Barge Transport Wins on Fuel Efficiency
Published Mar 29, 2017 6:48 PM by The Maritime Executive
A report commissioned by the U.S. National Waterways Foundation indicates that inland river barge transportation has improved its fuel efficiency for cargo transport compared to road or rail.
The study shows that barges can move a ton of cargo 647 miles with a single gallon of fuel, an increase from an earlier estimate of 616 miles. In contrast, trains can move the same ton of cargo 477 miles per gallon, and trucks can move the same ton of cargo 145 miles per gallon.
The improvement for barge transport was due in part to the continual upgrading of the fleet and the high utilization rates that were achieved in the latter part of the study period. Rail and truck remained almost unchanged during the same period.
The study, A Modal Comparison of Domestic Freight Transportation Effects on the General Public: 2001–2014 (January 2017), was conducted by the Texas Transportation Institute's Center for Port and Waterways at Texas A&M University. It is an update from an earlier study peer reviewed in 2009 which was updated in 2014 and again in 2017.
The 2017 update addresses cargo capacity, congestion, emissions, energy efficiency, safety impacts and infrastructure impacts. It compares the cargo capacity of trucks, trains and inland river barges. One common 15-barge river tow has the same capacity as 1,050 trucks and 216 rail cars pulled by six locomotives.
To fully appreciate the carrying capacity of a barge, the study notes that a loaded, covered hopper barge transporting wheat carries enough product to make almost 2.5 million loaves of bread, or the equivalent of one loaf of bread for almost every person in the state of Kansas. A loaded tank barge transporting gasoline carries enough product to satisfy the current annual gasoline demand of approximately 2,500 people.
The report estimated that the amount of cargo currently transported on major rivers is equivalent to more than 49 million truck trips annually. The hypothetical diversion of current waterway freight traffic to the nation's highways would add 1,046 combination trucks to the current 875 trucks per day, per lane on a typical rural interstate. The percentage of combination trucks in the average annual daily traffic on rural interstates would rise 14 percent, from the current 17 percent.
After adjusting for differences in cargo quantity moved by each mode, for each member of the public injured in a barge accident, 80.44 are injured in rail accidents and 824 are injured in truck accidents. For fatalities, there are 79 trucking deaths and 21.9 rail deaths for one barge-related death.
The rate of spills of more than 1,000 gallons are very low for barges, at 2.12 gallons per-million-ton-miles, rail at 5.95 and trucks at 6.04. Additionally, inland waterways transport generates far fewer emissions of hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and nitrous oxide than rail or truck per-million-ton-miles. On this basis, barges emit 15.6 tons of C02, while railroads emit 21.2 tons of C02 (30 percent more than barge transportation). Trucks generate 154.2 tons or 10 times more emissions than barges per ton-mile of cargo moved.
The report is available here.

What you need to know about the upcoming 'Silicon Valley' lawsuit
litigation lawyer kitchener
Silicon Valley attorney and litigator Brian Stryker says he's preparing to take the next step in his legal battle against the internet giant, Google, and the search giant's parent company, Alphabet.
The California-based lawyer says he has filed a $1 billion lawsuit against Google and its parent company Alphabet in the hopes of putting the search engines on notice about the way they're using their copyrights to infringe on his trademark.
Stryker is challenging the practice of Google's trademark management program that grants Google exclusive rights to Google trademarks, but he's not worried about a loss of revenues if Google doesn't give up the rights to the word search.
"The real danger for Google is that this will be a battle they're going to lose, and they're not going to win it," he told The Next Big Thing on Tuesday.
"And the reason why is that Google is a monopoly.
So they have control of everything that's happening on the internet.
They're the dominant company."
The search giant, whose name is synonymous with search in the U.S., has been working to change its trademark policies to avoid any confusion with a broader set of search products, such as online shopping, e-commerce, and mobile apps.
It has said it wants to give its search products an advantage over its competitors.
But Strykers attorneys are concerned that Google's approach to trademark management, which has already cost him more than $2 billion in legal fees, could cost him even more.
"Google's trademark policies are going to be very, very, complex," he said.
"They're going a step further than most companies in the world.
The process is going to take years, and you're not just going to have one guy in a room."
Google's search product, Google Now, has already been criticized for being too aggressive with its use of search, and it has a history of using its monopoly power to pressure content creators into removing infringing content.
It recently launched a new program called Google Music that lets users create a "personal playlist" and share it with friends.
Strysker says his goal is to prevent Google from making its search product even more aggressive by creating an online system to block infringing searches.
He's also calling for Google to make clear that its trademark enforcement program isn't just for copyright infringement.
"It's for all of the legitimate uses of Google," he explained.
"I've been very clear in my legal filings that this is not about Google's copyright, it's about protecting the rights of the people that are using Google products and services."
Strykers lawsuit has been filed on behalf of dozens of individuals, companies, and other entities.
The suit has already racked up more than 150 pages of court documents, and Strychers attorneys are optimistic that it could cost them more than a million dollars in legal costs, if he succeeds in his initial court filings.
The lawsuit seeks to halt Google's use of its trademarked "GOOGLE" and "GRAB" trademarks to make its search tools available for free to anyone, including students, doctors, and even people in third-party companies.
Google, however, argues that trademark protection is a legal right and the company has the right to use the word "G" in its search results.

Connor Rowe de Lompoc named winner of 2019 Yamaha Young Performing Artist competition | Lifestyles
By Ronnie K. Koon	 On Mar 26, 2020
Connor Rowe, originally from Lompoc, has been selected as the winner of the 2019 Yamaha Young Performing Artist Competition.
The prestigious annual program honors outstanding young musicians studying in the United States who excel in the jazz, classical and contemporary genres, and is led by musical instrument maker Yamaha.
Rowe is one of 11 musicians selected nationally to earn this honor.
"For over 30 years, the YYPA program has supported music education and helped foster the careers of aspiring young musicians," said John Wittmann, director of artist relations and education, Yamaha Artist Services. "We are delighted to honor Connor for his remarkable talent at this phase of his musical career and to see him build on the YYPA legacy on the path to a bright future."
Rowe is currently a junior at the Colburn Conservatory in Los Angeles, where he is studying tenor trombone with Mark Lawrence. During his time there, he played on tenor and alto trombone, euphonium and bass trumpet.
He won grand prizes at both the Pasadena Showcase House Instrumental Competition 2018 and the Lätszch Trombone Competition 2018.
In the summer of 2018, he was a finalist in the Frank Smith International Trombone Competition and participated in the Tanglewood Music Center.
Rowe also participated in the Aspen Music Festival in 2017, the United States National Youth Orchestra in 2016, and the International Trombone Association's Gilberto Gagliardi Competition in 2015 in Valencia, Spain.
He has performed with the YMF Debut Orchestra and the American Youth Symphony, and performs regularly with the Kaleidoscope Chamber Orchestra and the Los Angeles Sinfonietta.
Rowe and the other 2019 YYPA winners each receive an all-expense paid trip to the YYPA Celebration Weekend June 22-25, which takes place during the Music for All Summer Symposium at Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana.
This unique opportunity will allow young artists to perform in front of thousands of people, gain national media coverage and participate in workshops designed to help them launch a professional music career.
The 2019 winners will perform with renowned international jazz artist and Yamaha Performing Artist Anders Astrand at the annual YYPA concert on June 24 at the Auditorium Emens. Winners will leave the experience with the services and support of Yamaha Artist Relations and professional audio and video recordings, as well as photography of their live performance.
Rowe joins over 300 talented musicians who have been recognized by the program over the past 31 years. Many have established successful musical careers, both as performers and educators, including Conrad Jones, principal trumpet of the Indianapolis Symphony; Leelanee Sterrett, French horn with the New York Philharmonic; Stephen Page, Yamaha entertainer and associate professor at the University of Texas at Austin; Acclaimed jazz pianist Aaron Parks; and Kyle Price, artistic director and founder of the Caroga Lake Music Festival and the Caroga Arts Collective.

The Truth About Belly Fat
I often get asked about belly fat...where it comes from, how to get rid of it, why it's there, you get the idea.
There are tons of books and diets that claim to reveal the magic food combinations that will give you great abs. The only problem with this is that there isn't any magic trick to get rid of your belly and wake up with great abs. But that certainly doesn't stop people from claiming to know one!
Three years ago, a book called The Belly Fat Cure captured the attention of diet experts and those hoping to lose weight alike, and it has been popular ever since. Why? Because most people want a quick fix that lets them eat whatever they want and still lose weight.
The book's author, Jorge Cruise, says that the way to lose your "sugar belly" or "bread belly" is simply to eat a limited amount of sugar and carbs in the correct ratio. He goes on to say that the correct ratio is no more than 15 grams of sugar and 6 servings of carbs per day.
Sounds like science, right? But get this...
Some of the allowed carbs on his diet include chocolate bars and Cheez-Its.
And, the diet severely limits fruit. No offense to Mr. Cruise or his book, but eating chocolate bars and cheese crackers - neither of which offers any nutritional value - while avoiding healthy foods like fruit won't help you lose weight. (But don't forget you can have up to 1/2 of a dark chocolate candy bar - dark chocolate made with 75% cacao and above is best - each week on Beyond Diet. The organic cacao bean is full of antioxidants and is actually not bad for you, in moderation!)
Now, on to a plan that makes a little more sense.
Awhile back, Dr. Oz had Brett Hoebel on his show. Hoebel is a fitness and weight-loss guru who has appeared on such shows as The Biggest Loser, the Today Show, and Good Morning America. Hoebel was on Dr. Oz's show to promote his "30-Day Flat Belly Plan," and I agree with a lot of what he had to say about nutrition. (However, I don't agree with his promise that you can safely get the flat belly you've always dreamed of in 30 days. It takes longer than that!)
For a flat belly, Hoebel recommends eating proteins like chicken and eggs, complex carbs such as spinach and asparagus, and simple carbs like apples and berries. He also suggests eating raw nuts and nut butters, which I agree with. Hoebel also suggests adding fiber to your diet to help prevent constipation, since constipation causes bloating. Many of my recipes contain fiber as well, especially in the form of organic, ground flax seeds. Though tiny, seeds can pack a ton of fiber and go great in smoothies, salads, and even soups.
Look, the bottom line is this: No matter how much we'd like to, we can't dictate to our bodies where we would like to lose weight. Eating the Beyond Diet way, which means eating the way our bodies intended for us to eat, you will naturally lose weight all over your body, and you will feel great.
That said, if you really want to lose belly fat, the fastest and healthiest way to get there is to stop eating and drinking sugar and processed foods. As a simple carbohydrate, sugar has four calories in each gram...and sugar gives you a big zero nutritional benefits. Plus, because sugar is addictive, we tend to eat or drink foods with sugar and then want even more. And when we eat or drink more calories than we burn, fat accumulates, including (and often especially) on our bellies.
There is no shortcut to getting flat abs or getting rid of your belly. Only by eating the natural foods I have laid out in the Beyond Diet plan will you be able to lose weight - including excess weight in your belly - and keep it off for good. Fad diets don't work. Beyond Diet does.

I suspect that I am hooked on sugar. I try to avoid it but after I eat I feel the need for sugar.

Q: Setup repository and snapshot in elasticsearch In order to set ES(6.1.4) to backup indices in a S3, I need to configure elasticsearch.yml to set path.repo. I can't find anyway to do that.
Can this configuration be accessed from outside?
Thanks

A: It seems that you're using an Elasticsearch within the Swisscom Cloud. As this means you have a managed service, you're not able to configure it yourself.

Bed Bath & Beyond Falls Deeper Into Oversold Territory After Earnings
Analysts cut price targets amid falling sales and margins
Bed Bath & Beyond Inc. (BBBY) shares fell more than 8% during Thursday's session after analysts weighed in on its first quarter financial results. Revenue fell 6.5% to $2.57 billion, missing consensus estimates by $10 million, and non-GAAP earnings per share hit 12 cents, beating consensus estimates by four cents per share. Shares moved sharply higher in after-hours trading before falling during Thursday's session.
Goldman Sachs initiated coverage on the stock with a Sell rating and a price target of $11 per share. Analyst Kate McShane believes that weak in-store trends and an over-reliance on coupons as a traffic driver have put pressure on sales and margins. Jefferies analyst Jonathan Matuszewski shared these sentiments and lowered his price target from $17 to $13, adding that he prefers to remain on the sidelines.
With Bed Bath & Beyond stock trading near its multi-year lows, traders are looking for an opportunity for a relief rally, and investors are eyeing signs of a turnaround.
From a technical standpoint, the stock fell about 50% from its highs reached in April and broke down from trendline support on Thursday. The relative strength index (RSI) fell back into oversold territory with a reading of 29.67, but the moving average convergence divergence (MACD) remains bearish. These indicators suggest that the stock could see some near-term consolidation before resuming its downtrend.
Traders should watch for some consolidation below trendline resistance at $11 per share before a resumed move lower. If the stock breaks down from support at $10.50, traders could see a move to fresh lows. If the stock rebounds from support, traders should watch for a move to retest trendline resistance at $11.00 or the 50-day moving average at around $13.00, near another trendline resistance level.

A new species of Moenkhausia is described from the rio Juba, tributary of the rio Sepotuba (upper rio Paraguai basin), the rio Juruena and its tributary, the rio Papagaio (upper rio Tapajós basin), Mato Grosso state, Brazil. The new species' most remarkable feature is a unique colour pattern in live specimens, which combines eyes that are bright blue on the lower half and bright green (with a bright golden tinge) on the upper half, red pigmentation on the upper lip and a transparent opercle which allows a view of the pinkish red gill laments. The new species is apparently related to the group containing Moenkhausia oligolepis and M. sanctaefilomenae, which is also hypothesized to include M. pyrophthalma, M. diktyota and M. cotinho. The occurrence of Moenkhausia cosmops in both the headwaters of the upper rio Juruena (rio Tapajós basin) and upper rio Paraguai is congruent with other fish taxa and is indicative that a river capture has recently taken place in the area.

Over the past few hundreds of years, the world has changed radically. However, cultural stereotypes from the 17th century are still alive and well today, and even academic researchers sometimes use terms coined centuries ago. Why do they do that? Herman Paul, Professor of the History of the Humanities, will research this question with a Vici grant worth 1.5 million euros.
No fewer than seven Vicis are going to Leiden University in this round, two of which are for the Faculty of Humanities. Yiya Chen is receiving a Vici grant for her project "Melodie in spraak" (melody in speech).

Influenza Vaccination Provides Indirect Benefit for Stroke Prevention
These data indicate there is a clear indirect protective effect against stroke from influenza vaccination.
Recent influenza vaccination may have a protective effect against stroke, according to results of a population-based study published in The Lancet Public Health.
Globally, stoke is the third leading cause of morbidity and mortality, however, its cause can be difficult to determine. Despite its sometimes-elusive cause, infectious diseases including respiratory illnesses are a known risk factor. This study was designed to evaluate whether influenza vaccination may reduce stroke risk.
Researchers from the University of Calgary sourced data for this study from the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in Canada. Among all registered individuals (N=4,141,209) between 2009 and 2018, incidence of stroke was evaluated on the basis of receiving an influenza vaccine.
A total of 2,371,644 individuals never received an influenza vaccine and 1,769,565 had been vaccinated. The unvaccinated and vaccinated cohorts were aged mean 38.98 (standard deviation [SD], 17.31) and 48.34 (SD, 19.17) years, 44.41% and 55.98% were women, and 77.85% and 80.87% lived in a rural area, respectively.
Further studies in a variety of settings are needed to evaluate whether influenza vaccination could be used as a public health strategy to prevent stroke.
A total of 38,126 stroke events occurred during the study period, of which 90.41% were first stroke events. Stratified by vaccination, the vaccinated group had higher:
crude rates of any stroke event (1.25% vs 0.52%),
acute ischemic stroke (0.85% vs 0.35%),
intracranial hemorrhage (0.11% vs 0.06%),
subarachnoid hemorrhage (0.06% vs 0.03%), and
transient ischemic attack (0.28% vs 0.09%) compared with the unvaccinated cohort, respectively.
Although crude rates were elevated, vaccination was associated with decreased risk for:
intracranial hemorrhage (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 0.730; 95% CI, 0.677-0.787), acute ischemic stroke (aHR, 0.742; 95% CI, 0.722-0.763),
subarachnoid hemorrhage (aHR, 0.803; 95% CI, 0.716-0.901), and
transient ischemic attack (aHR, 0.915; 95% CI, 0.870-0.963) after adjusting for age, gender, comorbidities, and socioeconomic status.
In a subgroup analysis, vaccination was significantly favored over no vaccination for protecting against stroke risk (all P <.001), except for patients without hypertension (hazard ratio [HR], 1.146; P <.001).
In general, the protective effect was greater among men than women (P <.001); patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (P <.001), diabetes (P <.001), or atrial fibrillation (P =.001) compared with patients without those comorbidities; anticoagulant users compared with nonusers (P <.001), and individuals in the lowest four quintiles of income compared with the highest quintile (P =.017).
Among the subset of individuals with available data for the entire study period (n=2,407,425), a significant interaction was observed for the protective effect against stroke and the number of influenza vaccines received (P <.001), in which receiving vaccines every year associated with decreased stroke risk (HR, 0.432; 95% CI, 0.309-0.604) whereas those who only received 1 vaccination were not (HR, 1.082; 95% CI, 0.931-1.258).
This study may have been limited, as the biological mechanism of protection could not be evaluated.
These data indicated that a clear indirect protective effect against stroke from influenza vaccination was observed.
The researchers concluded that "Further studies in a variety of settings are needed to evaluate whether influenza vaccination could be used as a public health strategy to prevent stroke."

Q: CMakeLists folder is not getting ignored with .gitignore My code structure is as follows
cpppen
|
|-c++11-features
|  |
|  |-async_task
      |
      | - async_task.cpp
      | - CMakeFiles/
      | - CMakeLists.txt

I want to add the CMakeFiles/ folder to .gitignore
For some reason it doesn't seem to work.
*.o
*.cbp
*.cmake
CMakeCache.txt
cmake_install.cmake
bin/
build/
CMakeLists.txt.user
**/CMakeFiles/
venv
**/.idea
CMakeScripts
Testing
Makefile

install_manifest.txt
compile_commands.json
CTestTestfile.cmake

cmake-build-debug/

c++11-features/async_task/async_task.exe

Can someone point out why it is not ignoring the CMakeFiles folder under async_task. What mistake am I making in my .gitignore

A: If the folder cpppen is the root folder of Git (with the folder .git), it should work the way you wrote (**/CMakeFiles/) it in .gitignore. But .gitignore must also be created there (can of course be in any subdirectory, but normally/be default .gitignore is in the root folder of git).
cpppen
.gitignore
...

If you have tracked the folder CMakeFiles in any previous commit, you must first untrack this folder from Git. Do this with following command:
# Execute from Git root folder
git rm -r --cached c++11/async_task/CMakeLists

After that, you can add (git add .) your changes and commit (git commit -m "No longer tracking CMakeLists to include in gitignore") them. Now you are ready to push (git push) and after this, you can go to your remote repository, and the folder CMakeLists will no longer be visible there!

There is also another way (more professional/clearer), how you can add the folder CMakeLists to your .gitignore.
As it is now noted (**/CMakeFiles/) all folders in the repository that have this folder name (CMakeFiles) are ignored. What if you suddenly create another folder with the same name, but want it to be available on the remote repository? Therefore I would make the entry in .gitignore as follows:
c++11/async_task/CMakeLists/

This is how you define that only the folder you want (CMakeFiles in c++11/async_task) is ignored and not any other folders with the same name. Is a small thing that can make a big difference ;-)


okay, so despite being apart of the sas community for over 2 months, i realise i still dont know alot of you, so ive designed a few questions to help us all get to know each other a little bit better.
I listen to almost all kind of music. Classic, Hiphop, rap, metal etc.
Never have claimed to be the best programmer, but I spent a portion of my life learning my favored past time very well. Talking to junior programmers and college graduates usually irks me because they just don't understand the artistry of our craft. They're too young.
My family is full of arts and craft types, my mother was even a cartoonist, which pushes me somewhat away from drawing. Me, I have find beauty in coding, design, and engineering topics.
Thinking is a major part of me, and I consider myself an intellectual. In my "Youth", the study of combat and technology was a principal past time; but I've not been in a fight in years.
Favourite type of music: Anything that sounds good to my ears.
I tend to be partial to country and rock music, ranging all the way from cica 1950s to present day on both accords. The only things I really don't like, tends to be Rap music and that "Boom boom BOOM" crap so many dipsticks blast from their cars, which is also something I classify *as noise* rather then music. Hank Williams voice (link) is also, a sound that I find stomach churning at times, although he did do some good records.
Whenever my computer is on, you'll usually hear 94.9 The Bull playing, unless I've loaded Pandora or something from the BBC. 94.9 however, is the thing I listen to 95% of the time. I haven't found another radio station that I like as much.
In particular, I tend to like the works of Johnny Cash, Wayland Jennings, Braid Paisley, Talyor Swift, Alan Jackson, Trace Adkins, and numerous others: both before and after my generation, lol. When in a very bad mood, I favour hard rock and some metal.
When it's well done, classical and especially violin music is very pleasing to my ears, and in fact, given the resources and opportunity to master it, I would learn to play through the violin. There's just something about it that touches me.
The list of my favourite movies goes on and on: the list is huge. Honestly it spans films made as far back as the 1930s!!! I'm a very big fan of classics, and highly partial to comedy, action, and science fiction; but will usually watch anything once.
Black & White films are often some of the best. Many good movies also came out of RKO.
Those would be more personal then I would broadcast in a public forum. I have a "Bucket list" of things I would like to accomplish before I check out. For the brilliant analytics's out there, there is a film from 2000 that shows everything I desire out of life, after watching it, you could likely deduce my top 2 buckets.
I can quote Spidey here, anything that sounds good to my ears, depends a lot on my mood. Mainly i like rock music from around the early 70s, the more sophisticated the better, i like music either if it is brain-challenging, like difficult to play and/or to understand, or if it just moves me on an emotional level.
During my early years i listened mainly to heavy metal music, like Metallica. I used to play the drums quiet well and i was looking for sth more challenging to play and soon found myself in playing what is called "progressive rock" and also jazz or jazz-rock things, like Dave Weckl.
I also enjoy listening to classical music sometimes, what i dont like is rap, hip-hop, boom-boom-boom (whatever they call it lol) and similar genres which have only partially sth to do with music.
Im not really into movies, so its hard for me to name sth here. I like movies which activate my brains somehow, so i dont enjoy all these action movies so much lol.
Just a couple of days ago i watched a movie called "Memento" which i found quite nice and "Good Will Hunting" i recall was quite enjoyable.
Ok I like all kinds of music but with age I lean to country more and more, I get out on the lakes here and just feel like a little kid in a candy store, welp looks like I did type a bit there Spidey, and I been sittin here awhile,LOL.
I've had to learn to just type as fast as I can get my brain and fingers to go, other wise what takes a long time to write, takes all day -> being interrupted every 15 minutes lol.
3 I wouldn't call myself asocial, but I do prefer my own space and time. I have a few friends I like to be with.
(4) Studying theoretically/practically electronical engineering.
My musical taste isn't as narrow as it used to be, but I like Metal --> techno and everything in between.
1 The Man with no name-trilogy. Seriously. Yes.
3 All kind of comedy-shows really. Except for those new horrible sit-coms.
Visit remote locations in South America "preferably Brazil"
Hobbies would be Video Games...not just any game though. Mostly FPS or Strategy Games.
Im not actually a loner, but since I work 10+ hours a Day I don't really get out.
I am an Automotive Service Manager, I run a Garage with 7 mechanics and 8 Bays. I've done this for the past 12 years after being in Retail Management for 25 Years.
Honorably Discharged US Navy, 3rd Fleet VietNam Vet. I've been in SAS For almost 2 years.
Movies...Almost anything, All the ones mentioned (encluding "The Professional") are terrific.
*Travel to China, back to Japan, see yas at London, go to some where in Africa for a visit.
*Come home in one peace out of the Army promised to friends and family. thumbs up all!
Spending time with my lady.
MOVIES: Conan; Zulu; any Christmas Carol version.
THINGS TO DO BEFORE I DIE: Find a way not to die; Shoot fast, shoot straight. Pay the bills.
1. Games - S4 TSS, RvS, L4D, L4D2, KF, etc.
2. Mapping for the Source engine (L4D/L4D2).
Most of Alice Cooper's music; Heavy Metal Rock. Some Classical, particularly the William Tell Oveture. Michael Jackson.

Pink bumps similar to warts caused by the pox virus. Molluscum bumps are common in children, spread easily on the skin, and are contagious to others.
Multiple simple treatments are available, similar to wart treatments.
Warts are skin growths caused by viruses. HPV, or humanpapillomavirus, and its subtype are responsible for most warts. You are more likely to get one of these viruses if you cut or damage your skin. Wart viruses are contagious, but not dangerous.
For hard-to-treat warts, we can explore other treatment modalities.

All the main parties are united in a conspiracy of silence about the scale of austerity to come
Having already trimmed Whitehall of fat, the next government will be forced to cut into bone. But no party will utter this truth.
By George Eaton
(Photo By Masks depicting Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne are lined up on a wall opposite Downing Street by anti austerity protestors on December 2, 2014. Photograph: Getty Images.)
Britain is heading for another parliament of pain. None of the main parties denies this truth: all speak with appropriate solemnity about the "tough choices" to come. In his Autumn Statement, George Osborne sought to turn economic failure into political success by arguing that only the Conservatives could be trusted to finish the job of eliminating the deficit. Labour's slogan of choice is "Big reform, not big spending", an attempt to redefine itself for these straitened times. The Liberal Democrats seek, as ever, to split the difference by vowing to cut the deficit faster than the opposition but in a fairer way than the Tories.
Here the truth-telling largely ends. No party is prepared to itemise the next dose of austerity. Labour and the Conservatives respectively target the wealthy and welfare for further fiscal tightening. But seeking to raise more from these popular sources is the politics of easy choices, not hard ones.
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) estimates that £12bn of additional consolidation will be required merely to maintain departmental spending cuts at their current level: a gap no party has come close to bridging. Some are more guilty than others – the Conservatives' promise to cut taxes by £7.2bn, avoid further tax rises and eliminate the deficit by the end of the next parliament being the most egregious – but none is innocent. Divided on much else, the parties are united in a conspiracy of silence about the pain ahead.
After the 2010 general election, this was supposed to be impossible. The weekend before that contest, David Cameron declared that any future cabinet minister who proposed "front-line reductions" in services would be "sent straight back to their department to go away and think again". During the campaign, he said that his party had "absolutely no plans" to raise VAT, that he "wouldn't means-test" child benefit, that Sure Start centres would not be closed and that the Education Maintenance Allowance would remain in place. Each one of these promises was broken before the year was out. Never again, it was said, would any political leader be able to deceive the electorate so shamelessly. But the truth of Britain's fiscal situation is now being hidden. In an election as tight as this one, no party wants to break ranks.
Why inflation could break Britain
Inflation is at a 30-year high – what does this mean for you?
UK wages fall below 2008 level
This absence of candour is not a new phenomenon. The IFS calculates that governments make tax cuts worth an average of £2.2bn in the year before an election and tax rises worth an average of £7.5bn the year afterwards. In his pre-poll Budget in 1992, Norman Lamont, then chancellor, announced net tax cuts worth £5.5bn. Later, he reflected: "Not a very good Budget. But it did help us to win the 1992 election." Conversely, he described his Budget the following year, in which he unveiled tax rises worth £23bn, as having "helped to lose the 1997 election for the Conservatives".
By revealing their pre-election sweetener – a pledge to raise the personal allowance to £12,500 and the 40p tax threshold to £50,000 – at this year's conference, Osborne and Cameron moved earlier than most expected. This was partly born of a desire to "do something" (in the words of one Tory MP) to erode Labour's stubborn poll lead, as well as an awareness that the 2015 Budget could not be harnessed for this purpose. The Lib Dems regard the Autumn Statement as the coalition's last major "fiscal act". By next year, as they prepare to decouple from the Tories, it will be too late for deal-making.
The expectation in Westminster is that the Tories' sweetener will be followed by a post-election sting. Osborne insists that he can eradicate the remainder of the deficit through spending cuts alone. But rather than issuing a "read my lips"-style pledge on tax rises, he has merely stated that he has "no plans" to increase the burden: the exact formulation used before the 2011 VAT rise. "George will conveniently discover that things are worse than he thought and raise taxes after the election," one Conservative told me. With the Tories unlikely to win a majority, Lib Dems suggest that Osborne will blame any new measures, potentially including a mansion tax, on them.
One of the ironies of the duel between Osborne and his shadow, Ed Balls, is that the former has recently appeared as a hyper-Keynesian, spraying around unfunded commitments, while the latter has remained disciplined, rejecting any proposal that is not fully costed. This apparent role reversal reflects contrasting political fortunes. Osborne's aides believe his reputation for fiscal rectitude gives him licence to indulge in giveaways, while Balls needs to combat Labour's image as a party addicted to debt.
Yet the budgetary dividing line between the two men endures. Unlike Osborne, Balls has left room to borrow for investment and has avoided matching his promise of an overall surplus by 2020. But because of Labour's reputation for profligacy, it is terrified of stating as much. "You won't hear the word pass our lips," a shadow cabinet minister says of "borrowing". But with the exception of minor savings produced by Balls's zero-based spending review, Labour has done little to set out how austerity would proceed under its laxer timetable.
Britain and its public services have absorbed the cuts better than most forecast. The civil insurrection that the left dreamed of and that the right feared never materialised. While believing that Osborne's reductions have been unfair and premature, the voters have never stopped believing that they are necessary. But if austerity can be sold easily in times of stagnation, as an act of national belt-tightening, it is harder to sell in times of expansion. Having already trimmed Whitehall of fat, the next government will be forced to cut into bone. It should not be surprised when the voters ask why they weren't better warned.

China pushed back against Turkish claims that a Uighur poet and musician had been tortured to death in a Chinese prison، Bloomberg reported.
The Chinese embassy in Turkey said in a statement that the poet، 57-year-old Abdurehim Heyit، had been arrested for suspected crimes violating state security and was in good health.
Over the weekend، Turkey demanded Chinese authorities respect the human rights of the Muslim Uighur minority and close "concentration camps" imprisoning them.
More than 1 million Uighurs are being tortured and "politically brainwashed" in camps and prisons in China، Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Hami Aksoy said in a statement on the ministry's website Saturday.
While Turkey and China broadly have good relations، Aksoy said he was responding to the death of Heyit in a Chinese jail. Turkish media claimed he was tortured to death in a so-called re-education camp in China's Xinjiang Uighur Autonomous Region.
"The re-emergence of concentration camps in the 21st century and China's systematic assimilation policy toward Uighur Turks are great embarrassment for humanity،" Aksoy said.
Turks held small protests in cities nationwide to condemn China's human rights violations against Uighurs، Turkey's state-run news agency Anadolu reported Sunday.
Turkey calls on other countries and United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres to take steps to end the "humanitarian tragedy" in Xinjiang، Aksoy said.


The 23-year-old "Game of Thrones" actress and her co-star Maisie Williams teased the show's eighth and final season in a joint interview in the April issue of Rolling Stone.
Turner and Williams play sisters Sansa and Arya Stark in "Game of Thrones." Turner said fans should expect closure for the siblings and other characters in the show.
Co-showrunners David Benioff and David B. Weiss also spoke to Rolling Stone.
The producers voiced their admiration for the "Breaking Bad" and "The Sopranos" finales.
"'Breaking Bad' stuck the landing. We always talk about 'The Sopranos' ending -- as controversial as it may have been at the time, it's hard to imagine a better ending for that show, or any show," the pair said.
Season 8 opens with Sansa, Arya and their brother Bran (Isaac Hempstead-Wright) reunited at Winterfell.
In addition, Jon Snow (Kit Harington), who was raised as their half-brother, is making his way to the castle with Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia Clarke).
"Game of Thrones" Season 8 premieres April 14 on HBO.
The show released a first trailer this month featuring Sansa, Arya, Bran, Jon, Dany, Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) and other characters.

The Nohsi of the Republic, the avatar of the ballots, arrives at the grove with his retinue after a long voyage. He is announced at the central marquee and presents himself to the company.
"I am here Lady Aoife, I've just forgotten how to behave around diplomats rather then soldiers. This is certainly a welcome diversion!"
"Lady Ignatia!", the Krónjarla exclaimed. "Long time no see! How have you been all these years?!"
"Your Excellency, it is a delight to welcome you to the wedding. How was your voyage? My I also thank you for your kind words."
I thank you, m'lady. The voyage was pleasurable, although I am severely jetlagged, as you can appreciate! I have, thankfully, managed to refresh myself before arriving here! These are my escorts * gestures towards two Ruzhin palace guards and a gaggle of diplomats and advisors *. I must say, your other guests and your good self look especially radiant today - I can only boast the sash of my office and silk tie! In any case, I trust all have arrived now?


I received this ink as a gift and have been using it ever since. It is an absolutely fabulous ink not to mention the incredibly functional MB ink bottle! I find this ink to be smooth writing and very well behaved. I'd recommend it to anyone who is looking for a dark purple that is on the red side of the spectrum instead of the blue/grey side!
Very good saturation, excellent flow and good lubrication.
Average to quick drying time at about 5 secs.
No feathering and little bleed through (none on good quality paper).
There is some observable shading especially with a wet writer on a coated paper like Rhodia.
No ink build up, staining, or clogging.
If you are a lefty overwriter you might experience some smearing.
There is no offending odor.
This color is a little harmer in tone than it appears in this photo. Some of it's subtle red undertones are missing, but this is still a fair representation.

Darren Tanti and I met back in 2014 when collaborating on the APS Mdina Cathedral Contemporary Art Biennale. Back then, Darren was laying the foundations for a fruitful artistic path, and I was at the very beginning of my journey in curatorial practice. On the organisational team was Melanie Erixon, also a recent art history graduate, the curator of Darren's current solo show Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction, who makes an intriguing cameo appearance in the show.
The three of us were brought together by Giuseppe Schembri Bonaci, artistic director of the Mdina Biennale (which is now entering into its fourth edition).
Art's capacity to establish relationships, collaboration, and human solidarity is made evident through this poignant exhibition, in spite of its unpacking of that which threatens the planet's existence. Death, injustice, and the insatiable allure of pop culture and social media all made a persistent reappearance in Darren's art. These he treated with artistic virility and an aesthetic magnetism that no viewer could ignore.
His hyper-realist language speaks with profound intelligence, despite the artist's intrigue with the superficial layer of contemporary life. The work presented here builds upon the artist's previous projects. In 2017, Darren returned to Mdina with a large secular altarpiece that bridged the biblical with MTV misogyny. His 2020 project for the Mdina Biennale formed a direct bridge with Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction, as the work Forgive us for we have Misunderstood is exhibited once more, this time evolved into an entire series integrated with technological image sharing possibilities.
Burnt Head
The exhibition title takes us back to Faithless's electronic music track Mass Destruction (2004) produced in reaction to the Iraq War and the misinformation that still shrouds its motive and justification.
Darren takes his cue from the British band in his investigation of the machinations of power in manipulating and filtering truths, methods that social media users unwittingly replicate to conform to beauty standards and corporate interests.
Miss Atomic
At the Upper Galleries of Spazju Kreattiv, the exhibition is divided into four rooms. In the first, the living room, or salott, one encounters pixilated imagery and Asos-aesthetics as TV entertainment, and the lure of post-work comfort as trademarked by IKEA décor, all accompanied by three large canvases. Pop culture frivolity and the threat of planetary destruction greet us, and on the perpendicular walls are painted poetic renditions of the brief life of explosions. Darren has this idiosyncratic ability to turn tragedy into a moment of beauty.
The next room is the study or office space. A reminder of the capitalist echo chamber. Boxes on heads, boxes, and more boxes, reminiscent of Marjanu Vella's Kaxxa ħdejn kaxxa, saret kaxxa kbira, the Warholian Brillo reproduction and repetition mode of behaviour. Variations on human heads and busts are scattered throughout the show, all vacant and hollow. In (hyper/in)somnia, Manet's Olympia lies asleep watching Netflix on a bed of monitors. Her brothel workplace is now a cemeterial office.
Study for the central figure in 'Three bombs'
This figure and those in the canvases bear no eyes, no gazes, and hence no connection to the outside world, portraying a sort of functional somnambulism. In Three Bombs, Manet's Folies Bergère barmaid stands upright, naked, with her head concealed, her bar top now a mass-produced desk. The spectacle ahead has lost its urban bohemianism, replacing this with monotony and the monochrome.
His hyper-realist language speaks with profound intelligence, despite the artist's intrigue with the superficial layer of contemporary life
In the sewing room, another reference to work and also to fashion, fabric functions to conceal, recalling Willie Apap's persistent reference to the shroud in his 1960s corpus. The Perspex-protected drapery-laden bust, reminiscent of the Cristo Velato, acts as a memento mori – a much-needed reminder of mortality in such times of anti-ageing technology and constant virtual self-reproduction. In Eden, Eve holds her dead Adam's skull amid a war zone. She points to the assumed tree of knowledge. The scene and skull foretell the future of her curiosity and disobedience.
Empty Shell
Finally, we are led to the bedroom which is divided into two sections: Abstractions and The Innocent, contrasting hyper-realism with the exploration of abstraction in painting. In Abstractions, Tracey Emin's auto-biographical bed is here transformed into a bed of poverty, archaic electronics, and a golden laptop as the protagonist of the scene, contrasting such poverty to the value of internet connection and the promised land beyond the screen. Poverty makes an appearance in other forms. The hashtags positioned all over the exhibition are reminders of our destitute modes of communication today, as well as of the corporate takeover of communication in the use of slogans and linguistic tropes.
The futility of #sendingthoughtsandprayers is made evident in contrast to the large canvases that surround the tousled bed showing layers of reclining death: bodies on bodies, bodies and earth, skulls and gold. Hamlet's graveyard is a constant presence throughout the exhibition and is intensified with a corner filled with burned and cosmeticised skulls.
Unexpected Futures
On the other end of the hall, in The Innocent section, Eden's Eve is now pregnant and accompanied by an empty pushchair. This time, her breasts and genitals are covered by underwear. The artist shows us how Eve's sin has placed humanity in perpetual punishment, as the creation of life is here marred by an apocalyptic scenario. The apocalypse is looming at each corner of the exhibition.
Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction continues at another venue, Mqabba's Il-Kamra ta' Fuq, an innovative approach to present a solo show.
At this intimate space are presented the initial ideas of Darren's work, bridging painting with video, and complementing the body of work at Spazju Kreattiv.
Installation at Il-Kamra ta' Fuq
Within these rooms and in the gallery corridors, Darren shows us the tainted reality espoused by pop culture and social media and the impending nothingness of mass destruction: Picasso's Guernica screeching horse is turned into a cute, and vapid, unicorn, rendered black and bulleted. The four self-muses are seen taking a selfie for their own self-indulgence. By presenting the coexistence of lived reality and death in each exhibition space, the artist proclaims that the apocalypse is right at our doorstep, should we wish it to enter.
Inaction is a Weapon of Mass Destruction, curated by Melanie Erixon, is on at Spazju Kreattiv, Valletta, and Mqabba's Il-Kamra ta' Fuq until December 4. For more information, consult the two venues' Facebook page.
