Delport dominates for Seconds
Middlesex v Leicestershire, Second XI T20 Friendly
SCORECARD – Game 1
SCORECARD – Game 2
REPORT | By Pete Johnson
Leicestershire took on Middlesex in a SET20 Friendly encounter at the home of Uxbridge CC. In the recent past the home of Uxbridge CC has been rebranded as Uxbridge Sports Club encompassing cricket, rugby, squash, and bowls.
Uxbridge Sports Club is bordered by a road named Gatting Way, and Brearley Close is a small housing development off Gatting Way, lasting recognition of icons from Middlesex's past. Uxbridge is also a ubiquitous name on the front of London Underground trains when heading west, it being the last stop on the Metropolitan and Piccadilly lines.
Sadler's cavalcade of cricketing Corinthians regally swept into the Uxbridge Sports Ground on a dull, overcast, and cloudy morning. The outfield was surprisingly dry considering the heavy rain in the area over the past 12 hours, the grass being brown in colour in the majority of areas as opposed to green.
Each side won one game in the two-match format of the day, both victories being by nine wickets. In game one, the Leicestershire victory was spearheaded by Cameron Delport who made an outstanding 99 not out. Delport chased the innings down like a one man pack of hounds chasing their beleaguered quarry. An innings of the highest quality, up there with the best that I have seen in my (considerable) time.
In Game two, the Middlesex spinners got to work, restricting County to a small total and the batsmen knocked the runs off comfortably.
Tom Wells was skippering County, won the toss, and elected to field. Robbie White and Martin Andersson opened up for Middlesex. The Middlesex white ball top being a rather eye-catching pink number.
White (4) went caught at slip by Aadil Ali off Richard Jones. Andersson (7) soon followed when he dragged one on from Jones. George Scott and James Fuller then added 33 for the third wicket before Callum Parkinson, bowling from the Town End bowled Fuller (22), Middlesex on 46-3 from 6.3 overs.
The 50 then came up from 45 balls. George Scott was proving difficult to dislodge, ticking over at a run a ball. Jamie Harris (11) went to a scintillating catch at point by Delport off the bowling of Wells.
Soon afterwards Savin Perera went lbw to Delport, who was operating from the Pavilion End. Middlesex on 92-5 from 13.4. Scott went to his half-century (3x4) from 42 balls when the score reached 108-5 after 15.1 overs.
Scott (51) was then bowled by a slower ball from Wells, who worked a bit of magic to 'beam Scotty up'. Wells then repeated the trick when he completely deceived Nathan Sowter (4), also bowling him with a slower ball. Splendid acumen from Wells. Middlesex on 119-7 from 17 overs.
Don Manuwelge (10) went superbly caught right on the third man boundary by Parkinson off Jones, who had replaced Delport at the Pavilion End. A great catch by Parkinson, who was just inside the rope, and took the catch high above his head, in doing so preventing a maximum.
Ravi Patel (0) was bowled by Jones, leaving Middlesex on 120-9 from 17.5. Jones getting the wicket with a slower ball, a la Wells. The last pair Harry Podmore (18*) and Tom Barber (1*) saw out the 20 overs, Middlesex closing on 138-9. Jones returning superb figures of 4-18, backed up by Wells with 3-35.
Paceman Jones not only caused problems for the Middlesex batsmen, as he had my scoring colleague somewhat perplexed as well. Jones was not wearing his allocated number 25 shirt, but was wearing a number 5 shirt, with the name Dearden on the back. How the same article of clothing can fit both Harry Dearden, and Richard Jones must be the eighth wonder of the world. Jones being tall and Dearden being small in stature.
Parkinson and Delport (sounds like a firm of solicitors) weighing in with a wicket apiece. Also a mention for the diminutive little gloveman Harry Swindells. There was only one bye in the innings, and that came following a front foot no-ball from Delport. The 'free hit' ball sent down by Delport bowled the batsman (Harris), and squirted off the stumps in the direction of backward square, the batsmen running through for a bye. This was actually the only bye in the match, testament to the excellent glove work of both keepers.
The Leicestershire reply got off to a good start Aadil Ali and Delport adding 28 for the first wicket from three overs. Aadil (10) was run out by an outstanding piece of fielding by Perera, who threw the stumps down from cover with the batsman just out of his ground.
We then witnessed a tremendous innings from Delport. He was joined by Will Fazakerley, and the pair rattled up a 50 partnership from 43 balls with the score on 78-1 from 10. Delport was in magnificent form, cruising to his 50 (6x4, 2x6) from 34 balls.
Fazakerley was proving a good foil for Delport, and was playing a fine RSJ role (supporting). We were then treated to an over of pyrotechnics by Delport off the bowling of seamer Scott, the 12th over of the innings. Delport hit balls 1,3,4, and 5 for enormous maximums, one of which merits a full description, probably one of the finest improvised shots your esteemed 'warhorse' of Second XI shootouts has seen.
The left-handed Delport was launching his assault on Scott who was coming in from the Town End. For one of the maximums Delport turned his wrists as the ball was on its way, kept his feet in situ as a left hander, and blasted the ball over cover for a huge maximum. Cover being in the correct position for when a left-hander was facing.
The power that was generated from this 'reverse' shot was out of this world. I am sure a certain bloke, who we see on Sky Sports Soccer Saturday with a similar name (Kammy) would have said unbelievable Jeff! Blowers would have been overcome by the exuberance of his own verbosity had he been commentating on it.
Delport and Fazakerley brought up their 100 partnership from 63 balls with the score on 133-1 from 13.2. Delport duly made the winning shot when he deposited spinner Patel for what else, but a maximum. County 142-1 from 14.2 overs, winning by 9 wickets. Delport 99 not out (8x4, 8x6) from 48 balls, no century but plenty of red balloons. All-rounder Fazakerley finished with a creditable 30 not out from 28 balls.
County made one change for game two, Jacob Bailey replacing Delport. Wells won the toss again, and decided to bat. It was a case of after the Lord Mayor's Show as County were dismissed for 88 from 18.5 overs. The innings got off to a good start with Aadil and Dearden adding 31 for the 1st wicket from 3.4.
If Aadil considered himself unfortunate to get run out in the first innings, he must have known it was not his day when caught at mid-wicket from a ball that left his bat at jet propelled pace, about knee high. The ball arrowed to Thilim Walallawita at mid-wicket who took an absolute blinder of a catch. Aadil, I would not bother buying a Lottery ticket this week.
Fazakerley joined Dearden, but was not able to repeat his first innings exploits when he was adjudged lbw to spinner Walallawita for 8. Harry's game (good TV Drama that) was up when Dearden (21) from 18 balls went stumped by White off Walallawita. County 50-3 from 8.4. Mark Pettini (4) was another stumping victim for White, this time off the bowling of Patel.
Wells (15) went bowled by Patel, and the last five wickets fell for just 15 runs from 4.5 overs. Swindells (4) was bowled by Nathan Sowter attempting a Dick Van Dyke impression - sweeping. Parkinson (14) was the third stumping victim of the innings, this time off the bowling of Sowter.
Mike (0) was bowled by Walallawita, Jones (4) caught and bowled by Harris, and Bailey (0) bowled by Harris, County all out for 88 (I can hear a bingo caller in full flow now) from 18.5 overs, the Middlesex spinners claiming 7-48 from 12 overs.
Middlesex chased down the total in 10.2 overs for the loss of one wicket. They reached 50 from 39 balls. Sowter (34) was caught by Manthorpe off Aadil when the score was 66 from 7.5 overs. Scott 37* and Podmore 14* saw Middlesex home.
There were no points at stake in these matches, as if you were paying attention at the beginning of my literary masterpiece, you will recall it was a SET20 Friendly.

Men's hockey will face Arizona State this Friday and Saturday in a doubleheader at Hobey Baker Rink. The Tigers, who are 3–6–1 overall, are looking to snap a five-game losing streak, which includes two straight losses to No. 9 Quinnipiac last weekend. Both of these losses came ended with a three-goal margin. The six goals the Tigers gave up on Saturday were the most they have conceded in a game all season.
The Tigers are hoping that the matches against Arizona State this weekend will mark a turning point in what has been an underwhelming season thus far. Predicted to finish second in the ECAC preseason poll, Princeton is currently fifth in the conference standings. Nationwide, the Tigers have dropped out of the top 20 for the first time this season.
Despite their struggles, the early season has not come without positives for the Tigers. The team has benefitted from strong senior leadership throughout the season, with defenseman Josh Teves and forwards Ryan Kuffner and Max Veronneau playing crucial roles in the Tigers' success. Kuffner is currently fifth in the nation in points per game, with 1.6, while Veronneau is 15th, with 1.3.
The Tigers will face stiff competition from Arizona State, as the Sun Devils are 10–6 for the season and rank 19th in the nation. Their offense is led by sophomore forward Johnny Walker, who ranks 12th in the nation in total points, with 18 overall. As a whole, the Sun Devils have the ninth best penalty kill in the country at 86.5 percent. Their defense is bolstered by the strong play of junior goaltender Joey Daccord, who allows 2.45 goals per game and has a .919 save percentage, both of which put him in the top 35 nationwide.
The Tigers will likely have plenty of power play opportunities against the Sun Devils, who rank second in the nation in total penalty minutes. This plays right into the Tigers' strengths, as their power play is seventh best in the nation at 27 percent. If they can capitalize on these opportunities, and come out on top this weekend, the Tigers will be one step closer to rescuing their season.

Latest Ever finish for a Wimbledon game as new retractable roof makes debut.
After a titanic struggle of close to 4 hours, Andy Murray made it into the quarter finals of Wimbledon, and Stanislas Wawrinka was left to scoot off the court before the partisan crowd deafened him in their support for the home-grown Tennis Hero.
After a threat of rain earlier in the day, the centre court crowd saw the Wimbledon roof pulled out, and word came down that no matter what, Murray and Warrinka were playing to the finish line tonight.
At around 8pm all the other courts closed. At 9pm people started to realise just how good the daylight floodlights were on the roof as cheering fans on Henman Hill was shrouded in darkness. At 9.17pm the game officially became the latest finish in the championship history.
And at 10.38pm, Murray took match point, and a place in the next edition of Trivial Pursuit.
Murray was in serious danger tonight of being labelled "Scottish Wimbledon hopeful" in tomorrow's press, but lives to fight another day. That day will be Wednesday, when he takes on Spanish wildcard entrant Juan Carlos Ferrero in the quarter finals.
One Comment
It certainly was a nail biting match, I sat up nervously eating my strawberries and cream, well done to Andy… The court looked great with the roof over!

Mobile blackspot program changes could help Wimmera: leaders
WIMMERA leaders believe a state government decision to pull away from a federal mobile blackspot program is likely to benefit the region.
The government announced on Wednesday it would abandon the program in favour of its own system, which it said would allocate mobile towers on merit rather than political interests.
The government will use the $11 million it planned to invest in round three of the blackspots program to build new towers across regional Victoria.
Digital Economy Minister Philip Dalidakis said the government was leaving the program because the federal government failed to properly consult when choosing sites, and showed a lack of transparency about how sites were selected.
Wimmera Development Association executive director Ralph Kenyon said the group was not concerned about the move.
"In fact it probably gives us a better chance of getting towers up," he said.
"We understand there will be a priority process – that's based on something we've done in the Wimmera in the past six months.
"We've got a number of sites we're trying to get towers for, and we've been trying to link them with some of the big agriculture industry needs in the region, as well as emergency services, population and tourism needs.
"We'll continue to push for support for mobile towers in the Wimmera Southern Mallee."
Member for Mallee Andrew Broad said the changes would not affect the Wimmera's ability to advocate for mobile phone towers.
"The bigger concern is that there is no fourth round funded in the forward estimates for the federal budget," he said.
"We received 27 towers in the Mallee in rounds one and two, and that would be nearly more than any seat in the country I think. That is partly due to advocacy, but partly also driven by need."
Mr Broad said he had some sympathy for the state government's position.
"They believe the program wasn't administered as clearly as it could have been," he said.
"I can understand what they are saying in wanting greater transparency. But there's a new minister in charge of it now.
"Keep in mind too that there was never a blackspot program funded at federal or state level until we did it.
"Investments in mobile phone towers and road and rail infrastructure are the two things that fundamentally will drive our regional economy, because people now run businesses on mobile phones, and have to get what they produce to the market.
"I'm happy to see further investment in either of those two areas."
Pomonal is due to receive a tower in a state government deal with Optus.

CCBIO SAB (Scientific Advisory Board)
The CCBIO Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) consists of professors Carl-Henrik Heldin, Bruce Zetter and Ate van der Zee, all three being internationally leading researchers in CCBIO-relevant fields.
Short bios of each SAB representative can be found at the bottom of this page.
The SAB's mandate is to give the center director and center staff advice on science and scientifically relevant matters. The SAB convenes once a year for a full day meeting with the CCBIO PIs and associate investigators, mostly following the CCBIO Annual Symposium. The SAB's feedback has been of great inspiration and utility to CCBIO and for every SAB meeting, CCBIO provides the SAB a report on the response to their recommendations.
In their 2018 report, the SAB stated that CCBIO has done an outstanding job of building the faculty, leadership, infrastructure, research, clinical trials, and education programs necessary for a true center of excellence. The SAB also stated that after a successful completion of the first half of the funding period and a very positive mid-term evaluation, CCBIO is now in a good position to take on additional challenges for the second funding period. The SAB's overarching recommendation was for CCBIO to narrow its priorities, focusing on what CCBIO should deliver at the end of its funding cycle in 2023, as well as how to position itself for the future beyond 2023.
CCBIO was encouraged to continue its inclusion of young faculty to improve its prospects for the future, including an improved gender balance at the senior level. The SAB also stated that CCBIO's strategy of recruiting adjunct international researchers should be continued and widened, focusing specifically on recruiting bioinformaticians to affiliated positions, and to accelerate the adoption of bioinformatics and other tools to process big data into CCBIO's discovery, validation and clinical implementation of novel biomarkers.
The SAB characterized the discovery of new biomarkers as one of CCBIO's major strengths and recommends incorporating its biomarkers even more strongly into clinical trials in order to maximize utility for society. It also acclaimed CCBIO's emphasis on liquid biomarkers and encouraged CCBIO to focus more intently on the validation and clinical adoption of a subset of these biomarkers. The increase in the number of clinical trials performed within the CCBIO context was acclaimed by the SAB, and CCBIO was recommended to contribute towards improvements of the routine biomarker collection infrastructure in its vicinity. CCBIO's industry interactions is seen by the SAB as a strong basis for further development as well as recruitment of industry-associated advisors or adjunct faculty.
The SAB lauds CCBIO's effort within societal projects (ethics, economics, and priorities related to novel cancer biomarkers) for working with the outside community through its education and outreach programs. It characterized the inclusion of ELSA lectures at the Symposium as a great success as it stimulated much thinking and discussion on these topics.
Short bio, Heldin
Carl-Henrik Heldin is the chairman of CCBIO's SAB and is professor and director at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, Uppsala University, and chairman of the Nobel Foundation.

DEL RIO, Texas – On June 1, U.S. Border Patrol agents assigned to the Eagle Pass South Station recovered a deceased individual from the Rio Grande River.
"The Rio Grande River poses a great risk of danger to everyone on daily basis, then you add the recent rains and it can become a death trap to individuals not equipped to handle the rough waters," said Del Rio Sector Chief Rodolfo Karisch.
Border Patrol agents conducting marine operations near Eagle Pass, discovered a deceased individual in the Rio Grande River adjacent to ranchland, southeast of the Eagle Pass Port of Entry. The body was recovered by Border Patrol agents along with personnel from the Eagle Pass Fire Department. A preliminary investigation at the scene by the Maverick County Sheriff's Office did not reveal any signs of foul play or violence. Justice of the Peace Dora Madera pronounced the subject deceased at 4 p.m. The subject, a 39-year-old man, had a Mexican identification card and was later identified as Mexican national. The body was turned over to a local funeral home. The Mexican Consulate was notified.
The Del Rio Border Patrol Sector is part of the South Texas Corridor, which leverages federal, state and local resources to combat transnational criminal organizations. To report suspicious activity call the Del Rio Sector's toll free number at 1-866-511-8727.
U.S. Customs and Border Protection is the unified border agency within the Department of Homeland Security charged with the management, control and protection of our nation's borders at and between the official ports of entry. CBP is charged with keeping terrorists and terrorist weapons out of the country while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws.

An experiment was conducted to study the different fermentation time and baking on phytic acid content of whole-wheat flour. Result revealed that the Ghaznavi and Fakhr-e-Sarhad contain 7.32 and 9.32% moisture, 1.50 and 1.30% ash, 9.20 and 10.68% crude protein, 1.60 and 2.00% crude fat, 2.00 and 1.60% crude fiber and 78.38 and 75.10% NFE, respectively. Phosphorus and iron content of whole-wheat flour of two cultivars were also determined, which contain 4.00, 4.32 mg 100 g-1 iron and 245, 330.5 mg 100 g-1 phosphorus respectively. Ghaznavi and Fakhr-e-Sarhad cultivars of wheat were analyzed for phytic acid composition in whole-wheat flour and bread. They contain 869.2 and 869.4 mg 100 g-1 phytic acid in whole-wheat flour. The phytic acid content of Ghaznavi for control bread (unleavened) is 752.3 mg 100 g-1 and for bread leavened for 15, 30 and 45 minutes it was 662.1, 512.1 and 280.3 mg 100 g-1. Similarly for Fakhr-e-Sarhad, phytic acid content is 751.7 mg 100 g-1 for control (unleavened) bread, 661.1 and 510.8 and 280.4 mg 100 g-1 for fermented breads (leavened) for 15, 30 and 45 min., respectively. The data indicate the higher phytic acid value for unleavened breads and lower phytic acid value at 45 min. fermented breads (leavened) of both the cultivars. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that the treatments have significant effect on the reduction of phytic acid content as compare to the varietal and interaction means, and fermentation time and baking. Data showed that treatment cultivars and their interaction significantly improved the sensory qualities such as color, taste, texture and overall acceptability. The results of this work suggest that fermentation of whole-wheat flour for 45 min. can reduce significantly the amount of phytic acid. Bread preparation from such treated flours dough will have, high nutritional impact.
Science Alert
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a mans common food and constitutes a major source of most of the diet in the developing countries including Pakistan. It is consumed primarily as a source of carbohydrate and protein but is also a potential source of minerals including trace elements. Wheat is consumed as staple diet in Pakistan and most of it is used in chapatti making and remaining is used in other products. Wheat contributes more than 60% of the total protein and calories requirements in the daily diet (Anonymous, 1986). The wheat cultivation in Pakistan has made a remarkable progress in elevating wheat per unit area as well as production (Agri. Stat. Pak., 1999-2000). The major contribution in the development is due to the introduction of new semi dwarf high yielding disease resistant and fertilizer responsive varieties. The presence of gluten protein (glaidin and glutenin) content makes the wheat unique from other cereals. When glaidin and glutenin content is hydrated they form viscoelastic dough. Consumption of fiber-rich foodstuffs usually results in elimination of alternative dietary components, which may have higher fat and or refined starch contents. Phytic acid is a hexaphosphoric acid ester of inositol present mainly in cereal grains, nuts and legumes. However, it should not be considered a phosphate source for humans. When phytic acid combines with calcium or magnesium, it forms an insoluble salt referred to as a phytin. More than 50% of the phosphorus in mature seeds is in the form of phytin. Furthermore, in the intestine phytic acid may combine with calcium, iron, zinc and magnesium, reducing their absorption (Ensminger et al., 1986). Among cereals wheat is a good source of protein, minerals and vitamins. Beside of nutritious it also contains some antinutrients i.e. phytate which is the principal source of phosphorus. Phytic acid (Inositol Hexaphosphoric Acid) is a constituent of cereal grains (1-5%) and is known to decrease the bioavailability of zinc and other trace elements to humans and monogastric animals (Oberleas et al., 1961). Phytic Acid forms complexes with divalent and trivalent metallic ions, such as Zn+2, Fe+3,Ca+2 and Cu+2, which are not absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and decrease the bioavailability of several essential elements leading to deficiency diseases (Smith and Circle, 1978). Interaction of phytate with protein, vitamins and minerals are important factors, which limit the nutritive value of these cereals.
Materials and Methods
All the work reported in this experiment was carried out in the department of food sciences and technology of NWFP Agricultural University, Peshawar. Samples of two cultivars of wheat Fakhr-e-Sarhad and Ghaznavi were collected from Agricultural University, Peshawar. The samples were thoroughly cleaned manually and then washed and sun dried. Wheat grain of each variety was tempered to 14% moisture level and allowed to stand for 24 h at room temperature. The amount of water required for tempering of wheat grain was computed according to the expression given in AACC (1983). The wheat grain was milled by using udy-cyclone, and was packed separately into polythene bags. The bags were then stored in a cool place for further processing and analytical work. The chemical analysis included moisture, ash, crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber and nitrogen free extract were performed in accordance with AOAC (1990). Iron of whole-wheat flour was determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer and whereas Phosphorus was determined Spectrophotometerically. Phytic acid was determined by means of Haug and Lantzsch (1983) procedure. Breads prepared from both cultivars according to the standard method of AACC (1983). Organoleptic Evaluations of Breads cultivars of wheat were evaluated for color, taste, texture and over all acceptability, according to the method of Matz (1960).
Results and Discussion
Wheat cultivars viz. Ghaznavi and Fakhr-e-Sarhad were analyzed for chemical composition and the data was represented in Table 1.
Analysis of the data (Table 1) revealed that both cultivars Ghaznavi and Fakhr-e-Sarhad contain 7.32 and 9.32% moisture, 1.50 and 1.30% ash, 9.20 and 10.68% crude protein, 1.60 and 2.00% crude fat, 2.00 and 1.60% crude fiber and 78.38 and 75.10% Nitrogen Free Extract (NFE), respectively. It was found that Ghaznavi has higher content of ash, crude fiber and carbohydrate than Fakhr-e-Sarhad, while crude protein, crude fat and moisture contents of Ghaznavi were lowered as compared with Fakhr-e-Sarhad. Hussain (2001) reported that wheat-whole grain flour on average contain 12.00% moisture, 10.90% protein, 1.60% fat, 1.30% fiber, 1.40% ash and 72.60% NFE. According to Janick and Kowalczyk (1967) reported the composition of rye and wheat that contain about 12% protein, 2% lipids (fat), 71-72% NFE, 2% crude fiber and 2% minerals. These results agree with those reported by Hussain (2001) and contrary to those reported by Janick and Kowalczyk (1967). This could be due to the difference in chemical composition of wheat, mainly due to genetic make up of a variety and climatic condition in which the wheat is grown (Pomeranz and Shellenberger, 1971).
Mean value of the data (Table 2) regarding phosphorus, iron and phytic acid content of whole-wheat flour of two cultivars reveled that the Ghaznavi and Fakhr-e-Sarhad contained 4.00, 4.32 mg 100 g-1 iron and 245.0, 330.5 mg 100 g-1 phosphorus respectively. These finding are closely in agreement with those reported by Hussain (2001). Mean value of the data (Table 2) reveled that phytic acid content of Ghaznavi and Fakhr-e-Sarhad cultivars were 869.4 and 869.2 mg 100 g-1 respectively. These results agree with those reported by Graf and Eaton (1990). Reddy et al. (1989) reported that phytic acid is present in the range of 1-5% of many cereals, legumes, and oil seeds.
Mean value of the data (Table 3) revealed that the phytic acid content of Ghaznavi for controlled bread (unleavened) is 752.3 mg 100 g-1 and for bread leavened for 15, 30 and 45 min. they are 662.1, 512.1 and 280.3 mg 100 g-1 respectively. Likewise, phytic acid content of Fakhr-e-Sarhad, is 751.7 mg 100 g-1 for controlled (unleavened) bread, and fermented breads (leavened) for 15, 30 and 45 min. they are 661.1, 510.8 and 280.4 mg 100 g-1, respectively. Mean values of the data (Table 3) indicate that the higher phytic acid value for unleavened breads and lower phytic acid value at 45 min. fermented breads (leavened) of both the cultivars. The results indicate significant difference at α 0.05 for both the cultivars, The treatments has significant effect on the reduction of phytic acid content as compare to the varietal and interaction means. The fermentation time and baking have significant effect on the reduction of phytic acid. These results agree with those reported by Poonam and Salil (1993) who claim reduction in phytic acid content in the processed weaning food, after mixing with locally available cereals (wheat and barley) and pulses. The results are also in agreement with those represented by Mameesh and Tomar (1993), whereas Almana (2000) observed that fermentation of soybean fortified wheat flour resulted in complete removal of phytic acid. Likewise Kelbessa et al. (1999) reported the complete removal of phytic acid upon fermentation by fortifying soy flour with wheat flour.
Whole-wheat flour breads prepared from two cultivars (controlled and fermented
breads) are evaluated organoleptically. Mean value of the score for various
parameters such as color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability are represented
in Table 4, 5, 6 and 7.
Analysis of the data (Table 4) revealed the score for color with different treatments in case of Fakhr-e-Sarhad Bread fermented for 30 min. ranks first in color, followed by Ghaznavi Bread fermented for 45, 30 and 15 min. respectively. Similar score values was also obtained for Fakhr-e-Sarhad leavened (fermented for 45 min.) and unleavened breads. The lowest values were observed for Ghaznavi unleavened breads and for Fakhr-e-Sarhad fermented at 15 min. For color the treatments and varietal effect is significant at α 0.05.
Mean values of the score of Ghaznavi Breads (whole-wheat flour) with 45 and 15 min. fermentation ranks 1st and 2nd respectively followed by Fakhr-e-Sarhad Breads with 45 min. fermentation. While breads prepared from both varieties with 30 min. fermentation ranks next, then followed by the bread made from Fakhr-e-Sarhad with 15 min. leavening and controlled, respectively. Ghaznavi unleavened bread got the lowest score for taste (Table 5). Statistical analysis showed significant result at α 0.05 for cultivars as well as treatments.
Ghaznavi Breads stands on the top in case of texture fermented with 15 and 45 min. on the basis of mean value score (Table 6), respectively. While 30 minutes fermentation got the second highest score in case of Breads of both cultivars. Control Fakhr-e-Sarhad Breads and Breads leavened for 45 and 15 min. of the two cultivars have got the same score. While control Ghaznavi Breads (whole wheat flour) ranks the lowest.
Both the cultivars were evaluated for their overall acceptability and found suitable for baking of bread (Table 7). Among the leavened breads of the both varieties the fermentation time have a significant effect on the overall acceptability. Bread of Ghaznavi fermented with 45 min. got maximum score whereas Ghaznavi Bread fermented with 15 min. was 2nd in overall acceptability, followed by Fakhr-e-Sarhad fermented with 30 min. Mean value of the score (Table 7) revealed that the Ghaznavi and Fakhr-e-Sarhad Bread rank fourth and fifth at 30 and 45 min. fermentation respectively. Leavened bread made from Fakhr-e-Sarhad at 15 min. fermentation scored the lowest, which is at par with its control. Statistical analysis of the data revealed that there was significant effect on overall acceptance of whole wheat breads. Means having same letters were non significantly different, while values having different letters were significantly different at α 0.05.
Statistical analysis of the data (Tables 4, 5,
6 and 7) indicated that there is significant
effect of baking on the organoleptic evaluation of bread prepared from whole-wheat
flour of both cultivars. The mean values of all the organoleptic evaluation
of both the cultivars are significantly different from each other at α
0.05. Analysis of the data revealed that treatment, cultivars and their interaction
significantly improved the sensory qualities such as color, taste, texture and
overall acceptability. Anuradha et al. (1999) reported that the general
appearance with or without soybean flour such as crust color, texture, taste
and flavor, the breads with or without soybean flour were well accepted. Aremu
et al. (1995) also reported the organoleptic properties of bread of wheat
flour of full fat or with defatted fermented cocoa bean powder, the organoleptic
acceptability dropped with increasing percentage of cocoa supplementation. Work
of Cardenas et al. (1993) and Abdel et al. (1993) reported high
acceptability for wheat bread, but Jan et al. (2000) reported that chapattis
(unleavened breads) had highest acceptability for sensory evaluation, which
is in contradiction with our results. This might be due to evaluation of only
unleavened bread, which he has not compared with leavened bread. Kenny et
al. (2000) worked on incorporation of dairy ingredients (dried whole and
skim milk) into wheat bread that improved the sensory characteristics of the
product. Hoseney et al. (1968) has related protein solubility and electrophoresis
studies to bread baking properties. It was shown conclusively that the water-soluble
fraction of flour is not responsible for quality differences. However the water-soluble
fraction is required to produce a normal loaf of bread. The water-soluble fractions
were found to have a dual role i.e. by contributing to gassing power, and modifying
the physical properties of the gluten. The dialyzable fraction of the water-soluble
contributed to gas production and the protein is involved in the modification
of the gluten. Flour containing high percent protein can be used for bread making,
while low percent protein flour can be used for other bakery products.

Why wellness isn't working
Wellness isn't working. My good friend, Mim Senft of Motivity Partnerships, was kind enough to share some of her findings. Think of the time we spend discussing with clients the importance of developing appropriate wellness strategies with the associated myriad of potential benefits. We research the various providers, negotiate pricing and develop implementation strategies. But medical spend in this country is not going down. Companies are seeing a big increase in prescription drug claims. More people are pre-diabetic. One could say there is an epidemic.
Also see: "The 50 biggest benefit brokerages in the large-group market."
What went wrong? No matter how good the program, tools or resources, there are two foundational pieces that need to be in place to drive a successful program:
1) Visible leadership by the C-suite, middle management and peer to peer.
2) A clear message from the company that they care about a culture of health.
Despite all the noise about individual choice, we do care about what leaders and our team at work value. We want to be connected to what those around us are involved in doing. That's why programs where leaders show up and participate have such a great impact. That's why it's important to know who the "unofficial" leaders are in your organization, the go-to people on your team. They should be part of the strategy to support engagement and positive change. Perhaps, we should refer to them as the wellness mavens.
The other foundational piece is clear, consistent and ongoing communications about the company valuing a culture of health. In our information-overloaded world, a few emails and posters about a few select programs will not get the message across. An integrated communications strategy that is focused on reaching all the cultures within your culture can make a difference in how employees engage in wellness programs.
Do your company's leaders visibly support a culture of health? Do employees know that it's important to the company? If so, congratulations. If not, you may want to evaluate what changes can be made to make your wellness programs more successful.

Gamers sometimes get a bad rap. We assume they have bad couches or those absolutely awful bean bag/rocking chair things, pizza crusts all over their busted-up coffee table, and a general funk to their place.
The nicest thing they own is their game system, right? Well, let's not be stereotypical. There are plenty of gamers who upgrade their pads, and high-tech furniture is an awesome way to step up your game.
Coffee table
How high-tech can a coffee table get, right? You might be surprised. There are coffee tables that come with plug-ins to turn the entire surface of the table into the touch-screen for your tablet.
Those are going to be a little more expensive, though. As less-expensive alternative, there are plenty of coffee tables made to look like old-school Nintendo controllers, game consoles, and so forth.
I prefer to stretch out on the couch when I'm playing my friend's PS3, but true gamers have to be comfortable and functional. There are all types of chairs out there, including futuristic-looking rocking-type chairs that come with the screens built into the structure.
Other options include cool-looking bean-bag chairs with more back support, and chairs that have built-in speakers and controller storage.
Lights are important for gamers. Some like to game in the dark to avoid those annoying reflective spots, but they need lights for when they aren't gaming, right?
Awesome options include a light inspired by Super Mario; that is, a yellow coin block hanging from the ceiling that activates when you fist bump it. Or the Halo Master Chief Helmet lamp.
Gamers tend to have a lot of gaming-related stuff, so keeping it all organized can be a challenge. For Rockband enthusiasts, there's a storage ottoman that holds the guitars and doubles as a stand for the drum kit. This makes for a great living-room centerpiece.
Buzzfeed suggests using an extra mini-fridge to store and organize games, and if that's your style, go for it!
Classic game lovers might like to have a set of Tetris shelves to store their games and consoles/controllers on, and there's a bookshelf designed like Pac-man that mounts on your wall and "eats" your TV. Which is totally awesome.
And if you're really crafty, Pinterest has a way to turn an old Nintendo 64 controller into a desk caddy that holds pens, pencils, and paper clips, and doubles as a charging dock.

Exante Diet is a very low calorie meal replacement weight loss diet that is simple to follow and is safe and effective. Rather than consuming calories from food or following a diet that seems too complicated or inconvenient Exante Diet replaces all daily meals with healthy, nutritious low calorie shakes, soups, snack bars and low calorie weight loss ready meals.
How does the Exante Diet weight loss diet plan work?
The Exante Diet weight loss diet plan offers customers a 3 a day meal replacement programme that includes shakes, snacks bars, soups and ready meals that total 600 to 1,200 calories a day and includes 100% of your Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins, minerals and nutrients. This low calorie diet (LCD) or very low calorie diet (VLCD) allows the body to reach a state of ketosis, the time at which the body uses excess fats for energy rather than using the food as the primary source of energy.
What does Exante Diet offer people looking to lose weight?
The Exante Diet allows dieters to know exactly what foods and snacks they will eat each day. Opting to replace food with meal replacements removes the misconceptions surrounding some food sources (fats and carbohydrates in particular). Also Exante Diet helps remove the temptation of eating sweet and sugary treats - the Exante Diet weight loss programme includes low calorie cereal snacks bars that will reduce your sweet tooth cravings.
With the Exante Diet users can choose between three main of weight loss diet plan options, including:
- Total Solution - a very low calorie diet (VLCD) of 600 calories per day
- Working Solution - a low calorie diet (LCD) of 1,000 calories per day
- Simple Solution - a low calorie diet (LCD) of 1,2000 calories per day
Exante Diet and intermittent fasting for weight loss
Many diet experts are suggesting that eating a calorie controlled diet for 7 days a week is hard for most people. Therefore, the theory goes, that fasting for 2 days a week (eating only 500-600 calories) and eating normally for the other 5 days has a positive effect on promoting weight loss. Exante Diet offers this option to users by encouraging them to eat regular meals for 5 days and using the very low calorie diet (VLCD) meal replacements for the other 2 days a week. Not only does this promote weight loss but this weight loss diet option allows people to be slowly introduced to Exante Diet products and spend less per month on their range of meal replacement packs.
Exante Diet online and on the smartphone
One strength of the Exante Diet weight loss diet plan is the level of support given both online and on your mobile. On the Exante web site people share their success stories as well as offer friendly support and guidance on the chat forums. Whilst on the Exante Diet app users can track their diet success and weight loss by setting weight targets, reminders and read inspirational weight loss quotes.
Does the Exante Diet weight loss and diet plan work?
The Exante Diet weight loss and diet plan is best on consuming a very low calorie diet (VLCD) or a low calorie diet (LCD) and as such means that in the short term the Exante Diet will work. The basis of the Exante Diet is that the user will go into a state of ketosis, a condition that means the body will burn excess fat for energy rather than take energy from food. Therefore, if someone sticks to the Exante Diet they will lose weight. In the long term more calories are introduced into the diet plan, which will allow people who have lost weight to maintain their target weight, making Exante Diet the perfect weight loss programme.
So, if you're looking for a rapid weight loss programme that takes the guess work out of dieting, sign up to Exante Diet and start to lose weight today!

I'm struggling to figure out what I'm missing with the order_target_percent function. When I run the following code, it seems to work correctly, oscillating between investing 100% in the ETF and 100% in cash (allowing for small amounts of extra cash because of fractional share issues etc.).
However, when I run the code with the two securities below, it sometimes "blows up," ordering stocks well in excess of 100% of the portfolio value and generating losses of almost 2000%. I had thought that the function would basically allocate a certain % of the total portfolio value between a list of securities, so I could (in theory) say order_target_percent(sid1, 0.5) on one sid and order_target_percent(sid2, 0.5) on the other and it would split the total value 50/50 between the two stocks, or alternatively say order_target_percent(sid1, 1) to put all money into that stock, or order_target_percent(sid1, 0) to sell off all interest in sid1.
Anyone know what I'm missing?

What do you do when you have an irreconcilable difference with a member of your significant other's family? It's a tough one. Because like or not, there will be occasions when you are forced to try to be civil to one another. It's either that or a potential lifetime of frosty silences and less-than-pleasant family get-togethers.

Reddit user u/shygirlturnedsassy has different ideas, however.
Instead of pretending that everything is OK and her boyfriend's uncle's misogynist behavior can be tolerated, she chose to instead go on the attack and show him that she doesn't approve and that she doesn't care what he thinks about it either.
Together with her supportive and understanding boyfriend, they hatched a plan. A plan that would make their feelings about his attitudes crystal clear, whilst making him apoplectic with impotent rage in the process.
Sometimes it's necessary to put principles ahead of family and stand your ground.
The post received applause all round, with over 50K upvotes on Reddit and a ton of positive and supportive comments. What do you think? Have you ever had to confront an awkward and unpleasant family member? How did you go about it? Let us know in the comments below!

The pressure on human rights defenders in Zimbabwe is building in the run up to the referendum. Here is in short what happened to the leaders of two civil society organisations:
On 31 January 2013, approximately one hundred persons attended the community meeting organised by ZOYP (Zimbabwe Organization For Youth In Politics) and CCDZ (Centre for Conflict Development in Zimbabwe) in the Mbizo Youth Centre in Kwekwe to discuss developments in the drafting of the country's new Constitution, including the bill of rights, before the draft is put to a referendum. During the meeting, which had been sanctioned by local police under the Public Order and Security Act, an armed group of hundreds of youths, reportedly affiliated to the ruling party ZANU PF and who identify themselves as "Al Shabab", violently disrupted the meeting and threatened the participants. [ The youths were reportedly transported to the venue by bus by ZANU PF Chairman of Mbizo, and were dressed in overalls with President Mugabe's face at the back. The youths carried heavy sticks and sang ZANU PF slogans and songs about President Mugabe, stating that whoever tries to question the President "will die like a dog".] Human rights newsletters, cameras and other materials were stolen. Police did not intervene to ensure the safety of participants, who fled the meeting in fear of their lives. Organisers of the meeting, Nkosilathi Moyo and Jasper Maposa were targeted and threatened with death by the youths, who told them that their human rights activism was an attempt to "change the regime" and that the ZANU PF-led government will eliminate them if they continued to organise similar meetings in Kwekwe.
Following threats from the youths to follow them home and fearing for their safety, Nkosilathi Moyo and Jasper Maposa (heads of ZOYP and CCDZ respectively) went into hiding and have not been able to return to their regular activities. They subsequently submitted a complaint to police. To date, no investigation has been initiated by police.
On 2 February 2013, Mr Nkosilathi Moyo and Mr Jasper Maposa, were subjected to threats to drop the charges. Around 11am, Nkosilathi Moyo received a phone call from an unidentified number threatening him and Jasper Maposa to drop the charges at the police. Later in the same day, around 3pm, Jasper Maposa received another call from an unidentified number, renewing earlier threats and saying he was "fighting a losing battle."
Front Line Defenders is concerned by the threatening phone calls against Nkosilathi Moyo and Jasper Maposa and expresses grave concern at the failure of police to intervene and fulfil its duties to provide protection to the meeting's participants.

Winter Newsletter 2016
2016 was another banner year for TokenEx. Our staff grew, our customer base expanded, but most importantly we are protecting more organizations through our platform with cloud tokenization, encryption, and fraud prevention. 2017 will experience more data breaches than we have ever seen, and organizations will be challenged in new, ever-inventive ways in securing their data environments. With TokenEx, you can rest easy with tokenization significantly reducing your risk, allowing you to focus on what it is you do best. After all, No Data, No Theft. We look forward to an amazing 2017, and we could not be more thankful for such great customers. We hope that you enjoy your holidays, and ring in the new year with joy and happiness.
'Twas the night before black Friday, When all through the web, not a malware was stirring, not even a DDoS; the security programs were functioning with care, in hopes that a cyber thief would not soon be there. The security experts were all nestled in their cubicles, while visions of coding danced in their heads; and the software architect with red bull in hand, and I in my dev. environment, had just settled our brains for a long winter's nap. When the red light began to blink, our servers began to clatter; I sprang from my laptop to see what was the matter. Away to the desktop I flew like a flash, tore open the root directory as my network crashed. The halogen lights, on the breast of buzzing, gave a luster to the room to cause my eyes some fuzzing, when, what to my wondering eyes should appear, a phishing scam that would not endear, with a malware kicker that brought out my tears, with an old security program not lively or quick, I knew in a moment it must be a hacking twit.
More rapid than eagles the courses they came, and my entire computer system, they did shame. Now FBI virus! Now, Suspicious.emit and Methbot! On Sirefef, On Loyfish, On Linux.horsepill and Ransom.Goldeneye. To the root directory infect away! Infect away all! As my red bull emptied into my mouth the wild hurricane did fly, when the malware met with an obstacle, it did not die, so up to the risk points the courses they flew, with a sleigh of scams, and the hacker, too. And then, in a twinkling, I heard in my cloud network the prancing and pawing of tokenized little hoofs.
As I drew in my head, and was turning around, down the AP wire the news of my breach did bound. It was dressed as Target, Home Depot from head to foot, all reputations were tarnished with soot; a bundle of bad press had been flung on my back, My eyes, how they twinkled! My frown was growing, while my cheeks they pinkled. How would I begin to explain the hack to my boss? For I thought we tokenized with no data to be lost. My droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow, as my computer screen turned as white as snow. The stooping of my network would soon be well known, but the identity of the malware would not be shown. I picked up the phone to reveal the bad news, but wishing this was a dream and the alarm could be met with a snooze.
If only I had tokenized my data when I had the chance, I would not be in this predicament, as this hack would be my last dance. My CTO was angered at the lack of response, for we had just paid millions and we were all at a loss. I hung up the phone and I spoke not a word, but went straight to my car to assess the absurd. If only I tokenized my data each day, I would not be looking for a new job during the holidays. For this season tokenization did matter, as I was not expecting my data security career to splatter. Never again will I not use TokenEx, as their platform is out of sight, Happy holidays to all and to all a good night!
Happy Holidays From Our Families to Yours,
TokenEx Team

Grace to me almost unbelievably
This is gonna be about me. But…if you're looking for some answers for your own life, you should keep reading. Because when it comes to needing answers, solutions, and hope, I'm just like you. My life has not been the picture of perfection. Far from it. Even though I listened to my Grandmother pray for me, when I was 13. And even though I accepted Jesus as my savior as a result…I didn't always live out a life that demonstrated God's grace to me.

For 25 years I made my living playing music. Five, six, and even seven days or nights a week. From pop to country, blues to jazz, and rock to standards I sang 'em all. And playing music helped me see a whole lot of America. I traveled from West to East and South to North and most points in between. Wouldn't trade the experience for anything.
But I would like to go back and right the wrongs.
I'm mostly an introvert. Now, you might think an introvert would never wanna stand up in front of crowds and sing. But that's not the kind of introvert I am. Playing live music gave me a way to interact with people without the commitment of time and energy needed for one-on-one relationships. And that lack of commitment spilled over into the "relationships" I had with members of the opposite sex.
Based on standards of the world, I guess you could say I was a decent looking guy. And you put that together with a better than average singing voice and you've got a combination for "getting girls" as we used to say. Before I became a full-time musician, I had two long-term (about 5 years each) relationships. And after those both took disastrous turns, I decided I'd be a "play-the-field" kinda guy.
And that's why I'm so glad for God's grace to me.
You're not gonna get a tell-all or kiss and tell story from me. Let me just say I took advantage of women. In my defense, I can honestly say I wasn't always the love 'em and leave 'em dude. In fact, I was mostly a nice guy to them. At least, when I compared myself to so many other musicians I knew and saw.
But that's where sin worked its dark magic. The more I convinced myself I wasn't like those other guys, the more I could get away with sinful behavior. But you never truly get away with it. You either pay right away, or you pay later with guilt and shame. That was me. Once I met a special girl who I didn't want to "love and leave", I knew I had been comparing myself to the world. And I realized how that comparison gave me a false view of myself. And that's where God's grace to me kicked in. It's His grace to me that enables me to see myself as I truly am.
I could've wallowed in guilt and shame for the hurt I caused those women…and myself. But I needed to realize how Jesus died to provide redemption from ALL sins. Even all of mine. My sinful nature caused Him such agony. Knowing that made me thankful He hadn't just struck me with lightning in the middle of my destructive deeds.
Grace to me inspires me to share the news of grace to you.
Whether you know it or not, you absolutely need the grace of God. You aren't rich enough, pretty enough, and definitely not good enough to ever, ever, ever go to Heaven. But you ARE created in the image and likeness of God. And He hopes you'll want to be with Him forever. In Heaven…and forever in His life-giving love.
God is merciful and patient. He's waiting for you to decide. And while He's waiting, you might be doing all kinds of things you shouldn't be doing. Believe me, I know because I've been right there with you. I still sin. Trusting Jesus to be your savior doesn't make you perfect. But trusting in Him brings His perfection into your heart and soul. His eternal life becomes your own. Now, that's grace beyond comprehension. And it's a FREE gift.
And who doesn't like free gifts?

In today's increasingly competitive food climate, it is more important than ever to protect the various intellectual property rights attaching to a brand. Therein is where the real value lies and is what distinguishes food and beverage businesses from the crowd. But what elements of a food brand and its products are in fact capable of intellectual property protection and how can this be achieved?
- Photographs: Culinary Artistic Creations?
Since imagery is often at the heart of a food brand's marketing initiative, retaining control over the dissemination of these images and preventing unauthorised use is key. Whilst the photography of static food items might not immediately be associated with creative flair, provided an image constitutes the photographer's own intellectual creation, the standard is fairly low in terms of originality. The concept of originality requires an element of skill, judgment and effort on the part of the creator. Lighting, angle, focus and framing are all relevant factors when it comes to judgment and skill. In short, if a photographer successfully puts his own unique stamp on an original photo, it is likely to attract copyright protection.
It is also worth noting that, where third parties are commissioned to undertake food photography (or any other work) for a business, the contractor will typically own all rights in their creation. This is in contrast to employees, whose work will generally belong to their employer. It is therefore vital to obtain a written assignment of intellectual property rights from commissioned contractors.
- Recipes: Lifeblood of the Brand
Signature recipes are likely to be crucial to the success of a high-end food business. They will also automatically be protected by copyright, provided they have been written down (or recorded in some other way) and are sufficiently original.
Since individual recipes are often developed from, or based on, pre-existing recipes, independent creation can be a barrier to copyright protection. That said, copyright does not require the whole work to be original. So, if a recipe is essentially a rehash of the classic British favourite shepherd's pie, the chances of protection are slim. If, on the other hand, a certain amount of skill or labour has been invested in the development of a new recipe, the contribution is likely to be sufficiently original to qualify for protection. This ultimately prevents other brands from making or selling the dish.
- Novel and Inventive Elements
Some of the more obscure food compositions, production or cooking techniques and technological advances may even be worthy of patent protection, provided they involve a novel and innovative process. In view of the hefty costs involved though, patenting is not always an attractive or practical option for food producers.
If, however, a brand has the means and opportunity to secure a patent it should consider taking advantage of this. Patents give monopoly protection for 20 years and thus make life difficult for competitors who may wish to mimic the creation. It's also vital not to publicise the invention before applying for a patent (through trade food shows, demonstrations or otherwise) as to do so risks losing the possibility of protection.
- The Brand Itself
The name and 'get up' of a product is an extremely valuable commercial asset in its own right. Trademark protection can be critical to product recognition, deterring potential copy-cats, establishing brand loyalty and generating commercial success.
Names, logos, slogans, packaging, shapes, colours and even smells are all theoretically capable of trademark protection. The shape of the vintage Coca-Cola bottle, Nestlé's slogan 'HAVE A BREAK – HAVE A KIT KAT' and the turquoise colour of the Heinz baked bean tin are all examples of protected marks.
Choosing a mark that is distinctive, rather than descriptive or generic, is one of the holy grails of trademark law. MARS for chocolate bars is a perfect example of a name that bears no relation to the product itself and cannot be deemed descriptive. Completely made up words are also a fairly safe bet.
The original appearance of food products and/or their packaging, provided they are novel and not commonplace, may also be protected by design rights. This may result from features of the lines, contours, colours, shape, texture and/or materials of the product itself, but note that mere surface decoration does not count.
- Trade Secrets
Commercially sensitive information, knowledge of which creates an advantage over market competitors, may also be protected as a trade secret. This could cover all sorts of material within the food industry, including products, recipes, techniques and methods.
Just like copyright, trade secrets do not require registration. They do, however, require strict controls over their disclosure. Essentially this means that they should only be disclosed on a 'need to know' basis and imposing an express obligation of confidence. Practically speaking, asking third parties (including employees) to sign written confidentiality agreements before disclosing any secrets to them is always a shrewd measure to take.
IP Protection: An Investment Worth Making
Failure to protect the potentially wide array of intellectual property created by luxury food sector businesses can diminish and dilute what is, or could be, a hugely reputable brand. Make sure your brand development strategy makes identifying and protecting this valuable property a fundamental priority.

Terror Laws used against Arms Protestors
13 September 2003 - SACC
Demonstrators at the London arms fair have been given permission for a full high court hearing into the legality of the police's use of anti-terrorist legislation to arrest and stop and search protesters.
Article from the Guardian
2 protestors at the London Arms Fair have been arrested under the Terrorism Act 2000. Around 35 protestors are thought to have been arrested for a variety of other offences ranging from breach of the peace, to highway obstruction and criminal damage.
Human Rights organisation Liberty is seeking a judicial review of the decision by the Metropolitan Police to use anti-terrorist legislation in this situation. Liberty solicitor Mona Arshi says
"the people in docklands are legitimate demonstrators and it is quite shocking they are being treated as potential terrorists. We will do everything in our power to protect the right of every citizen to peacefully protest."
