Autopsies Show Sarin Gas Used Against Syrian Town: Turkey

Russian President Vladimir Putin says he plans to appeal for a U.N. probe

    Children who survived a deadly suspected gas attack in Syria's northern Idlib province were hooked up to ventilators as they recovered on Tuesday, April 4, 2017. A top Syrian military official denied government responsibility for the attack, which was carried out around the same time as other airstrikes in the area. (Published Tuesday, April 4, 2017)

    Turkey's health minister said Tuesday that test results confirm sarin gas was used in an attack on a northern Syrian town earlier this month and the Russian military said the Syrian government is willing to let international experts examine its military base for signs of chemical weapons.

    Col. Gen. Sergei Rudskoy of the Russian General Staff said in televised remarks that Russia will provide security for international inspectors seeking to examine Syrian bases, and that Damascus has agreed to allow the inspections. His comments came shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin said Moscow will appeal to the United Nations to investigate the attack on Khan Sheikhoun.

    The April 4 chemical weapons attack on the rebel-held town in Idlib province left nearly 90 people dead. The United States blamed President Bashar Assad's government and launched nearly 60 cruise missiles on Friday at the Shayrat air base in the central province of Homs, where it claims the attack originated.

    Moscow, which is a strong backer of the Syrian government, has dismissed suggestions that the Damascus could be behind the attack. The Syrian government also denied the allegation, saying its air force bombed a rebel arsenal that had chemical weapons stored inside.

    [NATL] Nikki Haley Criticizes Russia For Chemical Weapons Attack In Syria

    Amb. Nikki Haley criticized Russia today in a United Nations Security Council meeting, saying that they are either turning a blind eye to Syria's chemical weapons program or are being fooled into believing that Syria has none.

    (Published Friday, April 7, 2017)

    Putin told reporters on Tuesday that Russia would appeal to a U.N. agency in the Hague, urging it to launch an official probe. The Russian president also said Moscow has received intelligence about planned "provocations" using chemical weapons that would be used to pin the blame on the Syrian government.

    The Russian statements came as U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson arrived in Moscow where he will meet Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Wednesday.

    In Turkey, a main backer of the Syrian opposition, Health Minister Recep Akdag said test results conducted on victims of the Khan Sheikhoun attack confirm that sarin gas was used. Akdag said that blood and urine samples taken from the victims confirmed that they were subjected to the nerve agent. His comments were reported by the state-run Anadolu news agency.

    Turkey last week conducted autopsies on three victims of the gas attack who were brought from Syria. Officials from the World Health Organization and the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons participated in the autopsies.

    In Damascus, a Syrian official said Foreign Minister Walid al-Moallem will visit Russia on Thursday where he will meet officials in Moscow.

    The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity in line with regulations, said Tuesday that there might be a three-way meeting later this week in Moscow between officials from Russia, Syria and Iran.

    The United States launched cruise missiles into Syria Thursday night, April 6, in retaliation for this week's gruesome alleged chemical weapons attack against civilians.

    (Published Friday, April 7, 2017)

    Syrian government forces battling insurgents in Daraa have dropped several barrel bombs on the southern city, opposition activists said Tuesday, a day after the White House suggested that the use of the crude explosive devices could bring a U.S. response.

    Russia's Defense Ministry meanwhile said two of its army officers were killed and a third seriously wounded in a mortar attack in Syria, without specifying when or where it took place. Russia has been waging an air campaign in support of Syrian forces since 2015.

    The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the fighting in Daraa erupted Monday when rebels attacked a government-held area in the city center. It said 16 pro-government fighters, including an army colonel, have been killed.

    Both the Observatory and Daraa-based activist Ahmad al-Masalmeh said warplanes carried out raids on Daraa while helicopter gunships dropped at least 14 barrels loaded with explosives.

    White House spokesman Sean Spicer said Monday that the use of barrel bombs, which government forces have repeatedly employed throughout the six-year-old conflict, might prompt a U.S. retaliation.

    A Syrian official, meanwhile, said residents will begin evacuating two besieged areas in northwestern Syria on Wednesday, in the latest population transfer arranged by the warring sides.

    (Published Wednesday, April 5, 2017)

    Hakim Baghdadi said authorities have prepared 100 buses to move 5,000 people out of the Shiite villages of Foua and Kfarya. Baghdadi, a member of the relief committee for the two villages, said they will be bused first to the nearby city of Aleppo, then on to other destinations.

    The predominantly Shiite villages have remained loyal to the Syrian government while the rest of the surrounding Idlib Province has fallen under the rule of hard-line Sunni rebels.

    The rebel commander in charge of two opposition-held towns in western Syria says evacuations will also begin from his districts tomorrow. The commander, who goes by the name Abu Adnan al-Zabadani, said residents and fighters electing to leave will be bused out of Madaya and Zabadani on Wednesday, before the towns are returned to government control.

    An arrangement between the government and rebels has linked the fate of the four besieged towns since 2015. The U.N. has decried the arrangement, saying it has served to obstruct the provision of badly needed assistance.

    Associated Press writers Nataliya Vasilyeva, Suzan Fraser and Albert Aji contributed to this report.

House GOP Leaders Press Earmark Moratorium

Wednesday, 10 Mar 2010 11:31 PM

House GOP leaders are pushing rank-and-file Republicans to break their addiction to pet projects by going cold turkey and giving up the long-cherished practice of directing federal dollars to their home districts.

The move is an election-year appeal to voters frustrated with Washington's free-spending ways and seeks to trump new reforms announced earlier Wednesday by Democratic leaders. Democrats announced they would ban the much-criticized practice of using annual spending bills to direct pet projects to companies that often return the favor with campaign contributions. Democratic leaders considered — and dismissed — the idea of a complete earmark ban.

The competing maneuvers come as both parties are seeking every possible advantage heading into midterm elections in which Republicans stand to make major gains and possibly retake control of the House. Earmarks are but one reason Congress suffers from abysmal approval ratings, however, and lawmakers in both parties engage in the practice.

"The time has come for House Republicans to adopt an immediate, unilateral moratorium on all earmarks," said Minority Leader John Boehner of Ohio and nine other GOP leaders in a joint statement Wednesday evening.

In the Senate, however, the old guard in both parties was having none of it.

"I don't believe this policy or ceding authority to the executive branch on any spending decision is in the best interests of the Congress or the American people," Inouye said.

Earlier Wednesday, Rep. David Obey, D-Wis., chairman of the Appropriations panel, told reporters that he hopes the ban on earmarks to companies that make profits will mean 1,000 fewer earmarks and break the linkage between campaign contributions and earmarks that has sparked criticism and resulted in ethics probes of several lawmakers.

The election-year moves in the House come after the ethics committee investigated seven members of a Pentagon spending panel for rewarding earmarks to companies whose executives and hired lobbyists showered them with campaign cash. The panel found no linkage and absolved the lawmakers.

But the move brought strong opposition from Senate Appropriations panel chair Inouye, D-Hawaii, a long-standing defender of earmarking. He issued a tartly worded response defending the current system and calling Obey's move "quizzical."

"Congress cannot ignore its constitutional responsibilities to approve the allocation of federal funds," said GOP Sen. Thad Cochran of Mississippi, one of Congress' most aggressive practitioners of earmarking.

House Republicans will vote among themselves Thursday on whether to give up earmarks.

The subject of earmarks has over the years brought criticism of Congress that's often generated by earmarks such as the $200 million-plus "Bridge to Nowhere" in Alaska, a proposed but later abandoned bridge connecting the city of Ketchikan to an island with about 50 residents and an airport.

Among congressional watchdogs the more odious element has been the pay-to-play culture in which campaign cash flows from earmark beneficiaries into the coffers of lawmakers.

"For-profit earmarks are really where the rubber meets the road as far as corruption," said Steve Ellis of Taxpayers for Common Sense, a Washington-based watchdog group that has been critical of earmarking.

The most commonly accepted definition of an earmark is a specific project that's not requested by the president but inserted into one of the annual spending bills by a member of Congress. They come in countless varieties, like grants to police departments, improvements to military bases, renovations to historic buildings and research grants for home-district colleges.

But at issue in the Democratic edict are earmarks aimed at for-profit entities, especially those who are seeking to tap into the Pentagon's $600 billion-plus budget. Many if not most of such companies hire lobbyists to navigate the process and it's common for both company executives and the hired lobbyist to give campaign cash to lawmakers that sponsor their earmarks.

Critics said that the ethics committee turned a blind eye to a corrupt system when dismissing an investigation that the seven lawmakers broke House rules when funneling earmarks to a lobbying firm that was some blatant in tying campaign contributions from firm lobbyists and their clients to winning earmarks.

Critics said the ethics committee report was a whitewash.

"Simply because a member sponsors an earmark for an entity that also happens to be a campaign contributor does not, on these two facts alone, support a claim that a member's actions are being influenced by campaign contributions," the ethics panel found.

"It's just ridiculous on its face," Ellis countered

The moratorium on earmarks to corporations and for-profit companies comes as a series of scandals has hurt Democrats politically. Rep. Charles Rangel was admonished by the ethics committee late last month over corporate-funded trips — with more serious charges still pending — while the resignation of former Rep. Eric Massa, D-N.Y., after sexual harassment allegations has also harmed the Democrats' political standing.

Last year's defense appropriations bill contained 1,720 earmarks worth $4.2 billion, according to Taxpayers for Common Sense, which constructs a database using disclosures required under rules put in place when Democrats took over Congress.

ERITH bicycle owners can give would-be thieves pause for thought this month and next.

Erith Riverside Shopping Centre is teaming up with the MET on February 22 and March 15 between 11am and 4pm for two free bike security marking events.

The stand will be located opposite Wilkinson’s outside Mambochino’s offering security advice to shoppers as well as free marking and registration on to the BikeRegister’s online database.

By registering bikes, police and retailers are able to identify and verify the legitimate owner of machines that have been lost, stolen or are being resold.

Security marking bikes also deters potential thieves as the vehicle is then easily traceable if it is stolen and far more likely to be returned to its rightful owner.

Centre manager Barry Owen said: "We are dedicated to making the local community a safer environment and are delighted to be working alongside the Metropolitan Police."

Feds shut down California drug, dietary supplement maker

Feds shut down California drug, dietary supplement maker

The government action was prompted by repeated violations

February 10th, 2013 by James Limbach of ConsumerAffairs in News

A California company and its owner have been ordered to stop manufacturing and distributing drugs and dietary supplements in domestic commerce until manufacturing operations comply with the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act).

U.S. District Judge Otis D. Wright of the Central District of California signed the order on Dec. 11, 2012, against Titan Medical Enterprises of Santa Fe Springs, CA, and James L. McDaniel, Titan Medical's owner and president. The order was entered in response to a complaint filed by the U.S. Department of Justice, on behalf of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Failure to follow standards

The court found that the company and McDaniel violated the Act by failing to follow current Good Manufacturing Practice for drugs (Drug cGMP) and for dietary supplements (Dietary Supplement cGMP). The court also found that the defendants violated federal law by distributing unapproved new drugs in violation of the Act. Prior to entry of the court's order, Titan Medical Enterprises manufactured and domestically distributed a variety of drugs and dietary supplements.

"The FDA continues to take strong enforcement actions against companies that fail to comply with federal drug and dietary supplement manufacturing regulations," said acting Associate Commissioner for Regulatory Affairs Melinda K. Plaisier. "The actions we are taking are necessary to make sure that the drugs and dietary supplements consumers purchase have been manufactured in compliance with cGMP."

Multiple violations

Nine FDA inspections of Titan between 2001 and 2012 revealed that the company's drugs were not manufactured and distributed in compliance with Drug cGMP. Violations included failure to establish an adequate written testing program to assess the stability of finished products and failure to establish and follow adequate laboratory controls.

The Dietary Supplement cGMP regulations went into effect in 2007 and became effective over the following three years based on company size. Titan's compliance date was in 2010, and FDA inspections in 2010, 2011, and 2012 revealed that Titan violated the Dietary Supplement cGMP regulations by, among other things, failing to verify that a subset of finished dietary supplement batches met product specifications and failing to adequately confirm the identity of dietary supplement components.

Drug cGMP includes practices and systems required to be adopted in the manufacture and testing of pharmaceuticals. Drug cGMP outlines the aspects of production and testing that can impact the quality of a product.

Similarly, Dietary Supplement cGMP regulations require dietary supplement manufacturers to ensure quality in their dietary supplements by appropriately controlling all aspects of their processes and procedures to ensure a supplement meets minimal quality standards and is not adulterated by the presence of contaminants.

Oakland Raiders

Raiders rookie QB Pryor tries to clear air on Wonderlic score

  • By NFL.com
More Columns >

What's in a Wonderlic score? For Oakland Raiders rookie quarterback Terrelle Pryor, enough that he came out and defended himself against a report about a very low score.

According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Pryor received a seven on his test -- which he took on his August 20 pro day -- only to take it again the next day to improve to 21. He took to Twitter on Wednesday to try to set the record straight.

"Funny thing is I scored a 22 on my Wonderlic," Pryor tweeted. "Get it right ask @RosenhausSports."

Drew Rosenhaus is Pryor's agent.

Pryor's claim was backed up -- sort of -- by Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert, who administered both tests. Colbert would not confirm the score of the first test but told ESPN.com that Pryor's second test was significantly improved.

Colbert declined to disclose Pryor's score on the second test.

"The report of a seven test score is erroneous," Colbert said. "I administered both tests and I can tell you that his score was significantly higher than that. I informed all teams and scouts interested in him about the score. In scouting, we always go with the higher Wonderlic score."

Though Wonderlic scores are supposed to be confidential, Colbert said he received clearance from the NFL to reveal that Pryor's score was better than the reported seven.

The Wonderlic, which is annually administered during the NFL Scouting Combine, has stirred controversy in the past as it pertains to quarterbacks possessing high football IQs. Certain players' scores have leaked to create controversy.

The most notable player with a low score to have a great career was Hall of Famer Dan Marino, who reportedly scored a 16. Conversely, first-round busts JaMarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf scored a 24 and a 27, respectively.

Kamas, UT Orthodontic Treatment for the Whole Family

Traditional metal braces are the most popular and effective orthodontic option, gradually guiding misaligned teeth into their appropriate positions. They are generally made with titanium or high-quality stainless steel and are comprised of three main components:

Brackets – Brackets are small metal plates that are affixed to the front surface of each tooth. They are bonded to the enamel with special glue that is designed to be non-damaging to teeth.

Archwire – The archwire is the ultra-thin steel wire that is connected to the brackets around the alveolar arch. It is the source of the tension that moves teeth into alignment over the course of orthodontic treatment.

Rubber bands (ligature elastic) – These elastic bands are used to hold the archwire securely to the brackets. Many patients choose to customize the appearance of their metal braces with colorful rubber bands, which are available in a variety of different hues.

Traditional metal braces are trusted by millions due to their accuracy and their long-lasting results. They are used to treat a variety of orthodontic issues in children, teens, and adults. These include overbites, underbites, openbites, missing incisors, crowding, uneven spacing, and large gaps between teeth.

Posted by Erica McAlister Apr 30, 2015

OK, I have decided to create #Worldrobberflyday. All the time now, we hear that this large mammal or that large mammal has a 'day', and that got me thinking. Buglife have an invertebrate of the month, but even they are not very often the lesser-known insects, including the flies.

And I wanted global. Let the world celebrate! Why is it always the large stuff or the pretty (and, in my opinion, slightly less important) species? So I thought about it and decided it was about time that we championed more aggressively the rights of the small and endangered flies. These creatures are some of the most charismatic animals on the planet. The robberflies, or Asilidae, are truly worth celebrating for their looks, for their behaviour, for their good deeds to us, and because many of them are threatened.

The UK boasts 28 species of Asilidae (OK, so that's not a lot in terms of flies, but hold on – we have only 30 native terrestrial mammals, of which 17 are bats and 2 are native marine mammals). Globally there are more than 7,500 species, and as such, it is one of the largest families of insects today. In fact Torsten Dikow, a world expert on this group, has them as the third most speciose group of diptera. This is a group, therefore, that has a large impact on the environment in which they live.

Asilidae are Brachycerans (Fig. 1), which are the more advanced and robust flies. Asilidae are known from the Jurassic era, but some of the more important finds are from the Cretaceous, including those from the Crato Formation of north-eastern Brazil (approximately 112 million years old). This site is truly extraordinary in terms of the invertebrate remains that were found there (and just another reason for me to get back to Brazil!).

Figure 1. Phylogenetic arrangement of Diptera showing the more advanced Brachycerans and the position of the Asilidae (robberflies) within it.

It was again Linnaeus, or Linne, who described these flies in his 10th edition (1758) Systema Naturae when he erected the genus Asilus. Within this, eleven species were described and then a further four were added in the 12th edition. You may be unsurprised to know that most of these are no longer in the original genus! Ten have been moved to other genera, three we are unsure of due to the original descriptions being vague, so that leaves only two in the genus.

However, the species Asilus crabroniformis, commonly called the hornet robberfly in the UK – and the type species of the family – still sits within this genus in all its magnificence. The division of flies into different families came later with Latreille, a very eminent entomologist who tried to put some more organisation into the entomological hierarchy in 1802. Since then we have increased the number of species and have split the family into many subfamilies –14 in fact (Fig. 2) But as regular readers know, Dipteran taxonomists are still not satisfied and expect more movement in the future.

Figure 2. Subfamilies within Asilidae (image is Tigonomiminae © Thomas Shahan).

Even still, you can comprehend how much work has gone on into understanding the relationships within this family so far.

Moustaches and mouthparts

So why are people interested in these flies? Well once more, this is a family of flies that rock! And these rock harder than most. All armed with moustaches and powerful piercing mouthparts, these predators are aptly named, as they truly are the most vicious and effective aerial predators. These flies are venomous, probably both as adults and as larvae (although we know so very little about the offspring). The adults are able to catch, then sedate, their prey whilst on the wing, suck out the contents and then drop the husk of what was once a living breathing entity. It's almost poetry.

And to be fair, to catch these little predators you often have to become a predator yourself. There is no majestic leaping around the countryside, freely swinging your nets with wild exuberance: instead you must 'become the fly'. You stalk it; determine where it rests and then strike. If you are me, this is often followed by a squeal of delight or a wail of despair. I once spent a glorious afternoon on one of the Isles of Scilly at the beach (obviously working very hard) trying to stalk these flies. My volunteer and I tried to work in unison hunting them, and I could almost hear the flies mocking us…

The adults are most active during sunny, hot conditions. Again, another reason for loving flies – they have an affinity for the nicer weather conditions.

Although these flies range a lot in size, from 2mm to 6cm, they all share distinctive features that help identify the family. The adults have enormous eyes, which is one of the many tools that make them such efficient predators. And it also helps us recognise this family easily. The bulbous eyes and the distinct dip between the two eyes are very characteristic (see Fig. 3). They can swivel their heads around and their eyes can see what's going on behind them as well.

Figure 3. My, my... what big eyes you have...!

Some of them scout amongst the grasses, their rapid wingbeat enabling them to turn whilst hovering. These truly are the stealth-bombers of the insect world.

The leptogastriniiae are the skinniest of the Asilidae, with very long bodies and legs. They use these long, gangly first two pairs of legs to catch their prey whilst – we think – using the third pair to stabilise themselves. Not all actively scan like this: some will sit and wait, only darting out to impale their prey when they are ready. If fact, there are several different ways in which they hunt and, as with all good scientists, someone has devised a terminology for all of these (Fig. 4)

Figure 4. Lehr (1979) from the Geller-Grimm Asilidae site.

For that is another characteristic of this group – a well-formed, stout beak often hidden in a luxurious moustache or, more correctly termed, a mystax (Fig. 5).

Figure 5. Mouthparts of a robber fly (Brachycera: Asilidae). an=antenna; cl=clypeus; ip=hypopharynx; li=labium; ls=labrum (epipharynx); m=mystax; ms=maxillae; oc=eye; pm=maxillary palpus © Giancarlo Dessì. Licensed under CC BY NC SA 3.0 US.

It is the needle-like hypopharynx (Fig. 5) that pierces their prey. This is not for the faint-hearted, as they often try and pierce the soft parts of the insect, such as the neck or sometimes the eyes. They have this moustache (Mystax – Fig. 5) to help protect their mouthparts from the flailing prey.

They don't have to flail for long, though, as the fly injects saliva that contains nerve toxins that paralyse the prey, and proteolytic enzymes that dissolve the insides. They are nasty for insects, spiders, and occasionally a very unfortunate hummingbird, but apart from giving a nasty jab, they are not dangerous to humans. Research done by Adamovic in 1963 found that injecting robberfly saliva into invertebrates kills them instantly, but they never inject venom into humans. There are several researchers in the Natural History Museum who are now studying the venoms within these flies, so watch out for future Museum publications to follow what is happening in this field.

But this leads me to one of the first reasons that these flies are very important. It's because they are such good predators. Within the UK, between 1930 and 1933, Hobby produced a list of the prey records (Fig. 6).

Figure 6. Hobbies lists from Stubbs and Drake 2014.

We have spent the last century working out the prey species and now have a greater understanding of the potential impact these flies can have in helping control populations of species that we often consider as pests – with aphids being a classic example. Although they are opportunistic species, they can have an impact on the overall densities and therefore become the gardener's friends.

Flirty flies

So let's move on to courtship. As with most creatures, some do, some don't; with some species the males just grab, while others put a fair amount of time and effort into it and have different modifications on their bodies to both attract the opposite sex as well as hold on to them. And it's not just the males that do the flirting. Oh no - there are some females that entice the male.

The rather unusual courtship of the British robberfly Choerages marginatus was described by Ian Rabarts in 2009 (paraphrased from Alan Stubbs' rather amusing synopsis on the subject, in his and Martin Drake's book British Soldierflies and their Allies): Firstly the flies recognise that (a) they are the right species, and (b) that they are of the opposite sex (a very good start in most situations to do with copulation leading to fertilisation).

Then they check out each other's hunting moves and, if OK, the female stands facing the male in a sort of 'yeah, you'll do' posture. After this, she flies in a slow 'flaunting' circuit (hussy) very similar to that of a prey item (all very kinky). He attacks when he sees her 'shimmer-strip', whereupon she slows down her flight, but flies in an angular pattern. He realises then that this is his lady and adjusts his attack from one of capturing prey to one of copulation.

Alan then states in his book: 'Failure [of copulation] results in going back a few steps in the courtship sequence.' A not-unfamiliar event…

Bob Lavigne, a collaborator of mine and another international robberfly expert, wrote in 2003: 'It is postulated that courtship first developed when male search flights (which end abruptly with copulation), were consistently unsuccessful.' It sounds so final when it ends with copulation!

In fact, reading the literature when it comes to robberfly mating in copulation has been very entertaining. Morgan (1995) records that another species that were just about to do the do were scared off by a sheep! Given the size difference I too in a similar position may have been scared off...

But check out Pegesimallus teratodes (Fig.7) – these have amazing structures on their hind legs. These are used in the dance of the males to attract the females –they are indeed the peacocks of the robberfly world.

Figure 7. Pegesimallus teratodes and its amazing legs.

And that is not all that is fantastic about the males. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the genitalia of the males (Fig. 8).

Figure 8. The male Pegesimallus teratodes with his rather impressive genitalia.

And then there are specimens in our collection that we think give us an indication of a courtship story, although I doubt we will ever be able to find out for certain. Take, for example, two specimens of Mallophora infernalis from our collection (Fig. 9). Now, had the female caught the bush cricket and the male had thought:“Excellent! Both food and sex!”? Or, had the male caught the cricket to attract the female? Either way, it was not going to end well for the bush cricket (or in this case for the robberflies).

Figure 9. Male and Female of Mallophora infernalis who were caught mid air carrying this bush cricket.

So whether there is dancing, waving, differences in wingbeats, or offerings, the end result hopefully is the production of eggs. And blimey, the females have a big range of ovipositors (egg laying tubes) (Fig. 10)!

Figure 10. Ovipositors (adapted from Stubbs and Drake 2014).

Now this is where it gets tricky, as we know less about the egg and larval stage than any of the others. And this is the main reason why we should be concerned about these gorgeous creatures – many of the UK species are rare. We have no real idea for many species globally but can only assume that this is the case everywhere. In fact, several of our UK species are protected.

However we don't know much, if anything, about many of the species' diet, where they live, development and so on. In Collins' book The Conservation of Insects and their Habitats, he discusses how little is known about the species, despite the fact that they are classed as threatened.

Take one of the most charismatic insects in the UK (no bias there) the hornet robberfly Asilus Crabroniformis – a mimic of (you guessed it) a hornet. There is still very little information. Previous work dating back to the 90s states that the eggs were laid in or under the old dung of cows, horses and rabbits, and soil nearby. Maybe the adults (and subsequent larvae) are that flexible in their habitat? The larvae are then thought to feed on dung beetles but again this has only been observed (and not by many authors) during late-stage instars. What do the little ones eat? It is a UK priority species and we need to know more about it. How can we consider conserving a species (if it needs it) if we don't know where it is or what it's getting up to? It's like a wayward teenager.

Now, if you want to know more about what is going on with UK robberflies, there are loads of pages giving you what information there is.

There is a nice little piece by naturespot (Fig. 11) featuring some of the UK species, and of course you must check out the Dipterists Forum for all of their information.

Figure 11. Nature spot.

But what we really want now is information coming the other way. Personal observations in the field, the location of eggs and the like, and species distributions are all critical in ensuring that we maintain and enhance our existing populations.

Martin Harvey @kitenet runs the UK recording scheme for these wonderful little animals (See Fig. 12 or visit the website) and you can send all your records to that site. Martin also runs many courses on these as do others in the Dipterists Forum, so sign up and go along to them.

Figure 12. The Soldierfly and allies recording scheme, which includes the robberflies.

So there you go - robberflies are amazing, and they do need celebrating. And if you still need convincing here is a little fluffy one to tug at your heartstrings. When asked what is my favourite fly, Laphria flava is at the center of my heart (Fig. 13).

Brain Wave! Mind Control the Falls

Toronto tech company InteraXon were thinking up new ways to expose their mind-controlling technology to everyone. One of their ideas was to make a brainwave sensor that feeds off brainwaves to create music, or a heat lamp.

The Ontario government rebutted that idea and suggested this new innovation that would spark tourism.

Visitors at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver will be able to visit The Ontario House and sit in one of these chairs. Thought controlled computing takes the waves off your head, then classifies them into alpha, beta, theta, etc. The machine teaches you how to use these waves to control your thoughts. Once you are ready, you can go live and control the lighting of the Niagara Falls, CN Tower, or Parliament Building, just by the power of your brain.

Fox5DC is reporting that Kaiser Permanente in Largo, Maryland has exposed 23 patients to HIV, hepatitis C and other infections after failing to properly sterilize equipment.  According to a statement released by Kaiser “a piece of endoscopy equipment at our Largo Medical Center had a defect that might have kept it from being thoroughly disinfected.”

Kaiser has contacted 23 patients and asked them to return, but seems to be casting blame on a product “defect,” and eschewing full responsibility.

Kaiser doesn’t seem to understand that these patients now have tremendous concern due to the hospital’s failures.  The patient’s did not ask for this, and Kaiser should do more than simply blame the product at this point.

We will continue to monitor this situation and hope these patients have the best possible outcome.

Topic: Got 50$ Best use of it??

Posts 21 to 25 of 25

Put it on Paypal and send it to me lol just kidding I would say Exitebots or 5000 Wii points

This account is dead move along please.

I'd personally & highly reccommend saving some money for Wii Points; so buy a Nintendo Points card right away! (That's what I'm doing anyway; since I just got $50 yestarday this Saturday May 9th!)

I know its almost May 11th, & guessing how the Nintendo is clearly unpredictable with their lame-o 1 VC game releases; we'll just have 1 more week for May18th's #300 VC game... which had better FREAKING BE ZELDA MAJORA'S MASK, or there will be HELL TO PAY NINTENDO!!!

But also who knows what WiiWare will bring?! I'm just hoping Icarian Kindered Spirits comes out sometime soon for this month of May... so high chance for tomarrow May 11th; if not that's just fine, but certainly not dandy!

Also if there's is nothing worth saving up Wii Points for; there is always something to get for $30... if you still plan on getting Wii Points that is!

(If there's nothing I seriously wanted; I'd get New Play Control Donkey Kong Jungle Beat for myself)!

For personal reccommendations; I'd personally save a little bit more, (just another $30 if getting Wii Points); for Punch-Out Wii coming out May 18th!!

(I mean that's my second choice; if I didn't want to go with my first choice... for those are my plans on what I plan to do with my $50)!

I'd sit on the $50 until It's My Birthday comes out. I've heard it's supposed to herald a new age of gaming.

Trenton, NJ

Over 17,000 interested citizens and public servants are expected to gather in Atlantic City, from Tuesday, November 18 through Thursday, November 20, 2014, to participate in the 99th Annual Conference of the New Jersey State League of Municipalities.  This is, again, expected to be the Nation’s largest gathering of municipal officials.

Over 100 informative sessions are scheduled.  Highlights include the League’s popular delegate luncheon with a keynote address from Lieutenant Governor Kim Guadagno on Thursday afternoon.  Wednesday’s event schedule includes the Mayors’ Luncheon featuring State Community Affairs Commissioner Richard Constable, Commissioner Bob Martin of the Department of Environmental Protection, Transportation Commissioner Jamie Fox, and Board of Public Utilities Commissioner Joseph Fiordaliso.

Key educational seminars will cover economic development and recovery, ethics, shared services, the Federal Affordable Care Act, resiliency, social media and more sessions important to municipal government.  New Jersey’s municipal officials also use this conference to review nearly 800 companies, which provide municipal goods and services.  This gives local officials the opportunity to shop for the best bargains, saving property taxpayers’ money in the process.

“This is not only America’s largest municipal conference; it is also the most instructive and the most valuable.  New Jersey local officials come to Atlantic City for three full days of learning that is not available anywhere else at any other time” said League President Suzanne M. Walters, Mayor of Stone Harbor.

External OpenSSL Command-line FAQ

This OpenSSL HowTo/FAQ deals with the command-line openssl.

SSH config tweaks

Most default SSH installations need a little tweaking for speed or extra security. There are two config files to worry about. One is on the server you are trying to connect to and the other is on your localhost.

These are changes I always make to /etc/ssh/sshd_config. See fail2ban for protecting against bots doing dictionary attacks.

# this speeds up logins.
UseDNS no
# Don't make this 1. Public keys count as 1st try. If that fails the SSHd will not try password.
MaxAuthTries 2
# bots often check these accounts for weak passwords:
DenyUsers root test admin guest nobody
# for even extra security, limit access to only these users:
# Uncomment the line below and add the usernames you want to allow.
#AllowUsers user1 user2 user3

Use the following to support SSH1. I no longer use this.

# this is required if you want to support SSH1
Protocol 2,1
# this is required if you want to support SSH1
PasswordAuthentication yes

/etc/ssh/ssh_config or ~/.ssh/config

Edit the client SSH config if you are getting slow logins. This is sometimes caused by GSSAPI Authentication. I also like to turn on KeepAlive.

Host *
# This sometimes fixes slow logins on Ubuntu.
# Don't use this if you use Kerberos or GSSAPI.
GSSAPIAuthentication no
# This helps prevent timeout disconnects.
TCPKeepAlive yes
ServerAliveInterval 60

simple port forwarding (SSH tunnel)

This example creates a tunnel for HTTP. This will forward port 80 of your localhost to port 80 of

ssh -f -N -q -L 80:localhost:80

This example creates a tunnel for IMAP. Here we forward port 1143 on localhost to 143 (IMAP) on

ssh -f -N -q -L 1143:localhost:143

-f tells ssh to go into the background (daemonize).

-N tells ssh that you don't want to run a remote command. That is, you only want to forward ports.

-q tells ssh to be quiet

-L specifies the port forwarding

port forwarding through an intermediary

You can have the remote machine forward ports to a third machine. This is useful where your have your local machine outside a firewall; a visible machine on the DMZ; and a third machine invisible to the outside.

This creates a tunnel from your localhost port 81 to port 80 through This lets you see the web server from outside a LAN.

ssh -f -N -q -L 81:

This example creates a tunnel for IMAP. Here we forward port 1143 on localhost to 143 (IMAP) on through

ssh -f -N -q -L 1143:

reverse port forwarding

Sometimes I need to make an internal LAN machine expose a service to the outside WAN. For example, I have a database server that will only accept connections from a specific development box. That dev box is inside the firewall. I want to connect to the database from outside the firewall.

ssh -t -L 5432:localhost:1999 ssh -t db_server ssh -t -R 1999: my_name@firewall

Using scp through a DMZ gateway to a machine behind a firewall using a tunnel

First you setup port forwarding through an intermediary. This forwards your localhost port 2222 to port 22 on Remember, that is not on your local network. The machine at is on the LAN network visible to the machine

ssh -f -N -q -L 2222: user@
scp -P 2222 transformers.avi user@localhost:.

A diagram might help. Remember, port 22 is the SSH server port on the machine.

+---------------+        +----------------+        +----------------------+
|     your      |        |  remote DMZ    |        | server on remote LAN |
| local machine |        |    server      |        |     |
|               |        | |        |                      |
|         2222:  >-------|                |-------> :22                   |
|               |        |\______________/|        |                      |
|               |        |                |        |                      |
+---------------+        +----------------+        +----------------------+

Using `dd` and `ssh` to copy a file through a DMZ gateway to a machine behind a firewall

You can chain ssh commands. Each ssh can be used to start another ssh command. This doesn't require a tunnel, but requires that keys be setup between the DMZ gateway and the server on the remote LAN.

This example copies a file called pictures.tar.gz:

dd if=pictures.tar.gz | ssh user@ "ssh user@ \"dd of=pictures.tar.gz\""

SOCKS5 with Firefox

Simple and secure web browsing. You can setup a tunnel as described above or you can use the following technique. This starts SSH on your localhost acting as a SOCKS proxy. Once you start SSH this way you can point any application that supports a SOCKS5 interface to this port. But these instructions will show what you need to do to get Firefox to proxy through SOCKS. Firefox supports SOCKS with no extra add-ons.

Start ssh an connection to a host that you want to proxy through. Use the -D option to specify a SOCKS5 port on your localhost. The port doesn't really matter. You just need to use the same port in your SOCKS client application. :

ssh -D 9999

In Firefox select "Edit | Preferences | Advanced Tab | Connection Settings button". Then select "Manual proxy configuration". All you need to fill out is "SOCKS Host: Localhost", "Port: 9999", then select "SOCKS v5". It's easy.

Firefox socks settings.png

This tool can also help in switching the proxy settings on and off: SwitchProxy Tool

Remote Server Security Enhancement with SSH Keys

You can make port forwarding even more secure by limiting what a privileged account can do. When you add a key to authorized_key you may pass parameters to fine tune the connection. This can be used to restrict what the client is allowed to do. On the remote server, add the following to ~username/.ssh/authorized_keys:

ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA8XIr8LEXdvc4VZEvNenWkJrerTzNhqTT7QvCD+Y2EjCUPQwfBcSnvhY3oasNigNonghQFqm7/HqWBLpcN+4mqDUrXrEdj6HQmHvCV6WozNUVb5jjiyQ/JF4hqcQd6oelCkVw8wD32I2jlYqydpqOGY4xqakWDAfm3SOx5il3Kl49mKCg5B3GQPexhTujaTT3y/Q1eeT3zGpHE9Mp7k20X8rMxSjp5ncLAmdf42fRh05HY5f1GrupQIEdi0/TDcPNWL1ml89zttrDOLgDnwny7P0x2jmcX41cSxL/8svER7BAk2sroyQe6L21pJ7o2MYz1IwnsQgji/GjJoaA7hTNCQ==
  • from="": accept connection only from the given IP address
  • command="/bin/false": forces this command to be run no matter what is passed via ssh from the client
  • no-pty: never allocate a PTY for interactivity
  • no-X11-forwarding: No X11
  • no-agent-forwarding: we don't want or need ssh-agent
  • no-port-forwarding: prevent ssh -R ...
  • permitopen="localhost:143": allow only localhost connections to port 143 for `ssh -L` requests

Turn off remote host identity check in known_hosts

Sometimes you want to connect to a remote host where you do not care about the host identification. Or you might be connecting to a single host IP address that is serving multiple SSH servers on different ports. Unfortunately, ssh stores only the remote host's IP address in your ~/.ssh/known_hosts file, so it will complain about different keys even though they came from different ports on the same IP address.

You get an error message like this:

Someone could be eavesdropping on you right now (man-in-the-middle attack)!
It is also possible that the RSA host key has just been changed.

The trick is to tell ssh not to ask you if you want to store the remote hosts identity key and you must tell ssh to look for a dummy known_hosts file.

The following example shows connecting to different ports of the same IP address while ignoring the remote host identification:

ssh -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" -o "UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null" noah@
ssh -p 2268 -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" -o "UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null" noah@
ssh -p 2269 -o "StrictHostKeyChecking no" -o "UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null" noah@

WARNING! This totally defeats detection of man-in-the-middle attacks. You shouldn't use this on a regular basis.

SSH for Windows

Putty is the best free SSH client for Windows. You can also use Cygwin, but the ANSI terminal emulation isn't as good unless you start the X11 server and run xterm.

We produce cosmetics
based on your ideas

The ECOCERT –certificate defines the regulations which quarantee the production of the certified products in a way that respects the environment in totally comprehensive and responsible manner, starting from the cultivation of plants needed for the raw materials, ending to the manufacturing process of the products.

We are glad to announce that on August 8 2008 we obtained ECOCERT certificate for our cosmetics production plant, being the first in our brand in Finland.

Ecocert - Natural Cosmetic

Quality Control

Microbiological control, quality controlAlso a high quality must be checked. All production batches are subjected to pre-determined controls normally including measurement of pH-value and viscosity, sensory examination of scent and appearance and microbiological control. If needed, also other measurings, by titration for instance, are made. The finished batches are sent on to the filling lines only after they have been acceptanced by our quality control.

Control samples of all batches are kept for 2.5 years. The quality of the products may thus be checked later on if needed.

Also the personnel employed in production is continuously checking up on the quality during manufacture. Any anomaly will be reported to quality control. Packagings are visually inspected both before and after filling and any defective items will be discarded. This will ensure that no faulty products pass on and that loss of final products will be minimized.

Genital sores - female

Sores or lesions on the female genitalia or in the vagina may have a number of possible causes.

Alternative Names

Sores on the female genitals

Genital sores may be painful, itchy, produce a discharge, or cause no symptoms at all.

Because genital lesions or sores can have a negative affect on a person's self-image, many people do not seek proper medical care. All genital sores should be evaluated by a medical professional.

Itching, painful urination, or painful sexual intercourse often occur with genital lesions.

Sores or lesions on the female genitals are often caused by sexually transmitted infections (STIs). STIs that can cause these sores include:

Precancerous changes of the vulva (vulvar dysplasia) may appear as white, red, or brown patches on the vulva, and may cause itching. The vulva can also develop skin cancers such as melanoma and basal cell and squamous cell carcinomas.

Nonsexually transmitted diseases may also produce sores on the genitals. In young girls (before puberty), common causes of genital sores include:

Less common causes include:

Home Care

See a health care provider before treating yourself. You may make it more difficult for your health care provider to determine what is wrong.

A sitz bath may help relieve itching and crusting.

If the sores are caused by a sexually transmitted infection, notify your sexual partner so that he or she can be treated. Do not have any type of sexual activity until your health care provider says the sores can no longer be spread to others.

When to Contact a Medical Professional

Call your health care provider if you:

  • Find any unexplained genital lesion
  • Have a change in a genital lesion
  • Have persistent genital itching that does not go away with home care
  • Think you might have a sexually transmitted infection
  • Also have pelvic pain, fever, vaginal bleeding, or other new symptoms

What to Expect at Your Office Visit

Your health care provider will perform a physical examination. The physical examination will usually include a pelvic examination. You will be asked questions about your symptoms and medical history. Questions may include:

  • What does the sore look like?
  • Do you have more than one?
  • Where is it located?
  • Does it hurt or itch?
  • When did you first notice it?
  • Have you ever had one before?
  • Has it grown bigger?
  • How often do you have sexual activity?
  • Do you have painful urination?
  • Do you have painful sexual intercourse?
  • Do you have abnormal vaginal drainage?

The following tests may be done:

Treatment may include medications that are applied to the skin or that are taken by mouth. The type of medication depends on the cause, but may include corticosteroids, antiviral drugs, antibiotics, or drugs to control itching.

Easter treats can be healthy and tasty with these adorable chocolate filled cups with bunnies on top.

They make a great table decoration or centerpiece.

{This post may contain affiliate links which pay for this site}.

First, make chocolate from this recipe or by using melted GAPS legal chocolate chips if you can find them. Chocolate can also be made with this recipe. Spread a cookie sheet with candy cup liners and fill with chocolate. Pick up each cup and roll the paper until the chocolate creeps up the sides of each cup. Chill in the refrigerator, remove paper cups and line the cookie sheet with just the chocolate cups.

In a bowl stir together 1/4 cup grass fed butter and a half cup home brewed sour cream. Add honey to taste if desired, we omit this. A small sprinkle of coconut flour can be added if the filling needs to be made firmer.

Fill the chocolate cups with the sour cream and butter mixture.

In a second bowl mix together 1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes with a small amount of freshly juiced kale for the desired green color. Too much kale juice for a darker “grass” makes it taste like kale so less is more. Kale coconut – not cool.

Top each cup with the green “grass”.

Bunny heads are made with this recipe. A toothpick will hold the bunny to the cup filling.

    Great information! When I clicked on the ingredients links, I found that 2 of them won’t link properly. They are the cocoa butter and the vanilla bean sources. I hope they can be fixed. Thank you.
