Apple's new 14-inch MacBook Pro gets its first discount on Amazon
Best Buy also offers a $100 e-gift card for TotalTech members buying the new laptops.

We're already seeing the first discounts on the new 14-inch MacBook Pro, which Apple announced earlier this week. Amazon has the entry-level MacBook Pro with the M2 Pro chip for $50 off ($1,950), and you'll find the same $50 discount on the 16-inch model, too. Meanwhile, Best Buy is tying pre-order discounts to its TotalTech program, offering a $100 voucher for members buying any of the new laptops (including the 16-inch model). Compared to its 2021 counterpart, the updated MacBook Pro has faster speeds and networking with longer battery life. It launches on January 24th.
Apple 14-inch MacBook Pro (M2 Pro, 2023)
Apple's new 14-inch MacBook Pro models feature M2 Pro and M2 Max processors, offering up to 20 percent better performance, faster processing for content creation and improved battery life.
$1,949 at Amazon
Amazon's sale only covers the entry-level (512GB, M2 Pro) 14-inch MacBook Pro in Space Gray. Meanwhile, Best Buy's deal requires a $200 (annual fee) TotalTech membership to receive the $100 e-gift card on any new model. So that deal only makes sense if you're already a subscriber or plan to enjoy the membership's perks (unlimited tech support, discounted installation and 20 percent off AppleCare+) throughout the year.
Despite using the same design, the 2023 MacBook Pro has better processing speed and battery life than its 2021 predecessor. The M2 Pro chip in the entry-level model has 10- or 12-core CPUs with eight high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores, leading to a 20 percent performance boost over its 2021 equivalent. The new laptops can also last up to 22 hours, the longest-ever battery life on a Mac, according to Apple.
Additionally, the updated MacBook Pro supports Wi-Fi 6E with up to twice the connection speeds of the previous generation. (Remember, you'll need a compatible router to enjoy those speeds at home.)

RCMP on P.E.I. warn of fraudulent missing persons posts on social media
RCMP on Prince Edward Island are warning of fraudulent online posts about missing people. Const. Gavin Moore says in many cases, fraudsters want these posts to be shared widely. They then use the posts to begin private conversations with people to try to learn about them and find ways to scam them. "Fraudsters are constantly trying to learn about their victims," he said. "They try to engage with people. They have huge numbers of different scripts, stories, schemes that they can try. And the more

NEW DELHI (Reuters) -Gautam Adani faces a critical day on Monday with his flagship company's $2.5 billion share sale's second day of bidding overshadowed by a $48 billion rout in the Indian billionaire's stocks which was sparked by a U.S. short seller's report.

Adani Group issued a detailed response late on Sunday, saying it complies with all local laws and had made necessary regulatory disclosures.
Quebec Cardinal Marc Ouellet to retire
Quebec Cardinal Marc Ouellet, the head of the Vatican's powerful bishops' office, is retiring as of April 12, the Vatican announced Monday. The Vatican said Pope Francis accepted Ouellet's resignation, due to him having reached the age limit. Ouellet is 78, which is three years past the normal retirement age for bishops.

Nostradamus predicted: "mankind will see itself disappear into the void becoming one with the cosmic consciousness, a home for all souls and hearts on the great ball". We're just messing about. Nostradamus said nothing of the sort. But, he could've? In fact, if he had, it would have been true. The quatrain for social media would've been amazing. Fluffing aside, though, social media is indeed where the vast majority of people reside these days. That is where they spend a lot of their time. That is where they assemble and mingle. That is also where they speak out most, these days. If everyone is on social media in one form or another, why is your business not employing social listening?
Why Create A Social Listening Process?
After all, you could just go all out by hiring a millennial, buying a tool, creating a social listening strategy, and then having him spend time on it. Sounds about right, doesn't it? It shouldn't because it isn't. There is a lot more to social listening than just putting your ears onto a glass attached to a wooden door. Consider it like this.
The vast majority of the first world is on social media once in every few days if not every day. When on social media, what they do is put up content, whether it is in the form of likes and shares or comments. If everyone in the first world is doing that then there will be a lot of stuff that is not useful for your business. Everything will be "noise" as it is called in communication studies.
To sift through this noise and find the right intelligence, facts, or opinions requires a system or a replicable process. Otherwise, you'll just be throwing money at the ocean, expecting to bait a whale of prehistoric proportions. You need to define a social listening process flow to ensure that your listening efforts are useful not only in terms of returns on your investment but also the usefulness of your findings. Let us describe what the simplest form of social listening process looks like.
Social listening is a broad term that is often confused with social monitoring. This could be because of a certain lack of understanding of social listening but, more importantly, this probably occurs because social monitoring is a component of social listening. Social monitoring is possibly the most visible, and easiest to understand, component of the entire social listening process.
The objective of the social monitoring step of the social listening process is to gather data. The data you gather will be essential to various aspects of your business such as customer service, public relations, advertising, marketing, product development, and reputation management. What you're focusing on will also change what type of data you gather.
However, one thing you must remember is that you need to find out more than just what people are saying about you, your products, or your industry. You need to actually find out what people are doing that may have a bearing on you, your products, or your industry. This is the secret of the social monitoring phase of the social listening process. When you only focus on the superficial and the obvious, you don't get any information or intelligence that others don't already have.
There are only two ways with which you can distinguish yourself from your competitors when it comes to social listening. One is to better utilise the intelligence you gather and the other is to gather better intelligence altogether. The second is why social monitoring needs to be paid attention to. Different metrics align with different goals and objectives. Therefore, the key to getting the right kind of data in the social monitoring phase is to focus on the right metrics.
The importance of social media cannot be ignored or neglected. The numbers are all in favour of businesses focusing on social media and trying to get their target audiences to engage with them. For example, studies from Nielsen have shown that 9 out of 10 people trust the brand if it is recommended by someone they know. Here's the step before it. Nearly 80 percent of people say that when they start following a brand or business on Twitter, they also recommend it to their followers, per Chadwick Martin Bailey. Here's the real clincher though. According to Hubspot, more than 70 percent of people buy things, once they get a recommendation from someone they know.
How do you get followers and then get them to do these things, then? You talk their language. How do you know what language to talk? You do it by putting in place an effective social listening process. The second stage of your process should revolve around evaluating the data you've gathered to get rid of the chaff and home in on the kernel. This seems simpler than it actually is simply because of the quantum of data you'll have to navigate through. However, this is precisely where your social listening analyst and marketing strategist will earn their keep. There's a fortune to be made for businesses that can utilise social media properly.
The previous phase of the social listening process will result in key findings concerning various things. These could include anything from where your products lack from the perspective of your customers to what kind of brands they want to be associated with. However, knowing that your customers have certain tendencies and preferences means nothing unless you do something to translate that tendency to love for your brand, product, and business.
Imagine that your social listening efforts yield the intelligence that your audience has a soft spot for charities and social causes. This intangible intelligence can be turned into an actionable advantage for your brand against your competitors. All you need to do is associate yourself with one or more charities and your audience will get even more enamoured with you. In the same vein, you can find improvements to your products, to your customer service, to your marketing campaigns, and anything else pertaining to your business.
By the third phase of your social listening process, you've figured out what you need to do to get more traction amongst your audience, to increase your sales, to improve your reputation, to boost your likeability etc. However, you still need to implement your findings and test their impact. So, this means that you associate yourself with a charity, make the information public knowledge, and then try to figure out whether it is having the desired effect.
This is the last and final phase of your social listening process i.e. implementation and testing of findings. The reason why this phase is important is that sometimes implementation needs to be handled a certain way for maximum result. For example, even if you get associated with a charity, you won't get any response from your audience unless you take steps to highlight this fact in prominent places. This means releasing articles, blog posts, press releases, videos, and even advertisements to this end.
You need the new information to reach your audience and become associated with your brand to get the right results. You also need to maximise your investment, whether time or money, to get the best response from your audience.

March 6, 2006 There's an RPG in Me
Explosives expert Staff Sgt. Dan Brown. Two surgeons, Major John Oh and Major Kevin Kirk and the whole team at the aid station. Three surgical staff. All did their jobs knowing that, at any instant, the whole team could be vaporized.
Paktika Province is a wild and lawless region in the east of Afghanistan, a border crossroads with the west of Pakistan and home to a number of Taliban and Al Qaeda units. An article from Time magazine describes the U.S. base:
"The U.S. firebase looks like a Wild West cavalry fort, ringed with coils of razor wire. A U.S. flag ripples above the 3-ft.-thick mud walls, and in the watchtower a guard scans the expanse of forested ridges, rising to 9,000 ft., that mark the border. When there's trouble, it usually comes from that direction."
Channing Moss, second from right
The morning of Thursday, March 16, 2006 dawned bright and clear, as a force rode out from the 10th Mountain Division. Their mission was to seek out a remote mountain village, and meet with village elders. They were twenty-four American soldiers in five Humvees and a handful of Afghan National troops, riding a pickup truck.
Paktika is a trackless wilderness of ragged hillsides and wadis, seasonal riverbeds flowing southwest from the mountains of Sar Hawza, to the north. The land appears custom made for an ambush, with dangerous high spots in nearly every direction.
Gunfire broke out from above, some four hours into the mission. First small arms, then came the rocket-propelled grenades. One gunner, twenty-three-year-old Private Channing Moss, remembered it sounded like rattling spoons.
RPGs were soon raining down. The pickup exploded, killing two Afghan soldiers. The rest scrambled to get out of the "kill zone", as three rocket propelled grenades struck Private Moss' Humvee. Staff Sergeant Eric Wynn, 33, felt one slice through his face. Channing Moss, standing with his upper body out of the Humvee, felt something and smelled smoke. He looked down to see it was himself. He was smoking.
RPG ammunition, found on the outskirts of Basra
A rocket propelled grenade is exactly what it sounds like, a weapon roughly the size of a baseball bat, propelled at the speed of a bullet. Standing as he was, Channing Moss had taken one of these things in the hip, leaving nothing but the fins, sticking out of his body. The weapon inside of him was capable of turning everyone in the vehicle into a "pink mist".
What happened next, is beyond belief. When every human instinct says "get the hell away from that thing", Moss had a whole team by his side, throughout the ordeal. Company medic Spc. Jared Angell, 23, working to stabilize that thing for transportation. Lieutenant Billy Mariani came over once the fighting had died down: "I grabbed his hand and I just said, 'Hey, buddy, we're gonna get you out of here.'" Badly wounded himself, Wynn held his own face together while reporting casualties over the radio, and holding Moss' hand.
Private Channing Moss
The MEDEVAC crew arrived escorted by an Apache attack helicopter, they knew what they were dealing with. Army regulations say it's too dangerous to carry such a human bomb. It could take out every man on the chopper and blow the bird out of the sky: four MEDEVAC crew members, and three wounded soldiers.
Pilot CW2 Jorge Correa spoke with his team: "I asked my crew, you know, 'Are you guys comfortable with this? Because I wasn't gonna put my crew in jeopardy if they weren't comfortable with it." Co-pilot Jeremy Smith recalled the moment: "We all said, 'Yeah, let's get him on board and let's get outta here.'"
It was the same thing, back at the aid station. Explosives expert Staff Sgt. Dan Brown. Two surgeons, Major John Oh and Major Kevin Kirk and the whole team at the aid station. Three surgical staff. All did their jobs knowing that, at any instant, the whole team could be vaporized.
Channing Moss was well beyond the "golden hour" with expectations of survival, growing dim. The man's heart actually stopped and the surgeons administered epinephrine, knowing that physical heart massage could detonate the ordnance still inside the man's body.
Private Moss survived, despite massive injury to his body. There were four more surgeries back at Walter Reed and an endless hell of physical therapy as the man progressed from bed to wheel chair to crutches, to a cane. Moss had a Purple Heart coming and then some and refused to receive it, until he could stand on his own two legs and walk to receive his medal, himself.
Explosives expert Dan Brown spoke for the whole team, I think, in explaining what they had done: "He was American, he was a solider, he was a brother and he was one of us. And there was nothing gonna stop us from doing what we knew what we had to do … We knew we did right. In that screwed up world we did something right."

A Trivial Matter
While rare, unexploded ordnance has been lodged inside living human bodies on no fewer than thirty six occasions between WW2 and the modern era, requiring surgical removal. All but four, survived.

Japan withdraws bid to host Women's World Cup three days before vote
Jun 23, 2020 | The Big Scores | 0 comments
USA won the 2019 edition of the Women's World Cup.
The Japanese Football Association (JFA) has withdrawn its 2023 Women's World Cup bid, three days before a FIFA vote to determine the hosts.
The two candidates left are Colombia and a joint Australia and New Zealand bid, which the JFA will now support in Thursday's vote.
Earlier this month, football's global governing body rated the Trans-Tasman bid as the best, with Japan second.
JFA chairman Kozo Tashima did not rule out another bid in the future.
"We have shown how we could host the tournament in Japan in our bid, so I don't think our efforts were in vain," he said.
After the postponement of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, the JFA felt it unlikely one country would be awarded two major women's football tournaments back-to-back.
The 2019 Women's World Cup, hosted by France, was the tournament's biggest edition yet, breaking television audience records. (BBC Sport)

New Management at the Quebec Musicians' Guild
by Réjean Beaucage / October 10, 2003
Gérard Masse has been president of the Quebec Musicians' Guild since March 2, 2003, when he received 926 votes in the organization's leadership elections and defeated the incumbent president, Émile Subirana, who received 328 votes. (Subirana was the subject of much discussion in connection with the Dutoit Affair. His "hostile declarations" were, according to Dutoit, largely responsible for his resignation in April 2002 as artistic director of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra.)
Gérard Masse started out as a percussionist at the age of 14. By 1970, his interest in defending the rights of musicians, which grew naturally from years of playing in rock, jazz and orchestral groups, led to a position on the Board of Directors for the Quebec City chapter of the Guild. Recently, La Scena Musicale spoke with him to learn more about the organization.
So what exactly is the Musicians' Guild?
As the name suggests, the Guild is an association of artists who have united to preserve or improve their working conditions. In other words, it's a union recognized by the laws governing trade unions, and we are certified as the sole representative for musicians in Quebec. This means that we represent all Quebec musicians, whether or not they are members of the Guild. But members benefit from a greater number of services.
The Guild is a local chapter (#406) of the American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada, which is over 100 years old. There are about 30 locals in Canada and a little more than 100 in the USA. So we are one link in a union organization that represents the interests of nearly 100,000 musicians in North America. This group does not include singers, however, because the Artists' Union represents them.
Often, young musicians just starting their careers need information and guidance, but they're afraid to contact the Guild. They think they won't be welcome because they aren't members. It's not just lack of awareness. I think some of the fault lies with us, too, if information isn't reaching all those concerned. The law stipulates that we represent them too and so we're happy to have them come by the office to get information. In this respect, things have improved recently at the Guild. It was a serious error on our part if non-members were regarded differently in the past. Since 1988, it's been clear that, legally-speaking, we represent all Quebec musicians. Ever since the new team moved in we've been trying to increase the number of school visits, explaining to students and teachers what it is that we do.
When should you become a member?
Well, when it's time! When there's somebody offering you work, when you're on the verge of establishing yourself as a serious artist and want to learn more about the working conditions of musicians, or when you feel in need of an organization to represent you, then it's time to think about joining the Guild. If someone is going to perform in a major festival, he or she has pretty well reached the level where membership is a good idea. It can help you avoid having to pay for temporary work permits, since after a certain point you can expect to be booked regularly. But we've made some changes on how work permits are managed. They used to be valid for a period of three months. Now they're good for a six-month period, and the idea of extending them even more is under discussion. This way, someone who doesn't work in many concerts can make use of a temporary permit. It costs $175 to become a member, which you pay at the start, and then the annual fee is $180. Of course, most of these costs are tax-deductible as union dues.
The Guild has been the subject of a lot of talk over the perceived strictness of its attitude towards young musicians who perform in small venues or bars.
Obviously some areas of the music world are organized better than others. In classical music, the rates are clear for whatever type of activity is involved, whether it's rehearsing, recording or performing in concert. In the bars, however, it's pretty well anything goes, depending on who the managers are. Some owners of small venues have no agreement with the Guild but still pay the musicians very well. Others pay them very little or nothing. And some even make the musicians pay for use of the stage. When I was at the Conservatory, around 30 years ago, we paid $40 for a year of study. Nowadays it's a lot more expensive, whatever discipline you follow, so it seems quite unfair to have to pay more afterwards just for the "privilege" of performing. You could say that in this case the Guild's inflexibility has hurt its reputation quite a bit. It's an uphill battle--actually it's more like a mountain than a hill--but we're moving forward nonetheless. One of our committees focusses on emerging musicians and the venues where they perform, and in six months we should have some good results to announce.
The Guild also found itself mixed up in the Dutoit Affair ...
It was a pretty gloomy period for the Guild. But people should remember that conflicts like this happen in all kinds of organizations, at any given moment. When things come to such a sticky end, it's usually because of errors in management. I think as adults we should know that when the tension is extreme, you have to pause and step back before continuing a disagreement. Around the same time we had two other crises very much like what happened at the MSO, but in those cases everything was settled in the end because everyone was willing to compromise. In this case we were given yet another reminder that our mission is to represent everyone. Mr. Dutoit was a member of the Guild, and, according to our regulations, no member has the right to denigrate another member, no matter what the difference in rank. So, during rehearsals at the MSO, musicians should behave cordially with each other as members of the same union. And it's up to us to protect the interests of rank-and-file musicians as well as those of the conductor. We have to make sure we don't lose track of that. [Translated by Tim Brierley]
Like other Canadian societies that defend the rights of artists (the Saskatoon Musicians' Association, the Vancouver Musicians' Association, etc.), the Quebec Musicians' Guild negotiates the basic rates to be paid to its members in exchange for their services. This responsibility is a crucial one, but the Guild's activities and services extend much further. The Guild provides standard contracts for various types of musical employment and offers legal aid to musicians when problems occur. Members also benefit from pension and vacation funds managed by the Guild. For each contracted musician, employers contribute 7_10% of the basic talent fee to the pension fund, depending on the type of contract, and 4% to the vacation fund. The Guild also provides basic life insurance and group insurance (income, accidents, illness, dental plan, etc.), enjoys reduced rates with many suppliers (car rentals, hotel rooms, various products), and offers counselling services in relation to all aspects of a musician's life. www.guildedesmusiciens.com and www.afm.org

Making the Case for John McCain
by Renita Burns October 27, 2008 655
McCain's record in opposing out-of-control spending. It's one of the main reasons the Bush administration and many fellow Republicans have frequently considered McCain a pain in the pork barrel.
The Elko (Nev.) Daily Free Press: Both men have been shirking their duties in Washington to campaign for a post no one in their right mind would want considering the current financial climate. And neither man displayed the capability of steering us around the economic iceberg ahead when they traveled back to D.C. to address the Wall Street bailout. We have chosen to ignore the theatrics and endorse the man behind the mask, the John McCain who stands up to wasteful spending and isn't afraid to break through party lines to get the job done. (Oct. 24)
The Cincinnati Enquirer: McCain offers up his compelling biography as a war hero, his admirable candor and his centrist independence in an increasingly polarized political environment. A McCain administration would chart a wiser course on the economy than one led by his Democratic opponent, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. McCain's campaign has recently found a sharp focus on economic and tax issues, allowing voters to draw clear distinctions with policies Obama would pursue. (Oct. 25)
The Arizona Republic: Nowhere else in the country do voters know John McCain like Arizonans know John McCain. Even McCain mischaracterizes his noble willingness to stand up and stand alone. He contends it is the "maverick" in him. Well, he's wrong about that. It is the leader in him. (Oct. 25)
The Dallas Morning News: The Democrat talks about change, but only the Republican has made change happen. Only one candidate has a solid record of standing up to his own party on principle and working hand in hand with legislators from the opposing party to get things done. That candidate is John McCain, a progressive conservative we recommend. (Oct. 18)
The Tampa Tribune: McCain brings a lifetime of useful experience, including his grueling captivity in Vietnam and long Senate service. He believes in federalism, a strong defense and disciplined self-interest. (Oct. 17)
The Las Vegas Review-Journal: He has been an outspoken advocate for fiscal restraint, angering many of his colleagues by embarrassing them over their penchant for pork. Sen. McCain vows to veto any bill that includes earmarks and says he will freeze spending in many areas of the budget. (Oct. 19)
The Desert Sun (Calif.): An Obama presidency would coincide with Democratic control of both houses of Congress, meaning unfettered control of federal policy by the Democrats for at least the next two years. That is not what's best for the country. The American people have shown election after election that they want a balanced government. (Oct. 26)
The Napa Valley (Calif.) Register: McCain has put country first, literally and figuratively, all his life. A decorated combat veteran who spent nearly six years

Osteopathic Physicians, also known as Doctors of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), diagnose and treat all illnesses and injuries and many specialize in treating back pain.
The distinguishing characteristics of osteopathic medicine include its focus on treating the whole body (as opposed to specific symptoms or illnesses) and its focus on the musculoskeletal system as one of the key elements to overall health and well-being. Conservative (non-surgical) treatment commonly includes osteopathic manipulative therapy (OMT), medications, and all other accepted therapies when needed.
There are currently 19 medical schools of osteopathic medicine recognized by the U.S. Department of Education.
State medical board examinations exist in all 50 state and must be passed for a license to practice osteopathic medicine and prescribe medication.
Specialty boards provide standards and licensing for performing surgery.
Practice takes place in fully accredited and licensed hospitals, medical centers, clinics, and private practice settings.
A career path towards medical research exists.


Aug. 17--For those extroverted kids, going back to school can be exciting: tons of friends to see again. New ones to make. Things to look forward to, such as school events, hanging out before and after school, and the cafeteria at lunch.
For those kids who are naturally introverted, socially awkward, on the autism spectrum, anxious, shy or whatever label you like, it can be very stressful.
Cheryl Perera is a licensed clinical social worker for Baylor Scott & White Outpatient Mental Health in Round Rock and the mother of two such children herself. First, she wants kids to know that it's OK to be an introvert. It's OK to be anxious about returning to school. It's OK to feel awkward. Parents should honor kids' feelings and invite them to continue to share their feelings.
Model how to communicate. Give kids strategies for what to do when meeting someone new. Some tips she shares are to pay a compliment to the other person or ask a question about what they like to do to help find some common ground.
Give kids talking points. Have them figure out their hobbies or interests so they have something to talk to other kids about.
Be supportive, but not a "fixer." If they have a rough day, sympathize with them, then ask open-ended questions to get them talking. Ask them what they think they could do differently the next day and have them come up with their own ideas.
Honor their feelings and invite them to continue to share their feelings with you. You can share a time when you felt awkward or nervous.
Have a 504 plan or an individualized education plan if you need it. Things such as autism and anxiety can qualify a child for special services. Schools often have social emotional learning classes for kids who struggle with talking to their peers.
Have an emotional safety plan. Help them anticipate what could happen with friendships and what their responses will be. Give them strategies for what happens when they are feeling anxious or overwhelmed. Where will they go? What will they do? Which adult will help them?
Find a supportive other adult. For kids, they might need a psychologist to talk to, but they also could have a trusted teacher, scout leader or parent of a friend to talk to as well.
Go to orientation or Meet the Teacher. It's a relaxed setting for kids to make connections before school starts.
Sign up for activities. If they can start before the school year begins, it can give kids a chance to start interacting and slowly build relationships before school is "on" and they have to sit at the lunch table.
Have a party and invite other kids. Make it an active party where the kids are doing something. Communication will happen naturally if they are active.
Hang out in the neighborhood park or pool. Your kids will find other kids who will be at their school. School won't feel so awkward if they've seen some of their peers before.
Prepare for the first day of school. Know that as soon as you leave or as soon as they get on the bus, they probably will be fine. If it's a big transition year like kindergarten or the first day of middle school or high school, know that it often looks worse than it is. Help by packing the backpack and lunch the night before and picking out what to wear.

The stimulation of steroidogenesis by adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and adenosine 3'-5' monophosphate (cyclic-AMP) was investigated in in vitro systems. Temperature is one of the most important elements for cell culture and affects various biological cell functions. In this study, the effects of various temperatures (32-43°C) on the stimulation of steroidogenesis by ACTH and cyclic AMP in the murine adrenal tumor cell (Y-1) were investigated. After Y-1 cells were cultured at 32-43°C for 48 hours, most of the population survived. Y-1 was insensitive to high temperature during 48 hours. When cells were incubated at 32°C, steroids in the medium could not be detected, but at 33-39°C, steroid amounts increased linearly with increasing temperature. At 41°C or higher, steroid secretion decreased drastically. Although the stimulation of steroidogenesis by ACTH was accelerated sharply at 33°C, stimulation by cyclic AMP may be gradually increased until 39°C. These data suggest that this may be caused by different action sites of ACTH and cyclic AMP. More studies indicated that ACTH binds to the plasma membrane and activated adenyl cyclase, but cyclic AMP function required binding to the specific cytosol receptor.

Willmott Dixon commits to planting 100,000 trees over the next decade
by Natalie Hunt | Sep 27, 2021 | Champions - News
Willmott Dixon has pledged to plant 10,000 trees a year over the next decade as part of its ambition to deliver environmental net gain, through its industry-leading sustainability strategy, Now or Never. Our decisive decade.
The approach will see both Willmott Dixon's Construction and Interiors businesses work in partnership with a range of charities, social enterprises and community groups and conservationists, located close to their construction projects and offices. The novel approach will focus on delivering environmental and wellbeing benefits, rather than solely the carbon benefits of tree planting.
Within its Construction business, the company's London and South team are supporting the National Trust to plant 1,200 trees at Coopers Hill woodland in Egham, Surrey. Coopers Hill is a Site of Special Scientific Interest, with many of the existing tree population being Ash, meaning the local ecosystem is suffering from Ash Dieback fungus.
In the North the company is also partnering with the National Trust to support tree planting by the River Aire, to increase the extent of the woodland and mitigate flooding.
In the company's Wales and West region, a partnership with Wanderlands will see 2,500 trees planted over the winter. The woodland, which will be accessible via a new walking trail, is mostly native broadleaf species, allowing for regeneration and restoration of biodiversity. Local schools will be involved with the design, which will incorporate a new outdoor educational space for students to enjoy.
In the Midlands, the company is working with the Woodland Trust to plant over 2,800 trees. These trees will be planted throughout Nottingham alongside the banks of the River Trent to help alleviate flooding and adapt to climate change, in conjunction with Trent Rivers Trust.
Finally, Willmott Dixon Interiors will partner with The Conservation Volunteers to plant a minimum of 3,084 trees across London, the Midlands and Leeds. Working with schools, hospitals and grassroots organisations the aim is to improve the environment for occupiers of these spaces.
Julia Barrett, chief sustainability officer at Willmott Dixon said: "We are delighted to finalise our 2021 programme of tree planting, which is a wonderful and positive legacy for the communities we work in.
"Delivering environmental net gain is critical to our projects, meaning we will leave the environment in a measurably better state than before, by providing valuable habitats to enhance biodiversity, through reducing flooding, and improving air quality. This also helps customers and their local communities by increasing their access to nature, which can measurably improve health and wellbeing."
The planting of 100,000 trees by the close of 2030 is just one of many commitments outlined in Willmott Dixon's 2030 Now or Never sustainability strategy, launched one year ago. The strategy commits to some of the most challenging science-based targets in the industry.
To celebrate the anniversary of the launch of Now or Never, Willmott Dixon is hosting a free webinar 'Climate Change: Running Out of Time', discussing the next steps the construction industry needs to take to address the climate emergency. Taking place on Wednesday 29 September from 2-3pm, its sustainability team will be joined by renowned author and campaigner Jonathon Porritt, with panellists from Skanska and Exeter Living in a discussion chaired by Nick Molho of the Aldersgate Group.

Murder on Amsterdam Avenue by Victoria Thompson
Berkley Hardcover May 5, 2015 - Soft Cover May 3, 2016
In this Gaslight Mystery from the national bestselling author of Murder in Murray Hill, midwife Sarah Brandt and Detective Sergeant Frank Malloy investigate foul play in the secretive high-society world of nineteenth-century New York City…
In the midst of Sarah and Frank's wedding preparations, Sarah accompanies her mother on a condolence call to the Upper West Side, where Charles Fairfax, the son of family friends, has died unexpectedly after suffering from a mysterious disease. It is a tragic and all too common story—or so it seems. Charles's father asks to speak with Sarah privately. He believes his son was poisoned and would like Sarah and Frank to look into the matter with the utmost discretion.
Putting their own personal affairs on hold, Sarah and Frank soon learn that not everyone wants to know more about Charles's death, particularly if he was murdered. As they unravel secrets that reach back to the War Between the States, they also discover that they are in the company of a very present danger…
Murder on Amsterdam Avenue was nominated for an Agatha Award®

Thanks for all the hard work you do, whether you're spinning stories or press releases, whether you are organizing launches or punctuation marks.
Thanks, also, for dropping by B.I.P. and spending some time. If you've been hanging around here long enough to determine that there's a match to be made between B.I.P. and a specific book, then you probably want a few more details.
Any work that I have ever agreed to accept has been covered on B.I.P. (and if there's something you think I've missed, check here).
If you are organizing a tour, I am more likely to say 'yes' if dates are organized more than 4 weeks in advance, participants are provided with a schedule and links to other sites in advance of the tour's launch, and if the other participants are more interested in discussing books than copying a GoodReads summary.
But sometimes I even say 'no' when you've gone to the trouble of checking the Books Discussed page to see if our reading tastes align and all the elements are in place. Sometimes I am simply over-booked.
What happens if I agree to accept a work?
Feature reviews here average 800 words, rooted in the full experience of a work's structure, language, style and themes. They include an average of 4 relevant (and spoiler-free) quotes from the narrative, so that the work has an opportunity to speak for itself as well. The books are discussed in a variety of places online and favourites are actively promoted in social media. Links to an author's page/publisher's page are often included (see below).
Neither reviews nor commentary will be posted to Amazon or its affiliates. Nor will links to purchase from big-box retailers be shared. The review will not include much of a content summary; I am spoiler-phobic and readers can find summaries elsewhere online.
I am passionate about books and reading, and I am an opinionated reader; I also understand the writing process and am keen to understand a writer's intent (as I experience it on the page).
Maybe you're looking for this kind of reader, and maybe I'm looking for the book you have in hand.
If you believe there's a match to be made, please share the details.

Maria Carolina Ferdinanda de Austria (8 aprilie 1801 – 22 mai 1832) a fost Arhiducesă de Austria prin naștere și Prințesă Moștenitoare a Saxoniei prin căsătorie.

Biografie
Maria Carolina fost fiica împăratului Francisc al II-lea și a celei de-a doua soții, Maria Teresa a celor Două Sicilii. A fost numită după o soră mai mare care a murit la scurt timp după naștere. Maria Carolina a aparținut Casei de  Habsburg-Lorena. Maria Carolina a fost, de asemenea, de două ori strănepoată a Mariei Terezia a Austriei și de două ori nepoată a Mariei Antoinette, fiind nepoată pe linie paternă a lui Leopold al II-lea, Împărat al Sfântului Imperiu Roman (fiul Mariei Tereza și fratele Mariei Antoaneta) și nepoată pe linie maternă a Maria Carolina a Austriei (fiica Mariei Tereza, sora Mariei Antoaneta).

Sora ei mai mare, Maria Luisa, a devenit împărăteasă a Franței prin căsătoria cu Napoleon Bonaparte. A doua soră, Maria Leopoldina, a devenit împărăteasă a Braziliei prin căsătoria cu Pedro I al Braziliei. Fratele ei mai mare va deveni viitorul împărat Ferdinand I al Austriei.

La 7 octombrie 1819 s-a căsătorit la Dresda, Germania cu Prințul Frederic Augustus de Saxonia, fiul Prințului Maximilian de Saxonia și a Prințesei Caroline de Parma. Mariajul a fost fără urmași și nefericit. Maria Carolina suferea de epilepsie și crizele ei erau atât de frecvente încât abia își putea îndeplini îndatoririle ei de Prințesă Moștenitoare. A murit, după o lungă suferință, la 22 mai 1832, la Palatul Pillnitz, lângă Dresda.

Tag: Cisgender
As a trans person, I've read your question, so I can answer truthfully, "yes, at least one trans person knows you reject 'cisgender'." But that leads me to ask you "am I supposed to care?"
Q: What's wrong with the term "Gender Identity disorder"? What's wrong with being a proud cisgender?
There's nothing wrong with the term itself, except that it's out-of-date.
Q: What is something about the LGTBQ+ community that straight people would struggle the most understanding? Why do cis people get weird about misgendering pets?
What is something about the LGTBQ+ community that straight people would struggle the most understanding? The pervasiveness of cisgender heteronormativity. Being cisgender and heterosexual are presumed to be the default so strongly that when LGBTQ+ people defy those expectations, they are frequently met with hostility and sometimes even violence. How often do you hear someone... Continue Reading →
Passing lane ahead!
A person successfully and convincingly presenting themselves as a cisgender member of a gender they were not assigned at birth is called "passing". Passing is a complicated and controversial topic, partly because of the issues that it raises for both those who can and cannot pass. It's also a philosophical issue, a safety issue, and a social issue (and a variety of other categories).
Just like sex and gender aren't the same thing, neither are gender and gender expression.
Since we don't live in a perfect world, we have gender. And, being humans who like to categorize and make things fit into tidy little boxes, we group and put labels on things.


The medicine belongs to the category of antineoplastic agents which is prescribed for sickle cell anemia, certain types of cancers including chronic myelogenous leukemia, melanoma and squamous cell carcinomas. Also, it is used as an adjunct drug to the antiretroviral therapy for AIDS patients and for psoriasis treatment.
Those taking intermittent therapy are recommended to take one 80mg capsule orally every day. For those taking continuous therapy are advised to administer 20 to 30mg capsule as a single dose every day of the week. The capsule can be taken with or without food. Always get the permission of a specialist before administering the drug.
Bone marrow depression, loss of appetite, mouth ulcer, vomiting, constipation, nausea, skin changes, redness of the skin, rash and skin ulceration are some of the side effects which if become worse should be discussed with a specialist so that to eliminate any further health complications.
The capsules should be stored at room temperature (25°C-30°C) and away from the reach of children.


As a part of the British Empire we, like all others submitting to the Monarch, were referred to as "Colonials". And so long as we were under the protection of Great Britain and bound to her both politically and economically, we held that subservient status.
Sheer circumstance [or, as I personally choose to believe, "The hand of God"] has led me to meet a very wide range of people who have – at one time or another – had an impact on some part of our World.
It is Veterans who made Canada and it is veterans who have given Canada international acceptance and recognition; and yet it is Veterans who are being ignored and all too often dishonoured by our government.


Hey. So in the past hours my dad has ended up in hospital with a suspected heart attack so I'm going to be off grid for a little while. Sorry people are having issues but I'll pick them back up asap. Cheers!
Family first. Hope things work out for the best.

Sam Byrd: From New York Yankees to Pro Golf Champion
After his Major League Baseball career ended, Sam Byrd embarked on a new career as a professional golfer. And he was a pretty good one, winning a half-dozen times on the PGA Tour. He challenged Byron Nelson multiple times in Nelson's record-setting 1945 year, including in the final match of the PGA Championship. And Byrd has the distinction of being the only person who has played in both baseball's World Series and golf's Masters Tournament.
Full name: Samuel Dewey Byrd
Date of birth: October 5, 1906
Place of birth: Bremen, Georgia
Date and place of death: May 11, 1981 in Mesa, Arizona
Nicknames: Sammy, Babe Ruth's Legs
His Biggest Wins
Sam Byrd is credited with six victories on the PGA Tour:
1942 Greater Greensboro Open
1943 Chicago Victory Open
1944 New Orleans Open
1944 Philadelphia Inquirer Open Invitational
1945 Texas Open
1945 Mobile Open
He also won several more pro tournaments that were not part of the PGA Tour, including:
1939 Philadelphia Open
1942 Pennsylvania Open
1944 Michigan Open
1944 Michigan PGA Championship
Byrd In the Majors
Sammy Byrd's best shot at a major championship win was the 1945 PGA Championship, where he advanced to the 36-hole title match against Byron Nelson. Byrd had the best of the morning 18, making four consecutive birdies at the end to take a 2-up lead.
He got the lead to 3-up over the first few holes of the afternoon 18. But from the 5th through 14th holes of the afternoon session, Nelson scored 6-under par to turn the match around. When he won the 29th overall hole, Nelson went 1-up. It was the first of four consecutive holes won by Nelson, which sealed the match. In the end, Nelson beat Byrd by a 4-and-3 score.
It was Nelson's ninth consecutive win on the PGA Tour in his record-setting streak that eventually reached 11 wins in a row.
In Round 1 of match play in the 1945 PGA Championship, Byrd beat Augie Nordone, 4 and 3; in the second round, Johnny Revolta, 2 and 1; in the quarterfinals, Vic Ghezzi, 7 and 6. Revolta and Ghezzi were both previous PGA Championship winners. And in the semifinal, Byrd beat Clarence Doser, again by 7 and 6.
Byrd played in 20 majors overall, with four Top 10 finishes. He was third in the 1941 Masters and fourth in the 1942 Masters. He also had a Round of 16 appearance in the 1944 PGA Championship. His first major played was the 1938 U.S. Open, and last the 1951 U.S. Open.
Byrd's Baseball Career In Brief
Byrd signed his first pro baseball contract in 1926, and got called up to majors in 1929 by the New York Yankees. But when he arrived, the Yankees' outfield consisted of Bob Meusel, Earle Combs, and a fellow named Babe Ruth, considered one of the greatest outfields ever. That left little playing time for Byrd.
And that is what led to Byrd's nickname, "Babe Ruth's Legs." After hitting .312 as a rookie in 170 at-bats, Byrd never got more than 248 at-bats with the Yankees, despite getting into as many as 115 games in New York. That's because he was frequently used as a pinch-runner or late-inning outfield replacement for Ruth. In 1933, for example, got into 85 games but only had 107 at-bats.
Byrd was traded to the Cincinnati Reds in 1935, became a starter, and that year played in the first night game in Major League Baseball history. But he also got injured in that game, and after appearing in only 59 games for the Reds in 1936, when he was 28 years old, Byrd decided to retire from baseball.
For his career, he hit .274 over 744 games, with 101 doubles and 38 home runs. He played for the Yankees in the 1932 World Series, making one appearance as an outfield replacement, but without an at-bat.
More About Sam Byrd's Golf Career
Sam Byrd was born in Georgia, but his family moved to Birmingham, Alabama, when he was very young, and he was much more associated with Alabama over the course of his life.
It was during his baseball career that he became a scratch golfer. Once, in 1930, Bobby Jones' Grand Slam year, the Yankees played an exhibition in Atlanta. Jones requested permission from Yankees manager Joe McCarthy for Byrd, a fellow Georgia native, to join him on the golf course. Using borrowed clubs, Byrd tied Jones at 1-under for the round.
Byrd particularly impressed Jones with his driving, and that remained the strength of his game once he got onto the tour later in the decade. But putting was a weakness, and Byrd often battled the yips on the green.
Once Byrd's baseball career ended, he knew he wanted to start a new career in golf. He began by taking an assistant pro position under Ed Dudley at Philadelphia Country Club in the late 1930s. He also began entering tournaments at that time, and had his first big successes in 1939. Those included a runner-up finish in the PGA Tour's Texas Open, plus a victory in the non-tour Phildelphia Open.
All of Byrd's pro tournament wins happened in the war years of 1942-45, when PGA Tour fields were depleted by golfers serving in the Armed Forces. In addition to tournament play, he participated in challenge matches in the war years as fund-raisers. For example, in 1943 Byrd lost to Jug McSpaden in such an exhibition; in 1944 he had wins over McSpaden, Craig Wood and Byron Nelson.
Byrd's first PGA Tour win was the Greater Greensboro Open in 1942. Other significant victories, in important, if not major championship, tournaments, included the 1943 Chicago Victory National Open and the 1945 Texas Open. In the Texas Open, his winning score of 268 was the tournament record at the time.
In that 1945 Texas Open, the runner-up was Byron Nelson. But Nelson won 18 times total that year. It was Byrd's best year, too, with two PGA Tour wins (the other was the Azalea Open) plus a win in the Michigan PGA Championship. Byrd also finished second five times on the PGA Tour that year, all five times to Nelson. Three of those tournaments were part of Nelson's 11-tournament win streak.
In addition to his six PGA Tour wins, Byrd had 14 second-place finishes on the tour. His last win was in 1945; he posted three runner-up finishes in 1946 but did not challenge again on tour.
Byrd turned 50 in 1956, but there was no Senior Tour at that time. He did play the Senior PGA Championship several times, however, with a best finish of 16th.
Byrd was a popular player with his fellow pros and also with members at the clubs where he worked. Many sought him out for advice, including some celebrities. One of those was John George Vanderbilt Henry Spencer-Churchill, 11th Duke of Marlborough, who was Byrd's partner in the 1947 Seminole Golf Club Pro-Am in Florida. Boxing legend Joe Louis was another famous golfer Byrd assisted.
In 1944, Columbia Pictures released the instructional short Follow Thru with Sam Byrd for theaters. Byrd thought of the baseball swing and golf swing as having the same fundamentals, just on different planes. Famous sportwriter Grantland Rice one suggested that Byrd should write a book about the differences in the two swings. Byrd replied, "That's going to be a very short book."
By the time Byrd stopped winning on tour, he was the head pro at Plum Hollow Golf Club near Detroit. He left that position in 1948 to return home to Alabama. In 1952, Sammy and his brother Curdy (who was also a PGA Professional and spent 37 years as the head pro at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama) began building a driving range in Birmingham.
By 1959, Byrd was building the first nine of 18 holes at his Sam Byrd Golf Center in Birmingham, and his facility had a miniature golf course plus he had added lights to his driving range. He later served as the pro at two other Alabama golf clubs, until retiring from Anniston County Club in Anniston, Alabama, in 1978.
Byrd was 74 years old when he died in 1981. Today he is a member of the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame.

A ruling by a federal district court judge in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia may provide a basis to "blue pencil" noncompetition agreements in Virginia. "Blue penciling" allows a judge to modify an overly-broad non-competition agreement by striking through the portions that violate Virginia law. Thus, in theory, the agreement would reflect the parties' agreement minus the portions that do not conform to the law. So rather than courts grading on a pass/fail basis, they can award partial credit.
In Senture, LLC v. Dietrich, et al., 575 F. Supp.2d 724 (E.D. Va. 2008), Judge Doumar rejected a former employee's argument that the application of Kentucky law to the non-competition agreement was contrary to Virginia public policy. In this case, the non-competition agreement included a Kentucky choice of law provision. Judge Doumar held that there was no public policy preventing the application of Kentucky law. Under the Senture ruling, it may be possible for an employer to adopt the law of a state other than Virginia—such as the law of a state which expressly permits "blue penciling" non-competition agreements.
It is well-known to practitioners in Virginia that the courts in the Commonwealth have taken an increasingly strict construction of non-competition agreements. Consequently, it has become more challenging for employers to enforce such agreements unless the non-compete is carefully tailored. Employers are also challenged because overly broad noncompete clauses are thrown out by the courts.
Although the Virginia Supreme Court has never expressly rejected the "blue pencil" doctrine, the Commonwealth's courts have routinely refused to blue pencil non-competition agreements.
Although Judge Doumar's decision did not deal directly with whether a Virginia court would apply another state's "blue pencil" policy in the event the choice of law jurisdiction permits "blue penciling," employers in Virginia may consider including a choice of law clause designating the application of another state's law to their non-competes. Just remember, it is usually required that the parties have some relationship with the state designated in the choice of law provision. For companies that do business in multiple states, the Senture decision may all those companies to choose which state law to apply to their employee agreements.

Editing and Proofreading Services - Business Language Services Ltd.
Editing or proofreading – is there a difference?
– Editing mainly focuses on making changes so that a document is structured better, easier to read and more suitable for the target audience. This will normally involve reviewing the overall structure, style, clarity, readability and style.
– Proofreading typically focuses on correcting errors in spelling, grammar, syntax, punctuation and formatting. This stage normally occurs at the end of the writing process as a final step.
Why are both of these stages important?
Only by carrying out thorough editing and proofreading processes can you be sure that your final translation meets the standards you require. Errors in translation can be commercially costly, cause disastrous misunderstandings, delays and much worse – lawsuits! A simple mistake may have huge implications, which could easily be avoided by these additional steps. It's right to be proud of what you do, so make sure that your company literature doesn't let you down.
At Business Language Services, editing and proofreading are essential components of the whole translation process. With the skill of at least two linguists, not one, you can be confident that they will achieve something that no machine could ever accomplish: a quality-focused, accurate and clear translation in which you can have full confidence.
At Business Language Services, we pride ourselves on the fact that we only ever rely on human translation, and the same process applies with our editing and proofreading services. To provide that all-important failsafe, every text that we translate is, therefore, always reviewed by a second, independent linguist.
Any issues that arise during this stage are conveyed to the project manager, who liaises with the translator directly. It may at times be necessary for the translator and reviewer to exchange ideas, in which case the project manager simply facilitates this process. Only after the translation, editing and proofreading processes have been completed, and the customer has had chance to review the work, can the translated content be deemed to be a true and accurate rendition of the source document.
Business Language Services also offers an editing and proofreading service for documents that have been translated previously, just so that you can double-check the accuracy and authenticity of the previous translation. We are also often asked, as part of the customer's quality control management procedures, to carry out this service after a translation has been typeset or extensively formatted, or if the translated content is for a website and has been uploaded by a third-party. These quality checks ensure that no errors have appeared after the document has left the hands of the original translator, editor and proofreader.
At Business Language Services, we are also often asked to review English copy for many companies in different industries to ensure that it is properly edited and proofread. We are often surprised how often we read documents that haven't been checked before being published, distributed or uploaded to a website. As a general practice at BLS, all of our own internal written material is reviewed by a second linguist for accuracy and style; it doesn't matter how competent anyone might be at writing, a review by another linguist is always a crucial step for us.
When we are asked to undertake a monolingual review, a close collaboration is necessary between the customer and the reviewer at BLS; the goal is to provide the best possible final version of the document, and this may often involve important discussions about content, in addition to any implications of stylistic or linguistic changes. Above all, we always recognise that the customer is the real expert in the field, and experience has shown us that it is always more productive when we work closely with the customer.
