Swine Respiratory Diseases Treatment Market: Global Industry Analysis 2012 – 2016 and Opportunity Assessment 2017 – 2027

Report Description

Increase in pork consumption across various regions to help lift the global swine respiratory diseases treatment market in the coming decade

Pigs are mostly affected with respiratory diseases such as PRRS (Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome), which is a one of the common diseases. The Porcine Respiratory and Reproductive Syndrome is caused by a virus and is categorised under arterivirus. PRRS disease is also known as blue-ear pig disease. The PRRS was identified in USA during the 1980’s and is also known as the mystery swine disease. The PRRS disease is rapidly spreading in all the countries that are into pig productions, very few countries are left which are PRRS free today. The consumption of pork is increasing over the years across all the regions, which directly boosts the pork industry to produce more pork that is disease free, to enable the pork industry to meet the increasing demand for pork in the global market.

Market snapshot of the top regions in the global swine respiratory diseases treatment market

  • APEJ: APEJ is expected to lead the global swine respiratory diseases treatment market with its market size reaching a value of over US$ 1,100 Mn in 2027, growing at a CAGR 6.7%. However it is in close competition with Eastern Europe, which is leading in terms of CAGR, with a robust market growth at 6.9% CAGR during the forecast period. The animal industry is one of the fastest growing sectors in most countries of the Asia Pacific region. It is a vital industry linked to millions of jobs in related industries. However, the health and growth of this industry are being threatened by the emergence of animal diseases. APEJ’s market includes China’s pig industry, where the Chinese government is willing to invest and increase the pig industry by implementing supporting policies to support large pig farmers. Chinese scholars have indicated that they have found a new strain of PRRS virus (PRRSV) GDsg that was isolated in the Guangdong province of China, which caused high fever, high morbidity and high mortality for sow and piglets. This is helping APEJ’s swine respiratory diseases treatment market to grow exceptionally.

  • North America: The demand of pork in countries such as US and Canada is increasing, as a result the production of pork is increasing to meet the needs of the market. The pathogen free pork is directly contributing to the demand of the meat industry. In the pork industry in North America, especially in the U.S, most of the pork farms are using vaccines as the pork industry is looking forward to produce pork which is disease free. Vaccines are mostly used as preventive process to overcome the harmful pathogens. The use of vaccines for PRRS (porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome) and mycoplasma is increasing, the vaccine is directly given to breeding females, to enable the new born pig to be pathogen free. The increase in use of vaccines has helped North America’s market to reach a size of over US$ 780 Mn in 2027, growing at a CAGR of 6.5% during the forecast period. Also, the market is quite positive for investors in the animal healthcare sector and it seems like a win-win situation for both the parties (investors and manufacturers) in the long term.

Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on SN.

advantages/disadvantages of sn child and siblings at same mainstream school?

(10 Posts)
SantaFio2 Mon 03-Jan-05 08:04:38

am a bit lost as to what to do on this one. Would appreciate peoples opinions and experiences. We have had a couple of schools suggested for dd's outreach place both in different neighbouring villages to ours and one in the closest city. I would have preffered for ds to go to the same school as her (mainstream one that is!) but it would mean a bus ride or a very long trek (to the one)

But the logistics of them going to three different schools between them terrifies me. # parents evenings for one and all the other things that go hand in hand with the three different schools scenario. Our closest school has been poo pooed for dd but i am still undecided what to do for ds, let alone being so confused about which one to choose for dd. We have to start looking for ds now so i can put his name down. i am so confused.

Do you think it is more important for him to go to the same school as his sister or the same as his nursery friends and children living around this area? I always remember all the kids on estate going to the same school and I have always felt socially it is importnat to live close to your mates when you are little.

Gosh, so what have you decided? what are the advantages and disadvantages? and does this message make any sense whatsoever?

milge Mon 03-Jan-05 08:13:44

Yes Santafio2 it does make sense, and i too am interested in replies,as i need to make the same decision soon for my two, i've only got 2 schools to choose from, but the them being twins makes is complicated too. Sorry i can't answer your question, but thought i would post some support!

kid Mon 03-Jan-05 08:48:01

Not much advice to offer but, my DD goes to the school where I work and DS is at a different pre-school. The main problem I have is inset days and holidays being at different times. The parents evening thing could also be a problem, but you would have seperate appointments even if they were in the same school. Its one of those difficult decisions that we have to make and then we worry if we have made the right choice.
Have you wrote out a list of all the pro's and con's? Good luck.

sparklymieow Mon 03-Jan-05 08:52:38

I had three children at different schools the last year and it was a nightmare, I was always forgetting parents evenings, when inset days were etc etc. Ds is at a mainstream school, DD1 was at a SN nursery and DD2 is at a preschool up the road. Luckily Dd1 is moving to Ds' school on wednesday. We decided to send her to DS' school because they have worked wonderfully with Ds and have fully supported us throughout his time there and they are very willing to help and support us with DD1 too. Its hard to the head as DS was the first CP child he had ever had in one of his school, and now he has DD1 going in too, but he is wonderful and is great with my demands (dropping into the office to chat about support and worries etc) and never says I am panicking over nothing.
Anyway DD1 is going there and I hope she will do as well as DS

maddiemo Mon 03-Jan-05 09:31:18

It is a hard decision. I think I would pick the school that seems the best for ds.

I have had three children at three different schools and will have again in Jan when ds4 starts the nursery attached to the mainstream school which ds1 and 2 used to attend.

I transferred my ds2 to the mainstream school where my ds3 attends the sn unit. However he was unhappy at my local school so the decision was easy. I have to drive as the school is five miles away. If you don't drive I think it would be hard on you all to have to bus to school each day.

The advantages of having my sn and non sn children together are that I have a rounded picture of school life and find out a lot of info from my non sn son.

My ds2 does not seem to miss his local school friends. The school had a wide catchment so many children travelled some distance. The children that he plays with on the green outside our house attend a variety of schools.

I keep a calender which has a column for each child. I write everything down as soon as I get any letters. I do get confused especially with ds1 who is at secondary and has totally different school holidays but have not missed any school events yet.

Good luck choosing.

Davrosthesnowwoman Tue 04-Jan-05 09:44:34

Can you put DS down for more than one and make the final decision nearer the time? How much will the special school manage DD's attendance at M/S? Generally we follow the rule that we try to make decisions and choices based on what is best for DS at that particular time and it will work out best for everyone. Difficult though, wouldn't fancy it myself!

SantaFio2 Wed 05-Jan-05 06:46:41

Thanks everyone, i am so undecided still! Glad to know though i am not the only one who worries about these things. The problem with the local school is that it is old, lots of steps and 4 (!!) reception classes. I think it would just be too overwhelming for dd. Plus it has a seperate junior school which her special school think will be too difficult for her to comprhend. Special school will take complete control at her mainstream setting and dd will have a 'familar' support worker from the special school with her at all times until she is advanced enough to manage some time on her own.

The one school has a nursery attched so ds would be able to start there next year but he is so shy and i think he would be better staying in the nursery he is in atm tbh.

Third school is a primary and has a very good reputation with SN children. It has a SEN unit attached (they specialise in hearing impared children but are very experienced with autistic children so that would be good as far as PECS is concerned. Plus it is right by the beach and I am geeting all romantic about the schools setiing, tell me to stop it!!

Oh and there is a fourth, I forgot. Next Village but also has a good reputation.

Oh gawd i still dont know

kid Wed 05-Jan-05 07:27:42

By reading your reply, I think you have already decided that the local school wouldn't be suitable with the steps and 4 reception classes.

Good luck with your decision making, its not an easy job but I'm sure you will make the best choice by looking at all the possibilites. I'm glad my kids are sorted out schoolwise, I would hate to have to choose them all over again!

mum38 Wed 05-Jan-05 12:40:25

Just wanted to say good luck with your decision. it's something I might be facing -I have 3 children who might all be at different schools in a couple years. The school with the good SN department sounds interesting to me. From my experience having a strong SN dept can give the whole school a caring supportive environment which is somthing that would benifit all children. Also how cool to get to play on the beach afterwards!

tallulah Wed 05-Jan-05 17:50:59

Fio, if it's any help I had my four at four different schools for years!

I found that the school that was ideal for one child was no good at all for another, so in the end they had a school each

It helped my ADHD DS that he wasn't having to compete with his brothers (he remains horribly jealous of DS3) & they didn't get that "aren't you Xs brother?" with all the negative connotations that entails! Each one was judged on their own merits & not by something their sibling had done.

Different Inset days were a boon too, giving each child alone time.

(We've now got all 3 boys at the same school- not intentionally (& DD gone to Uni) - & I can honestly say that although the pick up/drop off is much easier, I and they preferred it when they each had their own kingdom.)

    Munster v Leinster in London?

    Havnt seen this posted elsewhere...though it dosnt contain a whole lot of new info......:

    <DIV =LeadPara>FIRST things first. The decision by ERC to again schedule a Munster away game on a Sunday shows scant regard to the loyalty and commitment of their support base. </DIV>
    <DIV =LeadPara>Sometimes you think they are taken for granted despite what the have contributed to the competition over the years. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>Bourgoin, seizing the opportunity to swell their coffers by moving the game to Geneva, are gambling on the reputation of the Munster faithful to travel. I met a number of people yesterday who, working on the principal that the French don’t favour televised Sunday games, booked flights assuming a Saturday fixture. Alas, as happened with the quarter-final against Biarritz in 2005, amongst other games involving Munster, the fans have been greatly inconvenienced. They deserve more. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>By the completion of next weekend’s back to back fixtures as many as thirteen clubs could be out of contention for honours in this year’s Heineken Cup. While the competitiveness of the Celtic countries has grown significantly in recent seasons it is sad to see the complete demise of the Italian sides in this year’s competition. By virtue of Overmach Parma’s shock victory over the Newport Gwent Dragons in last season’s playoff game, Italy now boasts as many sides in this tournament as Ireland and Wales and one more than Scotland. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>Benetton Treviso gave the competition fresh impetus in 2004 when they succeeded in beating Bourgoin home and away and also recorded the historic victory over previous winners Bath. Since then it has been all downhill for the Italians particularly since the majority of their international stars have fled to France and England in search of more regular competition. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>In the six games to date this season Calvisano, Benetton Treviso and Overmach Parma have conceded 436 points, an average of 48 per game. With try scoring such an integral part of the qualification process, teams with an Italian side in there pool are handed a significant advantage. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>It is also more noticeable this year that there is a large discrepancy in the quality of some pools compared to others. It is no surprise for example that Biarritz currently occupy the number one seeding on the basis of maximum victories and bonus points from Pool Six. In fact, victory next weekend against the Borders is certain to secure qualification in the knock out stages with two games to go. Northampton look odds-on to qualify as a best second place team by virtue of the presence of Borders and Parma in this pool. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>Meanwhile Stade Francais, the Ospreys and Sale, three potential winners at the outset of the competition, continue to knock lumps out of each other in Pool Three. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>Guessing the quarter-final pairings based on the seeding at this juncture of the tournament yields some interesting observations. French sides occupy seeds one and two and as a result, Biarritz and Stade Francais respectively would enjoy home ties against Northampton and Castres. </DIV>
    <DIV =TailParas>With Munster and Llanelli each on 13 points, Munster would be classified as the third seed by virtue of scoring nine tries in the tournament to date against eight for the Scarlets. The realisation that Munster’s potential home quarter-final will not be played in Ireland is now only beginning to dawn on many people. Present seeding would see Munster play Wasps, a situation which may force chief executive Garrett Fitzgerald to contemplate a venue in either Wales or France. One presumes the Millennium Stadium or the Parc de Princes in Paris (whic

Jamaican Drinks
contributed by Tracie Blake

We have a wide variety of juicy tropical fruits and so, it is no surprise the type and variety of exciting drinks we prepare.

New! See The Real Jamaica (In videos)? Visit and subscribe our Popular Youtube channel - you'll love it!

And by the way, we don’t discriminate rum, unless a Jamaican is under aged, deeply religious or on medication, he or she will want his drink with Jamaican rum :-)!

These are some of our favourites.

New! Click Here For A List Of Your Favorite Jamaican Drinks Recipes!

Natural Juices

We have the refreshing ice cold coconut water, Irish Moss, Sorrel (a Jamaican favourite to prepare at Christmas time ), Limeade, Tamarind, June Plum, Guava, Soursop, Cucumber and Carrot juices.

These juices, all made with the main ingredient of the fruits they are named after, are perhaps the most popular local drinks.

Oh, and I didn't even mention the roots drinks, that's a whole other story!

Be sure to read more about Jamaican roots drinks here.  I have a fun video there too! If you missed it, here is it (again) below :-)

Bottled Drinks

We have bottled juices in an array of exciting flavours.

In addition to those above, there are carbonated bottled drinks such as Ting made from Jamaican grapefruit - with no preservatives, assorted sodas and the traditional Ginger Beer, made from Jamaican ginger Roots.

jamaican_drinks_ginger_beer jamaican_drinks_grapefruit_ting jamaican_drinks_irish_moss

These drinks are prepared in homes as well as bottled and sold on the local market.

Not to be outdone in preparation are the popular roadside vendors who are known for their naturally squeezed sugarcane juice, freshly made bag juices and steeped roots drinks.

We normally serve all the above over ice or chilled but we do make room for something warm.

And yes, even in this region, we’ve got warm beverages such are the world renowned, Blue Mountain Coffee, Milo and Chocolate.

These are usually sweetened with condensed milk and had at breakfast time.

Rum Based Cocktails

Rum is in practically every Jamaican Beverage you can think of. There is the ever popular Jamaican Mai Tai which is a combination of dark rum and pineapple juice along with other ingredients.

Rum Punch, a mixture of white rum and fruit juices, is also very popular at parties and no need to mention the array of Jamaican martini and Jamaican iced coffee.

The Bob Marley drink is another popular cocktail which comprises of alcohol in the Rastafarian colours of red, green and yellow.

These are poured directly into a glass in the aforementioned order showing a beautiful colour formation.

Other Alcoholic Beverages

Red Stripe Beer is almost as synonymous to Jamaica as reggae music. There is nothing like an ice-cold Red Stripe Beer on a hot day. And now they come in many flavours!

jamaican drinks -red stripe beer

Guinness, although not originally from here, is another popular Jamaican Beer which has a base of molasses and is quite potent - at least that's what the men say.

Of course there are lots more, we won't have time to mention.

Mugabe: ‘I resurrected’

By Sky News

Africa’s oldest leader dismisses rumours he had travelled to Dubai for treatment, saying he was dealing with a “family matter”.

Robert Mugabe has arrived back in Zimbabwe following rumours he was seriously ill and had travelled to Dubai for treatment.

The 92-year-old president, who is Africa’s oldest leader, looked jovial as he left his aircraft with security aides on Saturday, having left a regional summit on Tuesday.

“I had gone on a family matter to Dubai concerning one of my children,” he told reporters, without giving details.

Mugabe is expected to address a youth meeting later on Saturday

Mr Mugabe then joked: “Yes, I was dead, it’s true I was dead. I resurrected as I always do. Once I get back to my country I am real.”

The Zimbabwean leader is expected to address a youth meeting at his party’s headquarters later on Saturday.

Reports that Mr Mugabe’s health is on the decline have become common, but he has often said he is as “fit as fiddle”.

Opposition supporters burn wood and cartons as they clash with police

He intends to run again in elections in 2018, and his wife, Grace, recently said he would rule from the grave.

Political opponents say Mugabe has brought one of Africa’s most promising economies to its knees since he came to power after independence from Britain in 1980.

His absence has raised the level of uncertainty in a country already in economic and political turmoil.

Frustration has been rising over the state of the economy and allegations of government corruption.

haptic considerations

From "Reading by Hand: The Haptic Evaluation of Artists' Books" by Gary Frost:

Are there any additional approaches that will assist evaluation of artistic works in a book format? I suggest that there is an additional topic that could propagate additional tools.
This topic is the aesthetic consequence of a work of book art in the hands of the reader where tactile qualities and features of mobility are appreciated. This is a haptic [pertaining to the technology of touch] domain where the study of touch as a mode of communication is at work. Such evaluations call up deeply embedded perceptions and sensory skills where the hands prompt the mind and where the reader’s understanding can be far removed from the intentions of the artist. .... But how can we provide effective description for a more critical experience of the corporeal book? We can lift it, open it and turn a page. Is it docile or springy on opening, solid or tentative on closing? Is there a live transmission of forces through the structure or is it crippled? What instigates the reader’s ergonomic of comprehension and how are haptic features consequential to the evaluation of book art? .... [A]ll books are art in a world of subtle and critical manual evaluation. If we could delineate it, a manual evaluation or haptic criticism would lay out a physics for book art criticism, using words.

Thomas Chippendale

Cabinet-maker, designer and entrepreneur

Thomas Chippendale - Cabinet-maker, designer and entrepreneur

Starting out as a cabinet-maker in Yorkshire, Thomas Chippendale went on to supply Britain's 18th century elite clientele with the most fashionable furnishings. Rowland Winn, 5th baronet at Nostell, commissioned over 100 pieces of furniture from Chippendale’s firm, which can still be seen today in the grand interior worlds they were designed for.

The State Dressing Room at Nostell, West Yorkshire

Humble beginnings

In 1718 Thomas Chippendale was born in the Yorkshire village of Otley to a relatively humble family of carpenters and joiners. Growing up in an age of opportunity with increased wealth, new materials and new design ideas, he was clearly determined to take advantage of this and progress his status.

Firstly moving to York to work for a prominent furniture maker, Chippendale later went to London where he discovered his talent for drawing; an essential skill for becoming a top-notch designer.

Building a business

In 1754 Chippendale published The Gentleman and Cabinet-Makers Director, the most luxurious and comprehensive book of furniture designs ever created.  Following this, he set up new premises in fashionable St Martins Lane and soon became one of the most sought after suppliers of luxury furnishings.

Chippendale provided a complete service to his elite clientele, ranging from single bespoke items of furniture to complete interiors as well as lots of odd jobs.

The Nostell commission

Chippendale probably became involved at Nostell by personal recommendation of the architect Robert Adam who had been taken on by Rowland Winn in the 1760s to finish Nostell in the latest taste.

Winn had high political aspirations and completing Nostell was part of his plan to advance his family’s status. It was a game of ambition in which Thomas Chippendale was a willing player, hoping to get further recommendations by supplying the Winn family.

Winn used the full range of Chippendale’s services, ordering furniture in all the fashionable styles, from Rococo and Chinoiserie to Gothic and Neo-classical. Chippendale even provided a mangle for the laundry as well as dying old fabrics and fixing jammed doors.

A rocky relationship

A rare collection of archive letters reveals that the Nostell commission proved to be very challenging with arguments over faulty goods and late payments. Winn was bad at paying bills, in part because he was financially overstretched. On the other hand, Chippendale sometimes failed to deliver on his promises and he angered Winn by pushing for payment.

Thomas Chippendale's letters are normally stored at the West Yorkshire Archives in Wakefield

From 2 May 2018, this collection of letters can be seen on display at Nostell in the Chippendale: the Man and the Brand exhibition. Although he is celebrated as 'the Shakespeare of furniture' today, you can see from this correspondence and the fact that there are no portraits of Chippendale, that he was considered in a very different league to the esteemed architect he worked with, Robert Adam.

Rowland Winn died in a coach accident in 1785 leaving the Nostell project only half completed and Chippendale’s firm hugely out of pocket with unpaid fees.

A world-class collection

Following Rowland Winn’s death, later generations of the family continued to develop the house using different designers and styles. Despite this, Nostell boasts some of the most important Chippendale in Britain, with over 100 items ranging from single pieces to complete interiors in the latest Chinese taste, from the humble to the luxurious.

The range of styles and materials within Nostell’s collection showcase the spectrum of 18th century design and tell the wider stories about the world in which Chippendale lived and worked.

Former Student Accuses Equestrian Teacher of Rape - NBC Connecticut

Former Student Accuses Equestrian Teacher of Rape

    5 Things Girls Need to Be Leaders

    An equestrian teacher convicted of fondling a teenager is now being sued by another former student.

    Andrew Srb (Serb), now 37, says Robert Johnson raped him several times at the Quarry Town Stables in Portland in 1987 and 1988, according to the Associated Press.

    Testimony in the civil suit filed against Johnson resumed on Tuesday in Middletown Superior Court.

    Johnson served nine months in prison in 2003 and 2004 for misdemeanor sexual assault against a 14-year-old female student, reports the AP.

    Johnson denies Srb's allegations.  He tells the Hartford Courant that he passed a polygraph test.  He told the paper he is a "cowboy" and that "cowboys don't do what he said I did."

    After his release from prison in 2004, Johnson fought to keep his riding school, Quarry Town Stables.

    Srb said he went public with his story to heal from the incident and to help others.

Greek Officials See 'Serious Indications' Arson Led to Fire That Killed at Least 82 - NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
National & International News
The day’s top national and international news

Greek Officials See 'Serious Indications' Arson Led to Fire That Killed at Least 82

During the fire, hundreds fled to nearby beaches, with many swimming out to sea to escape the ferocious flames and choking smoke

    Hundreds Evacuated to Sea as Deadly Wildfires Burn in Greece

    Hundreds of people had to be evacuated to yachts and fishing boats to escape flames and smoke from rapidly moving wildfires that decimated homes and forests in Greece. Dozens were killed in the country’s worst wildfires in a decade. (Published Tuesday, July 24, 2018)

    Frantic relatives headed to the Athens morgue Thursday to seek the fate of loved ones still missing after Greece's deadliest forest fire in decades, a blaze that Greek authorities said they increasingly suspect resulted from arson.

    Public Order Minister Nikos Toskas said satellite image analysis and ground inspections provided "serious indications" the fire that broke out in multiple places within a short time frame Monday and killed at least 82 people was set deliberately.

    "We have serious indications and significant findings of criminal activity concerning arson," Toskas said. "We are troubled by many factors, and there have been physical findings that are the subject of an investigation."

    He declined to provide more details.

    White Official Tells Black Woman He Belonged to Master Race

    [NATL] White Official Tells Black Woman He Belonged to Master Race

    Some Leavenworth County, Kansas, officials are calling for Commissioner Louis Klemp's resignation after he insulted a black woman who had just presented a land-use study to the commission. "I don't want you to think I am picking on you because we are part of the master race. You have a gap in your teeth. We are part of the master race, don't you forget that," Klemp said.

    (Published Friday, Nov. 16, 2018)

    The fire department's special arson section, which probes all major fires, was conducting the investigation to determine how the wildfire started. The cause of the blaze has not been established. Before Toskas' news conference, the mayor of the area where it broke out said it might have been sparks from a severed electricity pylon cable.

    The death toll from the fire inched up Thursday morning, when the fire department put the number of people killed at 82. Rescue crews and volunteers continued to search on land and at sea for more victims. Many of the bodies were burned beyond recognition, making identification difficult.

    At the morgue, relatives were informed about the steps needed to match one of the bodies held there to a missing person, including providing DNA samples and dental records.

    "The procedure is difficult, harder than that of other mass disasters which we have dealt with in the past as a forensics department," coroner Nikolaos Kalogrias said. "Here, the main cause of death was burning, in most cases the complete burning (of the body), so identification is very difficult."

    Germany's federal criminal police said a team of its forensics specialists was in Greece to help authorities identify the dead. The team members have worked on major disasters such as the 2002 plane crash in Ueberlingen, Switzerland, and the 2004 Asian tsunami.

    The fire broke out near Rafina, northeast of Athens. Fanned by gale-force winds, it raced through seaside resorts of full-time homes and vacation residences popular with Athenians and tourists.

    The large area the flames swept through further complicated the process of identifying victims. Officials said there was no way of knowing how many people were there at the time. By Thursday afternoon, there was still no official number of missing.

    Thanassis Moraitis went to the morgue searching for his 90-year-old mother.

    He had tried to drive away with his mother, wife and 19-year-old son, but the fire was too fast. They had to abandon the car and started running to the beach and into the water. Moraitis suffered burns to his leg from the heat of the air. His mother didn't make it.

    "In the sea, there was a rain of fire, there was smoke, there was a Force 12 wind," said the 53-year-old, adding that boats picked the family up after about three hours.

    "I didn't even get a chance to say goodbye to my mother," Moraitis said.

    Fire department spokeswoman Stavroula Malliri said the search for victims continued and would not end until every building had been thoroughly investigated. Rescue crews had not been able to enter homes that had not been destroyed and were shut, she said.

    FDA Announces Crackdown on Cigarettes

    [NATL] FDA Announces Crackdown on Cigarettes

    The Food and Drug Administration is making moves against the tobacco industry in an effort to crack down on smoking in teens, saying it is working to ban menthol and mint in all cigarettes, as well as flavored cigars. The agency also announced it will limit the sales of flavored e-cigarettes to youths, both in stores and online.

    (Published Friday, Nov. 16, 2018)

    Apart from the house-to-house searches, coast guard and volunteer divers were searching the waters off the coast and a nearby deserted island. Hundreds of volunteers lined up at the Rafina town hall to offer whatever help might be needed.

    During the fire, hundreds fled to nearby beaches, with many swimming out to sea to escape the ferocious flames and choking smoke. Dozens spent hours at sea before being picked up by coast guard vessels, fishing boats and a passing ferry. Several of the dead were people who drowned.

    The worse affected area was the seaside community of Mati, where the majority of victims were found, including 26 people found huddled together, many embracing.

    Arriving at the morgue with her son, Maria Saridou was hoping her 55-year old sister, Eleni, was not among the victims. She had gone swimming with a friend of hers in Mati, Saridou said, but the two became separated in the chaos of the fire. She hadn't heard from her since.

    "We found her car, it wasn't burnt, nor was the house," said 60-year-old Saridou. "It's just that we can't find her. ... I believe she's alive. Where she went, nobody knows where she went."

    Hundreds of homes were burnt. The speed with which the flames spread took many by surprise. The narrow streets of Mati, an area built up with no town planning, quickly became clogged with parked and abandoned cars as people tried to flee, hampering access by firefighting trucks and blocking escape routes.

    One Belgian national and one Irish national were among those confirmed dead.

    Some of the casualties are believed to have tried to make it to the shore through narrow pathways, but lost their way in the thick smoke or had their paths blocked by the swift-moving blaze. Even those on beaches were not safe, as flames burned trees and vegetation at the water's edge, while flaming pine cones rained downward, survivors have said.

    Recriminations about the apparent lack of an evacuation plan and what many perceived to have been a slow response has mounted, with survivors saying they had been abandoned to do whatever they could to save themselves alone.

    Firefighting and rescue efforts, particularly from the air and the sea, were hampered by gale force winds and rough seas. When the Rafina fire broke out, crews were also engaged in fighting a massive fire west of Athens that had broken out hours earlier and also burnt homes.

    But survivors have accused authorities of failing to adequately prepare and for not evacuating the area, as well as not responding fast enough.

    Defense Minister Panos Kammenos visited Mati Thursday morning and was heckled by distraught men and women, who accused authorities of not doing enough in the initial hours of the fire.

    "People died for nothing!" one woman sobbed at the minister.

    Local resident Giannis Kardiakos, who said he stayed in the area until midnight, said efforts to tackle the blaze and to rescue those who had fled to the beaches started too late.

    "There was no protection, there was nothing! ... I'm saying things as they were," he said, as Kammenos detailed what the military and firefighters had been doing to battle the fire. "I'm not lying. We're not talking politically here," he added, before breaking down in tears.

Alex Ovechkin, Carey Price put on a show with superstar showdown in Montreal

Alex Ovechkin, Carey Price put on a show with superstar showdown in Montreal

The best of the NHL was on display Monday in Montreal where the Capitals edged the Canadians 5-4 in overtime. Within the game, a superstar matchup emerged as the top goal scorer of his generation locked horns with arguably the best goalie in the world in an incredible bout that lived up to all the hype that surrounded the game.

”It’s great for the fans, great for everything,” Brett Connolly said. “It’s good to see two really good players go at it like that.”

Throughout his career, Alex Ovechkin has tormented Montreal goalie Carey Price. In 24 regular season games, he has scored on Price 18 times. On Monday, Ovechkin added two more goals to that total.

In the first period, Tom Wilson delivered a blistering pass through traffic right to the tape of Ovechkin who tipped it in past a helpless Price who had been waiting for the shot. He would add a second goal in the third period from the office with the Caps on a two-man advantage.

At that point, a hat trick seemed like a foregone conclusion, but that’s when Price began to battle back.

Price robbed Ovechkin of goal No. 3 with not one, but two brilliant saves in the third period to help force overtime.

With the puck on the left wall, Ovechkin charged the net from the right midway into the third period. Connolly managed to find him with the pass and Ovechkin delivered a one-touch shot that Price snared out of the air Statue-of-Liberty style. Somehow Price managed to get over from post to post to snag the puck with the glove and he made sure to put some extra flair on the save.

With the score still tied at four, Ovechkin made one final push to win the game in regulation.

This time it was Wilson on the right with Ovechkin setting up for the one-timer on the left. Wilson delivered the pass and Ovechkin fired what would have been a buzzer-beater goal with just two seconds left in regulation. Price slid to cover the cross-ice shot, but could not get completely over in time to block the shot. He lifted his blocker up in desperation and just managed to catch the puck and send it out of play.

“Obviously Alex made a great shot, hit the knob of his stick,” Braden Holtby said. “It’s one of those unlucky things. It just happens.”

It was a spectacular save the brought that Montreal faithful to their feet and even drew recognition from Ovechkin himself.

Ovechkin’s initial reaction was one of disbelief, but he soon began applauding along with the crowd and skated over to give the netminder his due.

“It was a pretty cool moment, pretty beautiful save and the fans was cheering for him,” Ovechkin said. “I was kind of same.”

The Caps would get the last laugh with the overtime winner, but this was a rare occasion in which the result of the game as largely overshadowed by the drama that unfolded between two players.

Ovechkin finished the game with two goals against Price, while Price finished with 29 saves including two third period beauties to deny Ovechkin his hat trick.

Capitals head coach Todd Reirden was effusive of his praise of both players after the game.

“It’s stars like that that put on performances like they both did tonight that just make it worth every dime that it costs to come to the game and worth the price of admission tonight for certain with those two."

Undermanned Capitals finish road trip in style with 5-4 overtime win in Montreal

Undermanned Capitals finish road trip in style with 5-4 overtime win in Montreal

Alex Ovechkin stared into the rafters at Bell Centre but he was not looking at all the championship banners.

Ripping a shot from his office in the left faceoff circle with under one second remaining in Monday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens, Ovechkin assumed he had just won a wild one for the Capitals.

Instead, goalie Carey Price’s desperate dive allowed him to get the knob of his stick in the way. Ovechkin looked upward and then all he could do was clap and tap Price as he skated away with a wry smile.

The smile was broader a few minutes later after teammate Lars Eller slipped a shot through Price’s pads at 3:34 of overtime to earn Washington a comeback 5-4 win and end a difficult road trip with a 3-1-0 record with two overtime victories.

Ovechkin scored twice and was robbed of a hat trick multiple times by Price, who allowed four goals but made some astounding saves. The fact that Washington won anyway epitomized a road trip where they played shorthanded from the start.

Evgeny Kuznetsov and T.J. Oshie haven’t played since getting hurt in the second game of the trip at the Winnipeg Jets. Braden Holtby was a surprise scratch before the first game against the Minnesota Wild last Tuesday. He didn’t make an appearance until the second period against the Canadiens, who chased Pheonix Copley from the net with three goals in the first 95 seconds of the second period.

Just like that a 2-1 lead was a 4-2 deficit and Holtby, out three games with an upper body injury, was needed. He stopped all 22 shots Montreal sent his way and gave Washington a chance to rally. Nicklas Backstrom, Ovechkin and, finally, Eller scored on Price to win it.

“Those are huge for the season as it moves on,” Holtby said. “When you are in those situations, you get more and more comfortable. It’s been one of our big strengths the last couple years and to see it happening again, I think that’s a good sign for us.”

It IS a good sign going forward – provided Oshie and Kuznetsov are able to return to the ice soon. With a day off Tuesday and games Wednesday (Chicago Blackhawks), Friday (Detroit Red Wings), and Saturday (at New York Rangers) in a busy Thanksgiving Week there isn’t much practice time.

But for a short time at least missing two of their top five scorers wasn’t a problem. The depth the Capitals showed during last year’s Stanley Cup playoff run is still there. They needed it. And with another four games in six days upcoming, they might need it longer still.

Copley wasn’t as good as he’d been in starts against the Wild, Jets and Colorado Avalanche. But Eller was able to handle a top-six role, Tom Wilson was again a factor in his fourth game back from a 16-game suspension and Washington got a goal from Connolly, who began the game on the fourth line after a rough night in Denver and by the second period against the Canadiens he was on the second line with Eller and Jakub Vrana.

So after losing back-to-back games to end a five-game homestand, the Capitals have stabilized even without a full lineup. At 10-7-3 and with 23 standings points, Washington is in third place in the Metropolitan Division through 20 games.

The Caps have made it through a dangerous first quarter of the season in a reasonable spot. They could be like the Pittsburgh Penguins (7-8-4), who are already making trades and sit in last place after four losses in a row, or the Philadelphia Flyers (9-9-2), who have lost three straight.

Instead, they knocked off one tough road trip (Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal) in late October and then this one in mid November with a 5-3-0 record. Things could have gone off the rails. That they did not is a victory in itself.

Universal TA cloning.

Author information

The University of Mississippi Medical Center, Jackson 39216, USA.

TA cloning is one of the simplest and most efficient methods for the cloning of PCR products. The procedure exploits the terminal transferase activity of certain thermophilic DNA polymerases, including Thermus aquaticus (Taq) polymerase. Taq polymerase has non-template dependent activity which preferentially adds a single adenosine to the 3'-ends of a double stranded DNA molecule, and thus most of the molecules PCR amplified by Taq polymerase possess single 3'-A overhangs. The use of a linearized "T-vector" which has single 3'-T overhangs on both ends allows direct, high-efficiency cloning of PCR products, facilitated by complementarity between the PCR product 3'-A overhangs and vector 3'-T overhangs. The TA cloning method can be easily modified so that the same T-vector can be used to clone any double-stranded DNA fragment, including PCR products amplified by any DNA polymerase, as well as all blunt- and sticky-ended DNA species. This technique is especially useful when compatible restriction sites are not available for the subcloning of DNA fragments from one vector to another. Directional cloning is made possible by appropriate hemi-phosphorylation of both the T-vectors and the inserts. With a single T-vector at hand, any DNA fragment can be cloned without compromising the cloning efficiency. The universal TA cloning method is thus both convenient and labor-saving.

Unlike virtually all other photographers who saw themselves as artists, and were seeking the attention of the museum establishment in the middle of the twentieth century, Richard Avedon was not a lone individual with a camera and a darkroom. He was rather the epicenter of an organization that was a whirlwind of carefully selected professionals and friends that spewed out photographs, both personal and commercial, sometimes several times a day, each meticulously constructed and imbued with his own highly distinct imprimatur. He was acutely aware that the images he was creating were much the better for incorporating the skills of others, be those skills basic and easily replaced, or unique, indispensible, collaborative, and transformational.

I was very briefly near the heart of this system, in the basic and easily replaced category, and on its periphery for much longer. Here I am as a studio assistant in 1970, in the middle of a triumvirate of the easily replaced.

But easily replaced does not mean unnecessary.

The only time I recall that Richard Avedon went somewhere entirely alone with the intention of taking photographs, he came back without photographs, since he had been unable to figure out how to get the film into the camera. But in that instance, what he was lacking was an assistant, not a collaborator.

So if we are going to have a discussion about Avedon the collaborator, we need to define for the purposes of that discussion, just what a collaboration is, and who is therefore a collaborator.

Capote Baldwin.jpg

A person who writes the text accompanying a book of photographs or the person who designs that book or exhibition, is not necessarily a collaborator. If for example, the writer or the designer were not already involved when the photographs were being made, the product is not, in the terms of today’s conversation, a collaboration.

Thus, Truman Capote in Observations and James Baldwin in Nothing Personal are Avedon’s co-authors, they are not his collaborators.

On the other hand, when a significant portion of the essence of a work is done by more than one person—as in the case of Marvin Israel and Avedon’s first retrospective or Doon Arbus and The Sixties—it is a collaboration.

Of course that doesn’t make Avedon any less the auteur. No matter how the work is conceived, he is responsible for the execution, and no one collaborating with Richard Avedon was in any doubt that what they were working on was ultimately a project of his.

Marvin Israel, became the art director of Harpers Bazaar in 1961 after Avedon’s spectacular initiation at the magazine with Alexey Brodovitch, followed by a brief interval with the austere Henry Wolf that had left Avedon starved for a soul mate.

Avedon and Israel immediately entered into a collaborative relationship that continued, broken periodically by ferocious disagreements, until Israel’s death from a heart attack 23 years later, in 1984, in Texas where they were working together on the In the American West project.

Avedon and Marvin Israel, 1963.jpg

Their iconoclastic and radical instincts played out at Harper’s Bazaar coincident with a brief period in the magazine world that allowed art departments to get away with murder.

Among the most notorious, in what was nominally a fashion story, they conspired together with Avedon’s friend, comedian Mike Nichols, on a parody of Paris Match’s coverage of the illicit, secret affair between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Mike and Suzy, HB, Sept 1962, pgs 212-213.jpg

Israel’s last hurrah after less than two years at the magazine was an Avedon cover picture that bore a striking resemblance to a glamorous portrait of the former Harper’s Bazaar fashion editor Diana Vreeland who had recently moved to arch competitor Vogue. Bazaar‘s editor Nancy White, always suspicious of Israel, believed the image to be even more scandalous than it was. Outraged, she confronted him, having assumed the model was actually a man. A furious argument ensued, vicious insults were thrown and Israel was fired.

Vreeland duo.jpg

But Avedon and Israel were already at work on the project that became the book Nothing Personal, intended to be a critique of the state of the nation during the civil rights movement.

For the part of the project involving the American south, they needed a guide, someone who could choose subjects and who had access to that closed, and often hostile society.

South due.jpg

Israel introduced Avedon to Marguerite Lamkin, with whom he had worked at Seventeen magazine. She was a well-born and well connected southerner who had frequently been hired as a voice coach to teach actresses playing southern women, most notably Elizabeth Taylor in the movie of Tennessee Williams’ Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, how to sound like her.

Liz and Audrey.jpg

Miss Lamkin, on whom it is widely believed Truman Capote based the character of Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, agreed to use her connections to provide Avedon with subjects in the south. In the event, many photographs in Nothing Personal were taken on the resulting road trip, which ended abruptly after a telephoned death threat to Avedon in his motel room. Here is Marguerite Lamkin speaking about that trip:

Marguerite, whose charm to this day remains irresistible, subsequently made all the contacts, connections and appointments for virtually the entire book.

I once asked Israel why he didn’t have a copy of Nothing Personal in his studio, and he replied that he had had a huge fight with Avedon just before it was published and never got a copy. He added that he always seemed to have a huge fight with Avedon at the end of every project….The singular exception of course, was the project that was in progress when he died.

After the publication of Nothing Personal, which was eviscerated in the New York Review of Books, five years elapsed before Avedon embarked on another project.

Israel and Avedon (ever his own fiercest critic,) had together concluded that a principal weakness of the photographs in Nothing Personal had derived from the photographer’s consummate skill with the Rolleiflex camera, which they both felt encouraged him to effortlessly slip into a slick satirical or sentimental mode of image making that he actually fundamentally disapproved of.

black duo.jpg

For Avedon’s next project Israel proposed the use of a huge, specially built, deliberately ungainly, non-standard camera in order to solve the problem.

Avedon settled for an 8x10 (20cm x 25cm) camera, which had the desired effect of imposing discipline by immobilizing both subject and photographer.

Israel had also suggested to Avedon that to give the nascent 60’s project form and direction that he should hire Doon Arbus, Diane Arbus’s daughter, to schedule the subjects for the photographs. The project hoped to document the principal players in the anti-war movement from Yippies to rock stars, for a show and book.

Doon Dick & Marvin_4MB.jpg

At 24 years of age, Doon’s writing was already being noticed in the magazine world. Avedon took the advice, interviewed and hired her, and in no time Doon was managing the project, was present at every sitting, and thanks significantly to her listening skills, was conducting all the interviews, often alone, with the subjects.

As the project evolved, it took the form of mounted 8x10 inch contact prints with the subject’s interview glued on the back.

4 up.jpg

The two shared a long desk facing a wall of the pinned up contact prints in

Avedon’s personal office at the studio, where neither of them even had to look up in order to continue a conversation that once begun, continued with occasional interruptions, for the next thirty years.

If you are familiar with any of Avedon’s published writing or more likely his aphorisms on the subject of photography over that time, they were likely written either by Doon and Avedon together, or by Doon alone and subsequently edited together. In any event, the words that emerged spoke with what soon became a single consistent and unmistakable voice.

Thus “My photographs don’t go below the surface, I have great faith in surfaces, a good one is full of clues. Scratch the surface, and if you’re really lucky, you find more surface.” And, “A photographic portrait is a picture of someone who knows he is being photographed, and what he does with that knowledge is as much a part of the photograph as what he is wearing and how he looks.” Also, “There is no such thing as inaccuracy in a photograph. All photographs are accurate, none of them is the truth.” All these and many other ideas emerged from the office with the long desk, and became via the mouthpiece of the auteur a significant part of his legend.

Doon and Dick working.jpg

None of them would have been uttered as they were without Doon’s involvement, but it was Avedon who made the decision to embrace her and weave her into the various manifestations, personal and commercial, of his thing.

When I arrived to work at the studio in early 1970 the place was a hive of activity.

Bea Feitler, the co-art director of Harpers Bazaar with Ruth Ansel, both of whom had been Marvin Israel’s assistants at the magazine, was finishing up Lartigue’s Diary of a Century.

In addition to quantities of commercial assignments, Avedon was photographing, it seemed every day, cultural and political figures that Doon Arbus had found for his 60’s project, which was expected to become an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art and a book.

Planning was also going on for a lengthy trip to Viet Nam, where the war was still very much being fought.

By the end of the year work was proceeding on the book Alice in Wonderland, about the founding of a company and its first production, a play that had tremendously engaged and excited Avedon. The book although entirely Avedon’s idea, was mostly text, written or edited by Doon, and although vibrantly and lavishly illustrated with photographs, Avedon’s name was last on the list of ten people credited with its creation.

Meanwhile, a very large show of photographs was being put together for the Minneapolis Institute of the Arts, funded by the Dayton Hudson Company of Minneapolis, a commercial client of Avedon’s.

His next show was of portraits, at the Marlboro Gallery in New York as described here by Maria Morris Hambourg of the Metropolitan Museum of Art:

All of these projects, culminating as they did as books and exhibitions were conceived and executed as part of a decades long conversation within a small group friends. That conversation covered all forms of cultural life, political life as well as the connection of each of the participants to their own worlds and to the world they had created together and shared with each other. Avedon had managed to surround himself with people who took personal satisfaction from making his work better.

For the celebrations surrounding the opening of the Minneapolis retrospective, all the guests were given Avedon masks to conceal their identities. This picture may be a kind of metaphor for what I’m trying to say.

Marvin, Doon, Diane with Mask.jpg

Obviously, the separate functions and activities of collaborators tend to have very indistinct boundaries, and the relative proportions of their collaborative input are by definition almost infinitely arguable. To attempt to define those boundaries is therefore simply a waste of time; the point is that unlike his peers, Avedon made a choice and a decision to collaborate.

What is impossible to divine is how his pictures and to a lesser degree his words evolved differently than might otherwise have been the case, when their principle creator was involved in decades long conversations about the photographs with intimates who appeared to all outside observers to be indispensable, by the mere fact of the ubiquitousness of their presence.

I am eager to make the distinction between relationships that are purely professionally symbiotic, and the intimate kind of bond that Avedon wove most particularly with Marvin Israel and Doon Arbus, and also with others such as Marguerite Lamkin, writers Renata Adler and Adam Gopnick and with Nicole Wisniak through her magazine Egoiste.

Richard Avedon just scooped up and pocketed the best and the brightest to help him achieve his ends. Renata Adler was introduced to Avedon when she was the first person Doon suggested that he should photograph for The Sixties project.

Renata braid_6KB.jpg

It will come as no suprise that in turn, she was the guiding intelligence behind the 1976 Avedon project “The Family” published in Rolling Stone.

Rolling Stone.jpg

Once his photographic output became primarily devoted to his personal work, and his support structure, built for a very successful commercial photography business, was left in place, the distinction between his comparatively massive modus operandi and that of the other significant photographers of the time, who were all fundamentally solitary practitioners, was dramatic.

The pattern never changed, it never seemed to occur to Richard Avedon not to throw his thoughts and ideas at his trusted insiders and see what bounced back at him, and then once embarked on a project, to keep them very close as it evolved.

I’m going to play two very short clips, first Owen Edwards, writing in The Village Voice. It is very easy in these conversations about photography to lose track of the fact that Marvin Israel was a very active and singular painter, whose work was too controversial to find general acceptance at the time.

It is worth mentioning that just being briefly in the presence of Richard Avedon was for most people an exhilarating experience. For years after I worked for him in London in 1968, I was boring anyone who would listen with stories about that experience and the fact that it had been the most exciting week of my life, and that, it turns out was a typical reaction. It is almost impossible to imagine that the center of such an energy field could be anything other than an entirely self generated force.

On the other hand, there are those, themselves targets of adulation, who understand that brilliance may conceal unheralded support.

When I approached Robert Frank in 2005 and told him I was making a documentary about Marvin Israel, his response was “What took you so long?” For Frank, it was a given that Israel’s influence was seminal to New York’s late mid-century photographers.

Here Frank is having the last word on what collaboration with Israel contributed to their work:

Israel knew “how to frame it, how to keep it, how not to fuck it up in some way.”

Swings cropped.jpg

Probably no one, and certainly no one here today would ever dispute Richard Avedon’s brilliance, but in part it was sustained by his compulsion to surround himself with minds that kept teasing, provoking, goading and inspiring him to eternally continue to outdo himself.
