{"text": "Europe, Iran seek to save nuclear deal after USA pullout\nIt follows a visit by the Iranian diplomat to Beijing on Sunday where he stressed the importance of keeping the accords, which were signed in 2015 with the aim of both halting Tehran's nuclear ambitions and stimulating the country's economy.\nAccording to O Sullivan, where they will begin to develop a \"coherent and consistent policy measures for the conservation of European business interests in Iran, while protecting your investment from the USA sanctions\".\nNew Zealand exported $120 million of goods to Iran previous year, with dairy products making up three-quarters of that. The US backed down before any sanctions were implemented.\"We want to reinforce this regulation and incorporate the recent decisions taken by the United States\", Le Maire said.He also proposed a European agency capable of following the activities of foreign companies. Geopolitical tensions would likely ratchet up to record levels, putting sharp upward pressure on oil prices and breaking the catch 22 of U.S. rising supplies versus Opec plus Russian Federation supply cuts. Iran's exports to Germany meanwhile amounted to 314 million euros in 2016 and 410 million euros in 2017.\nEuropean Union foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini insisted that it's not up to the U.S.to determine the deal's future anyway. \"It depends on the conduct of other governments\".\nThat appears unlikely after US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Tuesday that licenses for the planemaker and rival Boeing Co to sell passenger jets to Iran would be revoked. In the administration's view, measures like crippling USA -led sanctions against Pyongyang's critical industries brought North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to his knees - and the same policy should work with Tehran, as well. He noted another agreement with Iran should be signed. It's obvious that our nation will never allow the Europeans to impose the \"JCPOAII\" through the smile tactic, and our country's foreign policy system should make sure that the European authorities well understood this issue..\nOn May 8, when US President Donald Trump announced his decision to quit the deal, Israel delivered strikes on Iranian military positions in Syria, according to Syrian media.\nRepresentatives in the industry had already expressed their concern about difficulties exporting to Iran, the minister said.\nDonald Trump last night tore up the Iran nuclear deal which could force Britain's biggest businesses out of the country\nDespite complaints in European capitals, Mr. Bolton suggested that European allies might agree to new US approach once they digest Mr. Trump's decision and face the threat of sanctions.\nWhile the focus of Tuesday's talks was on salvaging the nuclear deal, European Union diplomats said they needed some time to clarify the USA policy on sanctions, but also generally toward Iran.\n\"We are on the right path to move forward\", he said.\nIn the CNN interview, Bolton did not respond directly when asked whether Trump might seek \"regime change\" in Iran, or whether the United States military would be ordered to make a preemptive strike against any Iranian nuclear facility. \"President Trump's withdrawal is denying them that wealth, denying them the resources to continue their bad behavior, to take the money away from them\", he said.\nAfter the President threatened foreign firms that continue trading with Iran with \"strong sanctions\", Trump's national security adviser John Bolton told American TV he thought the United Kingdom and France would follow suit and ditch the 2015 deal. \"I think that will sink in, and we'll see what happens then\".\nAnd Germany said it will spend the next few months trying to persuade Washington to change its mind.\nGermany's minister for economic affairs Peter Altmaier said last week that Berlin will try to \"persuade the U.S. government to change its behaviour\".\nWhen asked if this would mean sanctions against firms, the adviser didn't deny the possibility."}

{"text": "Six writers you damn well should have heard of!\nOne thing that depresses me loads is when you see the same authors – and often distinctly average ones at that – being talked up on the discussion lists, generally because they happen to be list members or because someone has met them at a convention and wants to gush that they spoke to A Real-Life Writer.\nAnd then there are the writers where you can't understand why everyone else isn't raving about them. Everyone's got their own 'why the hell isn't Joe Bloggs famous' or 'what on earth happened to …?' list. I could name you a stack of writers who are criminally under-rated and who seem to have fallen off the face of the earth – Jack Dickson, Denise Danks, Karen Kijewski and Pat O'Keeffe spring to mind.\nFor what it's worth, then, here are six authors who appear to be alive, well and still writing but who in my fallible opinion don't get the attention they deserve. And if you check them out, you'll find they're all class acts. In no particular order. . .\nStuart Pawson\nHis police procedural series, set in a fictional town in Yorkshire, is an absolute delight all through. The books, featuring DI Charlie Priest, are like eating chocolate with chilli in. You’re loving the smooth taste until all of a sudden there's a distinct bite there. Pawson is witty and a polished storyteller, but perhaps his greatest attraction is the world he's built around Charlie, with larger-than-life colleagues and small-town life.\nSusan Kelly\nKelly's police procedural series also takes place in a small town – but this one's real (Newbury in Berkshire) It features a hero who has enough personal baggage to be interesting, but not so much that it's same old, same old. Det Supt Gregory Summers is approaching 50 and shacked up with his 20-something daughter-in-law following the death of his son. Kelly never over-does the private life angst, but provides us with well-rounded and believable characters. She tells a damn good story and plots very neatly.\nJosh Lanyon\nHands up all you straights who have read Josh's books? Bet there's not that many of you – and you're missing out big-time. The stories feature Adrien English, a bookseller in Los Angeles, who has a talent for finding trouble and has a rather confusing relationship with a way back in the closet cop. The first two books in the series were published by Gay Men's Press in the UK. When the publishers went under, Lanyon had to self-publish the third, The Hell You Say, with iUniverse, which is absolutely scandalous when you look at some of the dross that's coming out of mainstream publishers.\nMaureen Carter\nThis choice will please my blogmate Lynne Patrick, but she knows very well that I only rave about a book if I genuinely enjoy it. Carter's series, featuring feisty Birmingham cop Bev Morriss, has crackly dialogue, nails the atmosphere of the UK's second city, and brisk and fluent storytelling. It'd work like a dream on TV, but jumps off the pages as it is. Bev's no glossy heroine, but Carter makes you care about her.\nMartin O'Brien\nRead O'Brien's police procedural series, set in France, and you'll believe you're driving down country lanes, the smell of lavender all around, and with an appetising lunch waiting for you at a village bistro. The hero's a rugby player-turned-cop with his own way of doing things, but the maverick angle doesn't overpower the story. And O'Brien's dry humour helps the story along.\nCynthia Harrod-Eagles\nIf you like Reginald Hill, you'll adore Harrod-Eagles, who writes witty police procedurals with a dark underbelly. She's obviously got a cult following, but her books rarely get mentioned, which is a crying shame, as they're full of ebullient language and a likeable main character in the shape of DI Bill Slider. I particularly love her little cameo characters as well as the interplay between Slider and his sidekick DS Jim Atherton. But under the surface humour there's always some unsettling for Slider, both privately and professionally.\nBy the time you've read this blog, I'll have thought of another dozen writers I could easily have mentioned. And you're all probably sighing and rolling your eyes and muttering: \"Damn woman's got no taste. Why didn't she mention …?\""}

{"text": "I’m sure you’ll like to get yoga with your puppy or your dog. For people that practice yoga in their apartments, your dog would be curious to know about all your styles and all your poses. Your dog could even try to interrupt you by lying on your mat as you try to engage in a particular stance. This is one of the best times to invite your beautiful pet to join you so you’ll both have fun and practice yoga. Your dog might not want to join you. They might not be able to do so too. Your dog can join you in meditating and stretching because animals love the energy that comes with these types of practices. Whenever you meditate and practice yoga, your dogs could lie close to you. Look into their eyes, and it could seem like they’ve fallen into a trance or something.\nWays you can Try Yoga with Your Dog.\n1.Engage in Doga Classes\nIf you like to engage in a Doga class, there are lots of chances that you could have several in your town, city, or area. You can check these out on yelp. They would show you how you could locate them quickly. Before your dog and you take your mats and go to Doga classes, you need to get ready. Do you have a social pet? Has your dog showed interest in yoga before. If the answers to both questions are Yes, then you would love to attend Doga classes. This would help in increasing the bond your dog has with you. You could also spend some great quality time with each other. It would also be best to keep your dogs that are not interested in things like these at home.\n2. You can add in some Yoga Stretches as you take your dog out for walks\nYou and your dog might have been going for lots of walks all through your days together. You might not have so much time to attend formal yoga practices. So as you take your pet for a walk, you could include some superb stretches and yoga poses for you and your dog to engage in. Your dog would enjoy this one because it’s going to be fun and exciting. Chelsea Alvarez has stated that you could convert regular activities into practices that include yoga in your essential lives.\nYour pets would be excited, and they would be grateful when you squat to pick the ball of your dog instead of typically bending. This would help your dog because they would want to imitate you and do the same before you know it.\nYou and your dog meditating and committing to yoga would help both you and your dog in more ways than you can imagine. Trust me. So please. Take your dog out when you’re engaged in the everyday things you do, practice some Yoga and watch you and your dog remain fit both in mind and body."}

{"text": "Category: Cuisine\nFrench Laundry: Follow-Up Letter to Chef Keller\nIn regard to my somewhat incomplete post on The French Laundry – where I merely mentioned the disappontment – I’ve been receiving comments along the lines of:\nyou stupid moron, you dont know food\ngo home and cook some soup, idiot\nchef keller is a genius. . .you sir, are not\nAccordingly, I am publishing the letter detailing my disappointment.\nThis letter was physically mailed by my Wife on February 1st, and as of yet I have NOT received a response from The Chef or his staff.\nKeep Smiling, Chef\nChef Thomas Keller\nc/o The French Laundry\n6640 Washington St,\nYountville, CA 94599\nFebruary 1, 2010\nChef Keller –\nI want to commend you on your accomplishments, as having a restaurant that is amongst the most well-reviewed in the entire world is very significant. It is precisely because of these accolades that my Wife and I decided to plan our fourth wedding anniversary vacation around the reservations to The French Laundry.\nI realize that as a young, relatively inexperienced food novice my opinion is probably not very credible to you or your staff, but I do have some comments from the meal that my wife and I shared on January 30th, 2010.\nFirst and foremost, your Maître d’, Nicola, was extremely attentive and knowledgeable, welcoming us to the restaurant warmly, and offering to take our respective jackets. However, after waiting for the greater part of 30 minutes, even Nicola must have felt a tad bit embarrassed – these reservations are set precisely because of the appropriated timing of the Chef’s Tasting Menu – and offered us a drink, which did offset a bit of my apprehension.\nAfter seating, we were forced to wait another 10 minutes before even receiving a drink, an amuse bouche, or a server’s attention. Again, at an inferior restaurant this is notable but at a three-Michelin Star recipient. . .we were beginning to feel as if perhaps we were not welcome in the establishment.\nNow about the food – the most important, I realize – I have no criticisms of the preparation, the ingredients or the execution. Your dishes are paramount to maintaining your reputation, and we have minimal critiques of anything we were served. Once service commenced, the multitude of staff was well-versed on the dishes and ingredients, and treated us kindly.\nThat said, however, we felt a bit short-changed at the conclusion of our meal as well. Knowing that your esteemed Coffee & Doughnuts is in limited-release, we called ahead of time, where one of your employees assured us that this would be noted on our reservation – this was definitely an element of the Keller Experience. It goes without saying, then, that while we watched couplets of dish come out of the kitchen, we surely expected we would be on the receiving end of a duo. Unfortunately, we were not. One of your servers did apologize profusely, advising us to “call ahead next time” – which again, we did, knowing that this exact situation would occur. We were then offered another piece of brioche bread, which while delicious is certainly NOT your Coffee & Doughnuts.\nLastly, we were envious of the patrons that were leaving with copies of their tasting menus, shortbread cookies and other ‘goodies’ in a customized The French Laundry bag. Once we paid our bill, we were notified that the restaurant had indeed run out of the bags as well.\nMr. Keller, I realize that there are certain circumstances beyond your control, but at a restaurant that inspired us to call two months to the day (to the minute, 10am sharp!) to get reservations that ended up costing us close to $1,000 (a steep price for a couple of twentysomethings), we did expect a bit more. In fact, we were very excited to attend Bouchon in our native Los Angeles, but waited to try The Original first. Now, we’re not so sure that we want to visit your Los Angeles location.\nYour food is spectacular, Chef, but we were underwhelmed otherwise. I do not expect you to answer this letter as I know you are busy with your other projects now, but I do hope this is brought to your attention because there are other restaurants out there that are executing to a high-degree, and not disappointing their clientele.\nThank you for your time and if you shall feel so inspired, please do not hesitate to contact us.\nSincerely Yours,\nYKI\nSuper.\nYallKiltIt in the Napa Valley: The French Laundry took us to the Cleaners\nThanks for the feedback about me not posting this weekend. Here’s why YallKiltIt was in absentia:\nMy wife and I were in Calistoga (Napa Valley), Cottage Grove Inn to be precise, celebrating my fourth year of Wedded Bliss. Decided to check out\nThe French Laundry, Thomas Keller’s Three-Michelin Star restaurant, and plan a weekend around the gastronimic/economic overkill.\nReview to come later, but let’s say we walked away much more impressed with the surrounding area – and the aesthetics of the restaurant – than the food itself. Definitely did not live up to it’s two-time Restaurant of the Year (World) rating from Restaurant Magazine.\nOn our Tour-de-Michelin, this place comes in well below:\nProvidence, Melrose/Los Angeles\nGordon Ramsay at the London, Hollywood\nThe Dining Room at the Langham, Pasadena\nCraft, Century City\nJoe’s Restaurant, Venice\nChez Panisse, Berkeley\nLola, Seattle\nThe Hump, Santa Monica\nFurthermore, “TFL” was not as impressive as up-and-comer Fig (Santa Monica).\nIt is, however, superior (in our opinion) to:\nThe Water Grill, Downtown\nOsteria Mozza, Melrose/Los Angeles\n-and-\nRivera, Downtown\nThese are each restaurants that provided same result, emanating from differing perspectives: Water Grill “on the way down and barely hanging on to its Michelin Star,” Rivera & Mozza “the new superstar of Los Angeles”.\nIt’s not to say the food at TFL wasn’t spectacular, it’s just when we pay twice as much for a Chef’s Tasting Menu than you’ve ever paid – even at the priciest of L.A. joints – you expect literal out-of-this-world food. There wasn’t one dish (out of nine courses, two amous bouches & three desserts) that had us saying “wow – I wish we had more of that.”\nAll in all, great weekend and special props to the massage team at Cottage Grove Inn for proving to me that massages really are pretty awesome.\nAlso, Old Faithful Geyser (of California) was pretty amazing, as was our face-to-face with llamas and big-horn sheep.\nFor the remainder of the Napa Valley pics, CLICK HERE. Now back to the sports, hip hop, media & Los Angeles insight. . .\nThe Dining Room at Langham, Pasadena\nSomething a little different today; a kudos, if you will, for Chef Michael Voltaggio of the Michelin-Starred Langham Dining Room in Pasadena.\nThe Top Chef star executed a truly flawless meal. In the past two years, Irene & I have made a concerted effort to eat at the most-acclaimed restaurants in the Los Angeles area, including Providence, Water Grill, London, Joe’s in Venice, Craft, Katsu-Ya (Sherman Oaks) and Fig.\nWith Michael Cimarusti’s Providence being our first two-star (Michelin) restaurant and the most comprehensive meal we’ve enjoyed, Voltaggio did not disappoint – instead, serving seven luscious courses (not including the Amous Bouche, two breads and a post-dessert dessert). Below is the Chef’s tasting menu from the evening:\nThe Dining Room\nChef’s Tasting Menu\nJapanese Shima Aji\nPickled Baby Peach, Sea Sponge, Bonito\n2006 Hans Wirsching Riesling Spätlese Trocken, Iphöfer Kronsberg, Franken\nLangoustine\nYoung Fennel, Lobster Mushroom Lasagna\n2008 Terredora Dipaolo, Falanghina DOC, Campania\nFoie Gras\nAerated Brioche, Concord Grape, Sunchoke\n2003 von Hövel Oberemmeler Hütte Spätlese, Saar\nTurbot\nButternut Squash, Madras Curry, Pumpkin Seed Granola\n2008 Domaine Perrot-Minot, Chardonnay, Cuvée Martine, France\nPastrami Pigeon\nSwiss Cheese, Sauerkraut, Rye\n2008 Santa Maria Valley, Pinot Noir, Santa Barbara County\nJameson Farm Lamb\nVadouvan, Pickled Tongue, Celery, Raisin, Peanut Butter\n2007 Turley Juvenile, Zinfandel, California\nFools Gold\nChocolate, Salty Hazelnut Praline, Milk Sorbet\nGonzález Byass Solera 1847, Oloroso Dulce Sherry, Jerez, Spain\nVery enjoyable experience from service to environ to food, and we will definitely be following Voltaggio to his new digs once the Langham closes for renovations in 2010."}

{"text": "Forgive me for not posting yesterday. I planned to do it during the evening and…well, the movies distracted me from the task.\nHmm, this is a long post to write about… 500+ Spells, hexes, jinxes or curses as far as we know. Although there’s three curses that I can’t do: Avada Kedavra, Crucio and Imperio. There is a reason why it’s called The Unforgivable Curses. Avada Kedavra is the Killing Curse which has no counter-curse or blocking spell although it can be dodged and blocked with solid objects. Voldemort used this curse the most among other spells. He killed a lot of people and only one survived it twice, Harry Potter. Crazy! Anyway, Crucio is the Cruciatus Curse when the victim is slowly tortured by the caster. [Poor Longbottom’s parents] Imperio is the Imperius Curse where the victim performs the unquestioned bidding of the caster without any objections similar to a puppet and its puppet-master. That is what happened to Krum during the Triwizard Tournament in the last phase, the Maze to the cup.\nThis will take all day to do this post. I’ll put this on hold for a moment then work on it as I go. :] xx\n~Portia"}

{"text": "Lidded molds and embed paper are my two latest supply obsessions. I just love how easy it is to put colorful images into soap bars, and the lidded molds make it a snap to make perfectly protected and showcased soaps! So now that it's fall I get to pair up my favorite supplies with Mexican Folk Art, which is fabulous for colorful Halloween inspirations.\nThese soaps use Loteria card images (like Mexican bingo), and then we get to bust out the crafty goodness and decorate the mold like a little shrine. Traditionally for Dia de los Muertos families honor their deceased loved ones with favorite goodies and loads of flashy decorations. So pull out your glitter, puffy paint, rhinestones and glue gun, and have fun! These soaps will certainly be too pretty to use! :)\nSupplies:\n8 oz Soapylove Naturally Clear Soap Base\n2 oz Soapylove Bright White Soap Base\nSoapylove Jewelry Box Colorant Set\nSoapylove Candy Jar Fragrance Set\nWater Soluble Paper - download and print the Loteria Card images onto the paper using a laser printer\n3 Lidded Molds\nRubbing alcohol in spray bottle, knife and cutting board, microwave, measuring cups\nCraft supplies such as glue gun, lace, ribbon, gems, glitter glue, decorative paper, feathers - you name it!\nFirst melt all of the clear soap base in a measuring cup (high heat in microwave for 45 seconds or so). Add a generous sprinkle of the ultrafine glitter from the colorant set. Stir well and pour a thin layer into each mold. Allow to harden.\nMeanwhile, cut the Loteria Card images (they are sized to fit the lidded molds). Reheat the soap base if it has formed a skin..\nMelt the 2 oz of white soap base, allow to cool to 120 degrees. Spray hardened soap in molds with alcohol and pour a thin layer of white into each. Allow to harden.\nReheat remaining clear soap in your cup and add a few drops of Ruby Red colorant. Stir well. Spray white soap with alcohol and pour in red soap to 1/4\" of top of mold (this will make it easier to unmold soap when it's ready to be used). Allow to harden and snap on lids.\nNow you're ready to give these soaps the royal treatment! Use a glue gun to stick on trims all around the edges (front only so you don't glue the lid on), glue fun things like gems or buttons to the sides, decorate the front with glitter glue or puff paint, and you can even glue on paper to extend the background for more decorating surfaces! Think of it like decorating a frame. The sky is the limit!! Now you can hang these up like little works of art. These would be awesome for a fall craft fair. Very eye catching!\nI hope you like this over-the-top soap treatment. If you try it, please comment here and link to your pictures. I would love to see what you do!\nHave fun!\nDebbie, Soapylove\nP.S. Looking for even more Halloween project inspiration? Check out the Fall '09 issue of Let's Get Soapy!"}

Principal\n“ Her pleasant and professional manner towards management, colleagues and parents as well as her high level of motivation and commitment make her a valued and highly regarded member of our team. ”\n— Kristin Wendorf, Lara Berlin\n“ Due to Ms. Oyegun's enthusiastic way of teaching, and the special learning culture that she created inside and outside of the classroom, she encouraged the curiosity and eagerness of the children to learn and to develop their individual talents and interests. ”\n— Drs. Hasel & Tekin, Parent Representatives\n“ I am highly impressed by the academic and social achievements my daughter and her classmates made within the last two years. Ms Oyegun took over Leoni’s class in 1st grade after only one week of school. Despite the difficulties associated with the immediate class teacher exchange, and the fact that the class was known to be challenging, Ms Oyegun succeeded within the shortest time to help the kids develop into a group of well-behaved, responsible and highly-motivated young learners that enjoy coming to school every morning. ”\n— Hedda Wardemann, Parent\n“ As parents of a first grader, we could not have been more impressed with the results of our son’s school year. Under a progressive educational mandate, Ms. Oyegun found the perfect balance of academic rigor and child-directed lessons. An equal weight was given to social and emotional development. Our son found structure, comfort and a deep enthusiasm for learning under Ms. Oyegun’s guidance. She taught from a place of empathy in all of her lessons and advocated for our children and their best interests. We would be hard pressed to find a teacher that gave more thought, time or effort to the well being of her students. ”\n— -Michelle & Luke Hale, 1st grade parents\n“ At the start of first grade, my daughter could barely read sight words. I was very sensitive to this fact, being a parent whose first language was not English. English had always been somewhat of a struggle for me, and the gift of reading was something I envied. However, after being in Osa’s class, the English language has come to life for my daughter. Stories are magical, words are rich, and expression comes with every breath and punctuation. Today my daughter's favorite activity is reading. On the bus, in the subway, and snuggled with a nightlight in the corner of her bed... never will you find her without a book. In fact, crossing the street has become a hazard! There is a story of a man who come to a Rabbi with a book in his hand and says, \"I need peace.\" And the Rabbi says, \"you are already blessed with the greatest peace of all. Your love of books.\" Osa sets boundaries for children - but within these boundaries my child found independence and peace that hopefully she will nurture forever. ”\n— - Sharon Y., first grade parent"}

{"text": "The Spark of Genius Series highlights a unique feature of startups and is made possible by Microsoft BizSpark. If you would like to have your startup considered for inclusion, please see the details here.\nQuick Pitch: Foodily lets users search across multiple sites by ingredient, see recipes that their friends like and create Facebook events around recipes.\nGenius Idea: My grandmother's fat box of handwritten recipes is splattered with evidence of family candy-making sessions, holiday meals and her often-shared famous cranberries recipe. My mother has a similar box, which she pulls out before potlucks to search for a friend's casserole recipe.\nMy recipe box, on the other hand, resides on the Internet.\n\"Food is inherently social,\" says Andrea Cutright, the CEO of startup Foodily. That nobody has taken a serious stab at integrating a recipe database with the most prevelant social platform of the day — Facebook — seemed like a missed opportunity to Cutright and her co-founder Hillary Mickell.\nThe two women have created a search engine that pulls in recipes from sites ranging from small food blogs to dominant online recipe publishers like the Food Network. Users can search by ingredients, by excluding specific ingredients, or even by vague terms like \"vegan dinner.\"\nStarting Wednesday, they'll also be able to connect their Facebook profiles to the site in order to \"like\" dishes and view who else in their networks liked the dishes that appear in their search results. They can also create menus, share them with friends and include them in Facebook event pages.\nThe startup is by no means the first site to combine social interaction and recipes. Allrecipes.com, Cooks.com, BakeSpace.com, and Nibbledish all foster community and encourage comments on recipes, but they do so among strangers. Foodily thinks it can distinguish itself by integrating with users' existing networks.\nFoodily's search engine, which launched mid-December, is also a distinguishing factor. Because it indexes every recipe by every ingredient, advertisers know exactly what recipes users are looking at. The startup hopes to use this advantage to sell advertisers an opportunity to distribute coupons to users who are looking at recipes that call for their products.\nIndex Ventures, at least, sees this is as a viable revenue stream. The firm has contributed $5 million of Series A funding to the idea.\nThe startup's success now depends heavily on whether home chefs are ready to set aside crowdsourced recipe sites — and old index-card recipe boxes — to make Foodily their social recipe resource.\nFoodily\nImage courtesy of iStockphoto, StudioThreeDots."}

{"text": "TOKYO (AP) — Hermit Kingdom? Not quite.\nTo pay close attention to North Korean diplomacy is to notice the many ways it upends the stereotype of the isolated, nuclear-armed wildcard of Northeast Asia.\nYes, the country’s propaganda services are prone to rhetoric meant to convey a sense of towering fury, mostly for domestic consumption. But before the coronavirus outbreak sealed its borders, North Korea’s state media reported on a steady stream of select foreign diplomats, academics, journalists and delegations trooping up to the capital, Pyongyang.\nAlong with scattered embassies throughout the world, the North also has a permanent mission at the United Nations in New York, where one of its diplomats will dutifully, if virtually, join other world leaders speaking at the annual U.N. General Assembly.\nThe United Nations makes a point of welcoming all nations, regardless of political persuasion. But in many ways, there’s a love-hate relationship between the North and the U.N. And it raises a lingering question: What, exactly, does North Korea get out of membership in the United Nations?\nOn the one hand, the world body, with its jumble of nations — big and small, rich and poor, powerful and weak — gives North Korea, which is formally known as the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, or DPRK, a rare and highly visible platform from which to respond to the criticism it faces. Most of that comes from what it considers the world’s leading bully — the United States — and its allies.\nBut the United Nations also generates a fair share of that criticism. It puts the North’s diplomats regularly on the defensive as they battle a stream of official reports, investigations and motions that point out the North’s abysmal human rights record, its decades-long, coffers-draining pursuit of nuclear-tipped long-range missiles and other charges of infamy.\nOne important thing the North gets from the U.N.: a direct point of contact with the 192 other member nations, including a host of countries that would be loath to send their diplomats to pay homage in Pyongyang — the United States pre-eminent among them. The two nations don’t have formal diplomatic ties, and Washington relies on Sweden as its consular proxy in Pyongyang.\nThis means the North’s U.N. mission in New York is something of a substitute for an official embassy in Washington. When one side needs quick contact with the other, they often use the so-called “New York channel” at the United Nations.\nA good example of the importance of the “New York channel” came as the two sides were working out details of the three extraordinary summits between Donald Trump and Kim Jong Un in 2018 and 2019.\nWith the United Nations, “North Korea gets an excellent venue to work bilateral conversations with every country in the world without having to deploy diplomats in member capitals (at great expense), or have them travel to Pyongyang,” said John Bolton, who has served as both the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations under George W. Bush and as National Security Adviser under Donald Trump.\n“The criticisms of North Korea will come anyway, and having a U.N. mission gives the DPRK proximity to media markets and universities in order to respond,” Bolton said in an email. He added: “The opportunities for DPRK intell gathering go without saying.”\nThe usefulness of the United Nations for the North is perhaps most obvious during times of high tension.\nIn 2017, for instance, when animosity and back-and-forth threats between Trump and Kim had many fearing the possibility of war, North Korean officials used the media at the U.N. to repeatedly respond to Trump, holding several press conferences and reaching out directly to reporters with statements.\nIt’s true that quite a lot of what comes out of the U.N. is not to the North’s liking, and its diplomats have stormed out of gatherings critical of the country’s human rights, considered among the world’s worst. But then they’ve also used the body to amplify their side of things.\nOf course, North Korea would have more vibrant and substantial diplomacy with other U.N. member states if it abandoned its pursuit of a banned nuclear weapons program, according to analyst Chung Eunsook at the private Sejong Institute near Seoul.\n“When North Korea becomes a non-nuclear state and opens itself up, it can better engage in multilateral diplomacy as a genuine member of the international community,” Chung said.\nPart of the North’s approach to diplomacy is the result of its turbulent history, and the outsized role the United States and the United Nations play in it.\nNorth Korea was born when the Korean Peninsula was liberated from Japanese colonialism at the end of World War II, only to be forcibly divided into a Soviet-backed north and U.S.-supported south. Three years later, North Korea and South Korea became nations. Two years after that, in 1950, North Korea sneak-attacked the South to start the bloody three-year Korean War. That drew in China on the North’s side and the United States and a host of other nations fighting under the U.N. flag on the South’s.\nThat war has never technically ended, and the line between the North and South is the most heavily armed border in the world.\nThese days, aside from the North’s operations at the U.N., there’s little reason to expect the kind of diplomacy that came in 2018, with Kim Jong Un meeting with leaders from the United States, Russia, China, Vietnam and South Korea.\nKim is facing domestic crises on several fronts: a crumbling economy battered by unrelenting sanctions; a ragged infrastructure that’s been pummeled by a string of typhoons; and the COVID pandemic, which has caused North Korea to seal its borders even with China, its economic lifeline.\nStill, the U.N. speech at the General Assembly next week will be an opportunity for the North to take to the world stage and express its own vision of nationhood — the storyline of a proud, beset people who have been forced to embrace nuclear weapons to survive against unrelenting hostility from the United States, South Korea and their allies.\nMore generally, the speech will be “an attempt to win favorable international opinion,” said Choi Kang, vice president of Seoul’s Asan Institute for Policy Studies. And that ability to reach out and be heard by global hearts and minds — in a way as rare as it is direct — may, when it comes to North Korea’s U.N. membership, be the biggest benefit of all.\n___\nAssociated Press correspondents Edith M. Lederer at the United Nations and Hyung-jin Kim in Seoul contributed to this story.

Even in DC, which is a metropolis, I find myself wishing I had a car because the subways are meh, at best.\n---------------------------------------------\nIn NYC we have a great subway system. We love complaining about it, but it really is as reliable as a subway system can be. However, riding the subway here is pretty much a disgusting experience. I'm used to it, but I can imagine that tourists must find it even nastier. I often fantasize about just being able to take my nice clean car to work instead of having to cram my way into a sardine can of a subway car, smelling everyone's ass, armpits, and hot breath.\nIt is super convenient though. And definitely cheaper than owning a car. The cost of parking here is close to a second rent.\n-----------------------------------------------\n\"I have a very poor way of concealing my dislike of people and/or things.\" -- Evil_Cupcake's Mom\nHere's the thing, Kristen Stewart is annoying and bland as fuck, but who the fuck is this Jennifer Lawrence trick to open up her fucking judgemental trap and deposit her two-cents worth. Bitch don't act so holier than thou, you're still in Hollywood, Ho.\nAlso, not to be a cuntcream and get called a body image shamer, buuuut, trick looks more appropriate in those pictures to play Katshit or whatever her character's name is, than she did in the actual movie.\n~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~\n\"What if all you understand could fit into the center of a hand? And then you found it wasn't you, who held the sum of everything you knew?\"\nJennifer's boyfriend is gorgeous; no need for her to cheat.\nAll I have to say about Jennifer is that she's gorgeous, she was amazing in \"Winter's Bone,\" and she's a big goofball.

Are you kidding me? That guy is clearly gay. I don't understand this Hollywood charade of being linked with people just for press.

JEAH! thats right, those dicks better not get close to me or else ima arrow them right in the eye, penis eye! and her name is Katniss, which is an ancient civilization name long before our time, used to describe gayelles. it was actually homer who used it first in greece when he saw a two greek ladies licking their cats (not the meow meow type) and said to himself, ahh katniss.\nso there you have it! another day, another lesson from loopy.\nCheaters think everybody else cheats.\n*______________________________________*\nI'm a heretic. Feel free to drive me from your midst.\nIt is sad that somebody so much more talented and better looking would think of Stewart as a rival.\nI understand the complaint that she is doesn't look like she is starving...but I think we need to factor in:\nA) Katniss is one of the only people in her District who eats more regularly because she hunts her own food illegally.\nB) The target demographic for the films is teen girls, who would see Katniss as a role model so I think it is good that they let her keep her natural, healthy, gorgeous body instead of insisting she drop 20 pounts to look like Kiera Knightly or something\ni love the pic where she is filling up the car and the fat man is flipping someone off. she has a look on her face that looks like he got her with a silent but deadly.\nTB- yeah, I can buy that argument...hunger has a certain look to it for sure.\nKatshit shouldn't be worried about cheating on her hot, maybe-gaybe boyfriend and focus on these so called \"friends\" who mant to tell tales out of school for a buck.\n**********\nShiitake happens...\nSubmitted by Daniee on Thu, 08/16/2012 - 4:33pm.\nIf you don't that world is ending type of film plots...don't watch Viggo Mortenson in The Road - I could barely watch it..just so real and fucked up.\nTHanks for the info Daniee.

When I lived in Texas I didn't have a car, and it took me about 2 hours to get to college via three buses (another two hours to get home.) A lot of employment options were unavailable to me because I couldn't get to work on time using just the bus service.\nSome metropolitan areas are so awesome with public transportation that you really don't need a car. I fantasize about living in a place like San Francisco or NY city where you can just walk or ride anywhere you like. But that stuff takes infrastructure and city planning and most places in the US just don't have that.

Kristen was an anomaly. In the history of Hollywood, no one like her has ever been embraced and entrusted with so much. She is very undeserving. And, like the housing market correction, she finally got brought down to reality - her true worth. She's a vapid, stuttering, lying misanthrope, who cashed in on the desperation of plain girls (and women) everywhere who could project their mediocrity onto her, and still get the hot guy, the money, and the magazine cover.\nIs J-Law a tuna tasting gayelle?\n·...¸><((((º>·´¯`·. ¸.><((((º> .·´¯`·..·><((((º>\nVisit The Freckle on Lindsay Lohan's Lip on Facebook.\nLove Jennifer Lawrence....I've never seen Winter's Bone, though.\n********************************************\nTime cast a spell on you but\nYou won't forget me\nI know I could have loved you but\nYou would not let me\n-Fleetwood Mac\nSubmitted by Tyroan on Thu, 08/16/2012 - 5:09pm.\nAnyone who has seen Winter's Bone wouldn't mention Jennifer Lawrence and Kristen Stewart in the same breath.\n------------------------------\nThis.\nWell yes, the gas prices at the US are very high.

{"text": "Open Access Repository\nRecurrent nuclear DNA introgression accompanies chloroplast DNA exchange between two eucalypt species\nDownloads\nDownloads per month over past year\nAbstract\nNumerous studies within plant genera have found geographically structured sharing of\nchloroplast (cp) DNA among sympatric species, consistent with introgressive hybridization.\nCurrent research is aimed at understanding the extent, direction and significance of\nnuclear (nr) DNA exchange that accompanies putative cpDNA exchange. Eucalyptus is a\ncomplex tree genus for which cpDNA sharing has been established between multiple\nspecies. Prior phylogeographic analysis has indicated cpDNA introgression into the\nwidespread forest species Eucalyptus globulus from its rare congener E. cordata. In this\nstudy, we use AFLP markers to characterize corresponding nrDNA introgression, on both\na broad and fine spatial scale. Using 388 samples we examine (i) the fine-scale spatial\nstructure of cp and nrDNA introgression from E. cordata into E. globulus at a site in\nnatural forest and (ii) broad-scale patterns of AFLP marker introgression at six additional\nmixed populations. We show that while E. globulus and E. cordata retain strongly\ndifferentiated nuclear gene pools overall, leakage of nrDNA occurs at mixed populations,\nwith some AFLP markers being transferred to E. globulus recurrently at different sites.\nOn the fine scale, different AFLP fragments show varying distances of introgression into\nE. globulus, while introgression of cpDNA is extensive. The frequency of E. cordata\nmarkers in E. globulus is correlated with spatial proximity to E. cordata, but departs from\nexpectations based on AFLP marker frequency in E. cordata, indicating that"}

{"text": "Watch Athena: Goddess of War\nFavorite\nAthena: Goddess of War is a dramatic television series that focuses on the life of a spy. The series centers around the introduction of a nuclear program in South Korea. The government is attempting to launch the program, but one of the country's primary scientists has refused to help and is trying to leave the country. Dr. Kwon is the South Korean spy who has been tasked with tracking the scientist down.\nDr. Kwon was successful in his mission and now is leading the country's counter-terrorism task force. Dr. Kwon also faces difficulty from a rival who is now working with an American spy agency. There are many double agents and cross dealings back and forth.\nDr. Kwon's rival is ruthless and he ends up having the President's daughter kidnapped. The goal of kidnapping the President's daughter is to use her so the President will hand over the nuclear scientist in exchange for his daughter's life. The spies fake Dr. Kim's death in an attempt to get Dr. Kwon's rival to release the President's daughter, but his plans fall through. The spies then fake a hostage situation which also fails to work, and the scientist is killed.\nBefore he died, it is discovered that the nuclear scientist performed a lot of work on the secret government project. There are many dramatic back-and-forths between the two rival agencies. One spy from the counter-terrorism task force falls in love with another spy from the rival agency and their relationship tends to complicate things. The rogue agency ends up infiltrating the counter-terrorism unit and killing many agents. The female agent who was in love with the male agent attempts to kill herself because she is so embarrassed at betraying her countrymen. However, her life is saved and she is granted amnesty and leaves the country. After the battle has ended, her male lover decides to track her down.

{"text": "I’ve just recently returned from an amazingly relaxing vacation in Cancun, Mexico where in only 8 short days I was able to accomplish several things:\n- Get an amazing tan.\n- Drink several gallons of tequila.\n- Read 6 novels by the pool.\n- Eat enough guacamole to feed a small 3rd world country.\nUpon my return I’ve really let my reading habits go back to shit, however, I’m determined to keep my tan, tequila-drinking stamina, and new-found guacamole habit at their heightened levels. I’m an achiever.\nGuacamole is one of those things that’s super simple to make…it’s really all about finding the best ingredients. First and foremost, the perfectly ripe avocado.\nMy proven method is to squeeze every avocado in the store until I’ve either found the ones I guess are perfect (just enough give) or ruin the entire bunch for all the other shoppers. But, apparently, there are more foolproof methods. The Kitchn Blog suggests checking under the stem to see if the fruit is ripe and perfect. While another touch-and-go method I’ve used in the past is to simply buy them unripened (too hard to the touch) and put them in a brown paper bag overnight with the top rolled closed and the next day–Viola Davis!–they’re perfectly ripe and ready to use. Great guacamole really does come from using the perfectly ripened, creamiest avocados you can find though…so do your best.\nThe ingredients:\n- 3 ripe avocados\n- 1 lime\n- 1/4 red onion\n- 1 small tomato\n- 1 handful of cilantro\n- 1 garlic clove\n- salt\n- crushed red pepper flakes\nHalf your three avocados. Remove the seeds. Score the avocados into large squares with a paring knife and scoop the sections into a medium sized mixing bowl.\nZest the lime and add the zest to the bowl. Now coat the avocado with the juice of the lime and add about 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and red pepper flakes. Stir to coat.\nNext, finely mince about 2 tablespoons of cilantro and add that in. Finely dice the small tomato and squeeze out the majority of the juice before adding it to the bowl.\nNow just finely mince 1 clove of garlic and about 1/4 cup of red onion and add that in, as well.\nJust mix all that together, mashing some of the larger avocado pieces and leaving some whole for chunkiness, taste it to be sure it’s spicy or salty enough for your tastes, and enjoy (with or without tequila). Ole’!"}

{"text": "Dealing with online trolls can be a challenge. Back in the BBS days, it was easy. There were only a few hundred members of Israel’s Ultinet, so when someone went too far, they were given a few warnings, then a few suspensions and finally the rare banning. We had I_Flame for letting it loose anonymously.\nWhen AOL connected to the internet, the trolls came out of the woodwork. In the 90’s, it was fun to join email lists and participate in message boards (forums). Quality discussions took place – from politics to music and culture, ideas were exchanged and we respected one another.\nThat changed in the year 2000, when the Internet population hit a critical mass. I saw it coming when I had to leave a few online music forums. Who wants to wake up and read people trashing each other over our morning coffee? Even though I wasn’t the one being attacked, I didn’t want to expose myself to it. A friend who is a fan of The Lion King told me the same thing – he left a big Lion King email list for the same reason. Who wants to deal with trolls on a Disney forum?!\nCrashing a Warcraft Funeral Ceremony\nThe World of Warcraft forum took trolling and online rudeness to a whole new level. You can’t imagine the immaturity that went on there. The in-character trolling that I saw was a reminder that there will always be a need for therapists. Perhaps the lowest level of online game trolling took place in 2006. A girl died of a stroke (in real life) and her Warcraft friends decided to have an in-game memorial service in a contested area, so friends on both sides (Alliance and Horde) could pay their respects.\nThey posted messages about the upcoming ceremony so friends would know when and where to show up. When dozens gathered, a rival clan rushed the scene en masse and massacred everyone. You can watch the video here –. The text that accompanies the video will give you a taste of online troll weirdness. While they weren’t breaking rules of the game, it was definitely low life behavior. Can you imagine waking up and deciding to ambush an online memorial service? I’d rather listen to Ringo Starr outtakes.\nAnti-Israel Trolls\nEvery active Internet user has seen or experienced online trolling. The Times of Israel — or any online newspaper — will never have the resources to delete every rude comment, so they deal with the worst of the worst.\nAs you all know, everyone has an opinion about Israel and how we should solve the conflict. I don’t have any solutions for it and am bored of reading about it. I barely care about my own view of what the map should be, much less someone else’s. I only watch the news when missiles fly. Wake up me when there’s a peace referendum is what this reformed news junkie thinks. I think the politics trolls (whether on our topic or others) are pathetic. They don’t seek a dialogue, they’re just venting.\nI don’t read the talkbacks and comments on articles – in Hebrew or English. I don’t visit online forums anymore. I got to a point in life where I have my views on everything from alien life to how to save the Amazon. I’ve heard all sides and am not interested in engaging in an endless discussion. Why should I care what a stranger thinks about an article in a newspaper? To me, this isn’t cynical, it’s mature. In fact, it helps me to wake up with a smile and have a positive outlook on life. How is reading snarky comments going to help me achieve my goals?\nDealing With Online Trolls\nImagine you’re sitting in a restaurant having a pleasant conversation with a friend. A stranger walks up to you and starts cursing and trashing you. What would you do? Would you invite him to your table for dessert? Absolutely not. You would tell the waiter and do your best to ignore it. Eventually, you and your friend would get up and leave.\nTrolls are strangers who you would never invite into your home. The same rule applies online. You have every right not to allow them into your personal space. The temptation is to respond, but your best bet is to say it to yourself and not type a thing. That’s exactly what the troll wants from you — attention and the sick thrill of knowing he or she made you angry.\nJust as we learn in the real world who to allow into our lives and who not to, we need rules for dealing with online strangers. Picture the troll knocking on your door and yelling at you. You know exactly what you would do – quietly shut the door, sit down on your couch and press play.\nThere will always be people who can’t con-troll themselves. Like Ben Gurion’s classic quote (forgive me!), “what matters is not what the trolls will say, but what we will do.” Or not do.\n–\nRead Start-Up Israel to keep your finger on the pulse of Israeli high-tech and innovation!"}

{"text": "Conflict is a part of everyday life. We are at conflict with ourselves probably more often than we are with others. Yet, conflict with others comes without warning. Having not predicted many a ‘current situation’ (read: “Houston, we have a problem.”) we end up being flummoxed by an unreasonable other—who might reasonably think we too are being unreasonable. Hence a conflict emerges.\nPeople who were, only a moment ago, our friends and dear family—besides acquaintances we end up in conflict with—can, for a time, become enemy No. 1.\nWithout anticipation, apart from the wonder of 20/20 hindsight, we find ourselves disposed to anger for betrayal, as they are too. But there is another outlook that comes into view, even in the midst of the conflict—even as we and they fight.\nThis outlook is the vantage point of compassion; for what they are going through.\nSwitching Our Focus\nWe struggle to get past ourselves. This is especially so in conflict. We polarise into our unmet needs, forgetting the significance in the other person’s needs. Their needs are equally significant.\nWhen we switch our focus onto their needs, trusting God to provide for ours, we not only have the opportunity to see what they are going through, our attitudinal perspective becomes less emotional in an instant.\nAll we are really called by God to do in this relational world is love others as we would have them love us. That’s easy enough to achieve when things are going swimmingly. The true test is whether we can do this at times of conflict.\nBut when we switch our focus, trusting God, even just to simply enquire within our minds how the other person experiences this conflict, our compassion nurtures fresh insight. We gain some God perspective. We don’t just see our narrow standpoint.\nSwitching our focus has the effect of steadying us emotionally so we can work toward outcomes that benefit everybody party to the conflict.\nWhen we achieve this perspective we find our own agenda is not worth fighting for; but the God agenda is. Sometimes we may actually be advocating for the God agenda, in which case we must simply revise our mode of engagement so ‘the enemy’ doesn’t feel so cornered.\n***\nTurning conflict into compassion starts with us. When we treat others as we would like to be treated, we become less threatening and we invite reasonability to the conflict. There is justice in a love like this. It works.\n© 2012 S. J. Wickham.\nNote: Only a member of this blog may post a comment."}

Show me a “clean” old man who will look the other way and not look at any one the girls pictured above, that is of course if he is not infirm or bed-ridden.. so the blind and the very sickly do not count in this test. If you succeed in doing so, then stone me and stick me with whatever label you want.\nWhen people of my generation go out these days we are bombarded with an overdose of assorted dressing styles that are alluring whether intended or not. This is more so in the bigger towns. Even when senior citizens like me are going about minding our own business we get, well, “distracted” or should it be attracted. At least younger men can do something about it and make a pass. But we are helpless. Even some girls who wear tudungs do not offer us much protection either as they do not bother much about covering up other parts of their body. So please give us a break.\nOf course many ladies will say that it is their right, freedom and liberty to dress as they please and project their sensuality, personality etc. etc.. Go ahead, it is fine with me and I am not complaining here. Just do not condemn us men in general and older gents in particular if they happen to ogle at you. Well go on and show off your whatever you feel are you assets and we will admire them with full adoration and silent praise. That’s all to it."}

{"text": "Being yet another theater project update\nand a return to full-time writing about flashbacks . . .\nNow\n'Cause we were never being boring\nWe had too much time to find for ourselves...\nAnd we were never holding back\nor worried that\nTime would come to an end\nWe were always hoping that, looking back\nYou could always rely on a friend\n--Pet Shop Boys, \"Being Boring\"\nIn the past week my work on the novel took a backseat to (or at least a costarring role with) the theater project site. During this time, my normal six-hour book-writing days weighed-in at something like three hours. The rest of the time (which wound up being way more than those missing daily three hours) was devoted to rethinking and redesigning the website of the theatrical presentation, as explained in the previous post.\nAll those years in publishing have made me a pretty good estimator. Exactly a week ago to almost the hour, Bazz and I sat in a neighborhood grill and, over a couple of beers, decided to Get Serious about theater project site. At the time, I said it'd take a week and, well . . .\nFor those interested, the sneak preview of the new site has been updated to reflect the latest, near-final changes to the design. It can be found here. Being a sneak preview, not all the links are working--but the ones needed to navigate the three sample pages are functional. Also, the overall speed of this preview also approximates its real-world build and refresh rates.\n(And--ahem--as for the fan mail I've received regarding my bio photo in the sneak peek of the site, gee, er, thanks--I think. The favorable response suggests that (a) I should smile more often in photos or (b) continue to use artful lighting or (c) move the photo to my blog biography and retire the pic of Snotty Me (which saddens, because I work very hard at being snotty). Or maybe all of the above. Also know that the whole Gregory House Thing has already been noted by friends. Unfortunately--for all of us--they are referring to my personality and leg in addition to the beard. But, again, thanks for the well-meaning comparisons to an unpleasant Vicodin addict . . . )\nWhile I've been up to my moustache in coding, Bazz has been polishing the demos to be featured on the New and Improved Site, both remixing and re-recording a number of the tunes. While this is necessary as we prepare for recording the backing vocals with two pretty phenomenal singers--and also desirable in that both the site and the songs will be newly shiny--the rethinking in the studio has yielded some remarkable course corrections.\nFor instance, as the theater iteration of the story shaped up, it became clear to Bazz that \"I Love You Now\" needed to be made a bit disquieting in a way that would foreshadow the story arc of the libretto. Because of this, something amazing happened in terms of the lyric's reading--rather than underscore the \"time\" aspect of the song, Bazz remade it emphasizing \"no guarantees.\" The change of psychological inflection is startling. Full of wonder, it still chronicles a love story--but one, perhaps, that has begun to fray even as it reaches its peak. And in beginning to crumble at the edges, the new \"I Love You Now\" sets up the conditions for the next song--the disco duplicity of \"Losing Ground.\"\nHeard in the context of the project--surrounded by the other songs in proper programmatic order--the impact is spot-on. I'm thankful for Bazz's insight because I'm certain that I'd never have been in the position to have a similar ah-ha moment. I wrote the piece years ago as a meditation on eternal love in a temporal world. It took someone sufficiently sensitive and at a distance from my own sensibilities to see that the snake had already entered the garden: Bazz didn't add lines; he simply shifted the focus to \"there's never guarantees\"--which were part of the lyric from the outset.\nFor audiences, the interplay of songs with libretto has been made more seamless by Bazz's understanding of the song. But for me, it has been a revelation--albeit seven years later: Damn! That's what I meant! Of course! The unconscious is an amazing thing, and I'm afraid that mine is like one of those multiplex cinemas. I had no clear idea that Doubt had already been playing on screen eight all those years ago until Bazz highlighted it.\nIt occurs to me that this anecdote it a good example of the iterative nature of my collaboration with Mr Atlas. First come the words, then Bazz's musical response, then my response to the complete song, then Bazz's response to my reaction and--sometimes--a radical new reading of the words. In this instance, his latest insight to the song has made me clearly see that the last verse--the \"bare-breasted\" stanza--needs to be eliminated from the theatrical version of the song: That Beatrice remains asleep throughout this new, disquieting version of the song is essential. It's now obvious to me that the new reading of the song makes it the perfect stage moment--someone who's there-but-not-there all at once; which is Beatrice's signature characteristic.\nHopefully, the missing happy-ending stanza can be restored for the pop-song CD, where Bazz could lighten the implications of the song by emphasizing its \"time\" aspect once again. This is one of the reasons I wanted a collection of pop-songs to comprise the third panel of the triptych--so neat, contrasting versions of the same material would coexist. And with Bazz's new reading of \"I Love You Now\" for the theater piece, we're on our way to achieving an artful dissonance between the three projects. I couldn't be more pleased.\nThe other latest changes to the theater songs include a new version of \"I Don't Live There Anymore,\" which pushes the song closer to a danse macabre; a version of \"Autumn Beach\" prepared for backing vocal sessions; an enhanced version of \"No Rules In Love,\" featuring a fuller drum sound; a more vocally complex \"Post-Modern Pop Song;\" a simplified, shortened version of \"Intimate;\" a remix of \"Hold On\" that harkens back to the original demo; and, finally, two remixes of my personal favorite, \"On Your Way\"--a new theater version and a new mix of Nashville-inflected version intended for the pop-song CD.\nThe other noteworthy news is that I'm considering a more distinct differentiation of the triptych's constituent parts. The perhaps too-subtle differences between the titles of the novel, theater piece and CD are beginning to niggle at me. Currently, I'm wondering if a better idea might be to call the theater piece Racing the Sunset, dub the CD Post-Modern Pop Songs and simply title the novel Formal Absence. As an enitity--a virtual box set--the triptych would be called The Formal Absences of Precious Things. I'm still of many minds about this, but after my return from the research trip to the Midwest, I hope to have more clarity about all of this.\nAnd now, with most of this stage's heavy lifting behind us, I can move on to the past in the form of my backward-spiralling novel. While there's some coding left to do, it will exist in a more balanced relationship with my work on the book. I hope to lock-down most of the new site before I leave town to research additional locales for the novel. (In another instance of life mirroring art, I'll be visiting cities that figure into the story's midsection even though I will doubtless be devoting my hotel-room evenings to simultaneously honing the book's conclusion. Talk about time-tripping . . .)\nAnd that's all the news from The Front--at least the stuff I can share at this point. Even with balance restored between book and theater piece, I'm curious who will win the race to existence--Stage Beatrice or Page Beatrice? A more reasonable man would look at these Pandora-esque projects and strive to nail them shut. But not me. Because with regard to writing, I am thoroughly unreasonable, and I'm working as hard as I can to set Tony's demons free. One of my many unpopular opinions holds that the worst things happen in dark, locked places which remain out of sight (think about the Bush Administration at every turn). So beyond art, see this three-medium project as a kind of Sunshine Act for the soul--and, fingers crossed, the exact opposite of being boring."}

{"text": "Why was it so cold last week? Ian Meiklejohn explains.\nMuch of South Africa experienced record or near-record low temperatures between 20 and 25 July 2021. Why was this the case?\nTo understand it fully, we need to examine the normal weather systems in southern Africa. The most direct sun’s rays strike the earth near the equator. The actual position moves north or south, depending on the season. The air near the equator is warmer than that at higher latitudes; it rises and moves towards the poles. When this air cools, it begins to sink at about 30° latitude.\nThat is where we are located (we are actually at 33½°S. This circulation is called a Hadley Cell. The sinking air prevents convective uplift, and hence rain forming. The result is that we are in a naturally dry environment. Look at the same latitude in the north of Africa, and you will be in the Sahara Desert.\nGraphic: Ian Meiklejohn\nIn summer, the whole system moves to the south, following the sun. Also, the land then heats up more than the surrounding ocean, producing a low pressure, which breaks the stranglehold of the High, drawing tropical moisture to the summer rainfall areas.\nIn winter, the high-pressure moves north, and with less heating over the land, it dominates our weather, causing fine and clear conditions. Cold fronts, which develop at the Antarctic Convergence move north-westward, can bring rain in winter. Mostly, they are blocked by the High, and they only really affect the southern parts of the country.\nFrom 20 to 25 July 2021, a series of cold fronts that were very close to each other approached the country. At the same time, a powerful high-pressure system located unusually far to the south moved behind the fronts forcing them northward and drew with it freezing Antarctic air, which blew into the interior of southern Africa.\nGraphic: Ian Meiklejohn\nWere the events of 20 to 25 July a manifestation of Climate Change?\nThe answer to this question is complex. There is evidence that climatic warming may be increasing the strength of the Hadley Cell and have caused it to strengthen further south than usual. Evidence that the cold spell is negative feedback from a warming climate is inconclusive. The same strengthening of the Hadley Cell is also argued to be responsible for large parts of the country that receive a significant portion of their rain in winter (Makhanda included) getting drier. We can say that natural and anthropogenic impacts on the global climate and their impact are complex and may have surprising feedbacks.\n- Professor Ian Meiklejohn is the Head of Department of Rhodes University’s Geography Department. He lectures in geomorphology, climatology and environment change."}

{"text": "August 9, 2013, what an incredible day! Sunny and calm, the first day of the 67th Golden North Salmon Derby and my mother’s 85th birthday.\nJuneau must be one of the most beautiful places on earth when the weather is like this. This summer has been awesome; what a difference a year makes. Last summer I found my mind bathing in the deepest darkest depths of despairing self-pity, complaining about the relentless rain.\nHave I mentioned I love my Ford F250?\nI love my wonderful mother and a sunny Southeast Alaska day more, but I do like that Ford.\nStanding on the front deck of our cabin on Shelter Island I am in awe, crystal clear blue skies, emerald green old growth forests manicure perfect, nature carved, snow capped Chilkat Mountains along with blue-green, fish-rich waters of Stephens Passage and Lynn Canal. I breathe deep, my lungs fill with pollution free, clean Alaska air. WOW, LIFE IS GOOD!\nHow many more years will Southeast Alaska be like this?\nI used to think the area was huge. When I was a teenager (1970s) out fishing with my brother Jack, when we were feeling really brave, we would poke the skiff around Point Retreat and stare down Lynn Canal and dream; some days we would travel all the way to Funter Bay (12 miles away). With time and many adventures, Southeast Alaska has gotten smaller. A few weeks ago, my brother Jim and I took my 16-foot skiff with 20-hp Honda to Pelican and back. In total, we traveled over 375 miles in five days. Yes, the skiff leaks a little more, but what a trip.\nHave you ever driven a newer full-size 4x4 truck?\nMy friend Harv and I recently replaced our older 1991 one-ton Chevy with a newer 2005 Ford. The Ford F 250 4x4 has 181,000 miles on it and gets around 13 mpg and costs $150.85 to fill the gas tank (range 455 miles). I can’t believe how enjoyable the Ford is to drive; automatic transmission, incredible acceleration, great visibility, it handles and drives very nice but the most impressive thing about the truck is its towing ability. It tows my 26-ft boat like there is nothing behind it.\nDid I mention it cost $150.85 to fill the gas tank?\nMy wife and I recently (August 2012) purchased a Prius, it gets 50 mpg and cost $49.57 to fill the tank (range 575 miles).\nEarlier in the summer I looked down the beach as a huge plume of black smoke shot up into the sky, my self-proclaimed greenie neighbor was burning his trash (plastic bottles and used oil included) on the beach.\nEileen and I recycle as much as we can. Yes, it may be a little more work and a bit of a hassle, but as long as Juneau keeps accepting recyclables we continue to boat our reusables into town. I asked my earth-friendly neighbor why he doesn’t recycle. In his opinion, there is no difference between burning the trash on the beach and bringing it to the landfill in Juneau!\nHave you seen the pictures of the air pollution in Beijing, China?\nWhen Eileen and I moved to the island in 1999, the rainwater seemed much softer than it does today, it took a lot of bath water to get that soap off the ol’ body back in those days. We cut way back on the amount of soap we used in the washer, dish washer and bathing water compared to what we used when we lived in Juneau with city water. As the years have passed here on the island, we need to use more and more soap to get things to suds up. Think what you want; but I am using more soap.\nRegrettably, in the past, I have done more than my share of polluting. As I age, I am starting to pay more attention to cause and effect. I like clean air and water and continually ask myself: Is there a better, smarter, earth friendly, economical way to live?\nSince March 2013, we have burned less than one gallon of diesel fuel in our generator. Ninety-nine percent of our electrical energy needs have come from our solar system. The initial reason I installed the solar system was to save money and my back.\nGoogle Kodiak Electric Association and click on the link. Monitor the success of the wind turbines at the bottom of the page and see how they generate their electricity. Hydro, wind and diesel. Pretty cool, forward thinking. They have saved over 4.3 million gallons of diesel since July 2009 with just the wind generators. When I called and talked with them, one of the things I asked was what they were going to do with all the possible extra power generation? They said they were planning for the future and the possibility of electric cars becoming mainstream in places, like Kodiak, with limited roads.\nWith hydro energy and limited roads, I think Juneau is prime for an affordable electric car. I’m hoping within the next 25 years 40 percent of the cars in Juneau will be electric. Why pay $4.31 a gallon when you can pay $1.00. After federal tax savings, the five seat electric Nissan Leaf can be purchased new for around $22,000 (the price recently dropped $6,000.00). This car is not for everyone, but with a MPGe rating of 120, it definitely got my attention.\nI understand and accept renewables cannot and will not totally replace petroleum products. I fully support the oil industry in America as a stepping stone to a better economic and smarter energy source where the majority of our energy is produced from hydro, wind, geo and solar. I do not support the oil, coal and nuclear industries’ efforts to slow down or stop renewables.\nIf you ever wonder if we are having a cumulative negative affect on earth by using petroleum, coal and nuclear energies, do this simple test. Take gasoline, diesel, coal or nuclear waste, breath it in, rub it all over your body and eat it. How do you feel? Now take water (hydro), air (wind) and sunshine (solar) and do the same thing. Any difference?\nAm I a big time greenie? I prefer to believe I’m a realist. Unabated continued use of fossil fuels must be taking a toll on our ecosystem here on earth, even if it is very slow. I believe we can do better and at the same time build a stronger economy in the United States. Government subsidies are no longer needed to economically produce solar power.\nWhy did we buy the Prius? It gets 50 mpg and at $23,000 it was affordable. We’re not going to save the world but I do save a lot of money at the gas station.\nChanges are coming, I hope the water and air is as clean in Southeast Alaska in 200 years as it is today.\nI have two partners in the Ford pickup; it sits most of the time. When I need to haul or tow something it is the best, I love that truck! I just don’t like paying for the fuel bill."}

{"text": "Jewish dance group unique to region\nThe ladies of Chedvat Adonai come from diverse backgrounds, but they all have a couple of things in common: they love God, and they love to dance.\nThe Messianic Jewish dance group performs traditional Jewish dance steps to a variety of music, and was founded by Yarker resident Marge Vanderwerf over 20 years ago.\n“It was 1984 when I saw it for the first time, and I was absolutely amazed,” says Vanderwerf. “I always liked dancing. In my young years I did ballroom dancing, that was a normal thing in Holland. You were a certain age, you went for ballroom lessons. That’s how I met my husband. When we became believers we walked away from that style… and then lo and behold I bump into this in Toronto. Now I can dance for God. So that was really an eye-opener for me.”\nVanderwerf grew up in Amsterdam and says dancing has always been something she has loved.\n“As a child, I always wanted to be involved in ballet. I always had calendars of ballet dancers. But you know growing up in Amsterdam after the war, my father had died, my mother couldn’t afford dance lessons. In that time that was only for rich people. It has changed, and it’s different here, too. But at that time it was only for rich people, and I was so attracted to it, this moving to music, that when this opportunity opened itself, yay, I had found it.”\nShe says that the diversity of the dancers isn’t a hindrance to the group.\n“I’m the only Jew in the group, but the thing is, [the music is] all from Scripture. The songs that are being sung are all things that we all agree with because it’s right from the Bible. Therefore we can do this. The tempo, the message, and the energy level of the music all play a role in musical selection. Vanderwerf says 90 per cent of the music they dance to is traditional Jewish music with orchestral instruments, but they throw in some other types as well, as long as they work with the steps. Vanderwerf has developed a repertoire of as many as 40 dances, some that she has choreographed herself.\n“Sometimes people say, ‘Why don’t you dance here or there?’ and I say the music doesn’t fit. It has to be hopefully some Jewish flavour… but we have one worldly song called “Come On Get Happy” which is very up-tempo… and we had a dance one time that we had a little bit of Irish flavour to it.”\nThe group practices once per week at the Kingston Gospel Temple, and as far as Vanderwerf knows they are unique to the region. There aren’t any other groups in the area dancing this type of dance.\n“I wish [there were other groups in region]. But, you’d probably have to go to Toronto or Ottawa, they probably have groups there.”\nDancer Lee Stewart, fairly new to the group, says she wasn’t a dancer when she joined Chedvat Adonai.\n“The whole left, right thing… and learning the names of the steps themselves,” she says, describing some challenges of getting in the groove with the group. But she is enjoying it. She describes the different types of dances that they perform.\n“Some of them are very slow and graceful and extremely worshipful, and there are others where you’re working up a sweat and your heart is pumping.”\nThe group has performed at churches, festivals, special events, and they are a regular at the Kingston Gospel Temple’s Passion Play every Easter. They performed several years in a row at the Napanee Multicultural Festival. But besides performing for others, the group also cherishes the bond of dancing together.\nDancer Sherrill Hart says that she loves both the social aspect and the expression of the dance.\n“We’re a very close-knit group and over the years we have supported each other. We get together socially for big events a few times a year,” she says. “It’s a bond, it’s like a sisterhood.”\nFor the many women the dancing group has become a way for not only expressing themselves, but also expressing their religious beliefs.\n“I love to dance. It’s really a way of expression, an outlet. The Bible says worshipping with your whole being. Dancing, it’s a celebration.”\nChedvat Adonai will dance at the Business Men’s Fellowship banquet on Feb. 8 at the Selby Community Hall. For more information about the dance group, contact Marge Vanderwerf at 613-377-6710, or for information about the Business Men’s Fellowship banquet call Rev. John Hilliard, 613-352-5691, or Garfield at 613-354-9235."}

{"text": "Abstract\nStudy Design. Ex vivo biomechanical study. Objectives. To compare the biomechanical properties of isolated, fractured, osteoporotic vertebral bodies after treatment by kyphoplasty with one of two cements: α-tricalcium phosphate cement (Biopex-R; Mitsubishi Materials Corp., Tokyo, Japan) or polymethylmethacrylate (Simplex P; Stryker-Howmedica-Osteonics, Mahwah, NJ). Summary of Background Data. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty typically use polymethylmethacrylate cements for the treatment of osteoporotic compression fractures. Scant information exists regarding the use of alternative cements in kyphoplasty. Methods. Simulated compression fractures were created in 24 vertebral bodies (T6-T9, L2-L5) harvested from three female cadavers. Vertebral bodies were assigned to one of two groups: kyphoplasty with Biopex-R or kyphoplasty with Simplex P. The kyphoplasty treatment consisted of inserting bone tamps bipedicularly into each vertebral body, inflating the tamp, and filling the created void with Biopex-R or Simplex P. Pretreatment and posttreatment heights were measured, and the repaired vertebral bodies were recompressed to determine posttreatment strength and stiffness values. Differences were checked for significance (P < 0.05) using a repeated-measures analysis of variance followed by Tukey's test. Results. Kyphoplasty with Biopex-R restored strength in the lumbar and thoracic vertebral bodies. Kyphoplasty with Simplex P displayed significantly greater posttreatment strength than initial strength in the thoracic region. Vertebral bodies augmented with either cement were significantly less stiff than their initial conditions, except for the thoracic vertebrae treated with Simplex P, in which stiffness was restored. There was no significant difference in percentage of height restored between the cement treatments. Conclusions. Kyphoplasty with either cement restored initial strength. In general, stiffness was not restored.\nKeywords\n- Kyphoplasty\n- Polymethylmethacrylate\n- α-tricalcium phosphate cement\nASJC Scopus subject areas\n- Orthopedics and Sports Medicine\n- Clinical Neurology"}

{"text": "Osteo Arthritis and Psoriatic Arthritis\nedited 3. Dec 2014, 04:48 in Living with Arthritis archive\nHi all, I have osteoarthritis in a few places now and my consultant feels that I also have psoriatic arthritis! I didn't reolise that you could have two different types!!! I have looked up on the Internet and recognise many of the symptoms of psoriatic arthritis but wondered if anyone could explain to me which is the worst one of the two to have! Also, should I be taking meds for this as a preventative or wait and see how things progress.\n0\n- Sadly, you can have many different types of arthritis! I currently have two in my collection which is enough for me\nAre you under the care of a rheumatologist? If so I would take their lead on meds. Generally, osteo is managed through pain relief and anti-inflammatories and then exercise. The other types of arthritis tend to be managed through drugs called disease modifying drugs, the aim being to start them early and hopefully reduce the disease to levels you can manage to live with. These are often used along side anti-inflammatories, pain relief and sometimes steroids when necessary.\nAs for which is worst, that's probably a personal thing and difficult for others to answer. It depends what you have in which joint and the severity. I think osteo tends to be a slow burner and inflammatory arthritis' tend to have periods of acute discomfort if that makes sense.\nHopefully, DreamDaisy will be along soon. She is our resident expert in these two in combination as she has them both and is super helpful and sadly knows her stuff all too well.Hey little fighter, things will get brighter0\n- Lignum Vitae, thank you for your reply. I am under a Rheumy and have been for a while, it was my Rheumy that said that I had Psoriatic Arthritis on top of my osteoarthritis and wanted to put me onto Methotrexate. I looked this drug up and really didn't think that I was ready to take this step, but am starting to worry that I could be doing myself some harm by not looking into/taking some kind of preventative med, it's such a hard decision to take. If I could manage on Co-Codamol, would this be ok? Sorry to keep asking questions, but I just don't know what to do. :roll:0\n- Hi Agape,\nPlease don't apologise, we're here to support each other - I often use the forum to ask questions and sound out people's opinions.\nFirst of all, don't fear all the things you read from google! Meth has a huge list of POTENTIAL side effects. They are potential and whilst on meth you have regular blood tests that are monitored, you have a flu jab and before you start a chest xray all of these are to check that the medication is suitable for you. The second anything changes in those tests your meds are reviewed. I've been on meth since 2007 and it has been a wonder drug for me, the worst side effects being mouth ulcers and hair loss both of which were combated by increasing my folic acid (you are prescribed that along side meth). You do lower your immunity but generally, that just requires a bit of care on your behalf to avoid potential risks. Good food hygiene, avoiding people with bugs and good hand washing tends to be all I do on that front.\nCo-codamol will relieve pain but it won't alter the course of psoriatic arthritis. That is why disease modifying drugs, like meth, are prescribed. Disease modifier tend not to halt inflammatory arthritis but they do tend to slow or alter it's progression.\nWhat is it about meth that scares you? Is it the meth or the fact you have the arthritis that you are struggling with? It is a lot to take on board, particularly when you thought you had one arthritis and then find out another one has tagged along too.\nLVHey little fighter, things will get brighter0\n- Agape, your post rang a distant bell so I had a look at previous ones and I think I can say things no more clearly now than I did then so I'll just copy my reply in here\nBasically, there are two forms of arthritis, OA and the auto-immune versions. RA is an auto-immune form of arthritis but by no means the only one. Another auto-immune form is Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) and, if you already have both an auto-immune disease plus psoriasis, I think it's important that you get on one of the DMARDS (Disease Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Medications). Hydroxychloroquine is just one. There are several others, and many on here have to experiment a bit before finding one that suits them. One man's meat....etc etc. I had a very scary reaction to leflunomide but it didn't stop me trying methotrexate (which has been very successful for me) and I know others have no problems with leflunomide.\nOA will always get worse. We can hold back its worst excesses to some extent by a good diet (Well done on that front ) exercise, distraction and pain relief but it will progress over time.\nThe damage from auto-immune types of arthritis can be held back by DMARDS but only rheumatologists can prescribe them. It's not that your GP is 'useless'; it's just that he doesn't have the specialist training needed to deal with auto-immune diseases. Asking him to do so is a bit like asking him to perform knee replacement surgery. He doesn't have the training.\nI do understand your reluctance to take 'strong meds'. I think most of us start out like that. But auto-immune types of arthritis are strong diseases and they require powerful meds to hold them back. Although methotrexate helps me enormously these days, it wasn't available when I was first diagnosed and, as a result, I have all the characteristic twisted joints in hands and feet. You are probably still in a position to avoid that. If your rheumatology appointment isn't until January, I think you should ask for it to be brought forward and have a good chat with your rheumatologist about your joints and psoriasis so that it can be determined how much is OA, how much might be auto-immune and what can be done about the latter. You might not want strong meds but, if the rheumatologist suggests them, I'd be guided by that.\"The deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.\" Kahlil Gibran0\n- Hello, my problems started in April 1997 - I didn't begin any medications until February 2002 but even then medical opinion was divided as to what was wrong with me. My first DMARD was sulphasalazine and over the years I've given methotrexate, leflunomide and cyclosporine a go, plus the big-guns of infliximab, Enbrel and humira. Currently I take injected meth, injected humira and tablet sulph: although I do not feel any physical benefit I know that this trio has slowed the progression of the PsA.\nMy OA was diagnosed in April 2012 and has come about as a result of the joint damage caused by the PsA. I have around 40 or so affected joints, the majority with PsA and others with both. Of the two I much prefer the OA because it is much more honest in how it presents and affects me, the PsA is a sly one and has far more-reaching effects.\nIt is entirely possible to have an auto-immune arthritis plus OA - welcome to a rather exclusive club.\nDDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0\n- Hi Stickywicket, thank you for you reply. Although I have a high RF I am told that I don't have RA, I am only going on their word as I trust you can have a high RF result and not have RA! As you will note from my previous posts I do have Sjogren's Syndrome; Psoriasis; Osteo Arthritis and at my last apt was told I have PsA. I take 600mg of Lyrica a day and Co-Codamol when I am in pain. I have tried Hydroxycloriquin but had a very bad reaction to it and had to stop.\nI am under a Rheumatologist and she is the one prescribing my meds.\nI will take yr advice and will try to make an apt with her to review things in a clearer way, trouble is she is soon moving on so not sure that I will be able to get an apt and I wonder if I shud wait and go over this with whoever takes over her position as they may have other ideas!\nCan I ask, how can they test for how much is OA and how much auto- immune? If you can let me know I will ask at my next apt. I only really considered that my SJS was the auto-immune. Thank you for yr help.\nLignumVitae - Just an add on to yr reply. Yes, my Rheumy did mention that I wud be monitored whilst on Methotrexate, so this wud be a safeguard, my worry wud also be if this med wud be bad for me long term. I do suffer from hair loss already, the thought of more wud be horrible, but I guess it's swings and roundabouts. I think that I will have to take more Co-Codamols when in pain, but from these replies, I see clearly that the pain killers may sort the pain but won't deal with the progression of either OA or PsA, which scares me and as silly as it sounds, I honestly hadn't thought of this! :roll:\nThank you for yr help.0\n- Hello Dreamdaisey, sorry I missed you off of my reply.\nI am so sorry to hear how PsA and OA has affected you. One question that comes to my mind is... Is there a sure test for PsA? And if so, would I be able to ask for this test to guarantee that I have this? I truly think I must be kidding myself with this PsA thing, but I can't seem to believe what's happening to me. What would be 'some' of the first signs of PsA?\nTake care and I hope you have a good week.\nA0\n- There is no sure test for any of us. I was classed for a few years as having some form of auto-immune inflammatory arthritis - I was sero-negative but my inflammation markers were always high, anywhere between 50 to 170. The only combination of meds which has really reduced those is my current combination, now they are always below five or sometimes too small to measure, this is how I know they are working.\nWhen my troubles began in 1997 I had what I now know to be extensive psoriasis on my scalp but it was never diagnosed as such. After years of eczema I was used to itchy and scaly skin so it was no big deal, plus I couldn't see it! The medical penny dropped in October 2006 when my skin helpfully obliged with a blast of pustular psoriasis on my palms and soles. I also now have some stubborn patches on my ankles and on some of my scars. The label changed, the meds didn't. The sulphasalazine helps to keep my skin clear but it's never touched anything to do with the joints. I have a friend with PsA who's condition is under complete control with just four tablets per day - he still grumbles though!\nI am sure I would be in a far better situation now if I had been taken seriously by my then GP and seen a rheumatologist long before I eventually did (courtesy of the physios at the local footy club, believe it or not, they were the ones who referred me in November 2000). Even then the first one told me I was orthopaedics problem so I lost another year being bounced between the two departments. After a lifetime spent taking medical drugs I never hesitated about starting any of the ones I have tried but if one is new to all of this then it must be scary. I read the side-effects leaflet once, have a giggle then put them away only to be consulted if something doesn't feel right within me. I always assume I won't have any troubles and I usually don't: the mind is a powerful thing and we can 'talk' ourselves into feeling things which aren't actually happening. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0\n- Right, let's try to get this a bit clearer. OA is one type of arthritis. It can arise for many reasons and none but, like DD, I have it because my auto-immune arthritis wasn't able to be treated with the correct medication (DMARDS) early enough. My auto-immune arthritis is RA. I know that yours and DD's is PsA but both types are dealt with, essentially, the same by rheumatologists ie with DMARDS. Sulphasalazine, methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine are three such. I get by very well indeed on a combination of methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine.\nI don't think there will be any exact answers as to how much of yours is PsA and how much OA. In fact, it seems to me to be a bit of a red herring. What you need is to slow down the progress of the PsA by use of DMARDS. The OA can't be slowed. It will go at its own pace and your GP will deal with it, prescribing pain relief and possibly anti-inflammatories.\nI can understand your fear of DMARDS. Many people share it especially when new to them. Oddly, people fear the meds more than the disease. Hair loss is not guaranteed. Most people don't get it. In fact, most people don't get any of the side-effects. But, even if some hair loss occurred, isn't it better than uncontrolled PsA?\nGetting more and more dependent on cocodamol, or other pain relief, is no solution. If I were in your shoes I'd want to get on another DMARD asap. When are you next due to see the rheumatologist? It doesn't matter if the consultant changes. Another will take over and have your notes. It probably seems quite complex to you but they deal with these changes all the time.\nLong term? Sometimes the meds stop working, sometimes they bring their own problems. Sometimes we have to move on to others. But , long term, without DMARDS, your PsA will get worse. That's a fact. It really does need to be dealt with.\"The deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.\" Kahlil Gibran0\n- DD, what a road you have trod, I can't believe that it took so long for you to have a clear DX. You are right when you say that the mind is powerful, I do sometimes worry that I might get some of the bad side affects but I need to look on the positive side and remember that my health issues will improve with DMARDs. Thank you for sharing your experiences with me.\nStickywicket, thanks for explaining things, I understand better now. I am hoping that I will get an apt with my Rheumy before she leaves but I am not sure that this will happen. I am at present trying to call and push for a date. This has all arisen because my Rheumy looked at my symptoms and said she 'thought' that I might have PsA, this is why I had so many questions, she was convinced enough to suggest Methotrexate.\nHaving said all of the above, can I ask one more question… Up and until my 5o's I had Psoriasis on my elbows and knees, my elbows were so itchy that I would scratch them until they bled, I know I shouldn't have scratched them but this was the only way to relieve it. Psoriasis would creep further up my elbow/arm. Then all of a sudden it disappeared, I do have what I think might be Psoriasis on my toes, horrible. Does Psoriasis disappear and reappear somewhere else? Weird!0\n- Yes, it can. Psoriasis is caused by the skin renewing itself within a matter of three or four days as opposed to the usual three-to-four-weeks-or-so of those who don't have it. My favourite flaky sites are the insides of my ankles and the outsides of my knees but it also occurs on my various scars and I have another form on my soles and palms. I recognises that I am fortunate in that it's pretty mild.\nThere can be a delay in diagnosing any form of auto-immune arthritis (there are many of them, it's complicated) but it seems to me that now more people are being referred more quickly by their GPs to 'those in the know'. As I said I always presume I'll be fine with the meds and usually I am. When I wasn't I hadn't a clue that things were amiss - this is why one must be conscientious about getting bloods done, it was my bloods that showed that things weren't too good. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0\n- What's even weirder is that inflammatory arthritis can disappear too, only to reappear later. In the early days I had some 'free' spells. That all changed after my first son was born.\nI hope you can get an appointment with the rheumatologist you've seen before but, if not, I often find a fresh pair of eyes gives a new insight to things. Good luck\"The deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.\" Kahlil Gibran0\n- Hi I am new here and just want to ask a few questions.\nI have had problems with my back for years (been knocked off bike twice 2nd time resulting in a fractured pelvis and had a nasty fall, all times striking the base of my spine) and in the last few years occasional problems with my groin and sciatic nerve. I recently visited the doctor and due to not paying attention when I was younger (like you do). I found that in 95 they found osteoarhritis in my spine along with degenerative disc disease.\nWhich explained a lot\nI had been oblivious for nearly 20 years, just thought I was getting old.\nI have always avoided doing anything that aggravates it, am I doing the right thing? So long as I am mobile I'm ok, but if I stand for long periods on one spot, eventually I start to seize up. Is this common? This last few months I have been less mobile at work and I have had problems with my ankles, knees, and now groin , is this common I am not at a point I need painkillers even though I have been in excruciating pain in the past. I want to manage it and take more care of myself as I don't want to be in a lot of pain when I am older. Any tips on managing it will be great. The strange thing is, at work they cant understand how I can lift something heavy, but can't do a lighter job, because last time I did it, I was in pain for three months.0\n- Hi there northender\nI think you've managed very well indeed if you've had so many problems for so long. Probably your general fitness levels have helped. Keeping things moving without putting too much strain on dodgy joints is ideal. (I'm not sure about the heavy lifting, though.) You might find some useful info here:\nWe're not docs and can't tell you the reasons behind your latest pains. It's true that arthritis can move into other joints once it has a toe-hold but, equally, if you are walking a bit awkwardly due to pain in one site, it can create what's called 'referred pain' in another. Groin pain is often associated with hip problems though.\nI've had RA for many years and OA for a few less and I always find that, no matter how hard walking is, standing is harder.\nIt might be worth having another word with your GP just to tell him / her what you've told us. X-rays, or a scan, might help to show whether there's anything happening in your ankles, knees, etc. If not, and yours is referred pain due to how you're walking etc, a referral to an orthotist might help you.\nP.S. Would that be Preston North End er?\"The deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.\" Kahlil Gibran0\n- thanks stickywicket\nand yes PNE through and through0\n- a bit more advice please.\nspoke to H R at work and asked if I could be more mobile, as my job is not a mobile as it was, due to moving floors and not being allowed to get what we need to do a job. so walking round a lot less, plus the job I do now I am stood on one spot for long periods of time. There are three jobs I can (and have) done, now I am confined to the one, so I asked to mix all three.\nI was asked a couple of months ago to do a job which I KNOW will cause me problems, but my supervisor can't seem to grasp this, so I went to see the doc, which is when I discovered the reasons why it caused me discomfort. Even after seeing a doctors letter, they still question me, and comments like \"why didn't you take redundancy if you knew you had this problem?\" ( I didn't at the time) Maybe I should get work somewhere else, and today \"If you want to be upright and mobile have you ever considered a job as a cleaner!\" are they allowed to do this?\nI ended up walking out of the office.0\n- Hello, I missed your first post as I've been busy over the past few days. I presume you have OA (unlike the originator of the thread who has two kinds of the disease) and everything that you have described is par for the course. Any form of arthritis is degenerative and progressive but one of the problems with OA is its sheer ubiquity: there are between 8 - 10 million arthritics in the UK, the majority of whom have OA, so you're not alone. The trouble is that the remaining few millions have absolutely no idea what having arthritis entails so we can find ourselves on the receiving end of insensitive and stupid comments. I prefer to move (although I don't do that very well) and standing still is an absolute no-no. I have two kinds of arthritis and around forty affected joints, all useful ones.\nIt might be worth your reading some of the threads on the Benefits and Working Matters board on here, that's where work-related issues are dealt with. Your employer has a duty of care towards you so your first port-of-call maybe contacting the CAB, they know their stuff and will be able to advise you of your rights etc. I was self-employed so never had to deal with this. It may an idea to post a new thread under your name as more people will spot you and, hopefully, reply! I wish you well. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0\n- Hello again, Agape, we're a few days on now: how are things going? DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0\n- Workplaces and work colleagues can be very casually cruel. I'm pretty sure they have to make all reasonable adjustments for you but some are better than others at doing so.\nDD's right that you'd get more responses on here if you started a new thread as the header of this one doesn't give us a clue as to what your own difficulties are. CAB are a good idea. Our own Helplines could probably tell you more too about what your rights are. Or this site might be useful Good luck. It's not easy fighting for one's rights.\n(Preston North End? I used to be keen on Leeds Utd but.......... :roll: )\"The deeper sorrow carves into your being the more joy you can contain.\" Kahlil Gibran0"}

{"text": "Satire: Red Cup Controversy\nDecember 7, 2015\nEvery year, Starbucks releases a special Christmas-themed cup to commemorate the Christmas season. This season, they caused several new hashtags to be created, both anti- and pro-Starbucks, and started a huge social media controversy dubbed the “red-cup controversy.”\nIn midst of the latest Starbucks red-cup controversy, I have realized one thing and one thing only: Starbucks hates Jesus. That’s right, boys and girls, your favorite place to get a hot beverage is full of a bunch of Jesus haters.\nIn past years, Starbucks has always put cute, Christmas designs on their cups. This year is different. They just have a red cup. No pretty designs. No Merry Christmas to be seen. Therefore, the omission of Merry Christmas and any Christmas designs proves that they hate Christmas and Jesus as well.\nThis act of defiance can be seen as a futile effort to conform to our politically correct society. The wise Joshua Feuerstein, a former television and radio evangelist, commented on the issue at hand.\n“I think in the age of political correctness we’ve become so open-minded our brains have literally fallen out of our head.” Feuerstein said one of his videos on Facebook where he has over 1.8 million followers. “Did you realize that Starbucks wanted to take Christ and Christmas off of their brand new cups? That’s why they are just plain red.”\nThis war they are waging on Christmas is unacceptable. Starbucks is trying to do away with Christianity and our beloved savior. How can this company so blatantly disrespect the religion that America was built upon? How can anyone condemn their actions?\nStarbucks must be stopped. I propose that the Christian community all ban together and take matters into our own hands. We must stop Starbucks from ruining Christmas! We will accomplish our goal of destroying Starbucks like we have in any other situation in history: by blatantly disregarding our moral values and everything we stand for as Christians in order to justify why we must and will purge the Earth of non-believers and non-conformers, such as the Starbucks Corporation and its supporters.\nChristians, here me when I say we will never pay tribute to Starbucks’ anti-Christmas movement nor will we ever forgive their red cups. We will never step foot into another Starbucks ever again! It is not #JustACup. We should #boycottstarbucks, not praise them for their “political correctness.” Starbucks should write ‘Merry Christmas’ on every cup instead of names to invigorate the holiday spirit within us all. Christmas should be celebrated by everyone in America because it is politically incorrect to disregard the importance of our religion in the foundations of our country. These red cups do not inspire creativity as the executives will say they do; the cups only promote hate of all things Christian.\nI can conclude that Starbucks, being so anti-Christian by refusing to celebrate the birth of Christ the Lord our savior, must, therefore, be a part of a bigger organization that is trying to destroy all parts of Christian life: ISIS.\nIf you want a picture to show with your comment, go get a gravatar."}

{"text": "77-year-old woman has been hunting turkey, deer for more than 60 years\n- Submitted photos — Carolyn Harper, 77, holds up an 8-point deer she shot in Nov. 2013 on her property in Jefferson County. At top, Harper shot a turley with a 9-and- a-half-inch beard and 1 -inch spurs. Harper has been hunting since she was 10 years old.\nNATCHEZ — Carolyn Harper began hunting with her father when she was just 10 years old using a .22 rifle with a scope to bag squirrels.\nNow at 77, Harper has more than 65 years of experience hunting everything from ducks, quail, deer and turkey, having also enjoyed fishing and camping with her family as her children grew up.\nLast year, one of the two 8 point bucks Harper killed was a rare Piebald.\n“It’s unusual to get a Piebald,” Harper said. “They usually weigh around 100 pounds, but this one was 154 pounds. Bucks usually have small four or six-point racks. The man who cleaned the deer said it was the largest Piebald he had ever seen.”\nHarper was introduced to turkey hunting by her son, Nolan, in 1998, and she has killed at least one turkey every year since.\n“The first one I killed had three beards.” Harper said. “I love calling them. That’s really the exciting part when you have a big bird gobbling and drumming, and you can watch him strutting.”\nThis year, Harper killed a turkey with a 9-and-a-half- inch beard and 1 inch spurs on property in Jefferson County where she and her husband have a camp.\nHarper and her husband, Bobby have been married for 62 years and they hunt together often because Harper said her friends aren’t too big on hunting.\n“At my age, my friends would not be interested at all in hunting,” Harper said. “You don’t find too many my age who even want to go to the woods.”\nBobby said he believes more women are starting to hunt, but maybe not as enthusiastically as Harper.\n“I remember when we were members of a club, and she was the only woman who had actually killed a deer,” Bobby said.\nHarper said her love for the turkey hunting keeps her going. “It takes an awful lot of patience and you definitely don’t see a big gobbler often, it just doesn’t happen,” Harper said. “But I do a lot of things to pass the time while waiting on the turkeys. I always carry me a good book.”\nHarper said she also likes to take photographs of nature while she’s out hunting. As much as she enjoys hunting, she enjoys recreating the woods scenes as she does watercolor painting when she gets home. Harper takes those photos — or images in her mind — and duplicates them into watercolor painting.\nHarper said she doesn’t see herself retiring from outdoor adventures for a while.\n“As long as I am physically able to still go out and enjoy it, I’ll be going,” she said. “Of course, as long as I get as excited as I did when I saw this last turkey coming toward me, I’ll be in the woods looking.”"}

{"text": "We have observed programmers at work using existing interactive systems in an IBM research environment. Our observation of the use of language processors indicates that users of TSS/360 seldom need the interactive error-correction features of the language processor. Also, when a user might use such features, he seldom does. By implication, these observations also point to the importance of implementing SIPE-type data collection systems. We have presented our observations of the relationship between system response time (SRT) and user response time (URT). The results indicate that a long SRT is related to a long URT. This suggests that ways be sought to reduce the undesirable effects of a long sRT and to reduce the SRT-URT interaction without adding to the cost or complexity of."}

{"text": "Pictured at right is Autumn Leaves, a purple-covered book of verse written by Samuel C. Frey and self-published here in York, Pennsylvania, in 1921. (It was printed by an outfit called Dispatch Print.)1\nFrey's 212-page book has sections titled Concerning Poetry, Patriotic, Religious, At Weber's Dinner, Tributes, Limericks and Miscellaneous. It is dedicated to \"all who have music in their souls.\"\nThere is a list of roughly 400 \"subscribers\" whose \"pre-publication support\" apparently made the printing of this volume possible.\nThe intriguing list, full of names that are certainly of local historic interest, includes N. Appell, three Dempwolfs, A.B. Farquhar, George Hay Kain, S. Forry Laucks, Geo. W. Pfaltzgraff and six Smalls.\nHere are some samples of Frey's verse...\nI thought I'd write a little poem\n'Bout autumn leaves, you see;\nBecause it seem that autumn leaves\nWere very much like me.\nAll summer long they have no cares;\nTo them time endless seems;\nBut when Jack Frost comes 'nipping round,\nThey wake up from their dreams.\nWHO IS A PATRIOT?\nWho is a Patriot? It's not the man\nWho skins the Government whene'er he can;\nWho uses a stamp for the second time;—\nHe's surely subject for warmer clime.\nNot he who so craftily falsifies\nIn making out tax return, and thus tries\nTo beat the collector, and, when found out,\nHe claims the benefit of the doubt.\nPERSONALS2\nBill Miller and his son-in-law\nAre quite a funny pair;\nBill's always busy asking folks\nMore of his shoes to wear;\nWhile Joe says we all walk too much.\nHow can we ever please\nTwo men of such contrary views\nAnd diverse minds as these.\nCarl Witmer and young Beitzel, too,\nAre financiers of note;\nThey're taking money all day long,\nJust as a thing of rote.\nIn other ways these two agree;\nThey both are found of sports.\nFor Carl doth play piano forte,\nAnd Will on tennis courts.\nWayne G. McFall, he plays baseball,\nJust as a recreation;\nAnd while he plays, he umpire baits,\nJust as a new sensation.\nThey make George Leber tired of life,\nWayne and his friend, Sam Ruby,\nBut when Sam tries to catch some flies,\nHe looks just like a booby.\nLAKE WILLIAMS\nDown in old Hopewell township, where\nThe watersheds divide;\nWhere little rivulets abound\nAnd through the meadows glide;\ntwo springs, but a few hundred feet\nApart, come bubbling forth;\nOne Southward to the Deer Creek flows,\nThe other, to the North.\nFrom East and West come sister streams\nAnd merge in one embrace;\nNow smoothly flow through pastures green,\nNow rush at rapid pace.\nTo West they turn; from Winterstown\nA tributary flows;\nFrom Hametown and red Lion, too.\nThe stream in volume grows.\nLIMERICKS\nLast March, as Winter receded,\nThe warnings of friends he unheeded;\nThe temperature fell,\nHe went to — well,\nWhere underwear never is needed.\nThere was a young man from near Etters',\nSaid his dogs had invisible fetters\nFor they never would go.\nHis friend said \"That's so;\nBecause them dogs is both setters.\"\nTwo stages ran daily their courses;\nWere driven by two different forces;\nThe Dillsburg tramps\nUsed acetylene lamps;\nEast Prospect, a set o' lean horses.\nThere was a young lady from Dover,\nWho walked in a field of new clover.\nHer stockings were thin,\nThe bee's stinger went in;\nThe girls said \"Darn\" and moreover.\nAt a famous hotel called \"The Brogue,\"\nElection day's fights were the vogue.\nOr loser or winner,\nA saint or a sinner,\nThere was fighting by good man and rogue.\nFootnotes\n1. For another post about a York County poet, check out \"Piggy Pork: His Odyssey\" by Thomas Yost Cooper.\n2. Other names mentioned in Personals include Harry McNeal, George Rudy, Joe Radcliffe, Bob Fluhrer, Charles Craumer, Harry Wiest, Charles Kline, Jake Stager, C. Leroy Blair, Joe Wallazz, Lloyd Myers, G. Edward George, Harvey Gross and Luther Melhorn."}
