En Provence, on trouve la bouillabaisse. A Calais, découvrez la marmite !
Small fish: red mullet, gilthead seabream, whiting, etc.
Recipe for the soup: Gut and skin the fish. Sweat the large onion with half a glass of olive oil in a large pot. When it starts to turn golden, add the fish and chopped tomato. Cook for 3 or 4 minutes on a high heat, stirring well. Add half a litre (just under a pint) of water, the zest of one orange, thyme and bay leaves and cook, stirring occasionally. A sort of dough will form, add water to make a liquid batter. Cook for 15 to 20 minutes, then pass the batter through a vegetable mill two times to extract the liquid and make the stock. If the stock is too thick, add water. Add 2 cloves of very finely chopped garlic, a teaspoon of pastis, pepper to taste and cook on a medium heat for 6 to 7 minutes.
Serve in a soup bowl. Delicately serve the fish pieces with a slotted spoon, add the mussles, prawns and langoustines. Pour over the soup.
This unique dish can be serve with croutons made from baguette and grilled cheese, and a few steamed potatoes.

Funding cuts for Birmingham arts organisations softened
Birmingham City Council decided a proposed 30% cut would have been too "damaging", but says there is still an urgent need to find new sources of revenue.
Birmingham Library lit up in celebration of Birmingham 2022. Planned funding cuts to local arts organisations have been reduced to support the Commonwealth Games cultural programme.
Elliot Brown
A proposal to slash funding for Birmingham arts organisations by 30% has been scaled back slightly because it would be too "damaging" as the Commonwealth Games approaches.
Birmingham City Council has approved £2.67m in funding over the next four years to provide 10 organisations, including the Birmingham Royal Ballet, City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and Midlands Arts Centre, with "some stability and enable them to move forward with planning their future programmes, including any aligned to supporting the Commonwealth Games 2022".
The new arts budget represents a £0.5m reduction in funding – a 23% cut for most organisations.
The decision followed public consultation and campaigning by the affected organisations, which were facing a third major cut to their council funding in four years.
Steve Ball, Director of Birmingham cultural sector advocacy partnership Culture Central, said the reduced cuts suggested its lobbying had worked, but added that the decision was indicative of the council's "precarious financial situation".
"There's still some frustration around the extent to which the council isn't fully recognising the economic and cultural impact of arts organisations in the city."
Difficulty sustaining the portfolio
The council considered allocating less of the arts budget to staffing costs and more to activity, but decided it would likely "seriously impede the council's ability to undertake the necessary oversight of its investments", according to a report approved by its cabinet.
It also thought about commissioning different companies or activities. However, large cuts to the budget in recent years – 25% in 2016/17 and another 34% in 2017/18 – meant it was "difficult enough to sustain the existing portfolio".
Culture Central, which formed in 2016, worked with the council and other partners to develop the Birmingham Cultural Investment Inquiry. This proposed new approaches to finance and identified opportunities for collaboration on ticket sales, volunteering schemes and procurement and marketing.
The report said: "Whilst some notable progress has been made in delivering some of the recommendations, more work is needed.
"Some organisations have been very successful in increasing income from other sources, although generally not at the speed or scale that could replace lost City Council resources."
Supporting the sector
A statement from Councillor Jayne Francis said Birmingham's arts organisations must share costs and boost their income given the "continuing cuts to the public sector". But she said it was "only right" that the council continue to support those organisations, whose work would form a key part of the Birmingham 2022 cultural programme.
A council spokesperson said the programme is being led by the Games Organising Committee.
Conservative Councillor Ewan Mackey said the council needed to place greater emphasis on long-term investment so organisations stay in Birmingham, and in infrastructure like car parking facilities so locals can access the arts.
"A lot more protection could have been given to the arts if the council had wanted to do so," he said.
"The Commonwealth Games are coming and it's a great opportunity to showcase the arts – but we need to make sure they are in a fit and healthy state to do that."
Future options
Ball said local arts organisations were focusing on creating changes that last beyond the Games.
"We are very mindful of the importance of the legacy of the Games. We're already talking among ourselves … to make sure that the Commonwealth Games isn't the only investment in arts and culture in the city over the next three to four years.
"The arts sector needs to create a relationship with council that isn't just with them as a funder. That's dominated conversations in recent years, and I think we need to be [casting] a much wider net."

Sisters advocate for marrow donor registry with South Texas Blood & Tissue Center
Kyra and Kami Crawford have received 100 plus blood transfusions due to sickle cell anemia
Published: February 23, 2021, 6:26 PM Updated: March 5, 2021, 5:20 PM
Sickle Cell Anemia affects one out of every 365 Black people, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The disease causes blood platelets that should be round to be shaped like a nail clipping or a sickle. The result: Bouts of extreme pain and fatigue.
SAN ANTONIO – Sisters, 17-year-old Kami, and 15-year-old Kyra Crawford, share an unusual blood bond that can't be broken.
They've dealt with extreme pain and fatigue their entire lives and now hope to help others heal from blood diseases.
"We pack each other's go bags every time we have to go to the emergency room," Kyra said.
The siblings are hoping to raise awareness about the disproportionate chances for minorities finding bone marrow or stem cell transplants that could offer a cure.
"In a pain crisis the sickle blood cells get trapped in the blood vessels throughout the body, wherever that happens, that's where the pain is," Kami said. "It's like little needles or even a hard-throbbing pain."
Both sisters need blood transfusions every three to four weeks to help manage the conditions, so far, the pair have needed more than 100.
"It's hard to be involved in everyday things in life, like going out with your friends, going to the movies or swimming cause you can't go when it's too cold or too hot," Kami said.
Bone marrow or stem cell transplants could cure the girls, but because Black people are underrepresented on the registry, there's only a 23% chance of them finding a match who must be from a similar genetic background.
Marrow drives that were scheduled for Black History Month at the South Texas Blood and Tissue Center were postponed because of last week's winter storm.
Instead of sulking, the sisters are advocates for the "Be The Match" marrow registry, hoping to increase survival chances for themselves and others.
The sisters remain smiling through it all.
You can help keep their spirits up by scheduling a blood donation by calling 210-731-5590 or visiting SouthTexasBlood.org. To join the marrow registry in their honor, text K2KLUV to 61474.

The diet to prevent CHD focuses mainly on the type and amount of dietary fat that is consumed. The type of fat consumed can change your lipid profile and thus it is important to understand the different types of fat and their sources.
1. The most important type of fat is saturated fat. It has been found that if the energy consumed by saturated fat is more than 15% of total energy there is an increases risk of CHD and elevated serum cholesterol and LDL. There are different types of saturated fat, the bad saturated fats that have a negative effect on your serum cholesterol are: Lauric, myristic and palmatic. An example of a neutral saturated fatty acid (SFA) is steric acid as it have no effect on your lipid profile.
2. Omega 6 Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) (linoleic acid) can be used to substitute carbohydrates which can result in a decrease in serum LDL and an increase in HDL. It also helps to reduce VLDL. However a reduction in SFA is 2 x more effective than increasing your PUFA intake. The recommendation is not to increase the amount of PUFA but to rather include it in the diet instead of SFA or carbohydrates.
3. Omega 3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA) have a dose dependant relationship with triglycerides. It is postulated that a diet high in fish and fish oils (thus rich in EPA and DHA) will lower serum cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides. In dietary terms one fatty fish meal a week (resulting in 5.5g Omega 3 FA per month) can result is a 50% reduction in the risk of cardiac arrest! Dietary supplementation of 1g Omega 3 daily can also reduce the relative risk of CVD death, nonfatal MI and stroke patients that have already had a MI.
4.Replacing SFA with Monounsaturated fatty acid (MUFA), lowers the serum cholesterol levels, LDL and triglyceride levels in a similar way as with substitution with PUFA. The effect of MUFA on serum HDL is dependent on the total fat intake. With a high fat diet there is very little to no effect but on a low fat diet there is an increase of HDL when MUFA has a higher percentage of total fat intake.
5.Trans fatty acids are naturally occurring cis-linoleic acid and can be produced in the hydrogenation of oils. Increased intake of trans fatty acids have been shown to increase cholesterol, LDL and can lower HDL. Trans fatty acids increase these levels but not to the same degree as SFA.
It is recommended that adults eat 6-10g of soluble fibre per day. The soluble fibre helps to reduce the serum cholesterol levels. This recommendation fits in with 5 fruit and vegetable per day.
6. Plant sterol are sometimes added to margarines (such as Flora Pro-active) and at the correct dose they can help to reduce serum cholesterol.

The Tool Invincible Time Signature
The "Invincible" time signature is a common question for metal music fans. It is actually a fairly straightforward concept: the song is played at 88 BPM, which is the standard beat-per-minute rhythm. But what does it mean exactly? This article aims to clarify the question. First, let's define the key of the song, A. Next, we'll look at the notes and the tempo of the instrumentation in the song.
Despite this, the band has also announced that they have already begun writing a follow-up to Fear Inoculum. While there are few details available, Danny Carey said in an interview with Metal Hammer that the group has plenty of material to work with for the new album. This is one of the most compelling reasons to listen to the new Tool album. The band will be releasing it in August 2019. Its time signature is something to be excited about, and we'll continue to follow it for a few more weeks.
The time signature of the new Tool album is very different from the band's previous albums. This new release is the band's fourth studio album and is the first one since 2000. The album's title track is named "The Invincible" and it is the band's most accessible release to date. The band's most popular song is "Fear Inoculum" and it features a time signature of 5/8.
The band has made an album that will be well received by metal fans. The band's sound is unique, and its fans will want to be a part of it. The Invincible is a psychedelic rock album that will enchant the listener. It has a dark, hypnotic edge. If you're ready for a challenge, this is the album for you.
The band's "Invincible" album contains three new songs. During their headlining set at the festival, the band debuted two 12-minute songs, "Descending" and "Invincible." The two songs are both remarkably different and will satisfy fans. The band is aiming to make a record that's more accessible to metal fans. So, a psychedelic rock album is just the ticket to the future of heavy music.
A good way to find a new song is to listen to it as many times as possible. If you don't hear the right thing, it might be too late. A good song is a great way to make your listener want to listen to it over again. The best place to start is with the first song on the album, "Invincible." If the album is on the album, the singer is singing at the front of the track.
The first song on "Invincible" is an instrumental track. Its title tracks are more melodic than melodic. The album features an alternating time signature, which means that there are different parts of the song that have different rhythms. During a riff, the song might be in a different time signature, and vice versa. The tempo of a song determines how it's played. A good time signature is a useful thing to have in your arsenal.
A time signature is a meter of rhythmic music. It is a way to count a song's beats. A good time signature is defined by a rhythm. In a riff, it is a measure of rhythm. In an acoustic guitar, the second one is a triad. This pattern is a simple counterpoint. Afterwards, you have a different way to play the tune.
The time signatures of songs have been categorized in two ways: eighth notes and quarter notes. For example, in the song "Invincible" the band uses a five-minute time signature and then goes to a seven-minute time signature. For a song, this time signature will vary from 5/8 to 7/8, which is the time of a section with a solo instrument. This change in the rhythm is a good thing.
Invincible time signature by Tool is one of the band's most popular songs. The song was written in 2004 and has become an anthem for the metal community. Its lyrics are also a reference to the band's history, which began in Australia. The songs on this album are a reflection of the band's influences. The title is the track "Invincible"; it is a more expansive version of its predecessor.

Genetic resistance to "billion-dollar bug" found in corn
Researchers have uncovered the genetic basis of resistance to western corn rootworm, paving the way for development of non-GM corn hybrids that can withstand the pest
EXCERPT: "Our previous research showed that there is no inherent resistance in the elite hybrids grown by most farmers in the Midwest," said Martin Bohn, a corn breeder in the University of Illinois department of crop sciences. "We want to improve native resistance to western corn rootworm in maize, without using transgenics."
Genetic resistance to 'billion-dollar bug' found in corn

* New study identifies genetic basis for western corn rootworm resistance in corn
Western corn rootworm can destroy cornfields — and profits — but populations of the "billion-dollar bug" have stopped responding to insecticides as well as the genetically modified (GM) corn hybrids designed to resist insect attacks, according to the University of Illinois.
However, there may be hope. In a new study, University of Illinois researchers uncovered the genetic basis of resistance to western corn rootworm, paving the way for development of non-GM corn hybrids that can withstand the pest.
"Our previous research showed that there is no inherent resistance in the elite hybrids grown by most farmers in the Midwest," said Martin Bohn, a corn breeder in the University of Illinois department of crop sciences. "We want to improve native resistance to western corn rootworm in maize, without using transgenics."
The work was done within the context of a large, long-standing project called Germplasm Enhancement of Maize (GEM), which aims to diversify the tools available to corn breeders by tapping the genetic resources of maize accessions from all over the world.
"Some of my colleagues look into lines that yield more; some look into nutritional characteristics. We were screening for insect resistance. There were not that many, but we found some. We had to look into lines from Argentina, Brazil and the Caribbean Islands to find it," Bohn said.
The resistant corn lines can't just be released here in the U.S. For one thing, the plants are massive compared to the elite hybrids Midwestern farmers are used to growing. They're also adapted to very different environments and wouldn't flower at the right time to produce reasonable yields.
By crossing exotic and elite lines, GEM created plants with a quarter of the genes of the exotics. Several of these lines remained promising with regard to their level of resistance, the announcement said.
However, the team still didn't know why the new lines were resistant. "What is the genetic basis of resistance? If you find that, then you can screen other exotic materials for resistance much more efficiently and effectively, with a more targeted approach," Bohn explained.
The researchers haven't found the gene for resistance — Bohn said the trait is likely too complex for it to boil down to a single gene — but the group has identified regions of the genome that appear to contribute to resistance using a technique known as QTL mapping. There were some common themes among the regions.
"When we look at other genes in these regions, one of the common denominators is ascorbate biosynthesis," Bohn said. In other words, one mechanism explaining western corn rootworm resistance might be the manufacture of ascorbate in the plant. The ascorbate synthesis pathway produces free radicals that injure feeding insects.
The analysis turned up another set of genes that may be involved in resistance, but this one is a little more complex. When western corn rootworm larvae are feeding on roots, some corn plants release a compound into the soil that calls nematodes to attack the larvae. The second set of genes appears to be related to the manufacture of compounds that attract those nematodes.
"This is very important because plants can't uproot themselves and go somewhere else, so they have to use other mechanisms to protect themselves," Bohn said.
The results are a first step in introducing native resistance mechanisms into new elite hybrids, but much more research is needed before that happens. Bohn cautioned that the level of native resistance found in the study is no match for the power of transgenic insect-resistant corn — at least not yet.
"The idea is when you know where the genes with these small effects are located, perhaps it is possible to bring them into one common genetic background. If we can accumulate these genes, over time we might increase the level of resistance so that it makes sense for farmers to grow them."
The article, "Quantitative Trait Loci Mapping of Western Corn Rootworm (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) Host Plant Resistance in Two Populations of Doubled Haploid Lines in Maize (Zea mays L.)," was published in the Journal of Economic Entomology. Bohn's co-authors include J. Marroquin from the University of Illinois, S. Flint-Garcia and B. Hibbard from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service, K. Dashiell from the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture in Nigeria and D. Willmot from AgReliant Genetics.

Getting up for sadhana in the morning is a totally selfish act - for personal strength, for personal intuition, for personal sharpness, for personal discipline, and overall for absolute personal prosperity.
There's definitely some pieces in there that reflect on my personal life, but really, they aren't as personal as everybody thinks they are. I would like them to be more personal. The emotions, the songs themselves are personal. I can't do it - I've tried to write personally and it just doesn't seem to work. It would be too obvious. Some things that you could read in could fit into anyone's life that had any amount of pain at all. It's pretty cliche'.
I think, we can only write very personal matters through our experience. When I named my first novel about my son A Personal Matter, I believe I knew the most important thing: there is not any personal matter; we must find the link between ourselves, our personal matter, and society.
The piety of "having a personal relationship with Christ" ... is alien to the New Testament... but evangelicals elevate it to the shibboleth of salvation! Unless you have a personal relationship with Jesus, buster, one day you will be boiling in Hell. Sheesh! Talk about the fury of a personal savior scorned!
Some people seek meaning in life through personal gain, through personal relationship, or through personal experiences. However, it seems to me that being blessed with the intellect to divine the ultimate secrets of nature gives meaning enough to life.
Personal power is a feeling that everybody is looking for called satisfaction. It is different from enlightenment, but you need personal power to become enlightened. Personal power is not the end of the process.
Brand relationships have become a lot more personal. People consider brands almost like personal friends. They have a fairly personal relationship with the brands they buy on a regular basis. If one of your friends upsets you, or does something you are not happy about, you might tolerate it for a little while. But there is sort of an elastic limit to that.
It's good that I put my personal ego aside. My basketball ego was, 'Why we negotiating?' But my personal ego didn't take it personal. I put my personal ego aside a little bit.
What we need is not so much personal development, as personal replacement: What we need is not so much personal development, but personal substitution.
The care leadership strategy is simple: be a model. Commit yourself to your own personal mastery. Talking about personal mastery may open people's minds somewhat, but actions always speak louder than words. There is nothing more powerful you can do to encourage others in their quest for personal mastery than to be serious in your own quest.
In the first centuries of Christianity the hungry were fed at a personal sacrifice, the naked were clothed at a personal sacrifice, the homeless were sheltered at a personal sacrifice... And the pagans used to say about the Christians, "See how they love each other." In our own day the poor are no longer fed, clothed, and sheltered at a personal sacrifice, but at the expense of the taxpayers. And because of this the pagans say about the Christians, "See how they pass the buck."
Being an entrepreneur does require a lot of sacrifice of your personal time and personal hobbies and things that you enjoy. At least for the period of high growth that you experience at the beginning of a company's life cycle, you have to be ready to make a lot of time sacrifices and personal sacrifice.
I've learned, finally, how to balance work with having a personal life. I had to separate my personal and my professional life but now that I only have loving people in my life my personal and professional life blend together.
I know a lot about forming personal connections with people. Not from, you know, personal interaction or anything, but from reading about it alone, in silence.
As an artist, as an actor, as a writer, you have to use what's personal to you. You have to be personal about your work; otherwise, it doesn't ring true.
Usually horror in your personal life can translate into some good music. Sometimes. Sometimes it can be really maudlin and boring, and kind of personal.
Personal style, be it that of Michelangelo, or that of Tintoretto... has always been that peculiar personal rapport which has developed between an artist and his medium.
Self is one, personal and impersonal. But it is only on the personal level that one comes to know the Self. When you know the Self, you realize there are two types of knowledge. First is to know how to exist and second is to know the all-pervading spirit.
Deceit for personal gain is one of history's most recurring crimes. Man's first step towards change would be thinking, counter-arguing, re-thinking, twisting, straightening, perfecting, then believing every original idea he intends to make public before making it public. There is always an angle from which an absolute truth may appear askew just as there is always a personal emotion, or a personal agenda, which alienates the ultimate good of mankind.
Everyone is always doing as well as they can within their personal limitations, their personal history, what they know and don't know and what they're feeling in that moment. If they could make a healthier decision, they would. This includes you.
The idea that any photography can't be personal is madness! I see something; it goes through my eye, brain, heart, guts; I choose the subject. What could be more personal than that?
I think people direct good films when they feel personal to them, not because it's a famous book or something. It has to something move over that and somehow become personal to the director.
I simply remix an artist accommodating the way I wish to see this track. Remixing is entirely personal for me, music is entirely personal for me, and it has to be a natural process.
I think service to others is the real key to winning our own personal freedom and the road to our own happiness, our own personal contentment and fulfillment.
My style of dressing is extremely personal. I am impressionable only to a certain extent. The rest ofit is my personal concoction consisting of my favourite trends.
I think it would be bad to a truly successful celebrity person, because I know these novelists where people get a cult following, and they have some strange personal attachment to them because it's so personal to read a book.
I usually can find a way to do a character to make it real and work. But sometimes it's a struggle sustaining that, because there's such a level of personal involvement and personal, physical, and emotional distraughtness.
Being exposed to the Ryan Murphy machine, it is very much a personal extension of him. So, if I can learn from that and tell longer stories that are quite personal, and balance that out with features, then that would be the ultimate dream.
I think TV is a fantastic medium right now because of what you can do visually. It's phenomenal, and it's just getting better and better, but in a way, there's no beating the personal image you can create in your head, with those personal aspects, which you can only get from reading or radio dramas.
I don't think I always look in people's faces, like, as - I think especially when I'm doing my more intimate songs that are quite personal, I always feel it's a bit accusing if I stare in someone's face when I singing quite a personal lyric.
The personal life of every individual is based on secrecy, and perhaps it is partly for that reason that civilized man is so nervously anxious that personal privacy should be respected.
My advice to anyone being picked on for being different or for working towards a dream is to remember it's never personal. These people don't actually dislike you at heart. They're just going through difficult things in their own personal lives.
Your personal development is your personal responsibility. No one can study or acquire knowledge for you. There are things only you can do, to bring the change or the results you require to make progress in life.
Everyone suffers personal setbacks. If you're experiencing difficulty in your career or personal life, keep it in perspective - by persevering through your difficulties, you're building a stronger personality in you. Never give up!.
Washington is a very complicated city. You have to work the personal relationships. They are politicians, they are congressmen, they are senators, but they are human beings. And for them to get to know you on a personal level really, really makes the difference.
That's the hardest part of acting: when it is ultra-personal, when it is deeply personal, and there's no lying involved. You can't fake it, you can't get by it. This is dealing with the most primal instincts and emotions that a mother can have.
It's not my job to get really personal in how I express myself. I've met fans, and they've been lovely. But letting my personal life out there, I don't think is a good idea for me. I think the more you do that, the more you can be accused of encouraging that kind of attention.
My personal life is a source of incredible happiness for me, but it's personal and it's not for me to hock, or shop around to the highest bidder. Plus, it could never live up to the amazing mythology that everyone online has created for me, so I'll keep mum about it.
Anguish heart attack is tightly packed on to people with actions full of emotions and personal tragedies yet they can overcome it with personal self esteem and nice thinking.

BETH BARAH (bĕth' bâr'a, Heb. bethbarah, house of the ford). One of the important fords of the Jordan, identified by some with Beth Arabah. The Midianites were expected to use it as they escaped from Gideon, thus Gideon's instruction to his messengers to "seize the waters of the Jordan ahead of them as far as Beth Barah" (Judg.7.24). Here Jephthah killed the Ephraimites (Judg.12.4), and here, some say, Jacob crossed the Jordan (Gen.32.23).
BETH-BARAH bĕth bâr' ə (Heb. בֵּ֥ית בָּרָ֖ה, town of fords), mentioned only in Judges 7:24 where it appears in a peculiar sentence. "...as far as Beth-barah, and also the Jordan." Many scholars have supported the emendation of the MT to מַעְבְּרֹ֤ות הַיַּרְדֵּן, "the fords of the Jordan." In light of the fact that there is no known location of the place, the emendation is plausible. If such a village did exist it must have stood W of the Jordan toward Esdraelon.
International Standard Bible Encyclopedia (1915)
Perhaps Beth-`abharu, the guttural being lost in copying. It is a ford which the Midianites were expected to pass in fleeing from Gideon. Messengers were therefore sent by Gideon to the Ephraimites bidding them "take before them the waters, as far as Beth-barah, even (the Revised Version, margin "and also") the Jordan" (Jud 7:24). "The waters" were the streams emptying themselves into the Jordan: "even the Jordan" is a gloss on "the waters." Between the Jordan and the modern Wady Fari`ah an enemy could be entrapped; it is therefore probable that Beth-barah was on that stream near its entrance into the Jordan.
See Bethabara.

Q: How to disable the splash screen on iOS? How to disable the splash screen on iOS using XE7?
I could not find an option to disable it from the project options as it exists with Android.

A: iOS strictly enforces some sort of image for a startup screen - even if it's just a black image or a snapshot of your main screen. The Android and iOS platforms are very different, and this is one of their big differences.
When you launch your app, whether you notice it or not, there is always a delay while loading your app. The same applies for any platform. Apple took advantage of this delay and decided to enforce the presence of a startup screen (or splash screen). If you do not wish to show any image here, your choices are:

*

*Exclude any image to just show empty black space

*Use a snapshot of the initial state of the main screen

[ANALYSIS] Flu plane: are we really ready for a global pandemic?
An Emirates airliner was quarantined at John F Kennedy International Airport on 5 September after several passengers reported flu-like symptoms. Oxiris Barbot, New York City's acting health commissioner, said the cause of the illness was "probably influenza".
Even more worrying than the fact that the WHO stockpile is unable to meet demand, is the fact that it is unlikely the vaccines committed through these agreements will ever be sent to the WHO for onward supply in the first place. If we are faced with a particularly bad pandemic, it is unlikely the governments of countries where vaccine makers are based will let 10% of vaccines leave the country, regardless of the agreement a manufacturer has with WHO.
The SMTAs signed between the WHO and manufacturers even anticipate this outcome.

This is the moment a father was found alive in the California bush by his children after six days stranded following a car crash.
David Lavau, 67, lived on leaves and creek water after he plunged down a 500ft cliff when he lost control of his car on a winding mountain road.
He was found by his adult children Chardonnay, Sean and Lisa at the bottom of a ravine in the Angeles National Forest after they refused to give up hope that he was alive launched their own search party.
Officials said that another vehicle was found nearby, but its driver did not survive the crash.
Mr Lavau's daughter Lisa said her family had not heard from her father for several days and reported him missing to police.
Authorities told Lisa Lavau that her father had used his debit card at a nearby grocery store, so she decided to search the area, along with her daughter and brother.
Family members said he survived by building a makeshift camp, eating leaves and drinking water from a nearby creek.
Officials at the scene were told he could have been stranded for as long as six days.
Police said that Mr Lavau told them that he spent the first night in his car.
'The next morning, he exited his vehicle and observed another vehicle adjacent to his own with a deceased male driver behind the wheel,' police said.
Fire officials responded at about 6.10pm last night and a paramedic was lowered to Mr Lavau from a helicopter. He was evaluated and then airlifted to hospital for treatment.
The three family members who found him had to be helped back up to the road by firefighters.
The crash occurred in a sparsely populated area about 80km north of Los Angeles. Officials said roads in the area had sharp corners and only two lanes in many areas, with some steep drops.
Firefighters remained on the scene late last night to do a thorough search of the area and make sure there were no other victims of the crash.


MOSCOW (TASS) — OPEC has published data on the levels of reduction in oil production by OPEC + countries as part of the agreement reached at the meeting on December 7 in Vienna. Saudi Arabia, which is the largest oil producer among OPEC states, will reduce output by 322,000 barrels per day.
In the first half of 2019, OPEC+ countries will reduce oil production by 1.195 mln barrels per day to 43.874 mln barrels. In particular, OPEC member states are to reduce production by 812,000 barrels per day to 25.937 mln barrels, non-OPEC oil producers by 383,000 barrels per day, to 17.937 mln barrels.
Since the beginning of 2017, the implementation of the agreement on the reduction of oil production has reached a level of 116%, the organization said in a report.
Saudi Arabia, which is the largest oil producer among OPEC states, will reduce output by 322,000 barrels per day to 10.31 mln barrels. Russia is to reduce production by 230,000 barrels per day to 11.191 mln barrels.
The ministerial monitoring committee will continue to monitor the implementation of the transaction on a monthly basis. According to the statement, the countries voluntarily undertook these obligations.
The next meeting of the monitoring committee will be held in Baku on March 18.
Earlier a source in OPEC told TASS that the publication of data on production cut quotas will make it possible to overcome the market scepticism around the December decision.
After the OPEC+ decision on oil production cut was made, Brent crude price dropped by more than $10 to $49.3/barrel.

It has been one year since the media caused a national crisis by inaccurately reporting that the government was plotting to withdraw notification to reinstate the judges sacked by Musharraf. Unfortunately, it seems that journalists and TV anchors did not learn from this 'moment of shame' and are once again causing alarm by rushing to report unsubstantiated rumour without conducting the proper background checks. We cannot even call out one or another media group as the sad truth is that so many were guilty that the entire profession has been stained by the event.
We are referring, of course, to reports that created a stir on Wednesday night when media groups rushed to report the resignation of Ambassador to the US Husain Haqqani. As the evening progressed, the reports escalated. Not only had the Ambassador resigned, but he had already moved out of the official residence. Then we were told that not only had he resigned and moved out of the official residence, but he was not returning to Pakistan. As it grew later there were even reports that Haqqani had applied for asylum in the US! The media frenzy had reached a full peak.
Of course, not one single one of these reports was true. It was all lies and fabrications invented by reporters and their sources and given the green light by unquestioning editors and producers.
Unable or unwilling to find anyone at the Embassy in Washington or the presidency to confirm the rumours, our media not only ran with the story, they ran riot with it. Were the false reports necessary?
By 1:30am, Dr Firduas Awan was available to give a statement that the government had received a letter from Ambassador Haqqani offering his tender resignation by saying that he did not want to be "a distraction from the major challenges facing our country and our government", but that no decision had been made to replace anyone. It was less than 24 hours later that Geo was able to contact Ambassador Haqqani by telephone to get his statement on the air.
Imagine if the news channels had simply taken the time to check not with their 'reliable sources' who every time prove embarrassingly unreliable, but with the actual people involved in the story. It would have prevented confusion, misinformation, and the continued humiliation of the media as incompetent and untrustworthy.
As the dust begins to settle, it is worth once again revisiting the recommendations of Farrukh Khan Pitafi.
Of course, there is the issue of talk show hosts-anchorpersons and their reckless attitude. It must be recognised that since each anchor-host is responsible for the content of his program, he/she is usually expected to act as an editor for the content. But remember in the heat of live programming there always is the chance of some inappropriate behaviour. A professional editor as the media's conscience should always be there to remind the anchor and to issue the corrigendum. Yet these are mad times and even at stations with elaborate infrastructure, a tendency of getting carried away has been witnessed.
Getting carried away has become not only a tendency, but an addiction. It is time to break the habit.

Phone banking events offer an excellent opportunity to bring together volunteers and get some serious work done for a campaign. Volunteers for a political or awareness campaign get a chance to meet each other, share ideas and build relationships which are great for their cause.
Make sure to send out invitations early so that volunteers have time to arrange their schedules for the event. Hosting the event and sending invites on social media will get you faster responses. One day before the event make sure to call up those who have accepted the invite and make sure that they are coming. Often times people forget these events and you don't want an empty house on the day of the event.
As soon as all your guests have arrived, introduce yourself and give them basic instructions on your plans for the event. Encourage them to ask questions and clarify any doubts that they might have. If the volunteers are to use an online phone banking software guide them on how to use it. Plan for a 25 min session guiding your guests on how to take part.
You should have scripts ready to hand out to the volunteers. Encourage them to find their own voice in the script and change the style while keeping to the content. People sound much friendlier when they are at ease with what they are saying and people are less likely to hang up the phone on a friendly voice.
Ensure that the calling list for each volunteer is available. For many, this might be the first time at a phone banking event. Guide them on how to go about making calls and taking down relevant notes for each call made. Note down any particular instructions that you need the volunteers made aware of so you don't forget it during the event. e.g.. Should the volunteers leave voice messages if they can't reach the person?. Give them clear instructions.
It needn't bee anything fancy, just some basic snacks and drinks will do to keep the mood light and pleasant.
The volunteers should have access to cell phones, or laptops with a headset for online phone banking. You can make it easier on yourself by asking the volunteers to bring it along when they arrive.
Provide clear and precise directions to the party. Preferably include google map locations with your invites. Include your number and address with the invites so that volunteers have a point of contact for if they get lost.
Keep these points in mind and your next phone banking party will be a success.


Metal Cutting. Cut Titanium. Cut Aluminum.
• Assuming that warping and changes to the metal structure are not an issue, what is the thickness from which waterjet cutting becomes the most cost-effective option?
Depending on the material, waterjet cutting should be considered as the most viable option from thicknesses of .19"-.31" (5-8 mm).
• How fast can the material be cut?
• What is the maximum material thickness that can be cut with water jets?
For metals, the maximum thickness is normally 6" (150 mm). Waterjet cutting has also been used in special applications where materials up to 15.75" (400 mm) thickness are cut.
• What about angle faults along the cut edge?

Jay Shetty, aged 5 from Wimbledon, London, has had cerebral palsy since suffering a brain injury at birth. A pioneering trial at Duke University aims to be the first in the world to treat cerebral palsy with sibling cord blood.
Jay is unable to walk or talk and has been blind for the last three years. In addition, Jay's spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy means he is unable to play with his little brother Kairav.
Unfortunately there is no cure for cerebral palsy but research with umbilical cord blood could change that. Research at several institutions around the world, including Duke University, has already yielded exciting results. Until now the clinical trials have treated children with cerebral palsy who had their own cord blood banked privately. The trials re-infuse cord blood stem cells through an intravenous procedure. Scientists theorise the stem cells will repair damage to the brain and improve the lives of the participants. In some cases, like that of Sparrow Morris who suffered an acquired brain injury, the results have been extraordinary.
Shilpa and Raj stored Kairav's cord blood at birth. They knew about the clinical trials at Duke and wanted to secure the opportunity for Jay to participate in any future trials using sibling cord blood.
Jay's parents, Raj and Shilpa Shetty, hope the procedure will have dramatic results for their son. 'We're delighted that Jay has been accepted for this study. It could lessen his symptoms of cerebral palsy to the extent that he may even be able to walk and talk which would just be wonderful' said Jay's mother.
The family are trying to raise £100,000. The money will be used to cover travel expenses to Duke University, North Carolina and additional therapies which are not covered by the NHS.

Titans' Last Playoff Game at Kansas City A Coming Attraction
David Boclair
NASHVILLE – The last time Kevin Byard traveled to Kansas City for a playoff contest, he felt as if he was starring in a movie.
No, not one of the great underdog epics like Rudy or Rocky. Not a tale a perseverance such as The Natural. It wasn't even the emotional pull of camaraderie as told in Brian's Song or Varsity Blues that flashed through his mind on Jan. 5, 2018.
"I just remember getting off the plane and it was snowing when we got there," the Tennessee Titans safety said. "It looked like The Day After Tomorrow or something like that when we got there. It was snowing hard. There was ice all on the steps getting off the plane. I was just thinking, like, 'I can't believe we're about to play a game tomorrow.'
"… That was the coldest game I've ever been a part of in my life. Ever."
It may have seemed like an end-of-the-world saga, but in a real way the Titans' 22-21 wild card victory was a fresh start for a franchise that two years later has come in from the proverbial cold with its current playoff run. Following victories at New England and Baltimore, they are in the AFC Championship for the first time since the 2002 season and are headed back to Kansas City, this time with a spot in Super Bowl LIV at stake.
That triumph two years ago was Tennessee's first in the postseason in 14 years and it foreshadowed running back Derrick Henry as a terror at this time of year. Henry, then in his second season, rushed for a then-career-high 156 yards and scored a fourth-quarter touchdown on a 35-yard run.
It also made the Titans the third team in NFL history to win a playoff game on the road after having trailed by 18 points or more. In their case, they were down 21-3 more than halfway through the third quarter before quarterback Marcus Mariota started the comeback with a six-yard touchdown pass to himself. Mariota caught a pass that was inadvertently batted back toward him by Chiefs cornerback Darrell Revis and ran it in for the touchdown, which made him the first ever to throw a touchdown pass to himself a playoff game. Mariota eventually connected with Eric Decker for the game-winning touchdown (pictured) with 6:06 to play.
"That's our team," wide receiver Corey Davis, a rookie in 2017, said. "We're resilient. We're relentless. You know, you're never out of it. We understand that playing ball in January, little things matter. It's always like that, but it's heightened ever more so now.
"We've got some dogs in this locker room and we're ready for this game."
Only 23 players on the current Tennessee roster remain from the team that ended Kansas City's season two years ago, Mariota is now the backup to Ryan Tannehill and Mike Mularkey is no longer the coach (he was fired two weeks later). Yet the current group, under second-year head coach Mike Vrabel, stuck together this season after a 2-4 start and won seven of its final 10 to reach the postseason.
The Titans unleashed Henry in earnest beginning with the final week of the regular season, when he rushed for 211 yards and three touchdowns in a wild-card-clinching victory at Houston. Since, he ran for 182 yards and one touchdown at New England and 195 yards (plus he threw a touchdown pass) at Baltimore, which made him the first player in NFL history to rush for more than 180 yards in three straight games. Those last two combined with his last appearance at Arrowhead Stadium make him only player to rush for at least 150 yards in a playoff game the last three years – and he has done it three times.
"Every year is different," offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said. "Every game is different. That team was very different from our current team. I think there's a lot of lessons to be learned from the last two weeks, for sure. Certainly, there are guys here who have played in Arrowhead so they're familiar with the stadium.
"But this is a different team. So, we expect a different experience."
The Chiefs are different, too, with Patrick Mahomes at quarterback. Alex Smith was the starter two years ago.
If nothing else, the weather will be similar. Two years ago, the temperature at kickoff (3:35 p.m. local time) was 33 degrees with a 10 mile-per-hour wind that made it feel like 25 degrees. It only got colder as much of the contest was played after sunset.
Sunday's forecast for Kansas City calls for a high of 22 degrees with the temperature starting to fall shortly after the 2:05 p.m. (CST) kickoff. Rain and/or snow is possible but is not expected to move into the area until after the completion of the contest.
"I'm expecting it to be cold, man, but at the end of the day, it's the AFC Championship game," Byard said. "I ain't worried about the cold. I'm worried about Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes and those guys."

Mac Miller said overdosing was 'no legendary romance' in documentary from 2016: 'You just die'

Rapper Mac Miller, 26, who was frequently open about his battle with addiction and drug abuse, has died from an apparent overdose, according to TMZ. He was reportedly found in his San Fernando Valley, Calif., home on Friday and pronounced dead at the scene.
Malcolm James McCormick described himself as a corny white rapper, but to many fans, he was a prolific lyricist, and to many in his industry, he was a genuine friend.
Miller's struggle with substance abuse was apparent this year when he was charged with two counts of driving under the influence after his arrest in May. At the time, his ex-girlfriend, Ariana Grande, voiced her concern when she tweeted, "Pls take care of yourself," adding to speculation that Miller's battle with sobriety had caused a strain on their relationship.
pls take care of yourself
— Ariana Grande (@ArianaGrande) May 17, 2018
In August, Miller told Rolling Stone, "If a bunch of people think I am a huge drug addict, OK. Cool. What can I really do? Go talk to all those people and be like 'Naw man, it's really not that simple?'"
But a 2016 documentary about the rapper, called Stopped Making Excuses produced by Fader, showed Miller saying he was in control of his life, which may make his death all the more painful for those who love him.
"I'd rather be the corny white rapper than the drugged-out mess who can't even get out of his house. Overdosing is just not cool," the Pittsburgh native said. "There's no legendary romance. You don't go down in history because you overdosed. You just die."
In August, Miller released his fifth album, Swimming. Before his death, he was scheduled to kick off a U.S. tour on Oct. 27 in San Francisco.

HM Treasury launches review of FCA and PRA enforcement processes
On 6 May 2014, the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced that HM Treasury would undertake a review of the enforcement decision-making processes for the Financial Conduct Authority (the FCA) and the Prudential Regulation Authority (the PRA) (the Review).
Allen & Overy intends to submit a response to HM Treasury's call for evidence in relation to the Review, responses to which are due by 5.00pm on 4 July 2014. Allen & Overy invites clients who would like to be involved, or would like to share their views with us, to get in touch with the key contacts listed at the end of this article.
When the Review was announced, HM Treasury indicated that it represents a continuation of the government's focus on strengthening accountability of firms and individuals in the financial services industry.
The Review's terms of reference are broad. It will consider the design and governance of the institutional arrangements and enforcement processes at the FCA and the PRA from end-to-end, against the principles of credible deterrence, fairness, transparency, speed and efficiency. The respective roles of the FCA and the PRA, as well as the relationship between their enforcement processes and the Upper Tribunal (Tax and Chancery Chamber) will also be considered.
Scope of the review
The Review will consider the following key areas:
the effectiveness of the current FCA and PRA enforcement processes and whether they engender "credible deterrence" amongst firms and individuals;
the fairness and transparency of the criteria used when the FCA and the PRA determine to refer a matter to Enforcement;
the effectiveness of coordination of investigations and enforcement action between the FCA and the PRA;
whether sufficient information is provided to subjects of the FCA and PRA enforcement investigations, and also whether adequate time is allowed for subjects to make representations during the enforcement process;
the fairness of the settlement processes followed by the FCA and the PRA, including whether it is appropriate to offer settlement discounts on financial penalties in all or any cases; and
the role of the FCA's Regulatory Decisions Committee and the perception that there is a "lack of independence" in disciplinary decision-making by the FCA.
The Review will also undertake a comparative analysis of arrangements and processes for enforcement decision-making in other jurisdictions. In particular, the Review will consider whether the UK could learn any lessons from international practice and whether there are any specific features of other jurisdictions' enforcement processes that could be introduced in the UK.
There is clearly a prospect of further reform following the Review, which could have a significant impact on the conduct of contentious regulatory matters in the future.
HM Treasury intends to report its findings and proposed recommendations to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, The Rt Hon George Osborne MP, in Q3-Q4 2014.
For more detailed information regarding the Review and the areas it proposes to cover, please see: http://www.allenovery.com/publications/en-gb/Pages/Government-launches-review-of-FCA-and-PRA-enforcement-processes.aspx.

LMCC seeks expedited narrowbanding ruling from FCC
The FCC's plan to treat licensees that fail to meet the commission's Jan. 1, 2013, narrowbanding deadline as compliant for purposes of frequency coordination is not what the LMCC had in mind.
Just days after the FCC issued a public notice regarding rules for the narrowbanding of systems operating on spectrum below 512 MHz, the Land Mobile Communications Council (LMCC) has asked the commission to reconsider one aspect that would have a significant impact when the compliance deadline passes in less than four weeks.
In the FCC's public notice issued on Nov. 30, the agency cited the LMCC in stating that "effective February 1, 2013, frequency coordinators will treat incumbent non-compliant 25 kHz systems as 12.5 kHz systems for purposes of identifying frequency assignments," unless an affected licensee had a waiver or a pending waiver request as of the Jan. 1, 2013, narrowbanding deadline.
But that was not the LMCC's position, according to a filing this week from LMCC President Douglas Aiken. Instead of being treated as if their systems had narrowbanded from 25 kHz channels to 12.5 kHz channels, noncompliant LMR networks would be treated as if they did not exist at all under the LMCC proposal.
"Rather than providing the incentive intended by LMCC for licensees to bring noncompliant wideband systems into narrowbanding compliance or risk coordination of an "overlay" exclusive use assignment, licensees of such systems would be treated as though they were compliant already," the LMCC filing states.
POLL: How should the FCC instruct frequency coordinators to protect licensees that do not meet the Jan. 1, 2013, deadline to narrowband their LMR systems and do not have a waiver or pending waiver request?
LMCC made its position known to the FCC in writing in May, and that position was reiterated in numerous conversations with FCC officials, so it "should have been abundantly clear" what the organization was seeking, according to Mark Crosby, secretary/treasurer of the LMCC and president/CEO of the Enterprise Wireless Alliance.
"We asked for an orange, and [the FCC] published a pomegranate in the public notice," Crosby said during an interview with Urgent Communications. "The deficiency in their approach is that you give the benefit of noncompliance to those who haven't done a thing for 15 years.
"Treating them as 12.5 [kHz-channel licensees] provides absolutely zero benefit — it doesn't help anybody. It doesn't create more opportunities for trunked systems; it doesn't do anything. It doesn't help anybody except the noncompliant licensee, who says, 'I knew I didn't have to file anything. They're going to treat me as I'm compliant anyway,' which is ridiculous."
If noncompliant systems operating on frequencies below 512 MHz are protected as if they are 12.5 kHz narrowbanded networks by frequency coordinators — as the FCC ruled in its public notice — the massive narrowbanding effort will not yield many new spectrum opportunities in most urban and suburban locations, according to Ralph Haller, general manager of the frequency-coordination operation for the International Municipal Signal Association/International Association of Fire Chiefs (IMSA/IAFC) and the Forestry Conservation Communications Association (FCCA) partnership.
"There might be a small number of channels that will become available when everyone is assumed to be narrowbanded, but it's going to be a really minimal number," Haller said during an interview with Urgent Communications.
Various industry sources have estimated that 30% of existing licensees affected by the narrowbanding mandate will not meet the Jan. 1 deadline, according to Crosby. One benefit to the LMCC approach — having frequency coordinators treat noncompliant system as if they do not exist — is that it would make it easier to identify which licenses are no longer being actively used, he said.
"One of the benefits of the LMCC proposal … is that we have reason to believe that there's a significant percentage of that 30% that aren't even there," Crosby said. "We would like to have the opportunity to engage with these potential people to see if they are there or not. Because, if they're not there, let's clean them out and then we get to do new and better systems."

I have preached narrow
I have preached narrow banding to my customers for the last couple of years! The commission making this statement undermines the trust my customers have with my business.
The LMCC is correct in its comments on how he FCC should proceed with licensees that did not comply by the date stated over and over again. The FCC states that will be fines for those licenses that are not compliant, then it tells everyone that you are compliant as of Febuary1. I thought the object of this execise was to clean up the spectrum, and bring new technologies to the radio spectrum.
This approach from the FCC will cause more problems.

This is reminiscent of Prohibition. There is widespread thumbing-of-nose at the FCCs authority. I think the FCC sees this and is backpedalling with moves like this "already compliant" thing, as they are afraid of where this whole thing will end up..

So we spent lots of money
So we spent lots of money changing all of our licenses so that they would be leagal by Jan. 1 2013. And this so called 30% only has to say "yes we are using our system and it's narrow band" and the FCC will change it for them at no charge.
