Frequently Asked Questions - What To Do

Urgent Plumber: FAQ

Help, I have a plumbing emergency!

What should you do when you discover a plumbing catastrophe? Safety first! If you find water anywhere close to electrical outlets or appliances, the very first thing is to turn off the power at the switchboard. Then, attempt to minimise any more leaking or flooding.

If there is still water leaking, turn off the tap to the appliance or fixture if possible, or go immediately to the main water valve for your property. If you’re unable to locate a main valve to turn off, then you could try turning on all the cold taps inside and outside your house to depressurise the system and minimise the leak.

Once you have stopped the problem from growing, give our emergency plumber a call, any hour of the day or night. They’ll be there rapidly to resolve the problem.

While you wait for our plumber to arrive, start mopping up any water, position a bucket to catch any drips, and clear away valuable items from the area. If the mains water is turned off, then also switch off the heating for the hot water.

I don’t know where the main water tap is!

The primary shutoff valve will normally be on the border of the property near the road. It is usually set into the ground underneath a blue or black plastic cover.

Remember, a lot of appliances and fixtures have their own isolating taps as well.

Blocked Drains Problems

Our North Beach on call plumbers understand that a clogged pipe can be a major health risk that needs fixing immediately. That is why we provide our urgent plumbing service.

A obstructed pipe is a major problem, especially when it involves sewage. If you’re lucky, you can unclog it yourself using a plunger. However if you can’t, you need assistance fast. Let’s face it, a blocked or overflowing toilet or sewer is something none of us ever wish to lay eyes on, or smell!

Whether the toilet is overflowing, the sink won’t drain, or your stormwater drain is flooding the garden, we’ll arrive at your home quickly to solve the problem. Our highly trained plumbers will get the water flowing where it is meant to go and tidy up the mess.

With our well equipped vehicles, we have all we need available to fix almost all drain blockages right then and there. If there is an underlying problem that needs extra equipment or parts, we can usually put a temporary solution in place to keep you going until the final repairs are finished.

I have a plunger, can I unclog it myself?

We endorse trying to clear simple obstructions with a plunger if you have one. However, if you don't have a plunger, or it doesn't clear the obstruction, we don't recommend chemicals as they rarely do a good job, and may even cause more damage to the drains.

Do not let clogged drains ruin your day. Call our on call North Beach emergency plumbers right away!

Don't Go Without Hot Water

Hot Water System Problems

We usually take having hot water for granted, until it isn’t working correctly. Time to put muddy kids in the shower? Need a good soak to defrost following a wintery day? Have a pile of of dishes to finish off? It’s awkward to have a proper wash up when the water is not hot.

If the hot water is not up to standard, you want it fixed as fast as possible. From blown elements, to unreliable thermostats, to leaking cylinders, our team has seen it all and can quickly identify the problem and get it fixed.

Did you know about 30% of the average home power bill powers the hot water heating? A leak can rapidly send your power bill through the roof. Leaks can also cause a lot of damage to your home and to things stored in the hot water cupboard. Do not let hot water disasters empty your pocket, get them repaired as fast as possible.

When you find the water is too cold or hot, or there is a leak in the hot water system, call our North Beach urgent plumbers immediately. We will get your hot water flowing again promptly. If there is a large amount of water leaking, turn the water off at the mains tap, and also turn off the heating element, until our plumbers arrive.

If your cylinder isn’t able to be overhauled, our reliable team can assist in picking the most suitable solution for your household needs, budget and area. If the whole system is aged and deteriorating, our plumbers can organise upgrades at a time that works for you as well.

Urgent Plumbers Ready

Burst Pipes Fixed Promptly

From the little fresh water pipes in the walls and roof, to the large sewage pipes in the ground, the majority of the pipes in your house are tucked away out of sight and out of mind. You never even remember them until there’s a problem.

Once there is an issue though, it’s the most imperative thought in your mind. A leak or burst pipe can be worrying stuff, and you need it fixed immediately to prevent damage to your house, your possessions and even your well-being.

When you locate a leak or burst pipe, get hold of our urgent plumbers as soon as possible. Our team are waiting to help North Beach residents right away. While you are waiting for our plumber to get there, it may help to turn off the water to the property.

How did the pipe burst?

There are a range of reasons why pipes and taps can burst. If you reside in a extremely cold location, the pipes may have iced up and ruptured. They might simply be aged and dilapidated. The pipes might not have been adequately sealed in the first place. Tree roots may force open subterranean junctions.

When they are at your home, our emergency plumber will identify the problem and rapidly fix the leak or burst pipe. They can also evaluate the rest of the pipes if required to look for other issues.

From Tap Washers to Full Replacements

Tap Problems Fixed

Do you own a defective faucet? A tap that drips in the night, leaks or maybe is doing an impression of a geyser?

Many clients over the years have mentioned how irritating it can be to live with a dripping or broken faucet. You may not even be aware of the drip during the day, but in the small hours when it is echoing throughout the house like tapdancing elephants, suddenly it is a sigificant problem.

It is not just frustrating drips though. Leaks may push up the water bill, and also your power bill if it is hot water. And, if water is leaking into the cabinetry or onto the floor and causing damage, that negligible tap leak can end up causing a lot of expensive damage.

Whether you simply want a washer, or an entire new faucet, our on call plumbers have the parts that you need. All the vans are fully stocked with parts and have a small selection of replacement taps and faucets for you to select from if required. If we don’t have the faucet you need, we can put in a temporary tap until we find what you want.

As well as serving North Beach with urgent plumbing of all types, our plumbers are available for general maintenance and installation work. Day or night, no job is too extensive or minor.

How can I stop the dripping noise temporarily so I can get some peace and quiet?

If the drip is not bad enough to be worth repairing right this moment, you can put a folded tea towel or sponge underneath it to minimise the noise. Or knot some twine around the faucet aerator long enough to touch the base of the sink, so that the drips run down instead of falling.

Grilled Fish Tacos with Fresh Mango | In My Home

I’ll be honest. I’ve reached the very end of pregnancy, which means making dinner is an every day battle. I could eat a bowl of cereal with fruit, but there’s a sense of guilt when I don’t actually make a meal for us to eat. And on occasion when I get that sudden burst of energy (aka, nesting), I’ll pull out the camera and photograph the food to share a recipe. That didn’t happen here. What did happen was an instagram picture that was quite the hit, so here I am to give you the easiest fish taco recipe you’ll ever find!

Awhile back, I was at Costco and scored wild Pollock burgers, so my freezer is full of them.  It’s a wild white fish from Alaska that is extremely mild in taste, very similar to cod or halibut. I’ve chopped them up over rice with teriyaki sauce and fresh pineapple for a hawaiian fish bowl, but on this particular night…fish tacos it was! I simply sauteed them in the pan with a little olive oil and chili powder. When they were crispy on the outside and warmed thoroughly, I chopped them up and used them as the filling for our tacos!

Complete with an easy tangy coleslaw, fresh mango, pickled cucumbers and cilantro…it was perfect and I felt like a champion, because dinner took under 10 minutes!!

So for all you new mommies, wives who want to wow your husbands with a looks-fancier-than-it-is dinner, this is it! ;)

Wild Pollock Burgers with Tangy Slaw and Fresh Mango | Serves 2-3

4 frozen fish burgers (I used wild Pollock, but you can use salmon or mahi mahi, cod or halibut)

Pinch of chili powder

Pinch of garlic powder

Cook the fish burgers in a pan with olive oil according to package. When crispy and warmed thoroughly, sprinkle with chili powder and garlic and chop into large chunks.

For the coleslaw:

2 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced

3-4  large carrots, finely chopped

1 TBS white vinegar

2/3 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp sugar

salt + pepper, according to taste

In a large bowl, combine the cabbage and carrots. In another bowl, whisk together remaining ingredients and pour over vegetables. Let rest for 5-10 minutes so the flavors combine!

For the pickled cucumbers:

1 cucumber, thinly sliced

1/2 cup white vinegar

salt + pepper

In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients and let rest for 5-10 minutes

1 large mango, finely diced

1 bunch cilantro, chopped

Corn tortillas

To assemble your tacos, start with corn tortillas and fill with the chopped fish and top with the coleslaw, pickled cucumbers, mango and cilantro! Easy as that!

Public health intervention

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
  (Redirected from Health intervention)
Jump to navigation Jump to search

A public health intervention is any effort or policy that attempts to improve mental and physical health on a population level. Public health interventions may be run by a variety of organizations, including governmental health departments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). Common types of interventions include screening programs,[1] vaccination,[2] food and water supplementation, and health promotion. Common issues that are the subject of public health interventions include obesity,[3] drug, tobacco, and alcohol use,[4] and the spread of infectious disease, e.g. HIV.[5]

A policy may meet the criteria of a public health intervention if it prevents disease on both the individual and community level and has a positive impact on public health.[6]

Health interventions may be run by a variety of organizations, including health departments and private organizations. Such interventions can operate at various scales, such as on a global, country, or community level. The whole population can be reached via websites, audio/video messages and other mass media, or specific groups can be affected by administrative action, such as increasing the provision of healthy food at schools.

Screening refers to the practice of testing a set of individuals who meet a certain criteria (such as age, sex, or sexual activity) for a disease or disorder. Many forms of screening are public health interventions. For example, mothers are routinely screened for HIV and Hepatitis B during pregnancy. Detection during pregnancy can prevent maternal transmission of the disease during childbirth.[7]

Vaccination programs are one of the most effective and common types of public health interventions. Typically programs may be in the form of recommendations or run by governmental health departments or nationalised health care systems. For instance, in the U.S., the Center for Disease Control decides on a vaccination schedule, and most private health insurers cover these vaccinations. In the UK, the NHS both decides and implements vaccination protocols. NGOs also may be involved in funding or implementing vaccination programs; for instance Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation assists governments in Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan with the administration of polio vaccination.[8]

Supplementation of food or water of nutrients can reduce vitamin deficiency and other diseases. Supplementation may be required by law or voluntary. Some examples of interventions include:

Interventions intended to change the behaviour of individuals can be especially challenging. One such form is health promotion, where education and media may be used to promote healthy behaviours, such as eating healthy foods (to prevent obesity), using condoms (to prevent the transmission of STDs), or stopping open defecation in developing countries (see for example in India the campaign Swachh Bharat Mission).

The use of laws to criminalise certain behaviours can also be considered a public health intervention, such as mandatory vaccination programs[13][14] and criminalisation of HIV transmission.[15][16][17] However, such measures are typically controversial, particularly in the case of HIV criminalisation where there is evidence it may be counter productive.[15][16][17] Laws which tax certain unhealthy products may also be effective, although also not without controversy, and are sometimes called a "sin tax". Examples include the taxation of tobacco products in the U.S. and New Zealand,[18] and sugared drinks in the UK.[19]

Evaluating efficacy[edit]

Evaluating and predicting the efficacy of a public health intervention, as well as calculating cost effectiveness, is essential. An intervention should ideally lower morbidity and mortality. Several systematic protocols exist to assist developing such interventions, such as Intervention Mapping.[20]

Gardening at an angle

If you think your garden has some challenges with slope, consider this picture. This is quite a typical Rwandan farm. I put it at about 45 degrees.

Rulindo District farm. Click photo to enlarge.

The photo below is another view — rather hazy, I’m afraid — of the most common Rwandan landscape type, a patchwork of small farms on a hillside. This is in the northwest, in Rubavu District.

Typical Rwandan patchwork quilt of small farms.

Why all those people are walking down the road will be the subject of tomorrow’s post.

4 thoughts on “Gardening at an angle

    1. It’s not at all uncommon. Rwanda does not seem to have had the custom of terracing, like many other hilly countries. The Belgiums introduced the practice somewhat, and now the government and some agriculture NGOs are encouraging it, as well.

For long-distance truckers using compressed natural gas (CNG) for fuel, Kansas can be a black hole of sorts. Along a stretch of about 540 miles from Topeka in eastern Kansas to Denver in central Colorado, there’s no CNG fueling station open to the public.

Crossing that CNG-less expanse can be dicey, and it illustrates one of the obstacles to substituting cleaner-burning natural gas for dirty diesel: There’s not always a station nearby when you need one.

However, it looks like this particular gap is going to be filled. The U.S. Department of Energy recently awarded a $3.8 million grant to the Metro Energy Center in Kansas City and Clean Cities organizations in Kansas City and central Kansas. The grant will, among other things, provide funds to add CNG fueling pumps to truck stops in a couple of locations along Interstate 70 in central and western Kansas.

Long-distance trucks “can get almost anywhere on CNG now,” said Kelly Gilbert, the Metro Energy Center’s transportation director. “But they don’t necessarily want to take the extra eight hours to get there. They’re looking for the shortest route possible.”

That’s typically the interstate, but along the less-populated stretch through central and western Kansas, trucks have been known on occasion to run out of CNG and require a tow, she said. It can be a very close call. A truck that can make it from Topeka to Denver on a calm day might not make it on a windy one, she said, explaining that, “The wind is a major factor in fuel efficiency. … We just need to make sure those stations are there.”

Price stability, fewer emissions

Gilbert said she expects pumps will be installed no later than 2019, and possibly by late 2018. The locations haven’t been determined, but Goodland, Wakeeney and Salina in Kansas are likely candidates, she said.

Owners of diesel-fueled truck fleets made a dash to convert to natural gas three or four years ago when the price of diesel shot up to nearly $4 a gallon, said Dan Bowerson, director of technology and development for NGVAmerica, an industry association for natural gas fuels.

Compressed natural gas at the time was selling for about $2 a gallon, as it is today. Price stability is one of the benefits of CNG. The difference in price is not as wide now, with diesel selling for about $2.50 a gallon.

Compressed natural gas also generates fewer greenhouse gases, according to the federal Department of Energy. It estimates that over a lifetime, including the fuel-production phase, a natural-gas powered car emits between 6 and 11 percent fewer greenhouse gases than one powered by gasoline.

However, its pollution profile improves considerably if the fuel incorporates some renewable gas that can be refined from methane that results naturally from the breakdown of organic wastes in landfills and at agricultural operations. In fact, according to Bowerson, many natural-gas powered trash trucks fuel up at their local landfill, where rotting garbage provides them with almost-free methane.

CNG has been embraced by a number of companies that move products long distances, including FedEx, UPS, Anheuser-Busch, Frito-Lay, Coca-Cola and pork-producer Seaboard Foods. As the prices of diesel and gasoline have relaxed, however, the rush has slowed, Bowerson said.

Fueling infrastructure also has been a factor in that.

“We’re at over 1,700 filling stations across the country, but I’d say we need more,” Bowerson said. “Along interstates definitely would be beneficial. There’s some uncertainty. You have to plan your route. Trucking companies have to make sure they can find a filling station. If we had more stations along interstates, it would allow an increase in fleets converting to natural gas.”

Altenew Vintage Roses Tripple Layered Card

Vintage rose 1

Vintage rose 2

Vintage rose 3

Aloha Guy!

Today I’m sharing with you guys this card I made for Tupelo Designs LLC using Alte New Vintage Roses.  This is also a layering stamp set that has multiple layers to create this stunning painterly look.  This is an Awesome stamp set to have because it does all the work for you, all you need to do is stamp and there is your masterpiece.  This stamp set was designed really well for stampers made by stampers, so they knew exactly how to create this stunning effect.

Today’s Card is basically layering and Stampining.  I have 3 pieces of white card stock measuring

Large- 3 7/8×5 1/8

Medium 4 1/2×3 1/4

Small 2 5/8×3 5/8

I have 3 pieces of Black card stock

Lage 4x 5 1/4

Medium 4 5/8 x3 3/8

Small 2 3/4×3 3/4

With the 3 White pieces, line it up in the center, making sure that all sides are even.  Then go ahead and stamp out your flowers and the leaves with all the layers.  Press firmly since you’re stamping on 3 card stocks at once.  You’ll need to make a mask for the flowers that will be over lapping as well as for the leaves. After all the stamping is done, I also used the same sentiment from the same set and stamped it out using Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink and embossed it with Clear embossing powder.  I thought the top of the card panel looked empty so I also pulled out the Painted Butterflies set and stamped a small butterfly at the top left corner above the sentiment.

Attach the white card stock the coordinating black card stock leaving about 1/16th of a border all around each piece.  My card base today is Neenah 110lb. Card stock which I cut it as a A2 size card panel.  I attached all the components together, using foam adhesive for the top 2 layers.  I also added some pearls and clear wink of stella for the last finishing touches.  I do have a full Tutorial on my youtube channel if you’d like to check that out.  I hope you enjoyed this card and please subscribe and follow for more inspirations and ideas.  All the supplies I used will be listed below for your convenience. Thank you so much for stopping by and Much Mahalo

NEW Treatment for Headaches (Migrane) and Giddiness (Vertigo, Meniers disease)

It has been established that Migrane and Meniers disease have many features in common. Recently found evidence for close association of taste, headache and giddiness is used in our Centre to help patients. We also utilise variations in neural hearing levels (B.C.Thresholds), eye flickerings (Nystagmus) and swaying while standing with eyes shut (Romberg) to determine treatment.

Using safe drugs used for many decades in neurology for other conditions and mixing them with drugs that control sodium and water metabolism we help you to achieve good control of headache and vertigo. For drug resistant patients we also help with out patient surgical procedures (Intra tympanic treatment – ITT, Lb section) and also more extensive operations (Endo lymphatic sac surgery).

Content Creation in Later Life: Reconsidering older adults' digital participation and inclusion

Lookup NU author(s): Arlind Reuter, Professor Thomas Scharf, Dr Jan Smeddinck

This is the authors' accepted manuscript of an article that has been published in its final definitive form by ACM , 2021.

For re-use rights please refer to the publisher's terms and conditions.

In increasingly digitalised societies, government initiatives to ensure that public services remain accessible for everyone typically focus on the digital inclusion of older adults. However, by solely viewing older adults as passive recipients or consumers of services, digital inclusion strategies under-emphasise the concept of digital participation. Highlighting the importance of older adults as active contributors in a digital society, we investigated the potential of content creation to increase older adults’ digital skills whilst also strengthening their digital participation. Through a workshop and interviews involving three different groups of older content producers, we show that content creation can stimulate older adults’ digital participation. We report on challenges faced by the content creators, including time constraints, lack of professional support and the preference to create content collaboratively.

If the glycosidic linkage occurs between two monosac-

an a-glycosidic linkage between Ci of one residue and C
ofthe other residue [designated a (l -> 4)]. In maltose, the
second sugar residue has an unsubstituted anomeric car-
bon atom and therefore can function as a reducing agent as
well as exhibit mutarotation. In

Group Influence Assignment

Group Influence

From the very first days of life the individual interacts with various groups. The person not only feels the group influence but gets the information about the outside world through this influence. With the growing complexity of the world and society, a group effect on the individual is increasing steadily. A group is not a homogeneous mass; there are people of different levels of development, with different knowledge and skills. According to Myers (2010) a group is two or more people who, for longer than a few moments, interact with and influence one another and perceive one another as us (p. 268). Communication within a group can have both positive and negative consequences. Sometimes great successes can be achieved when work is done by a group, and sometimes the results are exactly opposing and lead to a great failure. The group not only helps a person to survive and improve the professional skills, it changes the behavior of an individual. Turning the individual into the member of the group changes a person, often making him/her markedly different from what he/she was out of the group. The group influence is obvious when examined practically. This paper is to tell about an observation of a group discussion, notice the processes happening when discussing a subject of matter, and make conclusions on the group influence over an individual based on the observation.

The group to be discussed consists of students aged between 18 and 23, from different backgrounds. There are 9 people: 3 men and 6 women. Two women are African Americans; others are Americans. The meeting was held in a childrens home, in the assembly hall. The members of the group were sitting near the stage and on it, relatively close to each other. The purpose of the meeting was the organization of a holiday for children. The holiday was not associated with a calendar holiday or a holy day; it was supposed to entertain children. The group aimed to give them little presents and pay attention to them. This was a long-term group since there were many meetings and holidays organized for children by them, and this is the feature of a long term group (Arrow, 1997). All members of the group share one philosophy everyone, who needs help, should receive it. One of the team members said that children at childrens houses have no parental care, and the group is trying to give children at least part of attention that should be paid to every child.

The meeting was organized to discuss an item on the agenda, which contained several steps to be made in order to create a great and memorable holiday. It was necessary to decorate the hall, make a script of the whole holiday, prepare various prizes, create a small dramatic performance, and prepare background music. Taking into account the experience of the group, the purpose was relatively easy and supposed to take a little time. However, the usual meeting was complicated by the presence of an observer (me) and new member integration into the team.

There was no strong leader of the group; every member had his/her own role and duty; thus, the real purpose of the meeting was listening to the reports of members on their assignments. However, the new member was lost and did not know her role in the organization process (Zarnoth & Sniezek, 1997). In addition, my presence was influencing the group behavior. After the meeting, one of the members said that usually they have a calm conversation, lasting for about 50-60 minutes. This time the discussion was loud, with several arguments, and took about 2 hours. It can be supposed that the presence of an observer made the team members wonder how they are evaluated (Myer, 2010). Thus, people began to show they are the best in their assignments, every member told his duty was the most important one, and several people began to act like leaders causing the arguments.

The discussed group is the example of a successful brainstorming since the individual brainstorming over each duty was held (Myer, 2010). This group was usually acting as a single organism, but in my presence it changed its usual behavior. According to members, each of them has his own assignment that is consistent with overall conception of the event they are planning. The conception is usually chosen after on-line discussion of it. The group has the list of the topics they are choosing one by one, so the arguments on the topic of the event are absent. Thus, the work on the team is professionally organized; people have similar ideas and world view. The group influence was very noticeable when considering a new member of a team. She did not take part in the discussion since she had no assignment; her task was simply to observe and try to put her ideas for the holiday. Here, it can be said that the girl felt lost since such activity was not dominant for her. Thus, her activity was diminished due to the complexity of the task she was required to do (Myer, 2010).

Furthermore, taking into account the long-term character of the group, it can be pointed out that at this particular meeting the interaction was between the group and a new member, and the group and the observer. In the first case, the group was trying to make a new girl adhere to group norms, to impose their views on a person (Arrow, 1997). This person can be called deindividuated since the girl had her own ideas, but they were destructed under the influence of the group norm. In particular, she proposed her holiday topic, but, as it was said earlier, the topic was chosen from the list. In addition, the group demonstrated overconfidence in its judgments, norms and plans due to the appearance of the new member (Zarnoth & Sniezek, 1997). It can be said that the group overestimate their might and right (Myer, 2010, p. 292).

In the second case, the group was trying to assure the observer (me) that their efforts to make the childrens life better are collective and they have the best plan and best ideas concerning this plan. It can be considered as the groupthink (Myer, 2010). In addition, by ensuring the uniqueness of the group, they were trying to prevent me from critiquing their groupthink. It can be also said that in this particular case, the groupthink hindered the group decisions since they tried to make a good impression on the observer taking into account that their actions were dominant. In addition, the observer was alone, and the group contained nine members (Myer, 2010).

In conclusion, the discussed group demonstrates all the characteristic features of the group, such as the number of members and the pattern of behavior. It should be pointed out that in the presence of an observer, the internal norms of the group and its behavior as a whole changed similarly to the behavior of the individual of the group. In addition, deindividuation was observed towards the new group member, which is also the typical feature of the group. In can be said that the group highly influences the individual and changes his/her behavior and habits. It is especially subjected to the long-term groups and their new members.

Free ebook -Machine Learning in the Cloud

Machine learning ebook

Data is the raw material for machine learning. Find out how to use machine learning in the cloud with the data you already have.

Executive Overview

“Machine learning” is a term that we hear virtually everywhere
today. Everyone, it seems, is getting into it, and for good reason.
Companies are gaining competitive advantage, delivering better cus‐
tomer experiences, increasing revenue, reacting more swiftly to
market shifts—all by applying machine-learning techniques and
technologies to the data they already possess.
But challenges abound as well. Data scientists with the necessary know-how are scarce, and they sometimes work in organizational silos rather than in collaboration with other stakeholders in the technical and business groups. It can be difficult to integrate
machine-learning models with existing or new applications or pro‐
cesses. And a host of security issues in this area have yet to be resolved.
In this report, we go over the types of real-world applications for machine learning that are delivering successes today. We review the benefits and challenges alike of deploying machine learning. We also explain why most organizations are currently implementing their machine-learning projects in the cloud. And we provide you with a list of best practices that early adopters have found useful in their
machine-learning deployments.

Introduction: The Data Opportunity

Think of all the data that is collectively accumulating across different
areas of the enterprise. Terabytes and terabytes of it. Just imagine if
you could really put this data to work for you.

Imagine predicting with an extraordinary degree of accuracy how
much of Product A you’ll sell next quarter. Knowing exactly which
customers will deliver the highest lifetime value. Identifying and fix‐
ing inefficiencies in your back-office operations.
This is all possible if you are taking advantage of your data effec‐
tively, and if you are—to use the latest vocabulary—data-driven. But recent research by NewVantage Partners finds that most large companies are experiencing problems getting there. A full 69% of IT
professionals surveyed said they have failed to create data-driven
organizations. Worse, we’re apparently heading in the wrong direction. The percentage of organizations calling themselves “data-driven” has actually declined annually in recent years—from 37.1%
in 2017 to 32.4% in 2018, and down to 31.0% in the latest survey.

Machine learning promises to reverse this negative trend. An
increasingly popular technology that falls under the broad umbrella
of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning is predicted by
McKinsey Global Institute to create an additional $2.6 trillion in
value by 2020 in marketing and sales, and up to $2 trillion in value for manufacturing and supply-chain planning activities. If you haven’t started experimenting with machine learning to tame your data, you could quickly fall behind the curve. In the next section, we give some real-world examples of how machine learning is already yielding often hefty returns on investment (ROI) to companies.

Machine Learning Solves Real-World Problems

Machine learning is paying off for early adopters. A full 82% of
enterprises adopting machine learning and AI have gained signifi‐
cant financial advantage from their investments, with an impressive
median ROI of 17%, according to Deloitte. Here are some examples
of machine learning as applied to challenges businesses face every

Characterisation of open reading frames m29 and m29.1 in murine cytomegalovirus

Ahasan, Mohammad Mainul (2008). Characterisation of open reading frames m29 and m29.1 in murine cytomegalovirus. University of Birmingham. Ph.D.

Download (2MB)

Murine cytomegalovirus (MCMV) in its natural host, the mouse, is an excellent model for studying the biology of cytomegalovirus infection. Mostly this model has been used to study gene homologues of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). Of the predicted 170 MCMV open reading frames (ORFs) only 78 have significant amino acid identity with genes in HCMV. To better understand the biological mechanisms underlying the differences between the viruses, for example their species specificity and immune evasion genes, MCMV unique ORFs need to be examined. Here the role of m29 and m29.1 ORFs in the MCMV (Smith strain), which have no homology with ORFs of any other cytomegalovirus, have been examined. The m29 and m29.1 ORFs are overlapping and encoded on opposite strands of the double-stranded DNA genome. Sequence analysis over this region showed a discrepancy to the published sequence. An additional G (guanine) nucleotide was found at nucleotide position 36,198 that alters the predicted ORFs, m29 being 242 amino acids shorter and m29.1 210 amino acids longer than the predicted sequence. This was confirmed by sequencing the MCMV Birmingham K181 strain, the Birmingham Smith strain and MCMV wild type isolates- N1, K17A and G4. Transcripts from the newly identified m29 and m29.1 ORFs were confirmed by reverse transcriptase PCR (RT-PCR). They were produced at early (3h) and immediate-early (2h) times post-infection respectively as determined by cycloheximide and phosphonoacetic acid treatment but were continuously expressed up to at least 24h post-infection. 5' and 3'-RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) analysis from m29.1 ORF confirmed the production of a ~2.4 kb transcript and a low abundance spliced transcript from which a 123bp intron had been removed. Mutants of ORF m29 and m29.1 have been produced in which ET recombination was used to introduce stop codon mutations within these overlapping ORFs. This was achieved by single base alterations near to the 5` end of each ORF that prevented translation but not transcription of each ORF individually. Linear dsDNAs containing the mutations were introduced into the Smith MCMV BAC replacing an antibiotic cassette that had been inserted into the gene of interest. Mutant viruses, Rc29 and Rc29.1 respectively, were recovered from these mutant BACs by in vitro passage in tissue culture cells. Revertant virus (Rv29.1) was made by a further 2 step process in which the mutant m29.1 ORF was first replaced by the antibiotic cassette and then by the wt ORF. These mutants were characterized both in tissue culture and in immunocompetent BALB/c and immunodeficient SCID mice. Both mutants produced their expected transcripts but Rc29.1 virus produced no corresponding protein as examined by western blot using an antibody produced in rabbits to bacterially expressed protein. Failure to express the m29 ORF in bacteria and failure of a synthetic peptide to generate rabbit antibodies that bound to denatured m29 protein meant that protein expression of the m29 gene in either mutant could not be determined. Mutant virus Rc29 replicated similarly to wild type virus both in tissue culture and in BALB/c mice. Mutant virus Rc29.1 replicated poorly with lower yields, a delay of about 2-3 days in reaching peak titres and an earlier decline compared to wt and revertant (Rv29.1) virus in tissue culture. Rc29.1 virus also showed delayed replication in the salivary glands of BALB/c mice compared to wt and Rv29.1 viruses and in SCID mice peak titres occurred later and mice became sick and had to be humanely killed approximately 8 days later that mice infected with wt virus. These results suggest that m29 and m29.1 ORFs are dispensable for viral replication in vitro in NIH 3T3 cells and in animal hosts. However, the m29.1 ORF is required for optimal viral growth in vitro and in vivo.

The National Bioeconomy Coordination Group (NBCG) of the Presidency of Council of Ministers (active in the frame of the National Committee Biosecurity, Biotechnology and Life Sciences of the same Presidency, involving representatives of 4 Ministries and of all Regions and Provinces, the National Agency for Cohesion and the main relevant National Technology Clusters (public private partnerships), who developed BIT II (Bioeconomy in Italy), prepared the present Implementation Action Plan (IAP). The IAP is addressed to translate some emerging BIT II priorities into distinct actions and related monitoring, to ensure an operational roll-out of the Italian Bioeconomy potential across Italy in the next 5 years. It is consistent with the other national strategies relating to the production of bioresources, their mobilization and use within the ecological limits. The NBCG will facilitate the actions and yearly monitor the IAP adoption. NBCG will also closely interact with the coordinators of the Bioeconomy strategies active in the other EU Member States to promote common positions in the review of the IAP of the EU strategy on the Bioeconomy launched on 2018. This will facilitate the exchange of best implementation actions and practices, enhance inter-country cooperation and joint activities, promote the overall implementation of the Bioeconomy strategiesin all EU Countries and the shaping of a concrete agenda of joint actions and recommendations, aiming at strengthening the development of the Bioeconomy in the EU as a whole. This will also facilitate the alignment of Italian priorities with those of the Water framework directive, the “biodiversity” and “farm to fork” strategies, part of the EU Green Deal, and the ones of the cluster 6 of Horizon Europe “Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and Environment”, and its related Missions and Partnerships.
The proposed document after presenting the national context with particular reference to the role of Bioeconomy in Italy in coherence with the recently revised national Bioeconomy Strategy (BITII), describes:

  • how circular Bioeconomy model can be valued in this particular critical period from the
    health and socio-economic point of view and its key role in the Post-COVID 19 phase;
  • a detailed action plan 2020-2025 including a series of relevant targeted actions which have
    been clustered into 4 main macro areas (policy/standards, pilot actions, regeneration of
    ecosystem services and stakeholders engagement);
  • flagship projects ready for deployment at national levels are presented in order to provide concrete examples of Bioeconomy investments which can act as catalyst of socio-economic growth;
  • legislative and proposals for their overcoming is described. A plan for dissemination and monitoring of IAP results is included in the document as well.The full document is available at:

Chronic diseases and healthy ageing: Experts are joining forces in Madrid

Today, the first Stakeholder Forum of the Joint Action CHRODIS (JA-CHRODIS) (see notes to editors 1 & 2) is being held in the Institute of Health Carlos III in Madrid (Spain). Participants will learn about the initiative and be able to contribute to its activities by advising on the needs of users, regulators and the private sector in relation to diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and multimorbidity. The Forum will facilitate the exchange of information and experience between those implementing the Joint Action and its stakeholders, such as policymakers, managers and patients’ representatives from across Europe.

Juan Riese, coordinator of JA-CHRODIS, says “the Forum provides an excellent opportunity to engage the wider public in our work and to build an external cooperation network. This is a first step towards making a real impact with our work on the ground.”

Coinciding with the Stakeholder Forum, JA-CHRODIS is presenting its website ( where interested parties can not only find up-to-date information on JA-CHRODIS but also relevant news on the latest European developments in the areas of chronic diseases and healthy ageing. In addition, the website is the go-to-place for all stakeholders to download and view all documentation and outputs of the Joint Action. In the coming weeks, the first country reviews of national health promotion and primary prevention systems, a task led by EuroHealthNet, will be made available.

In Europe today, 4 out of 5 people over 65 suffer from at least one chronic disease like diabetes or cardiovascular disease. 65% of this age group suffers from multimorbidity, i.e. two or more chronic diseases. This number rises to 85% for the 85-year-old group.[1] The treatment of chronic diseases demands 70-80% of healthcare budgets.

Caroline Costongs, Managing Director at EuroHealthNet, states that “77% of chronic diseases are largely preventable but only 3% of healthcare budgets are currently spent on prevention.[2] Through our involvement in JA-CHRODIS, EuroHealthNet is bringing the need for more and better investments in health promotion and primary prevention to the attention of European and national institutions and policy-makers and demonstrating how more effective action can take place.”

The European Commission, specifically through its flagship initiative European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing, aims to improve the healthy lifespan of European citizens by two years by 2020. JA-CHRODIS is designed to contribute to this goal.
