"There is something really sad to me about seeing photos of five-year-old North wearing a slip dress and black lipstick to a church service."
This is Kim Kardashian and North West, the former a reality star and business mogul, the latter an icon of our times.
Over the past few months, however, Kim has been heavily criticised for decisions she's made relating to North's clothes, hair, and love for makeup.
Back in June last year, Kim was criticised for allowing North to have her hair straightened, with some people also accusing her of applying extensions.
At the time, Kim shut the criticism down by saying that North is allowed to straighten her hair on one day a year — her birthday.
Then, in September, Kim was dragged for allowing North to go out wearing makeup.
After she shared some photos of North wearing lipstick and eyeshadow, Kim posted a message on Instagram reading: "Relax mom shamers, it's coming off in a few mins. I needed a bribe to get her out of the door...you feel me?!?"
And, in December Kim was targeted again after sharing photos of North wearing bright red lipstick at the family's annual Christmas Eve party.
Speaking after that incident, Kim said that North loved makeup, and she viewed it as a form of self-expression. Speaking to Refinery29, Kim said: "I already know North is into makeup for sure. I don't think she should wear lashes or too dark of a lipstick. It is a form of expression, so I want her to express herself, but I want her to be appropriate, too."
Well, you've probably guessed where I'm going with this. Yesterday, Kim shared a couple of videos of North wearing a black slip dress and sunglasses, and dancing at a church service.
However, along with the outfit, North was wearing dark lipstick.
And it didn't take long before people began calling Kim out in comments beneath the video.
Many criticised her for allowing North to wear lipstick.
Some also took issue with the outfit North was wearing.
And a few even accused Kim of sexualising North.
However, others defended Kim and said that allowing North to wear makeup was her choice alone.
And that the whole thing really wasn't a big deal.
Kim is yet to reply, but tbh it's only a matter of time until she does. I'll keep you updated.
BuzzFeed News has contacted a spokesperson for Kim for comment.

After a four to six hour ground school lesson, you can take to the sky for your first solo skydive or try a tandem skydive at Oklahoma Skydiving Center in Cushing.
The town of Cushing got its start rooted in a rich Native American history as part of the Sac & Fox Indian Reservation, while nearby Yale fell on Pawnee Reservation land. In the early 1900s, rail lines came to nearby Perkins before spreading to Yale and Cushing. This connection between cities helped Cushing reach its peak as the Pipeline Crossroads of the World. Today, you can learn more about Payne County's fascinating history while living and eating well at a number of excellent stops along the way.
Payne County's history as Indian Territory started with a Civil War battle. Attend the Battle of Round Mountain Re-enactment in Yale for a glimpse into this very battle, the first of its kind in Indian Territory. Then, celebrate Payne County's Native American legacy with a trip to the annual Native Fest in Cushing. At this one-day event, listen to storytellers and witness traditional drumming and dancing. At the annual Iowa Tribal Powwow in Perkins, guests can learn about traditional camping, arts and gourd dancing.
Continue in true Western tradition, and head to the annual Cushing Community PRCA Rodeo to experience its wide variety of bull riding, calf roping and barrel racing events.
Get a taste of Cushing's cowboy days with a trip to the Homestead Restaurant for dinner, sampling home-style southern cooking perfected since its 1953 opening date. Choose between all-day breakfast items, or munch on an Indian taco served with chips and salsa. Its sister restaurant, the Steer Inn Family Restaurant, also offers hearty daily specials, from the New York strip steak and sweet pepper bacon cheddar brisket sandwich to the bomb burrito and Frito chili pie.
Continue in true Western tradition, and head to the annual Cushing Community PRCA Rodeo to experience its wide variety of bull riding, calf roping and barrel racing events. Over in Perkins, Oklahoma State University fans can tour the Frank Eaton Home to get a sense of the man who inspired the "Pistol Pete" cowboy mascot.
After landing in nearby Perkins in 1900, the Eastern Oklahoma Railway line descended upon Cushing in 1902, bridging the two towns and Olympian Jim Thorpe's hometown, Yale, together. After stopping by the Jim Thorpe Home in Yale, railroad enthusiasts can explore the Downtown Cushing Centennial Park to spot a restored drover train car, a nod to the railroad's influence on the town. Next, venture over to Perkins to see original pieces of the Cushing MK&T Railroad at the Cimarron Valley Railroad Museum in the Oklahoma Territorial Plaza.
Once the MK&T line followed suit, new inhabitants looking for oil opportunities at newly discovered gusher sites had easier access to Yale and Cushing. From 1912-1915, the population of these two towns surged. Although town refineries have since closed, modern-day attractions continue drawing in visitors.
The Oklahoma Skydiving Center offers thrill seekers an adrenaline rush, while family-friendly places like Cushing Aquatic Center, Frontier Bowl, Iowa Tribe's Grey Snow Eagle House and Jim Thorpe Park are perfect for the kids. Adults are sure to enjoy Cushing Community Theatre performances and Mediterranean bites at Naifeh's Deli & Grill. Whether discovering snapshots of the past or exploring contemporary activities, guests are sure to have a blast touring through Payne County.

Where Do The Heroes Go?
stevepriceredlegnation
I was doing some research and something on baseball-reference.com caught my attention. I knew that former Dodger outfielder great Willie Davis and former Reds pitcher and Orioles great Mike Cuellar had passed away recently. Baseball Reference has always had an area devoted to "In Memoriam" for players who've recently passed and when I opened the website today I noticed that another player, former Pirate catcher Jim Pagliaroni, had passed on too.
Pagliaroni was never a great player, but he was a good catcher who played 11 seasons in the majors. What makes Pagliaroni special to me was that his was one of the first "old" baseball cards that was ever given to me.
I don't remember how I got it or who even gave it to me, but Pagliaroni had retired from baseball before I became a baseball fan. My first Topps baseball cards were of the 1970 season variety, featuring stats from the 1969 season. The Seattle Pilots have been special to me ever since, and I even have a special place in my heart for catcher Ron Brand of the Montreal Expos (lifetime batting average of .239). Brand's card is the first baseball card I remember seeing; the second was of Pilots pitcher Fred Talbot (you may remember has as a Jim Bouton nemesis in the book "Ball Four").
Other favorites of mine were from the 1971 set, infielder Ken Szotkiewicz of the Detroit Tigers (lifetime batting average of .107…but a first round draft pick) and catcher Tom Tischinski of the Minnesota Twins (lifetime .181, free agent from 1962). I also had a Tischinski card from the 1970 set. Neither were good players, but both had names vastly different and seemingly more complex than mine (Steve Price) and I was proud that I could spell their names. May be it was because we shared similar batting averages since I batted .150 in my 11-year-old Little League season, but, for whatever the reason, they've stayed with me all these years.
It's been forty years, nearly a generation, since I purchased these cards; I used to buy two packs a week (10 cards each pack with the plank shaped stick bubble gum inside) with my 25 cents a week allowance (that was my allowance then, lukeukcrazy). And, there were times I used to walk two miles each way next to a major highway to reach the nearest convenience store to feed my weekly addiction. (Darn the 1971 set…I got every Red from the 1970 World Series team except for that .237 batting and my compadre second baseman Tommy Helms…).
It seems very odd now that I see my childhood heroes passing on. Many of you will share my same feelings, and it just doesn't seem right. Am I getting that much older?
Well, baseball-reference keeps a list of where players died (here's a list of all the states' of players births and deaths). As serendipity would have it, I came across another chart moments later, this one from Baseball-Almanac.com which is a composite by month of when baseball players die. Would you believe that fewer players seem to die in summer, especially at pennant race time? The death rate spikes in winter and in April as the season begins. Is this a coincidence? I really don't know, and I don't how it compares to the general populace. However, it really didn't surprise me. Could it be that those are the times when retired players miss the sport they love the most? Are the players broken-hearted?
I'm not one to be caught up in morbid curiousity…I don't watch "CSI" or "Bones" or any of the other crime dramas that are shown on television. To me, those shows breed fear and, at worst, form an open classroom for other future perpetrators. However, baseball mirrors life…and it's hard to see those memories fade away.
I never saw Jim Pagliaroni play baseball. As I mentioned, Pagliaroni retired after the 1969 season, the year before I started collecting. My memory is that of Paglaroni, in full catcher's gear (except no mask), holding a baseball in his right hand, ready to throw, and with his cather's mitt swinging to the left to give him leverage and balance…with a HUGE smile on his face. He seemed to have deep wrinkles on his face, but he looked to be in love with the game. And, oh…he died on April 3 of this year, the day before the 2010 season began. Coincidence? I don't think so.

Odisha Government Allots Rs 60 Lakh to Feed Stray Animals during Coronavirus Lockdown
To feed stray animals during coronavirus lockdown, the Odisha government has sanctioned Rs. 60 lakh from Chief Minister Relief Fund. The money has been allocated to five municipal corporations, 48 municipalities and 61 Notified Area Councils (NACs).
Last week, the Department of Housing and Urban Development asked the civic bodies to make provisions to feed stray animals in urban and semi-urban areas. The amount was sanctioned by Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Sunday.
The state government decided to make arrangements after considering that once the lockdown was implemented, the locals will be unable to feed stray animals.
Animals such as stray dogs and cattle are facing a serious food shortage amid lockdown. The animals will be fed by volunteers and voluntary organisations.

The government has fixed the unit cost per day for all municipal corporations, municipalities, and all NAC areas to meet the expenses of the work.
The amount will allow Bhubneshwar, Cuttack, Sambalpur, Rourkela and Brahmapur metropolitan corporations to spend Rs 20,000 a day, the municipalities have been permitted to spend Rs 5,000 a day, and NACs have been allocated Rs 2,000 a day to feed the stray animals.
The state has taken serious measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus pandemic. It has decided to give priority to vaccination of 18 to 44 age group people in five municipal corporations where the infection rate is relatively high.
The decision of the Odisha government to feed stray animals during lockdown has been praised by the people. More such initiatives are a must to take care of stray animals.

Welcome to our art blog.
This year our art focus for Art Fortnight is Conservation and the Art of Recycling. We are creating our masterpieces out of recycled rubbish collected by the children and staff at Foxfield Primary School. We are helping to protect the environment and save the planet by using recycled products. We will try to update you daily with how our work is progressing.


This is the time of year to get out to farmers markets, to grow a garden, and find more abundant local produce! Yay for summer! The abundance of fresh produce is a goldmine for boosting your fertility! How? The fresher the produce, the more nutritional value it has.
One way we love to get in a wide variety of fresh veggies as part of our fertility diet is to create fresh juices. I am sure we are all familiar with the vegetable juice V8®! Perhaps we all have a favorite Bloody Mary mix or gazpacho recipe? Well this recipe is similar to one of those vegetable juices, but it surpasses them in nutrition because it is FRESH, which means it is packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. Fresh, local produce is at its peak nutritional value, unlike V8. V8 has been pasteurized which kills many beneficial, heat-sensitive antioxidants, is enriched with synthetic nutrients to boost nutritional value and then preserved with chemical additives to enhance taste and make it shelf stable.
Tomatoes are high in lycopene and vitamin C. Lycopene is a carotenoid antioxidant that increases in bioavailability when tomatoes are processed (juiced, crushed) by breaking down the cell walls in the tissue matrix of the tomato flesh. It is one of the only foods on Earth that does this. Lycopene is fat soluble, so it is easily assimilated when combined with fats. Think of nuts and a good quality olive oil. Once lycopene is absorbed in the stomach, it is carried to the liver (essential for proper hormonal balance), the adrenal glands (also has an important role in hormonal balance and stress response), and the testes, which we all know is an important aspect of creating a baby! One study (Fert. Ster., 2013) showed men who consumed a diet rich in lycopene had better-quality sperm morphology.
Tomatoes are also high in other antioxidants, which we know work together as free radical scavengers to help protect cellular health. Our entire bodies are made up of cells, so consuming foods rich in antioxidants is vital to sustaining health. In addition, antioxidants are especially critical to egg and sperm quality.
Carrots are high in beta-carotene, which is metabolized into vitamin A during digestion. They are also high in fiber and other antioxidants. Only 3% of beta-carotene in raw carrots is absorbed during digestion; pureeing, pulping, juicing and cooking can increase this by 39%! A study published in 2013 by Fertility and Sterility showed that men who ate a diet rich in beta-carotene had better sperm motility. Vitamin A is also essential for the utilization of proteins, minerals, and other vitamins, aiding the body in utilizing nutrients from other foods!
This plant is high in calcium! It is important to get an adequate intake of calcium-rich foods while trying to conceive in order to build up your stores for pregnancy. You will need to have enough calcium during pregnancy to keep your teeth healthy and to help the formation of your baby's teeth and bones. Calcium is also alkalizing for the body; a more alkaline body is favorable for producing healthy cervical mucus, necessary for nourishing the sperm on its way to the awaiting ovum. A more alkaline vaginal environment is also a way to help prevent yeast infection. For hundreds of years, celery has been used as a blood purifying tonic. It sure sounds like a great way to support preconception detoxification!
Onions are a rich source of vitamins A, B & C. Onions also contain folate, calcium, phosphorus, chromium, magnesium, and iron. This pungent vegetable is anti-inflammatory and very antiseptic, helping to fight bad bacteria in the gut. In fact, it is considered a prebiotic, feeding our good gut bacteria. Its anti-inflammatory properties may be a good choice for people who suffer from painful reproductive health issues, such as endometriosis. Regular consumption of onion may also be a good choice for women with PCOS. The chromium in onions helps the body to respond properly to insulin levels, improving glucose tolerance. It is also said that onion is an aphrodisiac, aiding those with sexual debility.
Cucumbers are great for digestion because of their high water content. 1 cup of cucumber is high in vitamin A, folate, niacin, B6, and vitamins E and K. They also contain a wide variety of trace minerals. You can only receive these benefits by leaving the skin on! This vegetable is a great way to increase your liquid intake, while cleansing the digestive tract. Proper digestion is essential to overall fertility.
Red peppers are also high in lycopene, just like tomatoes; lycopene is what gives them their red color. This delicious veggie contains high amounts of vitamin C, even more than an orange! One red pepper also contains close to 100% of your daily requirement for vitamin A. In addition, they supply the body with good amounts of vitamin K, B6, E, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, potassium, manganese, and folate. Vitamin C is essential for a healthy immune system, and absorption of iron. Vit. C has been found to protect the sperm from oxidative damage, while reducing agglutination (clumping together).
Garlic has been found to support heart health. Proper heart health is essential when facing stressful medical procedures such as IVF, HSG, or hormone testing. Trying to conceive for a long time with no results can be extremely stressful, raising our heart rate. The heart is also essential for healthy circulation. This bulb helps to regulate insulin levels, which is supportive for women with PCOS. Garlic is very supportive of the immune system (high in vitamin C), which plays an intricate role in conception and pregnancy. Garlic also contains adequate amounts of B vitamins, shown to be important to the luteal phase of the menstrual cycle (think progesterone production) and preventing PMS.
This leafy green herb aids in digestion and is used by some herbalists as an emmenagogue, which means it promotes blood flow to the reproductive organs, aiding in bringing on menstruation, while promoting a regular menstrual cycle. Parsley is mineral and vitamin rich!
Parsley does have a slight caution: Very high consumption of parsley is not recommended during pregnancy.
Now you can see how combining all of these garden-fresh foods can boost fertility and health overall, giving you and your future child the best chance possible at a healthy life!
Note: In order to make this fresh juice you will need a juicer.
1. Purchase organic produce, especially tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, herbs, and celery.
2. Rinse, peel carrots, remove seeds of red pepper; prepare all veggies.
3. Juice tomatoes, celery, cucumber, garlic, parsley, cilantro, & onion first. Next juice red pepper and carrots last. You can roll the parsley into a ball and stuff it in the red pepper, this will help to juice the parsley more slowly.
The taste of this juice is at first cool and light, with the clear aftertaste of the onion and garlic. I think it would be a great base for gazpacho on a hot day! You can also change the amounts of the ingredients to your liking. So, head out to the farmers market this week and come home with all of these vegetables, juice them, and add a little lime for garnish. Sip this while you sit in the sun and enjoy a blissful day!
Thanks for the usual informative and helpful news about fertility juice. I do have a question. I was listening to a lecture from another herbalist who mentioned that you should stay away from carrots while trying to conceive. I see it included in the recipe here. What's the deal with carrots?
I have honestly not heard carrots specifically should be avoided while trying to conceive. I venture a guess (because I know it's not right to assume :-)) that this suggestion may be because some studies have shown that consuming too much vitamin A in pregnancy may cause birth defects. If so, this only happens with synthetic forms of water-soluble forms of vitamin A, when consumed in very high amounts. It is NOT known to be a result of consuming vitamin A through whole food sources, in a natural form. When vitamin A is taken as a whole food source it is not toxic to developing babies. When vitamin A is combined with vitamin D, it has been shown that the vitamin D protects the body from vitamin A toxicity. This allows the human body to withstand higher levels of vitamin A. One would have to consume lots of carrots to reach "higher levels".
I am really learning alot from your website, thank you for all the information. I have 2 quick question about the Fertility boosting Juice.
2. How often can I drink this?
Hello! This Fertility Boosting Vegetable Juice is intended as a way to boost nutrients levels in addition to eating three-five whole food, nutrient dense meals. It should not replace a meal. It can be consumed once a day if you wish.

Dubrovski () este un roman neterminat al scriitorului rus Aleksandr Pușkin, început în 1832.

Pușkin a început acest roman în octombrie 1832. Ultimul capitol al romanului, rămas neterminat, a fost scris la începutul anului 1833.  Romanul a fost publicat prima dată sub titlul "Dubrovski", în ediția postumă a operelor lui Pușkin, în anul 1841, vol. X. Denaturile și tăieturile cenzurii au fost îndreptate după mulți ani.

La baza subiectul romanului se află episodul comunicat lui Pușkin de către prietenul său P. V. Nașciokin, din viața unui "nobil bielorus scăpătat, cu numele de Ostrovski (cum fusese inițial denumit romanul), care s-a judecat cu un vecin pentru pământ, a fost gonit de pe moșie și, rămas doar cu servitorii lui, a început să prade întâi slujbașii satului și apoi și pe alții". Nașciokin îl văzuse pe acest Ostrovski la închisoare. Pușkin a folosit ca material pentru romanul său și procesul autentic de la Tribunalul județean din Cozlov, din octombrie 1832 "Despre însușirea ilegală de către locotenentul Ivan, fiul lui Iacov Muratov, a moșiei aparținând locotenentului-colonel de gardă Semion, fiul lui Piotr Criucov, situată în gubernia Tambov, județul Cozlov, satul Novopansc". Copia acestui proces s-a păstrat printre hârtiile lui Pușkin.

Most countries require their residents to pay taxes on global income. Where the U.S. differs is that they require all citizens everywhere, even non-resident citizens, to pay taxes on global income. So if you are an American living and working in London, you may have to pay taxes on your income to both the U.S. and the U.K., while if you are a Brit living and working in New York, you would only have to pay income taxes to the U.S., as the U.K. does not require non-resident Brits to pay UK income tax.

As you can see in the above cURL my web server is redirecting non www HTTP traffic to www HTTPS just fine, however, when I attempt the same redirect from www HTTP to www HTTPS it fails and on shows a 200 when I should get a 301.
Any suggestions at this point would be greatly appreciated.

A: Turns out the issue was due to my CDN. I've since made the appropriate policy changes and my web servers redirect is now working.

Still hangin around old London town..
but due to ship out tomorrow. The recording sessions went well and we picked up a gig last weekend at the Bulls Head Pub where I saw Barbara Thompson and her band back in the summer of 1978. It's still a really small place. Both Hank and Harold have been working on some new tunes that we sandwiched in at the gig and they went over well. The audiences so far this tour have been just wonderful and I can't say enough about everyone's hospitality.

As attrition rates of Australian undergraduate distance programs are consistently high, this article investigates whether retention can be increased by increasing the students' satisfaction through improving the student experience. This project examines the distance student experience informed by students' satisfaction with already identified crucial program factors. The authors propose that the Experience Economy model, utilised in tourism studies and general economics, is also relevant to education. An online survey collected data from 75 undergraduate distance students. Gathered data was analysed using two simple mediation models. The distance student experience and the students' satisfaction with crucial program factors were strongly indirectly related to the students' intention to persist through the students' overall satisfaction. The results indicate that designers of tertiary distance courses should consider program factors and the characteristics of the distance student experience to ensure high levels of student satisfaction and to increase the students' intention to persist.
The popularity of completing higher education courses online has increased rapidly over recent years (Lee & Choi, 2011), with around 20 percent of all Australian tertiary students enrolled in online programs (Australian Bureau of Statistics, 2015). Students decide to study online for various reasons, including flexibility, the opportunity to integrate study with family and work commitments and the advantage of being unrestricted regarding location and time (Lee & Choi, 2011; Parker, 1999; Liu, Gomez, & Yen, 2009). However, one major disadvantage has been consistent over recent years. High attrition rates of about 45 percent compared to 18 percent for on-campus students have not improved in recent years (Australian Government – Department of Education and Training, 2015).
This study considers whether the design of Australian distance education courses can be improved thus increasing student retention. Referring to the above mentioned longitudinal data of the Australian Government – Department of Education and Training (2015), student retention includes students who are still enrolled in a course or who graduated from university. To add to previously identified crucial program factors for distance student retention, we consider the potential implications and application of a tourism and business model, Pine and Gilmore's Experience Economy (1998). The model explains how authentic experiences can be created. Authentic learning experiences comprise activities that reflect the reality, are enriching and mesmerising, and allow the student to engage (Herrington & Herrington, 2006). Furthermore, the research objectives of this study, the identification of how the student experience, the student satisfaction and retention in online courses are related, are outlined. This article utilises simple mediation models to describe the procedure of determining the relationship between more than two variables with a sample size of n = 75.

Q: When back, if I say "Out of office until Thursday" I am always confused when I get an email stating "out of office until Thursday". Is the sender back on Thursday or still out of office (o.o.o.) on Thursday and only back on Friday? Is there a good reference that defines the meaning? Please do not tell me that it would be better to state "back on Thursday", since this does not answer the question.

A: Until x means that the change occurs on/at x:

I am here until Friday. | From Friday I will not be here.

or

I am playing football until 7pm. | At 7pm I finish playing football.

or

The store is closed until March.  | In March the store opens.

In your example:

I am out of the office until Thursday.  |  From Thursday I am back in the office.

Thumbsaver™ is the CAMX solution to a number of crossbow design challenges. First and foremost, the crossbow should protect the shooters front hand from the inherent risk of a fast moving bowstring but at what cost?
Most manufacturers lower the forearm drastically, placing shooter in an unnatural and uncomfortable position. Next they build in wide, heavy flanges which interfere with accurate cocking. Usually, these flanges only provide protection for a portion of the strings travel path.
The CAMX way – is the Thumbsaver™.
The CAMX Thumbsaver™ difference is that it protects the shooter for the full travel path of the string. The Thumbsaver™ design allows the shooter to place the front hand wherever the shot dictates, back or front, silhouette or "shotgun" style. Hunting situations require flexibility and the Thumbsaver™ delivers complete protection without restriction.
Next, the Thumbsaver™ folds flat against the barrel to allow perfect, precision cocking of the bow by hand or with the use of a rope cocking aid. When cocking is complete, the Thumbsaver™ springs back to its permanent position of protection.
Its unique red color with permanent warnings continually remind the shooter to keep their thumbs and fingers below the travel path of the bowstring.
The revolutionary Thumbsaver™ not only protects you better, it keeps the fit, feel and comfort in your shooting.


President Donald Trump slammed the Russia investigation and the media Saturday, calling on the US Justice Department (DOJ) to disclose who paid for the unsubstantiated dossier after Fusion GPS officials invoked the Fifth Amendment before Congress.
Keep hearing about "tiny" amount of money spent on Facebook ads. What about the billions of dollars of Fake News on CNN, ABC, NBC & CBS?
The Fusion GPS officials, co-founder Peter Fritsch and top deputy Thomas Catan, invoked their rights before the House Intelligence Committee last Wednesday.
Messrs Fritsch and Catan took the Fifth on every Question posed by committee members in the classified session.
They had been subpoenaed to appear before the panel, and Fusion's other co-founder, Glenn Simpson, has been summoned to appear at a later date.
Regarding the Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) Tweet, it was reported last month that officials at the social networking site told Congress that a Russian "troll farm" had spent $100,000 in ads during last year's campaign.
The report noted that "the ad spending from Russia is tiny relative to overall campaign costs," according to Facebook officials.
President Trump has long slammed the "fake news" media for its coverage of his administration, including his post Saturday that the press ignored the record highs Wall Street posted Friday.
On Friday, President Trump Tweeted "thank you" to news commentator Gerald Rivera after he charged that "anything he does is construed in the worst possible light as evil" by the press.

Recruiter Hays hit by Brexit, French strikes and Australian bushfires
By Simon Neville, PA City Editor
Strikes in France, political uncertainty in the UK, a slowing German economy and the Australian bushfires all took their toll on recruiter Hays, as the company issued a profit warning.
Bosses at the firm said they expect to see profits in the first half of the year fall to around £100 million, compared with £124 million last year.
Chief executive Alistair Cox said: "Growth slowed markedly in December, driven by specific events in key markets: general strikes in France, tragic
Australian bushfires and the UK election.
"Each event impacted markets already facing challenging economic conditions and low business confidence."
Around 45% of all fees made by Hays come through those three countries.
He added: "Overall, we expect near-term macro conditions to remain difficult, but see continued opportunities for growth in key specialisms like IT."
Shares in the group fell 3%, down 5.5p to 167.1p by lunchtime on Thursday.
In the UK, fee growth fell 4% year-on-year in the three months to December 31, with the private sector suffering most.
Fees from recruiting for permanent jobs was particularly hard hit in the UK, with a 7% fall, compared with a 1% decline for temporary position.
Companies have been holding off making large scale investments and employment drives, particularly in the UK as Brexit reached a crescendo last year.
But Mr Cox said he hoped the general election could "provide impetus over time" to the market to regain some confidence.
In Germany, Hays' biggest market, fees fell 9% with the manufacturing sector slowing.
The company added that the stagnation is filtering through to financial and services sectors.
Total fees fell 4% overall, helped by stronger growth in the US.

AUC in the 21st Century: new analysis of Ole Lamm
At the start of the 21st century, arguably the most important development related to AUC was more about the math than the science of sedimentation velocity experiments.
While Svedberg gets the lion's share of the credit for building the first analytical ultracentrifuge, the person most responsible for devising a way to analyze sedimentation velocity data was a Ph.D. student of Svedberg's from Gothenburg, Sweden.
His name was Ole Albert Lamm.
In 1929, he deduced a general equation describing the behavior of the moving boundary in an ultracentrifugal field. More specifically, his equation, which would later be named for him, described the concentration distribution of solutes resulting from sedimentation and diffusion under ultracentrifugation in typical sector-shaped cells.
Thanks to Lamm, sedimentation analysis could be described using a single (differential) equation. Unfortunately, the Lamm equation cannot be solved directly in the general case. The exact solution is an infinite series of integrals, which can be computed only by numerical integration.
Ole Albert Lamm
Since deduction of the Lamm equation in 1929 and for most of the 20th century, the lack of an explicit analytical solution hindered sedimentation velocity (SV) analysis and limited experimental configurations.4
As AUC use increased, however, the Lamm equation was solved analytically—for specific limiting cases—by scientists such as Hilding Faxén, W.J. Archibald and, most recently, by Hiroshi Fujita. But by the arrival of "Y2K," we were well into The Computer Age—an era Svedberg and Lamm could have only imagined.
Computers were no longer the size of refrigerators. "Personal computers" were becoming as prevalent as television sets in homes around the world. And with the introduction of software that enabled use of direct fitting of the Lamm equation for SV data analysis,15 the massive potential of the Lamm equation could finally be realized.
One such software program was SEDFIT, developed by Peter Schuck and his colleagues, which could quickly and rigorously generate solutions of the Lamm equation to fit SV data.16
Along with other programs, SEDFIT spawned new experimental strategies and applications,4 and enabled detection, quantification and characterization of minute quantities of solution contaminants.16
Earlier analysis methods were problematic when working with extremely small molecules (molar weight < 3,000) and extremely large molecules (molar weight > 10,000,000). The introduction of these new software programs eliminated both these limitations, making it possible, for instance, to obtain useful information on the association of small peptides and on the heterogeneity and aggregation of viruses.
Only a few years later, some of the newer AUC software solutions were able to analyze the combined data from several experiments, including data acquired using different first-principle methods. In addition, other programs based on thermodynamic first principles were available for analyzing sedimentation equilibrium (SE) data.17,18
AUC and Biopharma Research
During the first two decades of the current century, AUC has proven useful for many new applications and industries (e.g., nanoproducts, such as those used in cosmetics and biologically inert contrast agents).19
But one of the most important and far-reaching uses of AUC has been in the growing field of biopharmaceuticals.
In combination with new analytical software programs, AUC has become a powerful tool for helping biopharmaceutical scientists assess a drug's total level of aggregation, characterize its heterogeneity and consistency of the higher order structure of its monomeric form, and measure its biophysical properties in solution.11
Not only can it provide independent information about quantity and size distribution of aggregates in biopharma samples in the formulation buffer—with virtually no method development—but because it uses different principles from size-exclusion chromatography (SEC), AUC avoids issues that can adversely affect SEC results.
In addition, AUC can provide this information during earlier drug development stages, before a functioning SEC method is even in place. Subsequently, it can help ensure the SEC method used is providing meaningful aggregation information even if the formulation buffer of the sample and the SEC mobile phase differ.11
In terms of particle size, AUC is far more versatile than SEC, so it can be used to characterize biopharmaceuticals ranging from small peptides to large protein particles such as viruses, virus-like particles (VLPS), or nanoparticles used in drug delivery systems for gene therapies.
Many of these revolutionary new therapies are focused on conquering some of the most prevalent and lethal forms of cancer, such as those that target the pancreas, breast, colon, lungs and prostate. But that's just the beginning.
Equally exciting, too, is the application of AUC to antibody-based therapies—where it's already considered a gold standard—and to glyco-vaccine and DNA-based therapy systems, as well as macromolecular-based therapies for everything from allergies to obesity.20
It's difficult to overemphasize the importance of AUC technology to our modern world.
Today, with the powerful combination of hardware (thanks to Svedberg, Pickels, Beckman and others), and software (thanks to Lamm, Fujita, and later to Schuck and his colleagues), AUC has become an irreplaceable tool for macromolecular research in the 21st century.
Regrettably, Arnold Beckman died in 2004 at age 104, so he was able to see only the first few years of the impact resulting from this powerful merger of engineering and computer programming.
Howard Schachman, however, was able to witness much more of the latest evolution of the technology to which he had devoted most of his career and much of his life. He departed this world at age 97 in 2016.
Coincidentally, that was the same year Beckman Coulter Life Sciences introduced to the world its state-of-the-art analytical ultracentrifuge, the Optima AUC, which Schachman most certainly would have loved.
The Optima AUC: Setting A New Standard
Beckman Coulter Life Sciences recently helped return AUC to the center of protein research and macromolecule characterization by introducing the next-generation Optima AUC.
With faster scanning rates, increased wavelength precision and enhanced data resolution, the Optima AUC can provide scientists with more accurate answers from each run. At rotor speeds up to 60,000 RPM, data acquisition rates on the Optima AUC are almost five times faster than the ProteomeLab XL-A/XL-I, with three times higher radial resolution, so it can generate nearly 15 times more data.
The Optima AUC currently provides absorbance and/or interference optical systems, with the option to install up to three independent, simultaneous detection systems. Unlike the ProteomeLab XL-A/XL-I, however, all system optics are contained outside the rotor chamber, making the Optima AUC easier to maintain.
A 15" (38 cm) touchscreen display indicates the progression of experimental designs. Remote monitoring capabilities let researchers set up, monitor and extract experiment data from virtually any location.
Compatible with the same cells, rotors and software used with the ProteomeLab XL-A/XL-I, the Optima AUC surpasses other features of its forerunner in terms of image resolution and the number of interference fringes it can capture per cell.
We now live in a hyper-connected world. So it's no surprise the new Optima AUC lets researchers monitor their experiments from anywhere in the world that offers internet access.
To be sure, the future of AUC may now be truly without limits.

Tim Lupinacci talks with Law360 about his career and his bankruptcy and restructuring practice, including the issues that are impacting his clients. Mr. Lupinacci notes, "In discussions with financial institution clients over the past year, the issue that keeps them up late at night is the increased regulatory oversight and implementation of Dodd-Frank. As the various regulatory agencies adopt hundreds of new regulations to implement the provisions of the law, financial institutions and others outside the banking world, including broker-dealers, investment advisers, municipal finance professionals, and SEC public companies, have to plan for and react to implementation. For financial institutions, some of the most important changes are yet to come, including regulations governing capital standards, consumer financial protection, mortgage finance reform, debit cards and swaps."
