A baby who was diagnosed with cancer before she was even born has survived a dangerous operation and a gruelling round of chemotherapy, and has beaten the disease. Doctors spotted a tennis ball sized tumour on Jenna Smith's neck when her mother was 32 weeks pregnant and operated to remove it days after she was born. Now enjoying her first Christmas, the baby's cancer is finally in remission following weeks of chemotherapy. Brave: Baby Jenna Smith, now nine months old, was born with an enormous tumour on her neck . Her mother Lisa, 38, who lives in Penrith with husband Anthony, 38, said: 'It was such a massive shock to us both when we were told that Jenna had this neck cancer. 'She was still inside me and hadn’t even been born yet, yet I was being told that my baby had cancer. It was terrifying. 'When I saw the massive tumour on her neck when she was delivered, I couldn’t believe just how big it was. 'She was such a tiny baby and yet she had this massive tumour on her neck. I just had to pray that she would be able to survive.' Mrs Smith, 38, suffered a heartbreaking miscarriage two years before becoming pregnant with Jenna but her joy soon turned to terror. Cancer: The tumour was spotted when her mother was 32 weeks pregnant and cancer diagnosed after birth . Harrowing: Her parents Mark and Lisa Smith from Penrith feared their daughter might not survive . 'I was overjoyed that I was pregnant again,' remembers Mrs Smith. I went for my scan at 12 weeks and doctors said there was a good strong heartbeat that that was a relief. 'Then on the 20 week scan everything looked fine too so I was just looking forward to becoming a mum at last.' After developing diabetes during the pregnancy, Mrs Smith had another scan at 32 weeks to make sure her daughter was developing normally - but was horrified when doctors spotted the tumour. ‘We were devastated when we were told what was the matter with our baby,' she says. 'We didn’t know whether she was even going to survive.’ Mrs Smith was referred to the Royal Victoria Infirmary in Newcastle and when her waters broke at 34 weeks in March, she was rushed straight into the operating theatre. The birth proved equally traumatic, with doctors forced to cut a hole in Jenna's throat to insert a breathing tube midway through the delivery. Beating the odds: The little girl had her first operation during birth and another a few days later . All gone: The tumour was successfully removed but baby Jenna had to begin a round of chemotherapy . ‘It was so scary,' remembers her mother. 'They were operating on Jenna literally as she was half way through being born.’ After her birth, the tiny baby was taken straight to the intensive care unit. She had an operation to remove the tumour and initially tests came back showing that it was benign. ‘We were so relieved at first because we were told it wasn’t cancer,' says Mrs Smith. 'We thought we could just take her home and get on with our lives and put all this behind us.’ But a few weeks later, the couple got a call from the hospital to say that further tests had shown that the tumour was cancerous. Jenna, who is now nine months old, had to be taken back into hospital to begin months of gruelling chemotherapy treatment to stop the cancer spreading. Survivor: The nine-month-old girl has beaten off the disease and celebrated her first Christmas last week . Happy: Despite the chemotherapy, Jenna's mother says she remains a happy and smiling baby . She has scans once a month at the hospital to check her progress. ‘She has been tired and exhausted with the chemotherapy treatment,' says her mother. 'But in-between her chemotherapy she is still a happy and smiling baby.’ With just two more weeks of chemotherapy treatment to go, the future looks brighter and there is no sign of the tumour returning. ’We are very proud of her,' added Mrs Smith. 'Luckily when she grows up, she will be too young to remember everything that she has been through. ‘We will tell her when she’s old enough about how lucky she has been - to survive being born with cancer.’

Lexie Grey The character's focal storyline involved a romantic relationship with plastic surgeon Mark Sloan (Eric Dane). She sustained life-threatening injuries after an aviation accident, in the eighth-season finale, which ultimately ended in her death. The character's death resulted in mixed critical feedback and the reason given for the departure was Leigh's desire to spend more time with her family. Rhimes has characterized Lexie as being a dork, as well as having issues with saying how she feels. Leigh has been moderately well received by critics, and was among the cast to receive a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Drama Series in 2007.

The current price is very very good, not sure how long that will last of course.<br /><br />I was pleased by this cocoa. All 3 varieties were good and compare favorably to other cocoas I have tried. They use coconut oil to add some extra body and flavor.<br /><br />If you do not like artificial sweeteners then yes, you may not like this. If you look at a swiss miss or cocoa packet you will see they are quite large, primarily because of the amount of sugar needed to sweeten it. There is no way to condense this into a K Cup.<br />Therefore they ALL have to use a mix of artificial sweeteners (which are much stronger than sugar volume wise), in order to get it to fit.<br />ALL K-CUP sweetened beverages will have this! NO EXCEPTIONS. This is just the way KCups work and while some mixes may be more palatable than others, they all use concentrated sweeteners. Stevia is natural but still not allowed as an additive to food as far as I know. So no kcups will use it.

I agree with @ElendilTheTall. Coconut milk and such based products do not have a long fresh shelf life. Personally, I would discard and not take the risk. That said, I don't know where you are located and what standard practices apply. In a lot of cases common sense can apply as to how to handle.

By . Rachel Quigley . Last updated at 3:09 PM on 31st January 2012 . Would-be presidential assassin John Hinckley Jnr has engaged in 'risky' relationships with married and psychotic women and may still pose a risk to society, according to a psychiatrist who is an expert in risk assessment for assassins. Hearings to determine whether Hinckley should be allowed more free time outside of St Elizabeth's Hospital to visit his elderly mother in Williamsburg, Virginia, is entering its tenth day today. The 56-year-old tried to kill President Ronald Reagan in March 1981 outside a Washington hotel to try and impress actress Jodie Foster. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity and has been in mental hospital ever since. Risk: John Hinckley Jr, shown here in 1987, wants to extend his supervised day trips away from the mental hospital where he has been confined since he tried to assassinate former President Reagan . Chaos: John Hinckley tried to assassinate former U.S. President Ronald Reagan on March 30, 1981 outside the Washington Hilton hotel . Yesterday, Dr Robert Phillips testified that he is . opposed to Hinckley being given more free time from the hospital he has been treated in the last three decades, citing concerns about the risks his . relationships with women may cause. Dr Robert Phillips said that in the 'real relationships' he has formed with women, he has not always shown good judgement. On the mend: Reagan with his wife Nancy at a hospital in Washington as he recovered from the assassination attempt by Hinckley . As well as getting involved with a 'psychotic' patient from the mental hospital - whom he allegedly became physically affectionate with - he tried to begin a relationship with an employee at Eastern State Hospital, a mental facility Hinckley works a few hours a . week when he's in Williamsburg. The woman was married with children. Dr Phillips said his efforts to attract the married woman were 'either fantasy or abject narcissism'. Hinckley has been diagnosed with narcissistic personality disorder. He was also diagnosed as suffering from major depressive and psychotic disorders, but doctors say these are now in remission. Dr Phillips, who is also a medical doctor, is an expert in risk assessment for assassins. The presidential assailant is currently allowed to leave St Elizabeth's Hospital for ten days each month to visit his visiting his mother in a gated community in Williamsburg, Virginia. The hearing is to determine whether the visits can be increased. The latest proposal would allow for two 17-day releases followed by six 24-day releases. Federal prosecutors oppose expanding Hinckley's visits, saying he remains a danger to society. Hinckley shot President Reagan, press . secretary James Brady, Secret Service Agent Timothy McCarthy and police . officer Thomas Delahanty in 1981. All of the men survived the assassination attempt but Brady was left permanently disabled. Better: Hinckley, pictured here in 2003 when he told a federal court that his his mental condition has improved enough that he should be allowed to visit his parents without psychiatric hospital staff supervision . Shooting: Hinckley shot President Reagan, press secretary James Brady, Secret Service Agent Timothy McCarthy and police officer Thomas Delahanty . Reports from the U.S. Secret Service surveillance of Hinckley said he would often visit bookstores when he went to Williamsburg and focused on books about Reagan and assassinations. Though he did not buy the books or even open then, Dr Phillips said this activity indicated a risk factor. He said: 'His target is on this shelf.' Hinckley's defense lawyer argued the shelves at the store he was found to be staring at also contained other books and that he never actually picked any up or bought them but instead bought music books. However the court also heard that he looked at a classical music CD entitled The Dead Kennedys. Dr Phillips, who spent five hours interviewing the would-be assassin last year, will continue testifying today.

NPR's Phillip Martin reports on the continuing controversy over the shortage of minorities on new fall television programs. With black and Hispanic civil rights groups demanding change, network executives are on the defensive this week as they unveil their fall line-ups to tv critics. CBS denied it was part of the problem because of the range of feature minority characters on it's programs. ABC announced it would add five minority characters to some new shows, but said the action was planned even before the protests. NBC issued a statement that called the inclusion of minorities "a top priority". Meanwhile, black and Hispanic civil rights groups are calling for boycotts to force networks to reflect the diversity of their audiences.

A California Energy Commission committee is urging the state to reject a proposal to build a new natural gas plant in Ventura County. Called the Puente Energy project, the 262-megawatt power plant would be owned and operated by NRG, a Houston-based electricity company. NRG contracted with Southern California Edison to supply power to the utility. In what the regulators themselves called an “unusual” statement, the two-member committee said that the proposed plant, set for construction on Mandalay Bay in Oxnard, conflicted with state laws and goals for communities and the environment. “We hereby notify the parties and interested members of the public that we intend to issue a [decision] that recommends denial of the project on the grounds that it creates inconsistencies with LORS [laws, ordinances, regulations or standards] and significant environmental impacts that cannot be mitigated,” Commissioners Janea Scott and Karen Douglas said in their two-page statement. Southern California Edison said in a statement that the Puente project was competitively chosen and is needed to help meet demand when older power plants close by 2021. “It is important to remember that the approval for new resources is a very lengthy and costly process, and it is not practical to continually revisit development decisions, as this can make it more difficult to address reliability needs on the system,” Edison stated. “While there are potential solutions to the needs addressed by the Puente project, it is speculative to assume that preferred resources can be developed on the scale and at the cost needed to competitively replace the Puente project by 2021.” The recommendation sends the final decision about the project to the full energy commission, but the rare statement all but signals that the power plant plan is dead. The recommendation follows Los Angeles Times investigations that showed the state has overbuilt the electricity system, primarily with natural gas plants, and has so much clean energy that it has to shut down some plants while paying other states to take the power California can't use. The overbuilding has added billions of dollars to ratepayers' bills in recent years. Officials in Oxnard, along with state lawmakers who represent the area, have called for clean energy alternatives to the plant. And residents flooded the energy commission with hundreds of emails for days throughout the summer, pressing regulators to reject the project. California has a mandate that 50% of the state’s electricity come from clean energy sources by 2030. Some lawmakers want to increase the mandate to 100%. In August, the California Independent System Operator, which manages the state’s electric grid, released a 46-page report detailing that clean energy sources could serve as alternatives to building the natural gas plant. But in its study at the time, Cal-ISO said that the alternatives would cost more than the gas facility. The report by Cal-ISO, which has argued that additional energy resources are needed in the Oxnard area to ensure reliability in the local area, pegged the new plant's cost at $299 million while the three clean-energy alternatives would cost $309 million to $1.1 billion. Some critics said that a request for proposals could yield more competitive prices than the Cal-ISO study. Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer, who had joined the opposition to the plant, said rejection of the natural gas facility is crucial for the Oxnard community, which has a substantial low-income population that has been saddled with polluting production plants. “For decades, corporations have targeted Oxnard as a dumping site, profited from the city’s environmental destruction and left behind hazardous waste and pollution that continues to threaten the health and safety of its residents,” Steyer said. Steyer and others said Californians must continue to support clean energy in the face of the energy industry’s push for more fossil fuels. “California is at a critical and exciting threshold of a clean energy future that will expand clean energy jobs and build healthier communities," said Gladys Limon, executive director of the California Environmental Justice Alliance.

This week we reported on the history of the school backpack, and it got a lot of you talking. If you missed the post, check it out here. It turns out that most backpacks come with a story, and we wanted to hear some of those stories. We asked for pictures of your first, current or favorite backpack using the hashtag #nprbackpack. Here are some of our favorites: Some backpacks double as travelogues: Other backpacks represent personal timelines: All backpacks seem to represent their owner. Almost like an extension of their personality: Also, the classic "off to school" shot: And we even got a short lesson on the history of school backpacks in Sweden: On Facebook some of you tried to one-up my editor Steve Drummond with your own "in my day" experiences: "No one used backpacks in later years (I'm 68), but in elementary school, when I rode a bike to school, I used an olive drab WWII surplus backpack, from my father, I think. He later told me it was actually the pack a paratrooper wore strapped to his front." - Marion Moïse, on Facebook "Was recently telling my kids that if a boy liked you, he'd carry your books (I graduated from high school in 1986)!" - Kim Hallemann Crank, on Facebook "We didn't use backpacks when I went to school. We carried our books on the backs of dinosaurs." - Eileen Noel, on Facebook And a certain debate emerged in our comment section about whether you were a "one-strapper" or "two-strapper": "Do you wear it over both shoulders or just swing it over one?" - Thorfinn Skullsplitter, NPR.org "I graduated HS in 1979, and used a backpack from middle school on. We would NEVER have put it on our backs - the cool way to wear it was slung over one shoulder. The only exception was while you were riding your bike, as long as said bike was a fancy 10-speed with the 'ram's horns' handlebars." - mayya, NPR.org "I think the two-strap thing came about because more weight was being carried in backpacks, too much to be comfortably carried on one shoulder." - Joseph, NPR.org "Oh, the contemptible double-loopers." - Denise Powers, NPR.org It turns out that Slate even wrote an article about the one-strap/two-strap phenomenon. Check it out here. What inspired the article? A scene from the movie 21 Jump Street, which is definitely worth a look: So, which one are you? One-strap or two?

Awesome product. Comes with everything you need to restore aluminum wheels. I bought a 1972 240Z which had some majorly oxidized slotted mag wheels on it, which included quite a bit of road rash. With this kit I was able to easily restore 3 wheels, and ran out of sanding discs on the fourth. Had I been a little more conservative on the earlier wheels, I'm sure I could have done all 4. However, for the price, I just bought a second kit. The wheels looked totally different when I was done. This kit immediately eliminated all the oxidation and brought the wheels back to a shiny, polished finish. On top of that, I was able to get out some fairly significant road rash. It won't take out major scrapes, but I was surprised as to how much I was able to completely eliminate. You can definitely get the same effect just by buying and using various grit sandpapers and polishing compound, but I think it would probably wind up being more expensive, and certainly less convenient than this kit. I was ready to buy all new wheels but decided to try restoring them myself using this kit and was totally blown away at how well it worked. The difference is night and day.

Abstract The translocase of the outer mitochondrial membrane (TOM complex) is a multi-subunit complex that serves as the general entry site for newly synthesized proteins into the organelle. The assembly of this complex is a multi-step process that requires the coordinated action of several proteins. A central, but rather undefined role in this process is played by Mim1, a mitochondrial outer membrane protein. The deletion of MIM1 leads to severe defects in the biogenesis of TOM complex subunits and to altered mitochondrial morphology. The protein is built from an N-terminal cytosolic domain, a central transmembrane segment, and a C-terminal domain facing the intermembrane space. In this review we summarize our current knowledge on the structure–function relationship of Mim1 and discuss some possibilities for its molecular function.

Yes, treaties refers to the Treaties of Rome (i.e. the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the Treaty Establishing the European Atomic Energy Community). It appears that the extant (and limited) documents referred to were originally treated by the inner six founding nations as any other piece of moderately sensitive information at the time, i.e. to be archived, with limited access on a need to know basis. As open government movements and inter member standardisation took hold, Council Regulation (EEC, Euratom) No 354/83 (in 1983, surprisingly enough) mandated that EU-related documents were to be made available to the general public after 30 years. Subsequent Council regulations formed the Historical Archives of the European Union in Florence to centralise these archives. Such delayed releases of politically sensitive material are not at all unusual, given the privacy concerns and the difficulties of performing complicated negotiations in public. I can't find any specific information on article 267, so it's possible that it's simply the case that no supporting documents exist any more. Note that views on the relationship between the Court of Justice, the Treaty text and supporting material differ. These authors appear to argue the Court intended an "originalist" interpretation, dependent on the original authors intent, which was stymied by the lack of material. Others have suggested the "textualist" interpretation was deliberate.

When an inmate needs to see a medical specialist, getting that care can be complicated. Prisons are often located in rural areas far from medical centers that have experts in cancer, heart and other disease treatments. Even if the visit just involves a trip to a hospital across town, the inmate must be transported under guard, often in shackles. The whole process is expensive for the correctional facility and time-consuming for the patient. Given the challenges, it's no wonder many correctional facilities have embraced telemedicine. They use video conferencing to allow inmates to see medical specialists and psychiatrists without ever leaving the facility. A survey by the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of prison health care in 2011 found that 30 states out of 45 that responded said they used telemedicine for at least one type of specialty or diagnostic service. The participating states reported that telemedicine was most commonly used for psychiatry (62.2 percent) and cardiology (26.6 percent), according to the research, which was published in 2016. Among the corrections facilities offering these services is Rikers Island, which houses nine jails on an island near LaGuardia Airport in New York City. It recently began to provide telehealth services for female inmates who need oncology, rheumatology and hematology services. Other specialties are expected to be added in the future. Male inmates on Rikers have been receiving telehealth services since 2016. Roughly 40 inmates have virtual visits each month with specialists in those same areas as well as infectious disease, urology, dermatology, pulmonology and gastroenterology. "Initially we implemented [telehealth] for the efficiency part, to avoid hours of transport," says Dr. Ross MacDonald, chief medical officer for NYC Health + Hospitals/Correctional Health Services, which runs the health care services at Rikers. "But what we've learned over time is that it really improves clinical care." Telehealth allows the referring physician at the jail to consult with the specialist at the hospital as a team, and together clarify information for the patient, MacDonald says. When the jail's primary care provider identifies a medical concern that requires a specialist's attention, the provider will accompany the patient to the jail's medical clinic and together they'll consult with a specialist at NYC Health + Hospitals/Elmhurst in Queens who is visible on the monitor. If the patient's vital signs need to be checked or if she needs other tests, the primary care provider can handle that and communicate results with the specialist. If after that meeting, a face-to-face exam with the specialist is necessary, that would be scheduled, MacDonald says. "This is not meant to replace in-person visits, it's meant to complement them," he says. Still, some prisoner advocates worry about the increasing use of telemedicine. Khalil Cumberbatch says he's concerned that the video visits may heighten inmates' feelings of isolation. Cumberbatch spent nearly a year on Rikers Island, first as he awaited trial on first-degree robbery charges in the early 2000s and later when he appealed his conviction. He now works as the associate vice president of policy at the Fortune Society, a nonprofit organization that supports efforts to help prisoners re-enter society after incarceration. "You're removing contact with the outside world," he says. "There's a level of engagement that can be lost when you're doing it on the screen." But for sick prisoners, that may not be a priority, others say. "Lots of them don't want to go to the outside facility," says Dr. Edward Levine, the medical director for prison care for Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, which has been doing telemedicine with the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction since 1995. "These people are sick. They have to get on a bus, it's bumpy, and there are delays, and if [they're] not feeling well, they don't like it." Levine estimates he sees up to 150 gastroenterology patients a year at Ohio's 29 prisons through telemedicine visits. "You develop a relationship with them the same as you would if you saw them in a clinic," he says. Although inmates may owe copayments if they see a doctor or nurse for run-of-the-mill aches and pains, they won't generally have to pay for specialty care, whether provided on-site or through telemedicine, says Dr. Anne Spaulding, an epidemiologist and associate professor at Emory University's public health school in Atlanta who has worked as a medical director in corrections. That's because a medical provider typically initiates specialty care. Inmates are more commonly charged for medical visits that they initiate, she says. Telemedicine can improve continuity of care and help patients keep chronic conditions under control. In one study of HIV-infected adults incarcerated at Illinois Department of Corrections facilities, 91 percent of telemedicine patients achieved complete

JORDAN PICKFORD has put the debate about his England credentials to bed once and for all. Pickford found himself at the centre of criticism following England's Group G defeat to Belgium in Kaliningrad last week. The Everton ace was singled out for special attention for letting in Adnan Januzaj's second half winner. Belgium rival Thibaut Courtois broke free from the 'keepers union' to question if Pickford was tall enough, while pundit Gary Neville also questioned his performnace. The stinging attack resulted in England boss Gareth Southgate launching a staunch defence of his keeper. Southgate made it clear Pickford remained his No.1 choice and that he would line-up against Colombia in Tuesday night's crunch last 16 showdown in Moscow. EPA Jordan Pickford: England World Cup hero proved his worth last night GETTY Jordan Pickford was slammed for his effort to save Adnan Januzaj's shot “I have got power and agility. I don't care if I'm not the biggest keeper” Jordan Pickford Pickford repaid his manager's faith in spades with the performance of his career to help the Three Lions win a penalty shoot out and reach the quarter finals. Pickford produced a stunning save in extra time to tip wide Mateus Uribe's effort with what might go down as the stop of the tournament so far. He then proved the difference in the shoot-out, somehow raising a strong hand to block Carlos Bacca's spot kick to enable Eric Dier to fire home the winning strike. EPA Jordan Pickford did the business in the penalty shootout against Colombia Pickford hit back at his critics afterwards and said: "I have got power and agility. I don't care if I'm not the biggest keeper - because it's about being there in the moment and making the save - and I was. "I've been criticised for going with my top hand, but as long as you save it, that's all that counts. I might be young, but I've got good mental strength and experience." The likes of Courtois and Neville have been around the game long enough to know that their opinions were both foolish and knee-jerk. Neville might get paid a fortune to express such opinions on TV, but his knowledge of goalkeeping remains doubtful at best.

Photo: Greg Williams By Jon Wiederhorn Heading into the 2018 GRAMMY nomination season, many expected Ed Sheeran to sweep numerous categories. While he was nominated for two GRAMMYs – Best Pop Solo Performance (“Shape Of You”) and Best Pop Vocal Album (Divide) — Sheeran isn’t on the ballot for the biggest awards, including Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Song of the Year.” Related: Ed Sheeran Trades Beer-Stained Shirt For Niall Horan Hockey Jersey In a recent interview, Sheeran said he wasn’t upset when he found out about the snub; in fact, he believes it was ‘meant to be.’ “There’s a very clear reason why that happened and it’s bigger than me, like much bigger than me. And like it’s just something that, again, it was just meant to be,” he told Billboard. “That is the way that this year was meant to roll out.” Sheeran added that he has everything going for him, and he has received numerous recent honors and accolades, so why complain? “You know, I’m not dying. It’s not like I’m never gonna be nominated for a Grammy again,” he said. “And I was nominated for two GRAMMYs. This is why everything’s meant to be. The week after that, I get an MBE from the palace, I go Number One on Spotify, I go Number One on Billboard. I’m about to have my second ever Billboard Number One. Like, there’s so many other things in the mix that counterbalance it.” “That’s just the way I live my life,” he concluded. “When one door closes, another door opens. You’ll really, really send yourself mental if you think into things too much, and I’m just so easy-going when it comes to that.”

WILLIAMSON, West Virginia — The deadly math in this struggling but proud West Virginia town breaks down like this: For over a decade, two pharmacies just four blocks apart dispensed some 20.8 million prescription painkillers in a town of just 3,191 residents. That’s more than 6,500 prescription painkillers per person in this coal-mining town that sits just across the Tug Fork River from Kentucky. Those jarring figures were released this week by the congressional committee investigating the epidemic that has ravaged the Rust Belt — and the two regional drug wholesalers, Miami-Luken and H.D. Smith, that are accused of swamping Williamson with millions of highly addictive opioid pills. Play Facebook Twitter Embed How the over-prescription of opioids fueled the epidemic in West Virginia 2:06 autoplay autoplay Copy this code to your website or blog The doctors and drug wholesalers are “making a fortune off of our downfall, you know,” recovering addict Wes Thomasson told NBC News on Thursday at a Williamson treatment center. “If you’re trying to figure out how to get rid of the epidemic, trying to figure out how to resolve the problem, start with the prescription,” he said. That’s exactly what the House Energy and Commerce Committee is doing. “These numbers are outrageous, and we will get to the bottom of how this destruction was able to be unleashed across West Virginia,” the committee chairman, Rep. Greg Walden, R-Ore., and ranking member, Rep. Frank Pallone, D-N.J., vowed in a joint statement. A Hatfield-McCoy Trail sign along a railroad track in Williamson, West Virginia on Nov. 11, 2016. Steve Helber / AP file Last year there were 13 fatal drug overdoses in Mingo County, of which Williamson is the county seat, and 711 deaths from drugs in the 54 other counties that make up the state, according to the West Virginia Health Statistics Center. Other recovering addicts, like Deiara Warrix and Mindy Leffe, said that Williamson feels awash with opioids. “If you want it you can get it,” Warrix said. “You go to the pharmacy and you get five prescriptions of it." She added, "It’s just not right, really.” Attorney Mike Troy, who represents Williamson and Mingo County in its legal battle with drug wholesalers, said even he was taken aback by the sheer number of painkillers in the town. "You can't live and breathe and not be shocked by the numbers," Troy said. "But you also can't live in these communities and really be all that amazed when you see how it touches every family, you know? I mean, there's none of us that don't have a family member who's addicted, in treatment, and homeless. It's just all-consuming in these communities." Lawmakers have sent letters to Miami-Luken and H.D. Smith demanding to know why millions of hydrocodone and oxycodone pills were sent from 2006 to 2016 to “five pharmacies in particular” in four tiny West Virginia towns that have a total population of about 22,000. Two of those pharmacies are in Williamson — Tug Valley Pharmacy and the Hurley Drug Company. During the decade in question, each was shipped more than 10 million hydrocodone and oxycodone pills, the letters to the drug wholesalers revealed. Among other things, the lawmakers are seeking to find out whether the drug wholesalers used “any analytic tools” to determine whether the amount of pills they were shipping to the drug stores “was appropriate for a town of 3,191 in a rural region of West Virginia.” In the letter to Miami-Luken, they asked whether the company made any attempt “to understand why the number of pills that it sent to Tug Valley Pharmacy increased by over 350 percent over a single year period from 2008 to 2009.” In the letter to H.D. Smith president J. Christopher Smith, the lawmakers asked why the company supplied the two Williamson pharmacies with “39,000 hydrocodone pills over a two-day period in October 2007.” “If so, were any red flags raised about potentially suspicious orders, and were any suspicious order reports submitted to the DEA?” they wrote. Both companies were given until Feb. 9 to answer their questions. Richard Blake, a lawyer for Miami-Luken, said they are in the process of crafting a response. “We’re cooperating with the committee, we continue to cooperate with the committee,” Blake said. There was no immediate response from H.D. Smith to a request for comment. Tug Valley Pharmacy declined to comment for this story but the Hurley Drug Company called the congressional letters “misleading.” The owner said the family-run business served not just Williamson but also the large surrounding area and insisted that its employees only filled legal prescriptions. In 2016, West Virginia had the nation’s highest fatal drug overdose rate with 52 per 100,000 people, far out pacing Ohio, which had 39.1 fatalities per 100,000 people, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. West Virginia was also one of the states with the highest rates of opioid prescriptions, according to the CDC. Gutierrez and Reiss reported from Williamson, West Virginia. Siemaszko reported from New York City.

A Primitive Baptist hymn singer once said to me that she thought all of the old tunes sung in that tradition came from the Outer Hebrides and other Gaelic-speaking areas of Scotland. Based on what I knew about Baptist origins in southern Britain, it seemed unlikely. She told me I should just listen to some of the singers from the region. So, I bought this CD. Well, I don't know if there is much to that sort of speculation, but the similarity between the two traditions is more than a little uncanny. The homophonic chant of a congregation following the leader as he lines out each line sounds at once familiar and other-worldly. To anyone who is familiar with Scottish psalmody, this record will be a shock. Tunes which bear identical names to those found in the Scottish Psalter bear almost no sonic resemblance to them. It may be that the "bones" of the tune have been lost through the weaving melismas that have passed through the oral tradition, but I cannot hear even a hint of the tunes I know by the names "Coleshill" or "Martyrdom." Listening to this wonderful disc, I could not help wondering if this was the sound that Burns had in mind when he wrote: "They chant their artless notes in simple guise, They tune their hearts, by far the noblest aim; Perhaps Dundee's wild-warbling measures rise; Or plaintive Martyrs, worthy of the name; Or noble Elgin beets the heaven-ward flame; The sweetest far of Scotia's holy lays: Compar'd with these, Italian trills are tame" Compared with Gaelic psalmody, the Lowland tunes are tame! I love this disc and would highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in the fringes Christian hymnody, or to anyone who has been enchanted by the singing of the Old Regular and Primitive Baptists of Appalachia. The melodies are full of pathos and depth - a far cry from "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam."

After the commencement speeches are over, the new grads face the job hunt and maybe a gap in health coverage. Starting in September, the new health law will let adult children ride on their folks' coverage until they turn 26. But a bunch of insurers, prodded by the feds, have agreed to start sooner, so there's no lapse for this year's graduates. If a health plan offers dependent coverage, then it will have to offer the extension of coverage, too, under interim regulatons just put out by the Department of Health and Human Services. But, as the Washington Post notes, there's nothing stopping insurers for charging a whole lot more for families who buy coverage on the individual market and whose children have preexisting conditions. Read More In 2014, the new health law won't let insurers levy higher premiums for people with preexisting conditions. Right now, HHS figures 2.4 million young adults might qualify for the extension on their parents plans. How many will sign up? The department isn't sure, but its middle-of-the-road estimate would be 1.24 million in 2011. Oh, and how much will the average premium run? About $3,380 per person for group plans and about $2,360 for families buying plans on the individual market in 2011, HHS estimates. For more information, check out the FAQ from HHS.

This week, Marine Sgt. Jason Grabill got the ride of a lifetime, in a vintage P-51 Mustang fighter. When the snub-nosed, jaunty plane rumbled to a stop on the tarmac of the Frederick Municipal Airport, about 50 miles north of Washington, D.C., Grabill got out whooping. Grabill's ride was part of the Wounded Warrior Project, an organization that helps veterans who have suffered wounds in service recover their lives with workforce programs, education services, and -- like today -- some simple fun and entertainment. Grabill was stationed at the Pentagon on Sept. 11, 2001. He still struggles with post-traumatic stress disorder, bouts of alcoholism, depression and other afflictions. "Hasn't been easy, but you do what you have to do," Grabill says. "This was a good day." And that’s why pilot Chris Baranaskas is with the Wounded Warrior Project -- to "give these guys a day they can take their mind off of things, do something different, get out and enjoy it." ’Liberating’ The small air corps on the airfield is composed of both modern and vintage aircraft, including a World War II-era B-25 bomber that's been named "Panchito" and that P-51 Mustang. It’s got "Glamorous Gal" airbrushed just behind the prop. Army Maj. Lisa Marie Maddox, who has had multiple knee surgeries, got a ride in a '60s-era vintage Paris jet. "It’s kind of a dream," she says. "I've kind of always wanted to fly in a jet like this, so that's an amazing thing to be able to do. Just being up in the air is kind of liberating." Sgt. David Hatmaker served in both Afghanistan and Iraq before the vehicle in which he was riding ran over an improvised explosive device. "My vehicle rolled over and I got my ankle halfway taken off." "I was one of the lucky ones that made it out of the vehicle," he says. "The other guys didn't, and I've been dealing with that ever since." But being airborne for just a while feels good, he says. "Put a big old smile on my face from ear to ear. The best part about it was when he was pulling about 6 G's. Face felt like Play-Doh." Brothers That Just Met The IED that blew up Neil Duncan's vehicle in Afghanistan in December of 2005 broke his jaw, shattered many of his teeth, and sheared off both of his legs. As he sits at the edge of the tarmac looking at the sleek planes, his khaki shorts reveal artificial limbs that end in sneakers. "Being independent's important," Duncan says. "That independence is gained by a lot of work, and a lot of rehab, and a lot of opportunity. I'd be nowhere without opportunity, and the Wounded Warrior Project has provided that for me." The project helped Duncan learn to ski again, go hiking, and even climb Mount Kilimanjaro. But while it helps give wounded vets the strength to stand on their own feet, the project offers a community for men and women who have shared life in the service -- a community of people who share their struggles. Whether Army, Navy or Air Force, veterans become close across all lines of service. Duncan and Hatmaker just met, but they’ve already bonded. "It's that brotherhood," Hatmaker says. "You can walk up, make a friend in the civilian world, forget his name and he'll forget your name. You go in the military and serve time with these guys -- especially out in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and you create a brotherhood and a friendship and a bond that stays with you for life." An Unforgettable Flight Dale Snodgrass is lithe and athletic, a silvery retired Navy pilot who could look like Tom Cruise's taller older brother. He’s a legend among airmen, and today he’s flying for the Wounded Warrior flight team. The project means a lot to him. "I'm a veteran," he says. "The project is ... a way to give something back. To put a sparkle in their eye; to say, 'Wow, that was cool.' " He’s taking Duncan up in an MS-760 jet. The two leave the cockpit canopy open as the jet springs to life. Ahead of them lumber an LS-39 Albatross jet and Panchito -- that B-25 bomber -- in line for takeoff. They fly in formation, old and modern aircraft, retired and active service people. The planes are close enough for a frog to leap across their wings -- if they weren't flying so high and fast. Panchito is a moving sight in the air. It's hard to believe that, not so long ago, 19- and 20-year-olds would crawl into a craft with such thick plating and glassy gun turrets that look like they could be shattered by a baseball bat. Duncan looks above and below, snaps photos and shares stories with Snodgrass. The G-forces slam into them when he pops the plane skyward, leaving green fields far below. When Snodgrass brings the heavy jet in for a landing, his touch is so light and exacting, it has all the force of a feather-filled duvet plopping on a bed. Carrying Comrades Back The day in the sky, of course, is just a way of opening a window of hope for vets in the Wounded Warrior Project. Spokesman John Sullivan hopes that the programs they have to assist veterans will drive down an alarming statistic. More than 300 ser

These are one of my favourite styles. They fit true to size, fitted at the thigh then straight from the knee. I love the softness of the material and the shade range. These are not traditional jeans,, they are more modern and look very stylish. They are softer and more flexible but still high quality. They fit a little bigger than the Riders by Lee equivalent but are still body hugging rather than baggy like more traditional styles. They feel so nice on and move with my body, perfect for day or night.

One of the most important maxims in writing is “write what you know.” If you don’t know anything about handyman work, then don’t write about handyman work. You’re right, it will be hard to write anything original about handyman work if all of your knowledge about it is direct from a book with no practical experience or knowledge of the basics to draw on. That is not to say that research is not important. It certainly is. But research is not going to enable you to write articles that compare favorably with articles written by someone who has years of schooling and years of practical experience on a subject, and who has also done research on that subject. And today, there will be millions of such people writing about any particular subject that you might choose. Generally speaking, when people blog about something, it is the thing they either know best or are most passionate about, or both. So you might start by making a list of the 5 things you know best and the 5 things you are most passionate about. There may be some overlap. And then ask yourself if you have something to say on those subjects.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A week ago, the Tampa Bay Rays closed a season-opening homestand with a 5-2 record for the best start in franchise history. The Rays return to Tropicana Field to face the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday, having lost six of seven games on the road to fall to 6-8, with much of that early momentum already long gone. “We talk about for us to have our best chance, we have to play clean baseball,” manager Kevin Cash said after Monday’s 4-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. “We could probably go back to a couple plays on this road trip that it just didn’t go our way. Very tough for us to overcome.” Monday’s loss at Boston included 11 more strikeouts by the Rays, giving them a major-league-high 150 this season. Tampa Bay hitters had 15 at-bats with runners in scoring position, and managed only three hits for a .200 average, losing despite outhitting the Red Sox by an 11-9 margin. “We had some opportunities late, got guys on base, had some big at-bats,” said Cash, whose team had the bases loaded with two out in the seventh, only to have Logan Morrison pop out to shallow right field. “Just wasn’t able to get that big hit, the big blow there. … We’ve got to play fundamentally sound baseball. Everybody in this clubhouse knows that, and we haven’t been on this road trip.” They will have to get back on track against two of the best teams in the American League, Detroit and Houston, both off to 8-4 starts. The Tigers have won three straight series, and open the three-game set with the Rays against a pitcher who has excelled against them in right-hander Michael Fulmer. Fulmer (1-0, 2.25 ERA) is 2-0 with a 0.64 ERA for his career against the Rays, with two gems last season. In May, he struck out 11 Rays while holding Tampa Bay to one run on four hits in seven innings, and in July at Tropicana Field, he was even sharper, throwing seven shutout innings of two-hit ball and striking out 10. The Rays have struggled with strikeouts in their recent skid, including 40 in the last three losses to Boston. They will try to turn that around in support of No. 5 starter Matt Andriese (0-0, 4.50), who carries a career 5.73 ERA against Detroit. Andriese pitched well in his last outing against the Tigers, pitching three innings of one-hit, scoreless relief in a June 30 game last year. Tampa Bay’s bullpen has struggled in the last week, which presents a target for a Detroit offense that’s prided itself on coming through with late runs to help them to an 8-1 record in games decided by three runs or fewer. “Add-on runs are enormous,” Detroit manager Brad Ausmus said after Sunday’s win over Cleveland. “The later in the game, the more you can add on, the more secure the lead. I can’t really put a value on them. Add-on runs are huge.” FOX Fantasy Baseball Join or Create a Free League Play Now!

Estates of the realm The best known system is the French Ancien Régime (Old Regime), a three-estate system used until the French Revolution (1789–1799). Monarchy was for the king and the queen and this system was made up of clergy (the First Estate), nobles (the Second Estate), and peasants and bourgeoisie (the Third Estate). In some regions, notably Scandinavia and Russia, burghers (the urban merchant class) and rural commoners were split into separate estates, creating a four-estate system with rural commoners ranking the lowest as the Fourth Estate. Furthermore, the non-landowning poor could be left outside the estates, leaving them without political rights. In England, a two-estate system evolved that combined nobility and bishops into one lordly estate with "commons" as the second estate. This system produced the two houses of parliament, the House of Commons and the House of Lords. In southern Germany, a three-estate system of nobility (princes and high clergy), ritters (knights), and burghers was used.

Among the several plays by Zheng Tingyu,A Narrow Escape of Zhaowang the King of Chu on a River is the one provoking arguments on its different versions.Since the 20th century,many scholars devoted to the research of this work either avoid evaluating its different versions or appreciate its Yuan versions while depreciating its Ming versions,which has inevitably hindered an objective review of this play and even of all the Yuan operas.Through a detailed comparison and research,it can be found that the different versions of this play in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties show the evident inherent relationship in the plot,the logic,the conception,the music and the lines.The revised versions in the Ming Dynasty reflect the artistic rationality and historical necessity.

Since Fleetwood Mac released its debut album nearly 50 years ago, there have been many incarnations, comings and goings, couplings and uncouplings. But here's a new combination — Lindsey Buckingham and Christine McVie have released a record together! Lindsey and Christine are my guests today. They started working on their self-titled duets record shortly after Christine rejoined Fleetwood Mac in 2014 — she had left the band 16 years before. We talk about what she was up to in the meantime, and how Mick Fleetwood helped Christine overcome her severe fear of flying. Although this is not a Fleetwood Mac album we're talking about, Lindsey and Christine did recruit original bassist John McVie and drummer Mick Fleetwood to do some recording. And they made the album at Studio D in Los Angeles, the same place where Fleetwood Mac recorded the 1979 album Tusk. We'll talk a bit about the Tusk years, and some of the soap opera around the band's iconic 1977 album Rumours, when everyone was breaking up and breaking down. (In case you need a refresher, Christine's marriage to bassist John McVie was ending; Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham had split after a long time as romantic and musical partners.) Through it all, there was never drama or ill will between Lindsey and Christine — which is maybe why their songwriting and musical chemistry is still intact after all these years. We'll find out. But we start with a live performance of the song "Red Sun," recorded at the Sands Bethlehem Event Center in Bethlehem, Penn. Listen in the player above.

Frederick Whitaker Premier: 30 Oct 1863–24 Nov 1864; 21 Apr 1882–25 Sept 1883 Despite Frederick Whitaker’s advanced views on electoral reform, this two-time premier tarnished his reputation by land speculation and confiscation. More... Frederick Weld Premier: 24 Nov 1864–16 Oct 1865 Frederick Weld was only briefly premier, but the fact that he was a Roman Catholic showed how different New Zealand was to Britain (which has still never had a Catholic PM). More... George Waterhouse Premier: 11 Oct 1872–3 Mar 1873 George Waterhouse, who never stood for elected office here, was a premier on both sides of the Tasman, leading South Australia (1861-3) and New Zealand (1872-3). More... Julius Vogel Premier: 8 Apr 1873–6 Jul 1875; 15 Feb–1 Sept 1876 Although he spent just 18 years in New Zealand, journalist, businessman and politician Julius (Sir Julius from 1874) Vogel dominated this country's political scene. More... Daniel Pollen Premier: 6 Jul 1875–15 Feb 1876 Largely forgotten today, Daniel Pollen was considered a ‘safe man’ and a good administrator. In July 1875 he took over the premiership from the absent Sir Julius Vogel, although Harry Atkinson really ran things. More... Harry Atkinson Premier: 1 Sept 1876–13 Oct 1877; 25 Sept 1883–16 Aug 1884; 28 Aug–3 Sept 1884; 8 Oct 1887–21 Jan 1891 Harry Atkinson was premier four times – five if you count the ‘reconstitution’ of his first ministry a fortnight into its life. Like Edward Stafford, he was a stabilising force who transcended regionalism for national interests. More... Sir George Grey Premier: 13 Oct 1877–8 Oct 1879 Sir George Grey was our only politician for whom the premiership was an anticlimax. He had governed autocratically from 1845 to 1853 (greatly shaping our constitutional arrangements) and returned as governor in 1861. More... John Hall Premier: 8 Oct 1879–21 Apr 1882 John (later Sir John) Hall was a force in our politics for several decades. In the late 1880s and early 1890s he led the parliamentary campaign for votes for women. More... Sir Robert Stout Premier: 16–28 Aug 1884; 3 Sept 1884–8 Oct 1887 The careers of Sir Robert Stout and Sir Julius Vogel were so closely intertwined that Stout’s governments are usually referred to as Stout-Vogel ministries. Both men started their public lives in Otago and followed similar policies. More... John Ballance Premier: 24 Jan 1891–27 Apr 1893 John Ballance, who led the Liberals to power in 1891, was called ‘the rainmaker’ by voters relieved to see the return of prosperity. More... Richard Seddon Premier: 1 May 1893–10 Jun 1906 Richard Seddon’s nickname, ‘King Dick’, says it all. Our longest-serving and most famous leader didn't just lead the government – many argued he w

Embassies and consulates will only assist their own citizens. For example, the section of the US embassy that performs this function is called "American Citizen Services". You and your spouse would have to contact your respective countries' embassies. As your children are dual citizens they could get assistance from either embassy. Only in exceedingly rare emergency situations such as evacuations during times of war you might get assistance for your entire family despite that fact that some members are non-citizens. For anything else routine you would have to visit your home country's embassy. Many people are under the impression (usually from watching too many movies) that an embassy will going to extraordinary lengths to protect their citizens. In reality, it is usually the opposite and the embassy will rarely intervene in emergencies. For example, if you are arrested in a foreign country, you should only expect a consular visit and the telephone number of a local lawyer. If you run out of money, they are not going to loan you money to fly home etc. Finally, in theory, EU citizens can visit the embassy of any other EU country if their home country does not have local representation. For example, Portugal does not have an embassy in Cambodia, but in theory a Portuguese citizen living there could receive assistance at the French Embassy there. I've heard that in practice that this doesn't work as well as it should.

In his $2 trillion plan to improve America's infrastructure, President Biden is promising to address the racism ingrained in historical transportation and urban planning. Biden's plan includes $20 billion for a program that would "reconnect neighborhoods cut off by historic investments," according to the White House. It also looks to target "40 percent of the benefits of climate and clean infrastructure investments to disadvantaged communities." Planners of the interstate highway system, which began to take shape after the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, routed some highways directly, and sometimes purposefully, through Black and brown communities. In some instances, the government took homes by eminent domain. It left a deep psychological scar on neighborhoods that lost homes, churches and schools, says Deborah Archer, a professor at the New York University School of Law and national board president of the American Civil Liberties Union. Archer recently wrote for the Iowa Law Review about how transportation policy affected the development of Black communities. She says the president will face major challenges in trying to rectify historical inequities. "What is not clear is whether and how that money will be distributed in a way that will address the racial inequalities that are built into our transportation system and our infrastructure," she tells NPR's Morning Edition. "I think it's also important for us to think about how we will shift culture within the relevant agencies so that white middle-class and affluent neighborhoods will not continue to be favored at the expense of communities of color, producing lopsided and skewed patterns of infrastructure development." Here are highlights from Archer's interview with NPR: Why would officials have targeted thriving vibrant communities? Was it just because the people who lived there were Black and or brown? Some of the time, yes, that was actually the case. The highways were being built just as courts around the country were striking down traditional tools of racial segregation. So, for example, courts were striking down the use of racial zoning to keep Black people in certain communities and white people in other communities. And so the highway development popped up at a time when the idea, the possibility of integration in housing was on the horizon. And so very intentionally, highways were sometimes built right on the formal boundary lines that we saw used during racial zoning. Sometimes community members asked the highway builders to create a barrier between their community and encroaching Black communities. As I read your paper, I was astonished to realize how many places this happened. Was there any successful resistance? There was certainly successful resistance. We can see good examples in Greenwich Village in New York. There were examples from Washington, D.C., which is where the phrase "no white men's roads through Black men's homes" came from. That was the rallying cry for folks in D.C. who resisted it. And there was also a successful effort in New Orleans. But I think it's important to point out the most successful efforts to stop the highways were not those that focused on racial justice or those that were put in place to protect Black communities. The people who were most successful were the ones that focused on environmental justice and protecting parks and their communities in that way. If this initiative works, in what ways do you see the country being different in five or 10 years? I think that right now, we can see that race frequently explains which communities receive the benefits of our transportation system and infrastructure and which communities were forced to host the burdens. Our transportation systems have really led to racial disparities and discrimination, which are reinforced daily from highways, roads, bridges to sidewalks and public transit. We make it harder for Black people and other people of color to access and take advantage of opportunities. So I would hope that at the end of this project — at the end of this plan — as you say in five years, that race would not be a way to explain who gets the benefits and who gets the burdens. It would not be a way to explain who has access and who doesn't. Marc Rivers and Simone Popperl produced and edited the audio interview. Digital News intern Farah Eltohamy produced for the Web.

For H3K9me1: H3: name of the histone K9: amino acid and position (K = lysine, position 9) of modification me1: modification (me = methylation, ac = Acetylation), and number of modifications So H3K9me1 means that the 9th residue (lysine) of histone H3 was monomethylated. Similarly H3K9Ac means that same residue was acetylated. Wikipedia gives a decent explanation of the nomenclature of histone modifications, and there is also a more detailed table in Nature Structural &amp; Molecular Biology.

In a repeat of the 2016 final, Pablo Carreno Busta gained a measure of revenge over Nicolas Almagro in the Estoril Open last eight. Pablo Carreno Busta avenged his defeat in last year's Estoril Open final by overcoming Nicolas Almagro to reach the last four. Last year, Carreno Busta fell at the final hurdle at the hands of his Spanish compatriot, but the roles were reversed 12 months on as the top seed won through 6-2 6-4. His semi-final opponent will be another Spaniard in the shape of David Ferrer, who eased past Ryan Harrison 6-4 6-0. Saturday's other last-four clash sees Kevin Anderson, conqueror of 2015 champion Richard Gasquet, take on Gilles Muller, who came from behind to beat Taro Daniel 5-7 6-2 6-3. Meanwhile, at the BMW Open in Munich, Guido Pella overcame the disappointment of wasting two match points in the second set against Horacio Zeballos to prevail 6-3 6-7 (5-7) 7-6 (7-3). Pella will face Chung Hyeon or 2014 champion Martin Klizan in the semis. Their quarter-final will be completed on Saturday with darkness halting the deciding set at 3-2 on serve in the South Korean's favour. In the other semi-final, Roberto Bautista-Agut takes on Alexander Zverev following their respective wins over Yannick Hanfmann and Jan-Lennard Struff.

Lincolnshire County Council is using a special machine to cut and collect grass cuttings ready for anaerobic digestion. Delegates from councils across the country have been to see how this pilot scheme works. The scheme is monitoring biogas yields, biodiversity impacts and the costs of harvesting grass in this way. The cuttings are taken to a biomass plant at Scrivelsby near Horncastle and used as fuel. Ultimately if the pilot scheme is successful the council could get up to 10 of these machines. The council has about 4,000 miles of grass verge to maintain. Dr Nick Cheffins, who helps oversee the trial, said: "It could be a renewable power source. "We sell electricity to the grid and use the heat also produced for various agricultural processes". The scheme was looking to get enough data to produce a "tool-kit" for other interested councils, he added. Councillor Richard Davies said: "This is a first for a local authority. "It's early days, but we think it's worth testing it out in the real world." Mr Davies said removing the cuttings from the verges helped to protect wildflower growth and slow down the rate of grass growth. "It makes sense from both an environmental and economic point of view", he said. Mark Schofield of Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust said the scheme could "throw a lifeline to grass land" and change the way grass verges were managed. The scheme is been run with support from the Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and Leeds University.

(Reuters) - Activist investor Elliott Management Corp said on Monday NXP Semiconductors NV (NXPI.O) is worth about 23 percent more than Qualcomm Inc’s (QCOM.O) $38-billion offer to buy the chipmaker. A man works on a tent for NXP Semiconductors in preparation for the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) at Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. on January 4, 2015. REUTERS/Steve Marcus/File Photo Elliott, which has a stake of about 6 percent in NXP, said NXP was worth $135 per share on an intrinsic standalone basis, compared with Qualcomm’s offer of $110 made in October 2016. NXP shares were up 0.6 percent at $116 in morning trading, while Qualcomm’s shares were up about 1 percent at $64.87. Elliott, a New York-based hedge fund, said Qualcomm’s offer had taken advantage of NXP’s depressed stock price last year and has acted as a ceiling on its valuation. “We believe NXP’s prospects are bright. Approximately half of NXP’s revenue is exposed to exciting growth engines of the semiconductor market – automotive and industrial,” Elliott said in a letter to other NXP shareholders. Qualcomm replied saying it believed the agreed-upon price of $110 is full and fair, and that it remained fully committed to closing the acquisition. “Elliott’s value assertion for NXP is unsupportable and is clearly nothing more than an attempt to advance its own self-serving agenda,” Qualcomm said in a statement. Elliott said it has retained UBS to conduct a financial analysis on NXP and that it would share the report with other shareholders. NXP’s shares have been trading above Qualcomm’s offer price since Aug. 4 when Elliott indicated it was pushing for a higher price. Besides trying to convince NXP investors of the planned acquisition, Qualcomm has also toiled to win regulatory approval and has offered certain concessions to address concerns the deal would hamper competition in the market. Since it offered to buy NXP, Qualcomm itself has been the target of an acquisition approach from Broadcom Ltd (AVGO.O), but it rejected the $103-billion offer last month. Broadcom had indicated it was willing to acquire Qualcomm, for $70 per share, irrespective of whether it closed the NXP deal. Acquiring NXP would make Qualcomm the leading chip supplier to the fast-growing automotive market.

(CNN) -- Pundit Glenn Reynolds recently wrote: "So as I understand it, Atticus Finch is now the bad guy in "To Kill A Mockingbird," because he doubted a story about rape." How right he was. A story with a rape allegation carries an immediate electric charge. In Jim Crow's South, lynchings often came with a story of the victim having raped a white girl. With the energy of such a story, it wasn't too hard to whip up a fury strong enough to leave a man hanging from a tree. The "rape propaganda" was necessary to garner the emotions necessary to press the real, dark, agenda. Al Sharpton took a page out of the old South's playbook and brought us Tawana Brawley, who accused six white men of raping her. The story of white on black crime resonated, and it helped to promote a social justice agenda, but Tawana Brawley was no more a rape victim than two white women in Scottsboro, Alabama, who falsely accused nine black teenagers more than 80 years ago. What do these stories have in common? Someone had an agenda, and they knew that a rape story would put it on a rocket powered toboggan. And, therein lies the origin of today's "rape culture" frenzy. This is not to say that there are not unreported and unprosecuted sexual assaults. I have dear friends who suffered such injustice, and I believe their stories with every drop of blood in my body. I'll bet that nearly everyone knows someone who has a verifiably true story. But, is that really "rape culture?" What does that silly phrase mean? It means the same thing as Jim Crow stories of rape meant. It means the same thing that Tawana Brawley meant. It means that someone has an agenda, and they want to harness the emotional power of rape to promote it. Which brings us to the University of Virginia. When Sabrina Erdely's Rolling Stone story about a gang rape in a UVA frat house hit the presses, it went viral. Why? It was like a horror movie. I'll admit that when I read it, my own prejudices rose up, and I believed "Jackie" (the victim in the story). I thought of my friends who had been harmed and couldn't even begin to doubt that "Jackie" was telling the truth. Why wouldn't I believe her? The antagonists were a bunch of over-privileged white fraternity jerks from UVA, it seemed. The victim was yet another young woman who had had justice withheld. The story confirmed what I wanted to believe: that the elite run roughshod over the rest of us. It proved so much, and I "knew" which side was right. And it confirmed the bias of left-wing academics who have collectively decided that the "war on boys" must have more victims, because everything with a penis is a rapist. As the story burned, cries of "rape culture" started to sound less like fairy tales and more like factual reports. All of a sudden, embattled sexual harassment policies on college campuses started to look good, perhaps unquestionable. These policies that have been attacked by those who still believe in that quaint notion known as due process, and the tide started to turn. The Boston Globe recently ran the story of Patrick Whitt, who found himself falsely accused, and immediately judged guilty by mere suspicion. But then we had Jackie. Rape culture was real, after all! And then someone dared to question the story. Even I was aghast. How could he? This account was not published in some rag -- this was Rolling Stone, a publication of editorial ethics. Some schools of feminist thought consider questioning a victim to be utterly taboo. If she said it, then it must be true. Such is the mentality of those who would lynch Atticus Finch, or at least call for his disbarment, if he were practicing in modern day America. "Jackie" may not be Mayella Ewell, "Mockingbird's" faux victim. I wasn't there in that UVA frat house. But Jackie supposedly was. Nevertheless, the "journalist" who brought us the story has now been revealed to have been, at least, lazy and willfully blind to the holes in Jackie's story. She claims that she never asked the men in the story for their account of events because of an agreement with Jackie. And therein lie so many problems. This is the kind of "believe the victim" mentality that is so darkly infecting academia. "Presumed guilty" is the new standard. Patrick Whitt is the new Tom Robinson, the black man accused of the rape in "To Kill a Mockingbird." Due process loses, ethics are out the window, because there is an agenda, and it needs the fuel of a rape story. And who loses? The casualty list is still being compiled. Terrible journalism or not, maybe Jackie was telling the truth. Maybe she was lying. If she was lying, the UVA Greek system already paid a terrible price. If she was telling the truth, she won't ever be believed now. Why? Because Sabrina Erdely was so utterly void of journalistic ethics that she committed "journalistic malpractice." Because now, nobody will believe Jackie. And after Erdely's lazy journalism, the next girl who reports a rape might find it to be that much more difficult to get to justice. I don't know what Erdely's agenda was, but it wasn't responsible journalism. Responsible journalism is hard. It isn't public relations. A responsible journalist digs for the truth, she doesn't just take her subject's agenda and run with it. That isn't journalism, that's "gossip," and like all gossip, it doesn't do anything positive for anyone.

Erin Energy (ERN +8.3% ) is on the move after announcing the start of drilling of the Oyo-9 well offshore Nigeria, despite a dispute with Malaysian offshore contractor Bumi Armada. ERN expects the well to take ~62 days to drill and complete, with the tie-in of the well to the floating production, storage and offloading unit for the start of production anticipated late in Q4; the well is expected to add 6K-7K boe/day to the field’s current production. ERN has been in dispute with the Malaysian contractor over delays in bareboat charter payments due by ERN as well as irregular payments on the operations and maintenance contract; ERN recently was allowed to flow its Oyo field oil into cargo tanks of the FPSO despite the debts.
