Gobi dumplings followed by Cauliflower Steak Chana Masala, with a pineapple-peach-meringue combo for dessert. Lunch at Akbar in Garden City?
No, just a potential midday meal at one of your local Northwell Health hospitals – and top finisher at the fifth running of the health system's Ultimate Chef Cooking Challenge.
The event, held at Glen Cove Hospital over the weekend, gathered culinary masters from 15 area facilities for an Iron Chef-styled showdown in which culinary teams were challenged to produce three courses of restaurant-quality goodness, but without the added high fat, calories or sodium. Chefs were paired with registered dieticians and interns to ensure that the meal did not top 700 calories, 15 grams of fat and 750 milligrams of sodium.
Teams were also given a "surprise protein" – halibut, shrimp, chicken, filet mignon or a vegetarian ingredient – around which to create four plates of each course: one for each of the three judges and one for presentation.
The winning team – Janisa Freysinet of North Shore University Hospital, Patricia Sobel of Northern Westchester Hosiptal and Russell Ficke of Syosset Hospital had never cooked together previously.
"The Ultimate Chef Challenge highlights how our chefs are able to inspire delicious and nutritious meals, not only for our patients but for ourselves," said Robert E. Graham, director of integrative health and wellness at Northwell, and one of the competition's judges. "We are investing in a culture of health and wellness in order to maintain a healthy work place and workforce and it starts with food," he said, adding "improving our hospital food is good medicine."
Sven Gierlinger, vice president and chief experience officer at Northwell Health – and a state-certified Bavarian chef – and Todd Daigneanult, an executive chef at Overlook Medical Center in New Jersey, completed the judging panel.
In addition to the winning chef team, the judges recognized first-place winners by course and the vegetarian category:
- First course: Frank Imbrosciano, Huntington Hospital; "Vegetarian Asian Potsticker"
- Second course: Patrick Beirne, Southside Hospital; "Pan Seared Curried Tuna"
- Third course: Russell Ficke, Syosset Hospital; "Pineapple, Peaches and Meringues"
- Vegetarian: Patricia Sobel, Northern Westchester Hospital; "Cauliflower Steak Chana Masala"
"Health system chefs and staff create over 8 million meals annually for patients, staff and visitors, which is quite a feat," said Michael Kiley, director of nutrition and food services at North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset, who organized the cook off and served as the event's emcee.
"In this competition, chefs can focus their creative talents on an original three-course meal, demonstrating that they can prepare appealing food that tastes delicious and is healthy."

The box score reflected the reality: On Sunday night, the Quakers never had a shot.
Penn Soccer fell 3-0 to No. 23 Temple at Rhodes Field on Sunday night, dropping to 0-4-1 on the season. The Red and Blue failed to put a single shot on goal, and only thrice did they even send the ball in Temple goalie Alex Cagle's general direction.
Instead, they spent far more time tapping the ball back to their own goalie, senior Nick Savino, in an attempt to reset their listless offense. The Owls, however, charged towards Savino with more malice, with star junior Jorge Gomez Sanchez putting a hat trick past the Penn keeper.
Savino did come up with four saves, including a seemingly impossible stop in the second half on a shot that had Temple's bench celebrating, certain that the ball had found the back of the net.
The Quakers held level with Temple (6-0-1) for the first third of the game, but Gomez Sanchez took advantage of a Penn turnover in the 32nd minute to give the Owls a lead they would never relinquish. Gomez struck again shortly after the intermission at 48:17, and again in the 57th minute to put the game out of reach.
However, it might be fair to say the game was out of reach after the first goal. The Quakers have scored only a single goal in five games, and Penn's impressive performance in the season opener — a scoreless draw against No. 7 Washington — seems to have been a sign of things to come, for all the wrong reasons.
"When you're going through a streak like this, it starts to affect your mentality. It starts to affect your confidence," coach Rudy Fuller said. "If that affects how we prepare, how we play, that's our fault."
But Fuller pointed out that the offense wasn't his squad's only issue in the defeat.
"You can talk all you want about the attack, but you're not going to win many games when you give up three goals."
And ultimately, the loss falls on the entire squad.
"Everybody has to do their job. It's not like we have a defensive team and an attacking team," Fuller added. "Everybody defends, everybody attacks. Just because [Gomez Sanchez] scored three goals, that's not the fault of the back four, that's the fault of everybody on the field.
"Just because we're not scoring goals, it isn't the fault of [senior attacker] Alec Neumann, it's the fault of the 11 guys on the field."
Penn did wake up to some extent on the offensive end in the dying minutes of the game, putting more pressure on the Temple defense, sending some balls into the box and earning a corner.
"Towards the end of the game we started believing and trying to push," Neumann said. "I think that showed, and I think if we can do that for 90 minutes, we'll start to get results."
"That was certainly a positive," Fuller added. "It was something we had talked about at halftime: trying to get more numbers forward."
Of course, it was far too little and too late, and if Penn did gain any momentum at the end of the game, it will be very hard to maintain. The Quakers' next test is a Wednesday matchup with No. 13 Penn State at Rhodes Field.Comments powered by Disqus

As a first time initiative the Parish Priest, Rev Fr Peter Thumma, and the parishioners of the Shrine of Our Lady of Light have endeavored to start "Spoken English" classes within the parish. This is to address a very real need of the underprivileged parishioners and also the people living in the neighborhood. The classes are free of charge.
The classes commenced on 2nd May 2016 and ended on 12th May 2016. The day starts at 9am with a prayer and action song and finishes at 1pm. Post graduate students from the English department of Stella Maris College are the teachers who are helping us teach the students. Around 50 students have registered. They have been put into batches of Stds 5, 6 & 7, Stds 8 & 9, Stds 10, 11 & 12 and a group of adults.
The long term goal is to make this an ongoing programme within the parish and without, so that children or adults, as the case may, be would not be found lacking eligibility, just because they do not have the English language speaking skills.

University of Basel is the oldest Swiss university with a full range of subjects covered in teaching and research. The Department Biozentrum combines 30 independent groups that cover a wide range of molecular biology subjects such as Infection Biology, Neurobiology, Growth and Development, Biophysics and Structural Biology, and Computational and Systems Biology.
The Bumann lab focuses on Systems Biology of Infection and coordinates the RTD project "BattleX" involving 6 widely recognized partners that together investigate host/pathogen interactions (funded by the Swiss Initiative for Systems Biology SystemsX with CHF 5.0 Mio).
Role: Within this collaboration the experimental group (i) purifies Salmonella from infected mouse tissues using flow cytometry (FACS), (ii) determines absolute in vivo copy numbers for porins and efflux pumps using shot-gun and targeted proteomics approaches (mass spectrometry-based), and (iii) generates mutants with altered porin and efflux pump expression. The computational team combines these data with kinetic parameters for porins and efflux pumps as determined by the other partners to obtain a quantitative and predictive computational model for envelope permeability.
Key facilities and infrastructure: UBS has state-of-the art equipment and extensive expertise for pathogen purification from infected rodent tissues (using FACSsorting), and proteome analysis of the purified samples using shot-gun mass spectrometry. This includes a four-laser sorter equipped for BSL2 aerosol management to ensure safety of operating personnel; several Orbitrap-Velos mass spectrometers with very high mass accuracy and excellent sensitivity; sophisticated software packages for protein identification and absolute quantification. The equipment is operated by especially trained specialist personnel. In addition, fully equipped microbiology labs are available for cultivation under various conditions including various levels of hypoxia.

Coalition goes missing on key small business
LAST year when I asked NAB Special Banking Services head Geoff Green why the bank had assured me it did not recommend business advisor Mawson to the struggling Walton Construction when emails clearly showed me it had, he answered a mistake had been made.
It had also been a mistake the bank failed for five months to retrieve vehicles which it financed for Walton but were passed onto phoenix company Peloton which took over Walton's assets, projects, premises and staff when the company went into receivership in October 2013. By that stage the last of NAB's $20million exposure to Walton had been retrieved by the bank.
Subcontractors and other creditors were left owed around $80million. A subsequent public inquiry saw, under oath, Walton sole director Craig Walton and a plethora of accountants, business advisors and bank officials show a common inability to remember events in which they were intricately involved. At one point this collective amnesia left Mr Walton even unable to recall who his accountant was at the time he was presumably losing everything.
There has also been a Senate Inquiry into construction industry insolvency which heard evidence in five states and looked closely at circumstances around the Walton collapse before last December handing down 44 recommendations to improve subcontractor security of payment.
In this 2016 federal election campaign Labor, the Greens, the Nick Xenophon Team and Queensland Senator Glenn Lazarus have all committed to national security of payment legislation for subcontractors.
The Coalition won't respond to the seven-month-old report unless it is re-elected to government. Meanwhile it continues to sell itself as the champion of small business, 200,000 of whom employ two million Australians working in the construction sector and do 85% of the work.
The sector represents one quarter of all Australian small business. Yet the Coalition's focus remains solely on the unions and the creation of an Australian Building and Construction Commission.
Union practices may be a problem in the sector but they aren't what keep small business people on the Coast and across Australia awake at night.
Labor announced yesterday if elected it will support national security of payment legislation and trial project bank accounts to stop principal contractors using as cashflow money paid by a client for work done and material supplied to their project.
The Australian Securities and Investment Commission told the senate inquiry there was an emerging business model which saw companies obtain pre-insolvency advice on how to restructure their business to be able to avoid paying creditors in the period leading up to administration. The advice was often provided by former insolvency practitioners previously suspended from practice for misconduct.
The Senate found the current legal framework inadequate to deal with phoenixing. It said the industry was being beset by a growing culture where some company directors considered compliance with the Corporations law optional, "because the consequences of non-compliance are so mild and the likelihood that unlawful conduct will be detected is so low".
In the case of Walton there is clear evidence the bank, the company's accountants, Mr Walton himself and ultimately Mawsons and Deloitte were all well aware of the builder's difficulties many months before it folded. It continued to trade, however, until the bank retrieved its exposure and Walton's assets were transferred to the phoenix company first known as Peloton but then Tantallon which also later went into liquidation.
Those left holding Walton's debts, people who also lost their businesses, their homes and in cases their families, were apparently expendable. One witness to the Senate inquiry likened the culture to a battlefield, where subcontractors get mowed down and fresh bodies are just poured in.
The construction industry accounts for between 8-10% of GDP and around the same proportion of total employment but is also responsible for between 20-25% of all insolvencies.
Walton Queensland was a tenant of Altum, a fundraising arm of the LNP, who it paid more than $430,000 in rent in the year it collapsed and more than $1million between 2009 and 2013.
Again emails show that while subbies were left holding air Altum managed to retrieve what it was owed including that demanded by the lease penalty clauses.

On the buses
Bah - tube strikes are not a good thing. I left the house at 9am this morning, but didn't get into the office until 12:15. That's 15 minutes to walk to Hammersmith bus station, then half an hour waiting in the queue (which stretched 3/4 of the way round the building), 2 1/4 hours on the bus itself, and 15 min walk up the hill at the end. I felt sorry for people waiting at bus stops - they had no chance of getting on the bus, when there was that big a queue at the start of the journey. It's supposed to be a 24 hour strike, i.e. finishing at 8pm tonight, but according to the Evening Standard, that ain't gonna happen. So, another late evening by the time I get home. Oh well, I suppose I've had my quote of good luck for the week, so I can't complain too much. Still, I don't have much sympathy for the strikers. Personally, the only unions I've ever joined have been student unions - DSU and NUS, and I have never gone on strike from any of my jobs.

We sampled Notts' newest Indian street food establishment...
Kar-O-Bar, the new addition to Hockley's Goose Gate, offers the chance to sample the type of food you might find while backpacking through India. Serving only tapas-sized portions, diners are invited to order various morsels in order to experience a host of delights both hot and cold.
In addition to the street food, Kar-O-Bar offers a selection of craft beers, both local and global. Font's delicately citric Grapefruit IPA was in, so I opted for that; fruity pale beers are a favourite when it comes to spicy food.
I went around lunchtime, and it was pretty quiet, but it just meant that the service was all the speedier. As you walk in, the decor is charming with the brightly coloured Bollywood memorabilia of yesteryear holding a nice aesthetic. Plus, the picnic benches naturally add a social element to the meal.
The little dishes are brought out three or four at a time: the fish amritsari fritters were perfectly seasoned with chat masala and weren't overdone, as is sometimes the way with fried fish; there was some delicious, tangy sauce in the desi-style chicken curry, which went well with the warmth of the potato vada. There was more than enough for two people, and it all came in at under ten pounds each.
We had a couple more summery, refreshing dishes, including the pani puri; one of the most famous items on the menu. The little tamarind-drizzled bulbs of wheat were sweet, tangy and had a rewarding crunch, working well with the soft potato, the chickpea filling and the mint and coriander garnish.
In all, Kar-O-Bar is a relatively well-priced place for a quick snack and a drink, or a leisurely banquet, sampling a host of flavours from across India.

Dear Friends,
As I was thinking about what is unique about St. Camillus Campus, one thing that came to my mind was the challenge and opportunities that the coronavirus presents. As we face this epidemic, we encounter so many people that are able to put aside their own interest to help others. They decided to put their life on hold to help and serve. It makes a big difference, creating an environment where everybody can succeed. We want to let you know how much we appreciate all that you are doing.
We now face a significant threat and, as you know, we went through other difficulties in the past and we overcame them, mostly not because of individual action but because we worked as a team. That is what I am experiencing here at St. Camillus Campus; a team working hard in order to better serve our residents, staff, and families.
We are thankful for your amazing commitment, hard work, professionalism and dedication. We cannot imagine a greater privilege than leading an organization with such incredible accomplishments and inspirational people. Thank you for working to exceed the high standards we set for ourselves and your efforts to work together so we can stay true to our mission.
I hope that we can use this as a learning opportunity to foster the best qualities each of us possess. We will continue to pray – especially to understand what it means to "love your neighbor" as Jesus taught us. St. Camillus led us to understand this commandment of love with his own life and the legacy of treating each other as we would treat Jesus Himself. That is what makes St. Camillus Campus unique and special.
May Jesus, the Divine Healer, bless you all and give you strength to carry this beautiful mission of Healing the Sick. May all your family and loved ones be blessed abundantly.
Fr. Pedro Tramontin, Provincial Delegate and President
* The picture is of Jesus the Healer


text: I have seen you, muse, in your gilded cage, the iron bars and patterned glass through which you watch the world. You are safe within that cell, or so at least you've convinced yourself to justify the years already wasted in limbo. At least inside the only monsters which can reach you are those of your own devising, the uncertainties and miseries come to plague you nightly. Still, surely you must hear the note of longing in your voice? Sense the tugging of your songs to slip between the bars and ride free upon the wind? You think you need the safety of the cage, yet even I can see how your restless wings shiver in longing for the sky. If I were to unlock that door, open wide your cage, would you burst from your confines and take to the air or would you crouch down on your perch, more afraid of the unknown without than the familiarity of imprisonment? I promise you, dear one, there is beauty and wonder beyond those bars like nothing you could ever imagine. Danger as well, yes, and heartache, but is the gain not worth that struggle? You need not venture forth alone; see, I will sit here just beyond the open door and wait until you step over the threshold so we may go hand in hand into the wide world.

On 100 days of Modi 2.0, Congress mocks BJP govt, says 'Tyranny, chaos and anarchy'
New Delhi, Sep 08: The Congress party on Sunday launched a scathing attack on the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government as it completed 100 days in office in its second term.
Lashing out at the ruling party, the grand old party said that three words that describe the first 100 days of BJP 2.0 - tyranny, chaos and anarchy
Targeting the BJP on its slogan 'Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas', the Congress accused the government of not undertaking any development work in the country.
In a video uploaded on its Twitter account, the party listed out 100 points, on which, it said, the BJP government had failed. Highlighted in the video were issues like unemployment, water crisis, dilution of RTI, UAPA, GDP, ongoing economic slowdown, arrests of journalists, Sonbhadra killings, bank frauds, lynchings, crashing of Sensex, falling rupee, J&K bifurcation, mishandling of NRC etc.
At Rohtak, Modi thanks 130 cr Indians for inspiring change in 100 days
On the economic slowdown, it said that eight sectors have recorded a growth rate below 2% and Finance Minister still refuses to accept that the economy is in free fall. It added that a steep fall in GDP is a direct result of the government's ignorance and gross mismanagement of economy.
Further, the video also took a jibe at his appearance in the popular adventure show 'Man vs Wild', which was shot in Uttarakhand's Jim Corbett Park. The Pulwama suicide attack took place while the episode was being shot and the PM was accused of continuing with the shoot despite being informed of the attack.
On arrests of senior Congress leaders like P Chidambaram and DK Shivakumar, the party called it 'BJP Politics 101: When all else fails, arrest high profile opposition leaders.' On mob lynchings, the party said that it had greatly damaged India's fraternity.
The Modi government on September 7 completed 100 days in the office after coming back to power with a brute majority in the general elections held in April-May this year. While the BJP won 303 seats, the Congress was restricted to just 52 seats.

University of Botswana Professor Yanev's Research Generates Global Interest
A journal article titled Design and Analysis of a Robust Accurate Speed Control System by Applying a Digital Compensator, published by Associate Professor in Control and Instrumentation Engineering in the Department Electrical Engineering in 2016 continues to draw huge global interest.
Professor Kamen Yanev published his article in a high profile USA journal of Automatic Control and System Engineering in 2016, a journal with an ISI Impact Factor of 1.632.
The publication earned Professor Yanev Gold Membership of the Academic Community of International Congress for Global Science and Technology (ICGST), USA in 2016. Since then, the number of researchers visiting the Gold Member page for the article has been rising steadily, growing the University of Botswana's international profile in the process.
The research article presents a strategy for analysis and design of a digital robust control system for accurate speed control of a DC motor. The case presented in the research demonstrates a control system that regulates the speed of an electrical DC motor.
Speaking at a public seminar on the subject at UB Conference Centre on March 30, 2017, Professor Yanev said there were three new suggested methods in the article: detection of the motor's speed, determining control system stability and robust control design. "The methods are recognised internationally as innovations, contributing to a control theory and beneficial for the practical implementation," said Professor Yanev.
The research paper is a culmination of continuing research which began in 2006. So far, the research has resulted in 24 publications, of which 16 are international journal publications, while the rest are international conference papers and presentations. The research has been published in the USA, Italy, Germany, Canada, Botswana and India.
"One of the contributions of this research is the innovative solution ofthe incorporation of a DC motor into a Wheatstone bridge that operates as a Wheatstone Speed-to-Voltage Converter (WSVC)," Professor Yanev said during the lecture.
He also explained that another contribution was in the advancement of the D-Partitioning method as a stability analysis tool in the application for digital robust nonlinear control systems. In this instance, Professor Yanev expanded the initial ideas of Neimark to a Method of Advanced D-Partitioning as a stability analysis tool.
"The principle of the Advanced D-Partitioning analysis is recognized internationally as an innovation contributing to control theory and is useful for application in real life control systems. It contributes to knowledge, since it is the only method of stability analysis that illustrates graphically the images of regions of stability and instability and can be applied to linear, digital or non-linear control systems," added Professor Yanev.
He also said that the third major contribution of the research was the suggested strategy for the design of an optimal robust controller. Professor Yanev said the system could become robust, or independent of parameter variations, if a digital robust controller, based on microcontrollers was implemented. Professor Yanev also suggests a number of unique successive steps for the design of optimal digital robust controller.
He observed that the effect and contribution of his research was enormous since the application of DC motors was still irreplaceable for elevators, cranes, air compressors, vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, drills, remote gates operation and electric trains, where constant speed at high and a variable torque was essential.

Indian-American lawmakers join women's march
Washington: All the five Indian-Americans elected to the US Congress have joined the Women's March to protest against new US President Donald Trump's alleged anti-women policies.
Kamala Harris, the first Indian-American Senator, was among the several Democratic Senators to address a massive crowd in Washington.
"We all know the truth: If you are a woman trying to raise a family, you know that a good-paying job is a women's issue," she said.
"We know that it is right for this nation to prioritise women s issues," she added.
In her home State of California, protest marches were held in several cities including Los Angeles.
"They can take the House, Senate, and White House, but they cannot take away our power. What an extraordinary day," she said.
"Let's make today a beginning. Let's buckle in, because it's going to be a bumpy ride," Harris said adding that the Womens March really made her believe in the possibilities of the country, with people of all backgrounds united for justice.
Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal said this is what a movement looks like.
"Can't see the end of the crowds from stage," she said.
"I am so proud to be an immigrant woman, in solidarity with all women and men today," she added.
Jayapal had boycotted Trump s inauguration on Friday.
Congressman Ami Bera said any discussion of women's rights must include access to safe and affordable health care, including reproductive care.
"We must continue the struggle for women s equality at home and abroad. Gender should never be a barrier to success," Bera said.
"In America, respect for the rights of all women and girls must always be one of our core national values," Bera said.
In Chicago, Raja Krishnamoorthi addressed a strong crowd of 150,000.
"Today's march was about people from every walk of life coming together to declare their support for the rights of women and all Americans. Women's rights are human rights," he said.

Murdertown: Hitman Trailer Explores Sunny Sapienza
"That's a nice swimming pool; I could drown someone in there. What a cute caffetteria on the plaza; I wonder if I can poison its coffee. Ooh, golf; I bet I can bash someone's head in with that golf bat. Hmm boats; might I chop someone up with their propellers?"
A video showing off a sunny Mediterranean town takes on a sinister tone when it's from Hitman [official site]. It's more than sightseeing: this is here to remind us that the next sandbox stealth-o-murder simulator is supposed to offer larger levels than its predecessor, the disappointing Absolution, and with more freedom. See:
Aye, sure, that definitely seems more interesting than Absolution. Interesting options and unexpected opportunities are what makes Hitman run, rather than necessarily sheer size, but Adam's time with Hitman suggests it may have both. The level he played was set during a fashion show in Paris, where he found:
"Within the large building in which the fashion show is being held, there are backstage areas with electrical equipment to tamper with, gas heaters on balconies that could prove that smoking kills, and death from above can come in the form of light rigs and chandeliers. There are foodstuffs to poison, towers to snipe from, fireworks to cause distractions, NPCs with schedules to follow, and numerous ways to smuggle weapons into restricted areas.
"If every area in the game is as thick with potential subplots and experimental 'accidents', Hitman will be a rich game."
The first slice of Hitman will arrive in March 2016, having recently been delayed. I say "the first slice" because it'll only have half of the game's locations (Paris, Sapienza and Marrakesh). Each month through June, they'll add a new location with new missions, and all along support it with temporary 'live events' like one-off assassinations. It'll be sold several ways: $60 for the full game with new bits as they're added, $35 for the initial three-location 'Intro Pack', and $30 to upgrade the Intro Pack to the full thing. Publishers Square Enix swear blind it's not an episodic or early access game, but it seems a bit of both to me.

Can a kiss transmit Gonorrhea?
"Will a simple kiss give you Gonorrhea?" a question that's bothering you so you came searching for answers. When it comes to our modern habits, this is a valid question, and you are right to be concerned.
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted infection/disease (STD). From the acronym STD, Gonorrhea is transmitted by having unprotected vaginal, anal or oral, sex with a person who already has the infection. Vaginal fluids and semen help spread the infection, but unlike getting pregnant you can get Gonorrhea even if ejaculation did not happen.
Oral sex is also one of the means Gonorrhea can be transmitted between partners. This is an explicit warning that engaging in oral sex, (either receiving or giving oral sex) with someone with Gonorrhea, can result in your acquiring a Gonorrhea infection. Be aware that although the bacteria causing the infection are transmitted by semen and vaginal fluids of infected persons. The infection can also affect the mouth, throat, and eyes, not only the urethra, genitals, and anus. Repeat infection is also possible, even when a previous diagnosis was already eradicated by completing an antibiotic course for Gonorrhea treatment.
Pregnant women who have Gonorrhea can pass Gonorrhea on to their baby during childbirth. Gonorrhea infection can result in eye, joint, or blood infections. Gonococcal conjunctivitis is the most common manifestation of Gonorrhea transmitted during childbirth. Redness, swelling, and pus typically begin to appear 2 to 4 days after birth, when a baby has contacted Gonorrhea from the mother.
Gonorrhea transmission requires body fluids to transmit the bacteria that cause the infection. So it goes to say that a casual physical contact will not expose you to possible infection. Hugs, hand holding, sneeze, sharing of food or toilet seats are not mediums for the transmissions of the Gonorrhea bacteria.
Although saliva is also considered body fluid, no documented cases ever were known to anybody contracting Gonorrhea from kissing someone with a Gonorrhea throat infection. So there is your answer, you cannot get Gonorrhea from kissing.
There were only a few documented cases of Gonorrhea eye infection in adults. As an adult, the infection comes from touching the eyes with hands that touched infected semen or vaginal fluids.
Basically, what is Gonorrhea?
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmitted disease (STD), the infection of which is caused by the bacteria Neisseria Gonorrhoeae and affects both women and men. The bacteria typically target the mucous membranes, which generally are tissues that are moist, soft and not covered by an outer layer of skin. As a result, the eyes (the lining of the eyelid), mouth or throat are a few of the spots where the Gonorrhea bacteria are found, in addition to the vagina, cervix, Fallopian tubes, uterus, urethra, and rectum where the bacteria are usually present in a person with the infection.
Symptoms of oral Gonorrhea infection
Gonorrhea infection like any other sexually transmitted infections doesn't usually show symptoms. Reports range from the majority of those with the infection to 40% of women and 10% of men show no symptoms. However, even in its early stages, it is already possible to spread Gonorrhea infection. The infection or the symptoms if any at all usually appear or become visible after one or two weeks of having sex with a Gonorrhea infected partner.
How Gonorrhea appears or present in men vary in many ways with how the infection appears or present in women, the most commonly reported signs are burning and painful sensation when urinating and abnormal vaginal, penile and anal discharges that may be green, yellow, or white. Another symptom is dysuria, which is also a common symptom with other STDs and one of the most critical sign to get tested. Fever, abdominal pain, pain during sex, painful periods, bleeding between periods for women. For men, some of the less common symptoms are pain or swelling of either or both testicles. The anus can be also get infected with abnormal discharge, bleeding, and rectal pain as the most visible Gonorrhea symptoms.
Symptoms of oral Gonorrhea or Gonorrhea infection in the mouth, throat, or eyes appear differently, However, it is also common for these types of infection to show no symptoms.
Oral, throat or eye Gonorrhea infection symptoms include:
- Swollen, painful, or burning glands in the throat
- Mild to severe sore throat or difficulty swallowing
- Conjunctivitis, which is an itchy, red, slightly swollen eyes, which sometimes is accompanied by a sensitivity to light or pus.
Factors that increase chances of Gonorrhea infection
Although Gonorrhea is not transmitted by just making casual skin to skin contact, there are typical factors or behaviors that increase your chances of contracting the infection:
- Preference of having sex with multiple sexual partners, especially with partners that you don't know well. One night stand increases your chances of getting exposed to an infected person and contracted STDs.
- Engaging in unprotected sex with partners who have Gonorrhea. Using condoms can reduce your risk of contracting an STD, but don't remove the risk 100%. If you notice some symptoms regardless of whether you used a condom the last time you engaged in sex, don't be inattentive to them, get yourself tested the soonest you can.
- If you are a young adult (younger than 25 years old) and you only have a single, permanent partner with whom you regularly have unprotected sex, this practice also increases your risk. You don't know or your partner will not likely tell you if he/she is having sex with others exposing her/him to the possibility of infection. When you notice some worrying signs, then get yourself to the nearest STD testing center near you or get yourself tested with an STD home testing kit.
- Previous history of an STD diagnosis. Having already contracted one type of STD will weaken your immunity against these types of infection. Your body's susceptibility to contracting another STD is increased, particularly HIV/AIDS.

The transit or passage of a planet across the face of the Sun is a relatively rare occurrence. As seen from Earth, only transits of Mercury and Venus are possible. On average, there are 13 transits of Mercury each century. In contrast, transits of Venus occur in pairs with more than a century separating each pair.
The last Venus transit was in 2004 so the second event of the pair will occur on Wednesday, June 6 (Tuesday, June 5 from the Western Hemisphere). The entire event will be widely visible from the western Pacific, eastern Asia and eastern Australia as shown in Figure 1. Most of North and Central America, and northern South America will witness the beginning of the transit (on June 5) but the Sun will set before the event ends. Similarly, observers in Europe, western and central Asia, eastern Africa and western Australia will see the end of the event since the transit will already be in progress at sunrise from those locations.
Tomorrow I will bring in my telescope and have it set up in the RA-11 parking lot for anyone that wants to witness the event.
Stop on by and experience the last Venus transit for 105 years (I think it's safe to say the last one in our lifetime (2117)).
For Northern Hemisphere locations above latitude ~67° north, all of the transit is visible regardless of the longitude. Northern Canada and all of Alaska will also see the entire event. Residents of Iceland are in a unique wedge-shaped part of the path (Region X in Figure 1). They will see both the start and end of the transit but the Sun will set for a short period around greatest transit. A similarly shaped region exists south of Australia (Region Y in Figure 1), but here, the Sun rises after the transit begins and sets before the event ends.
The principal events occurring during a transit are conveniently characterized by contacts, analogous to the contacts of an annular solar eclipse. The transit begins with contact I, the instant the planet's disk is externally tangent to the Sun. Shortly after contact I, the planet can be seen as a small notch along the solar limb. The entire disk of the planet is first seen at contact II when the planet is internally tangent to the Sun. Over the course of several hours, the silhouetted planet slowly traverses the solar disk. At contact III, the planet reaches the opposite limb and once again is internally tangent to the Sun. Finally, the transit ends at contact IV when the planet's limb is externally tangent to the Sun. Contacts I and II define the phase called ingress while contacts III and IV are known as egress. Position angles for Venus at each contact are measured counterclockwise from the north point on the Sun's disk.
Table 1
Geocentric Phases of the 2012 Transit of Venus
Event Universal Mountain Position
Time Time Angle
Contact I 22:09:38 4:09:38 41°
Contact II 22:27:34 4:27:34 38°
Greatest 01:29:36 7:29:36 345°
Contact III 04:31:39 10:31:39 293°
Contact IV 04:49:35 10:49:35 290°
Table 1 gives the geocentric times of major events during the transit. Greatest transit is the instant when Venus passes closest to the Sun's center (i.e. - minimum separation).
I added the Mountain Time Zone to Table 1. First Contact begins at 4:09:38 p.m. and because the sun sets at 8:24 p.m. (a bit earlier because of the mountains) the total transit is not visible.
During the 2012 transit, Venus's minimum separation from the Sun is 554 arc-seconds (During the 2004 transit, the minimum separation was 627 arc-seconds). The position angle is defined as the direction of Venus with respect to the center of the Sun's disk, measured counterclockwise from the celestial north point on the Sun. Figure 2 shows the path of Venus across the Sun's disk and the scale gives the Universal Time of Venus's position at any point during the transit. The celestial coordinates of the Sun and Venus are provided at greatest transit as well as the times of the major contacts.
Note that these times are for an observer at Earth's center. The actual contact times for any given observer may differ by up to ±7 minutes. This is due to effects of parallax since Venus's 58 arc-second diameter disk may be shifted up to 30 arc-seconds from its geocentric coordinates depending on the observer's exact position on Earth. Table 2 and Table 3 list predicted contact times and corresponding altitudes of the Sun for locations throughout Canada and the United States, respectively.

Mummy and Me – April 2019
My idea has been to take at least one photo a week, every week of the year of my son and I together.
Week 14
A trip down to London saw us trying out an electric boat on the Regents Canal.
Week 15
I took my son to Bucks Railway Centre for a few hours so we could get a local annual pass sorted out. He didn't share his ice cream!
It's been a stressful week and my birthday was a non event for one reason and another. So the next day we headed off to our happy place to get away from the real world for a while.
Week 16
We headed to Hazelborough Wood to see the bluebells with my brother and SIL. A much-needed distraction for us right now.
Week 17
Taking photos hasn't been top of the agenda this week, but we did manage to remember one day this week.
Have you taken any photos with your kids this month?

A blog looking at how boaters can help prevent the waterways from being polluted by oil, and what to do if you see what appears to be an oil or fuel spill.
All our waterways are vulnerable to pollution, from small, accidental spills to major problems causing significant environmental damage. Around 300 pollution incidents are reported to us every year, usually costing between £50 and £50,000 each to resolve.
Fortunately, incidents such as the shocking quantities of oil that ran into the River Lee early in 2018 are not common, but there are many more smaller incidents which can be equally damaging to the environment. Most of these incidents are preventable and whilst boaters were not the cause of the River Lee incident, they still have a vital part to play.
Your priority as a boater in preventing pollution should be to keep your boat's fuel and oil out of the water. Both are toxic to fish and other aquatic life; even small quantities can cause lasting problems for wildlife.
We really appreciate boaters being our eyes and ears. With such a large network of canals and rivers we can't be everywhere all of the time, so you're a great help by spotting anything wrong on the waterways.
Water pollution incidents are categorised 1 to 4 according to their impact on the environment, people and/or property. They're both an environment and health & safety hazard and require a correct and timely response appropriate to the amount of pollution observed.
We have a Memorandum of Understanding with the Environment Agency (EA) when it comes to dealing with pollution incidents. Our policy is to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the waterway and protection of the environment, whilst maintaining compliance with relevant legislation, and maximising opportunities for cost recovery.
A major or significant category 1 or 2 spill will see the EA lead on the investigation and remediation of the pollution. We assist the EA in managing the incident and cleaning up. In a minor category 3 or 4 incident, for instance where someone has pumped out oily bilge water, we are in charge of the response. The simple rule of thumb is that if it's a big incident, the EA are in charge, if it's small then we are.
So, what should you do if you spot a spill and how will we deal with it?
Cleaning up after a spill
When you call us, we're going to need the following information:
If it looks like a serious problem or emergency, call the EA Incident Hotline on 0800 807060 at any time of day or night. If it's out of office hours and it looks urgent you can also call our out of hours emergency number 0800 47 999 47. Please be aware that we will make a judgement based on the severity of the incident and it is not always appropriate for an on-duty staff member to respond directly to you.
Anything other than major please call 03030 404040 during normal working hours or report via our website.
We do not have staff trained to handle animals that have been affected by pollution. If you see an animal or bird in distress do report it to the RSPB, the RSPCA or in the case of swans, to a specialist swan rescue organisation if there's one in your area.
You'll find more information and advice on preventing pollution from The Green Blue and Environment Agency.

The Return of the Elder Race & Opening the Gateway of the Fifth Kingdom. Nefertiti, reportedly 'a princess from a foreign country' became married to Akhenaton.
By VICTORIA LEPAGE René Guénon's assertion, culled from ancient esoteric sources, that in the remote past humanity's first civilisation arose in the ice-free Arctic zone is not without geological support. According to the well-known researcher J.S. Gordon, "there is no scientific doubt that the polar ice caps have melted and reformed many, many times over and that this has always affected human society (plus animal and plant species), often catastrophically."1 He points out that the great Ice Age that lasted about two million years, ending about twelve thousand years ago, was made up of thirty or so minor Ice Ages, with warm intervals of polar deglaciation in between them, each creating periods of thousands of years of temperate conditions at the poles.
The Resonance Project Foundation - Home. New Ancient Mayan Artifacts Discovered – Amazing UFOs - Blogs - Alien UFOs. The Mexican Government Reveals Mayan Documents Proving Extraterrestrial Contact. The reality of extraterrestrial contact with human civilization is becoming more clear by the month as streams of information about the extraterrestrial presence and past influence hits.
While some of us still have our doubts about ET contact, many are starting to realize the truth that has been talked about for centuries. One big story involves the Mexican government who has released documents and images of objects found on the site of Calakmul, Mexico which help prove the reality of ET contact. Thanks for this release can be given to the National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) who found these fascinating disks in Mexico. The 10,000 year-old Sumerian space maps, dictated by ET Homo Sapiens from Planet Nibiru. Excerpt from "Anunnaki: legacy of the Gods, techno-savvy ET s from the Planet Nibiru who came for gold, created us from their genome to work the mines, posed as Gods, decided to let us drown, but then decided to breed us to work for them."
Sumerians' rocket route maps and clay tablets show planets past eye-range. The Sumerians wrote that giant people, whom the Sumerians called "Anunnaki" or Those-Descended-from-the-Sky, said they came from the planet Nibiru 450,000 years ago. The Nibirans were 7-12 foot-tall Homo Sapiens goldminers who came mine Earth's gold. Clay tablet in the ruins of the Royal Library at Nineva shows how to go through inner solar system.
In Andy Lloyd's scenario, their planet, Nibiru, revolves around Nemesis, Solaris' binary dark dwarfstar; this, from the perspective of Earth, is as far from Earth as Nibiru goes. Sumerians lacked telescopes and couldn't see Uranus' and Neptune's orbits the route maps show. Mayan et contact. (Before It's News) WoW!
Mexican Government Releases Mayan Relics Proving Extraterrestrial Contact!?! For those who still had doubts in regards to extraterrestrial contact with our ancient civilizations, this time could not be more clear! Vimanas. Golden Age of Gaia. 5,000-Year-Old Flying Machine May Have Been Found. Apparently this video dates back to Feb. 2011 but DiscloseTV seems to have just mounted it to Youtube.
It appeared earlier on Youtube in another account. Allegations are being made that an ancient vimana or flying machine, 5,000 years old, has been found in a cave in Afghanistan. World leaders have been ferried to the cave, reportedly, which leads George Noory and Steve Quayle to discuss many aspects of the black world of secrecy. Discernment is advised. There will not be the sequestering of the flying machine if it exists; we're too late in the game for that. The "worst case scenario" will not be happening. One correction: Steve calls Shiva "the destroyer" in the video, which is a simplistic understanding of "his" role.
Vimana Vimāna is a word with several meanings ranging from temple or palace to mythological flying machines described in Sanskrit epics. According to Hindu Yogis, it is this "laghima" which enables a person to levitate. Very Curious Ancient Reptilian Humanoid Figure Discovered In Mexico. MessageToEagle.com - We can neither confirm nor disapprove the validity of this reptilian-looking humanoid, but the images are so curious that we decided to share them with our readers.

The Dropa (or Dzopa) stones. A photograph alleged to show one of the 'Dropa stones' A number of publications, particularly on the Ancient Astronaut end of the Bad Archaeology scale, have repeated a story about some stones said to have been found in caves at Bayan Kara Ula in western China.
The story became known in the west principally through Erich von Däniken's second and third books, Return to the Stars and Gold of the Gods, although it appeared first in Robert Charroux's work and has since become a staple of ufological literature. The Bayan Kara Ula (Bayan Kara Shan or Bayan Har Shan) region (around 97°E 34°N), in Qinghai (Tsinghai) and Sichuan Provinces, contains the sources of the Tontian He (Yangtse Kiang) and Za Qu (Mekong) Rivers and until relatively recently, it was very isolated.

Local cyclists endorse bike path plan
Story by Alisa Howlett
Brian Ferguson has covered every inch of Belleville on his bike.
"This summer and spring, I actually spent like $500 on mobile internet charges and countless hours out on my bike, laying down Google Map bike routes," Ferguson said. "Anyone can edit Google Maps now, it's subject to peer review. I went in and changed all the biking directions. So now if you ask for directions it takes you on all these side streets. You hardly see like three cars your entire trip. It's great."
Ferguson was among those who attended the second of three open houses yesterday evening at the Quinte Sports and Wellness Centre. The city encouraged the public to provide feedback on the new transportation master plan. The plan is revisited every 20 years and focuses on city transportation, such as roadways, bicycle paths, and sidewalks.
He even takes into account changes in elevation, blind spots on corners, traffic density, and the general attitude and safety of a neighborhood before he contributes to the bike route maps, he said.
Bike enthusiasts at the open house said the city needs better bike routes, primarily that run east-west.
"Dundas, the extreme west and the extreme east end, it's a death trap. And you have to take those routes if you work at Stream or HGS," Ferguson said. "Hundreds of people do work there and there's no other way to get there. Especially Stream, you literally have to take Dundas to get there and people treat it like a highway. I mean, it is a highway, and people treat it that way."
More cyclist-motorist education was also a topic of concern.
Robert Jakes, a member of Belleville on Bikes, an activist group geared towards promoting cycling in the city, sits on the stakeholders committee for the master plan. The committee is made up of nine individuals that represent a cross-section of the city that discuss ideas related to transportation. Once the project is underway, Jakes would like the public to be educated on matters of alternative transportation.
"There are a lot of times when I'm riding along and a car will just squeeze right by. Apparently their schedule is more important than my life," he said. "Part of the whole process will be education for everyone."
Ferguson has also had close calls with vehicle traffic.
"While most drivers respect you, it only takes one idiot to clip you. They only have to hit your elbow and that can be fatal. Spin around, fly up in the air, and then get hit by the next car. I have seen some accidents like that and cars are unyielding," he said.
The cost of the project is estimated around $20 million. Some citizens were concerned about the increase in tax dollars and said the city could make minor changes that would be cost effective and benefit transportation.
Joanne Jenkins is a local who started cycling for many different reasons.
"At first it was for exercise, and then it became spiritual, emotional, physical well being. And then I saved money on gas and insurance and got ride of my car," she said.
Jenkins is one of many concerned about the safety of cyclists and the cost of the project. She suggested a low-cost three-foot painted laneway for cyclists.
While a lot of people rely on cycling for economic and health reasons, there are still many that enjoy it recreationally. With the new proposed bike lanes, some recreational cyclists have even considered converting.
Seventy-one year old Ann Crabb and her cycling partner, 78-year-old Bruce McHugh, do not ride on the road because they say it is unsafe. However, they are still interested in cycling lanes and may give them a try when they are in place.
"We cycle three to four times a week. It's not just occasional, it's part of our lifestyle. Just to keep healthy and fun," Crabb said. "We tend not to cycle very much in the city because the cycling trails are short and maybe not as safe. So it's interesting that they're thinking of adding cycling lanes. That would be nice."
Lack of bicycle lanes throughout the city is not just a problem specific to Belleville. Ray Ford, manager of engineering with the city of Belleville, said it is an issue that many cities have to adapt to or have recently already done so.
Ford welcomes the public input.
"This is to identify and prioritize the needs for the road network for that 20 years. For instance, if developing doesn't proceed as quickly as we might have thought, maybe some of the projects identified don't need to be done as soon," he said. "Or if development proceeds quicker than we thought, then maybe we bring some of those projects forward quicker."
It wasn't all negative feedback. Many people said they were pleased with the destination bike trails and roads already in place.
"We've been living in this area for over 30 years and it's a great area. We really like Belleville. I love the waterfront path. I use it all the time and bring visitors there. It's just a great place. So if we can make it better then why not?" said Jenkins.
Ferguson also agrees that in-town is beautiful. He would just like to see more alternative routes that are safer.
The city has partnered with Morrison Hershfield, a firm based in Toronto that assists cities in regards to transportation. Jennifer Armstrong, transportation planner with Morrison Hershfield, was available at the open house to answer questions.
"There is a lot of interest in building a cycling network in Belleville," she said. "A lot of people I have been talking to tonight have had suggestions for how to make it easier to cycle in Belleville. Most of the people I have been speaking to have been keen on improving the cycling conditions."
Surveys were available for open house attendees to fill out. Based on the feedback the city will tweak the existing plan. There will be another open house scheduled for this fall followed by a final recommendation.

Jefferies Sees An Attractive Entry Point for Carlyle, Upgrades To Buy
One analyst is impressed with The Carlyle Group LP (NASDAQ: CG)'s strong year of performance and fund raising.
The Analyst
Jefferies analyst Gerald O'Hara upgraded Carlyle Group from Hold to Buy and increased his price target from $23 to $27.
The Thesis
Improving fee-related earnings, or FRE, outlook, stable-to-diversifying segment revenue contribution and the $100 billion fundraising cycle underway could benefit Carlyle, O'Hara said in a note. The analyst expects the pending $22 billion in fee paying AUM rolling on to drive FRE to over $85 million per quarter on a run-rate basis, exiting 2018.
Incentive income, which has a high correlation with the stock price, according to the analyst, is positioned to trend up from the year-ago levels of $1.7 billion. This is especially positive as all current vintage draw down funds are above hurdles but not yet taking cash carry.
Despite growing private equity AUM at 36 percent organic growth rate compared to an industry average of 29 percent over the last 12-month period, O'Hara noted Carlyle trades at a nearly two-turn discount to the group.
"We anticipate a growing net perf. fee balance and sight lines for an additional $50B over the next two years will help narrow that gap," O'Hara said.
Jefferies estimates for 2018 and 2019 are 14 percent and 12 percent above consensus, respectively. Amid the strong performance and capital formation trends, Jefferies sees an attractive entry point for Carlyle.
The Price Action
Carlyle's shares are up about 45 percent over the past year.

Jeff and I made the journey to Atlanta to pick up the Jensen with new motor from Judson Manning, our Lotus 907 engine guru. Judson rebuilt the motor after I did bad things to it outlined here:
Judson put this motor together and fixed a few of the issues with oiling, adapters, lines, etc. that caused the last failure. I think we'll be in business this time around, at least as far as the motor is concerned.
We were able to use Judson's GA tag from his road going Jensen to have a few spins around the block in the race car. In fact, I have some rather crude video of Jeff driving as well as some pictures I'll download off the camera and post.
Anyhow, with a street muffler setup the car drove very well! Motor was smooth, as smooth as a 907 is going to be. Power is good I think. Pulls decently to about 4k, and then pulls really strongly from about 4.5k to around 6.5k-7k, at least strong for a 4V 2L.
We were able to run it back to back against Judson's 2.2L car with Delortos and Supra 5 speed (which is an EXCELLENT modification) and it was really interesting. Judson's motor definitely has more poke in the 3k-4.5k range or so, but from about 4 to 4.5k on up to red line both cars behave identically, which is a very nice suprise considering all the press the 2.2L cars get.
Judson feels in this RPM range the head is limited and I agree with him, although our minor port work on the race motor might have allowed us to equal the larger displacement 2.2L. Anyhow, they both drove very nicely and I'd prefer a 2.2L except for those pesky rules....but a well assembled 2L with Strombergs can get the job done.
We've got more work to do though. We feel we'll pick up some more power on the race motor as we've not optimized timing and A/F on the dyno and we're running a street muffler. Carbs need to be gone through carefully (but we're keeping the Super Secret Racer ModTM) with everything setup just so. We really don't know much about the dizzy advance curve and our initial timing is set at a conservative 10 degrees, so, there is some power there unless we're just lucky out of the box.
From our exhaust gas probes fitted on #1 and #3 we know that we're running a tad to rich, which also hurts power a little. Work on these a little bit and see what can be done here. All work for the coming months!
Judson has built a very good motor and I'm very encouraged by what we've seen so far. My race partner Jeff was really excited about the power as we're been concerned that the car might not hold its own in ITS given some of the other iron in the class. I think if we can eek out a little more juice from it we'll be good to go.-
Anyhow, it has been a long road on this car, very long indeed.
