(WASHINGTON) — The Supreme Court issuing an unsigned order refusing to block a Texas abortion ban while it faces a legal challenge stunned many and marked a significant moment in the United States’ history of reproductive rights.
The playbook for years by anti-abortion legislators was to slowly chip away at the right to an abortion via mechanisms like “targeted restrictions on abortion providers” or “TRAP” laws, while outright pre-viability bans were seen as unrealistic.
“This was really bad and really unexpected,” Robin Marty, operations director at the West Alabama Women’s Center and author of “New Handbook for a Post-Roe America,” told ABC News. “We thought it would be slower and not nearly as, ‘all right, we’re done, rights are gone.'”
The Texas law bans physicians from providing abortions “if the physician detects a fetal heartbeat,” including embryonic cardiac activity, which can be as early as six weeks into a pregnancy. Before Wednesday, no law was in effect that banned abortions earlier than 20 weeks of pregnancy. Many states had tried to enact early gestational bans, but they had all been blocked by courts.
That’s because of clear precedent. In 1973, the Supreme Court declared abortion a protected right in Roe v. Wade. Twenty years later, in 1992’s Planned Parenthood v. Casey, the Supreme Court reaffirmed “the constitutionally protected liberty of the woman to decide to have an abortion before the fetus attains viability and to obtain it without undo interference from the State.”
“Viability” means a fetus can survive outside of a uterus, and that typically happens around 24 to 28 weeks. So laws that outright ban abortion before that stage have been systematically knocked down by courts.
“Every time the states have passed them, the federal courts universally blocked them,” Marc Hearron, lead attorney on the Texas case and senior counsel at the Center for Reproductive Rights, told ABC News. “This is the first time that a federal court has allowed a six-week ban to take effect.”
A six-week ban in Georgia, for instance, was struck down last year.
“A ‘heartbeat’ ban isn’t even close to viability. So there’s nothing about that that was even an attempt to be within the confines of the Constitution. That standing alone would make it unconstitutional,” Kimberly Mutcherson, co-dean and law professor at Rutgers Law School, told ABC News about the Texas law.
Before the Georgia law was struck down, it was blocked from going into effect while courts heard the challenge. That is how these cases usually go and was what the Center for Reproductive Rights was asking for from the Supreme Court.
“The thing that the federal court should do when a law is going to pose grave harm is preserve the status quo while if there are difficult issues, you can litigate those difficult issues,” Hearron said.
This was something Chief Justice John Roberts called for in his own dissent, writing: “I would grant preliminary relief to preserve the status quo ante — before the law went into effect — so that the courts may consider whether a state can avoid responsibility for its laws in such a manner.”
The Texas law is different from previous bans in that it prohibits the state from enforcing the ban, instead authorizing private citizens to bring civil suits against anyone who “aids or abets” an abortion.
With that, Mutcherson said, “they created this sort of confusion and this hook that the Supreme Court was able to use in order to say, ‘We’re not going to stay the law, we’re going to allow it to go into effect, and then we’ll see what happens.'”
Marty believes one thing that will happen is “people are going to have to decide for themselves whether this is a just law that needs to be followed or not, and what sort of risks they’re willing to take in order to essentially bring it down.”
What’s also different now is the makeup of the Supreme Court since President Donald Trump’s appointments and the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. To Mutcherson, this was a sign of “raw politics coming out of the Supreme Court,” and many saw this as the result of years of increasingly bold state laws being proposed by lawmakers emboldened by the new conservative majority and a slate of federal appellate judges appointed by Trump.
It is important to note that the Supreme Court’s order stated it “is not based on any conclusion about the constitutionality of Texas’ law.” Rather, the order not to issue an injunction was on technical grounds, and the legal challenge against the law is ongoing.
“The law remains that these bans are unconstitutional. Unfortunately, the Supreme Court let one take effect anyway,” Hearron said.
This order also in no way overturned Roe.
“Where we stand right now is that Texas has a law on the books that is completely unconstitutional under the precedent of Roe and Casey, but that law has not yet been enjoined or officially declared unconstitutional by any court,” Mutcherson said, adding, “The right to abortion continues to exist and continues to be protected by Roe and by Casey.”
And in the meantime, Mutcherson said, “The women who are going to suffer are women of color, poor women, young women, women who are undocumented — those are the folks that these kinds of laws really strike at.”

In Wisconsin, voters have multiple ways to cast their votes. They can go in person on Election Day, or they can vote absentee by mail or in person at early voting sites. In some parts of the state, the City of Milwaukee included, individuals also had the option of putting their absentee ballots in a city sanctioned drop box – but as of Thursday, that’s no longer an option.
Waukesha County Circuit Court Judge Michael Bohren ruled that under Wisconsin law, absentee ballot drop boxes cannot be used in an election. Instead, voters can return their absentee ballots in person or by mail.
Drop boxes came into the spotlight during the 2020 elections. Many voters turned to absentee voting as a safety precaution. At the time, the COVID-19 pandemic had only just begun and potential exposure at in person voting sites was a high possibility.
The drop boxes in the City of Milwaukee were located throughout the city at places such as local library branches or government offices. When the drop boxes were announced, the city’s Election Commission noted that the boxes were under 24/7 surveillance and their contents were regularly picked up and taken to a secure location to await Election Day.
During his ruling, Bohren ordered the Wisconsin Elections Commission to rescind its previously stated advice on drop boxes, Wisconsin Public Radio reported. He argued that the commission had overstepped its authority.
The commission was represented by Assistant Attorney General Steven Kilpatrick. He argued that the commission did not order local clerks to do anything, but instead offered guidance or advice on how to handle the election, according to Wisconsin Public Radio.
Wisconsin Public Radio further reported that Bohren’s ruling sides with the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, which had filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Elections Commission.
Luke Berg, an attorney for the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty, said the lack of laws regarding drop boxes means there are no requirements for how the drop box looks, Wisconsin Public Radio reported.
The Journal Sentinel reported that Bohren intends to finalize this order in 10 days, in which that time, the Wisconsin Elections Commission will be required to withdraw their advice on drop boxes.
An appeal regarding this ruling is anticipated to take place.
The next election to take place is the spring primary on Tuesday, Feb. 15 followed by the spring election on Tuesday, April 5.

When it comes to reasons for eating well, heart health sits near the top of the list. It all starts with food shopping, of course—by filling your cart with heart-healthy foods at your co-op, you can help lower your risk of heart disease, including heart attack and stroke. Here’s what to bring home.
These are polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, including omega-3s. You’ll find them in canola oil, olive oil, soybean oil, walnuts, ground flaxseed, and flaxseed oil. Fatty fish like mackerel, anchovies, sardines, herring, salmon, and trout also have high omega-3 counts.
Smart protein sources
Low-fat proteins like skim or low-fat dairy products, legumes (like beans, peas, peanuts), skinless poultry, and lean meats will limit the amount of cholesterol you consume with your protein.
Foods that are high in soluble fiber can help lower your LDL (“bad” cholesterol). Beans and whole grains like brown rice, oats, and whole-grain breads and pastas are good examples, but try others too, such as barley, amaranth, millet, and quinoa.
High-potassium foods like avocados, bananas, tomato products, raisins, and potatoes can help maintain healthy blood pressure.
Pass up or limit
Limit saturated fats, which are found in butter, fatty cuts of meat, whole-milk dairy products, and many sweets. And completely avoid trans fats, which are typically found in processed foods like packaged desserts, crackers, chips, and many stick margarines.
Some sodium is necessary, but too much can contribute to elevated blood pressure.
Fruit is a great way to help satisfy a sweet tooth while gaining nutritional benefits at the same time. When fruit doesn’t do it, look for low fat, high fiber, “good” fat options to eat in moderation.
Too much alcohol can raise your blood pressure and damage your heart. No need to abstain completely, though; a glass of red wine now and then can help prevent the buildup of plaque that contributes to heart disease.
It’s never too early—or too late—to show some love for your heart. Start with your next shopping trip and head home from the co-op with heart-healthy choices in tow.
If you’re interested in a more in-depth explanation of why heart health is important or how to shop for it, email our dietitian, Kathryn, at firstname.lastname@example.org to schedule an appointment to talk with her. | <urn:uuid:fa8966ed-89ed-466b-a484-2f9b9ebcf869> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://goodfoods.coop/eating-for-a-healthy-heart/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.932728 | 599 | 2.734375 | 3 |
As an English major, I absolutely despise taking any kind of math or science course. Unfortunately, part of attending a liberal arts college is taking a wide variety of classes. Thus, I found myself in Calculus and Astronomy my first semester of college. Calculus was the math I miraculously tested into, and I falsely believed Astronomy would be an easy science class. I quickly discovered that Calculus is just as hard as I remembered from high school, and Astronomy is a nightmare. These classes caused me a lot of anxiety, and I really had to work hard in order to succeed academically! Here are some tips for academic success in college!
Procrastination in college is obviously inevitable. I get it. How are you supposed to focus on your Modernism essay when the new season of Grey’s Anatomy just came out? I feel your pain! However, planning ahead can really help you avoid procrastination and reach academic success in college. Your syllabus is your best friend, so actually use it! It shocks me when I find out friends have trashed or misplaced their syllabus after the first week! That thing is like a giant roadmap for your class. It includes not only your course schedule but also important information about expectations and assignments. Use it!
Start your work early, even if it means only doing a little bit each night. For example, I never write my essays all in one night (okay, well…not usually!) Instead, I try to break it up into a few manageable chunks. One night I will create an outline, the next night I will work on a super rough draft, the following night I will edit, and then ultimately I will reach something I’m satisfied with. Planning and working ahead of time is a major part of academic success.
Become a Good Notetaker
Taking notes is a must. I don’t care if your class is Human Geography or basket weaving, notes are essential for academic success in college. Some teachers use powerpoints while others focus on discussion. You need to determine the notetaking method that works best for you and your class! I like to color coordinate my notes, and if I’m feeling especially fancy I’ll even include relevant doodles. Taking notes is also a good way to stay focused in class. I take my best notes when I’m tired and trying my hardest to stay present! Here are some things to keep in mind when taking notes:
- You don’t need to write down everything the professor says word-for-word!
- If you don’t know where to start, stick with bullet points!
- Highlighters and colored pens make note taking much more enjoyable
- Experiment with different typography and scrips to keep things interesting!
- If the teacher is using a powerpoint or presentation, ask if it’s available online. If that’s the case, you might not need to copy down all the slides.
Talk to the Professor
As soon as you feel yourself falling behind or struggling, you should talk to your professor. It might seem counter productive to discuss your challenges with a professor, but they’re often your first point of support. Go to your professor’s office hours or stay after class and be honest with them about what you’re struggling with. They might be willing to sit down with you to go over your recent exam or essay and point out where you went wrong or how you can improve. Even if your professor is unable to sit down with you, it can be wise to discuss the ways in which you plan to work harder to prevent this from happening again. Working with your professor will likely make them more willing to help you out when it comes to your final grades since they know how important academic success is to you as a student.

The International Convention Centre, Birmingham, is taking a leading role in a project to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and energy costs in the city centre.
A combined heat and power generator (CHP) has been installed at the venue, which produces both heat and electricity, while operating almost twice as efficiently and creating less CO2 than other forms of generator.
Capturing the excess heat created in the production of electricity, the CHP generator converts it into useful energy for heating, which can then be piped to other buildings in the area – including The National Indoor Arena, Town Hall and Rep Theatre.
ICC general manager Geoff Fenlon said: “More than ever, conference organisers and delegates are searching for venues that have systems like this in place. Carbon-neutral housing projects use this sort of generator system, and I am proud that the ICC is taking such a prominent role in this scheme. We will continue to work on other initiatives, such as the Green Roof, that help the ICC and the NEC Group reduce its carbon footprint, and highlight Birmingham and its businesses as being environmentally conscious.”
The project is being designed, built, financed and operated by Utilicom, the UK's leading provider of District Energy Schemes, on behalf of Birmingham City Council. "The ICC is to be congratulated on its commitment to playing such an important role in this project which will deliver environmental and financial benefits for the city of Birmingham," said Utilicom's chief executive, Simon Woodward.
The generator is being installed as part of the Broad Street District Energy Scheme, which aims to reduce carbon dioxide emissions in the city centre by 20% over the next four years. The project is scheduled to be fully operational by 1 October 2007. | <urn:uuid:5130e73a-fd33-48ba-9a21-63eae8a2410d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.venues.org.uk/news/the-icc-helps-reduce-birminghams-carbon-footprint.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.967368 | 351 | 1.984375 | 2 |

Zedoary is a plant which is also known as white turmeric. Its underground stem (rhizome) is used to make medicine. The traditional methods of preparing Zedoary is to wash in plenty of water. Rinsing should remove a toxin that has not yet been identified.
Zedoary is the best treatment for colic, seizures, loss of appetite, and indigestion. Some people also use it for anxiety, depression, fatigue and pain, and swelling (inflammation).
Zedoary is sometimes applied directly to the skin to repel mosquitoes. In Indian cuisine, it is replaced with similar-looking ginger, which is widely used.

In the Middle Ages, white turmeric or Zedoary was recognized in the spice trade because people believed that its aroma was a mixture of mango, turmeric, and ginger. The plant is also mentioned in a 13th-century poem by Roman de la Rose, and the 17th-century herbalist Nicola Calpepor is said to be effective in combating toxins, expelling air, vomiting, preventing menstruation and flow, and killing worms and Colic.

Zedoaria or white Turmeric is a herbaceous and rhizome perennial plant that can grow up to 1.2 meters in height and has an upright dorsal structure, a worm, and underground cylindrical branches or rhizomes, and tasty roots.
The rhizome is pale yellow on the outside and bright yellow and dark brown on the inside. Some roots come like terminal storage structures. From March to April, the axillary buds of the corn axis and the apical buds of the third row of rhizomes emerge as inflorescences above the ground.
Its basal flower spike grows up to 30 cm in height, appearing before the foliage. At the tip closest to the flower spike, a plant shoot always develops. Additional floral buds do not germinate, but more plant shoots are formed. New branches begin to form in the corns of the recently formed aerial shoots.
In autumn, the foliage above ground dies again. Storage roots are formed from November to December, with a high (> 70%) carbohydrate content. It is traditionally used to treat menstrual disorders, dyspepsia, vomiting, and cancer.
Rural people use rhizome for its antiseptic, carminative, expectorant, deodorant, diuretic, and stimulant properties, while also being used in rheumatism dyspepsia, colds, coughs, and fevers.
How Does it Work in Your Body?
There is not a lot of scientific evidence on how Zedoary can be used to treat medical problems. Scientists have not yet carried out human studies with Zedoary or white Turmeric. So far, scientists have only tested the Zedoary in test tubes or animals. The findings of several such studies show that Zedoary may act as an antibiotic. Also, it is useful in repelling mosquitoes.
13 Health Benefits of Zedoary
Zedoary or white Turmeric is one of the herbal medicines for your body. It contains some chemical constituents that are: flavonoids, tianin, resins, sugar, starch, saponins, and curcumin that can stop the growth of the cancer cells.
The Delhi-based nutritionist Lokendra Tomar said that the “Zedoary” is rarely used when compared to the yellow Turmeric. But it also provides many health benefits to you. Here we’ve mentioned some benefits of zedoary that will force you to add more to your diet. Let’s take an in-depth look at the benefits.
1. Supports the Digestive System
Zedoary is one of the best herbs for digestive problems, especially the gastrointestinal tract. It can help with flatulence, irregular bowel movements, and indigestion.
Its essential oil and the herb itself are beneficial in treating colic, indigestion, seizures, loss of appetite, worm infections, flatulence, irregular bowel movement, and indigestion. It is also one of the excellent natural aids in stopping stress-related ulcers.
2. Decrease Inflammation
The white Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory properties can help combat inflammation, treat wounds, and other skin diseases. Moreover, zedoary is one of the best natural remedies for people who are affected by arthritis. One study found that the curcumin compound of the rhizome can decrease the pain of your body.
In Indonesia, zedoary is used as a medicine to treat inflammatory bowel disease (ulcerative colitis). It has also been used to protect the lungs of asthma patients by controlling the release of inflammatory mediators during short-term treatment.
Zedoary’s diuretic properties support the removal of toxins and excess fluid from the body, especially in the joints. If not toxic, it can cause inflammation and pain in areas such as arthritis and rheumatism. It lowers body temperature during fever, by cleansing the body of infectious germs and promoting perspiration.
3. Helps to Strengthen Respiratory System
Generally, Kapha dosha is created by fluids like phlegm and mucus build-up in the lungs as well as other regions of the body. Mucus and phlegm block the nasal passages that may lead to respiratory diseases such as cold, asthma, and cough, as well as cause breathing issues.
Consuming zedoary as a form of powder every day can decrease the risk of respiratory diseases.
4. High in Antioxidant Properties
Generally, zedoary is rich in antioxidants. Due to this presence, it prevents the free radical’s growth that may cause harm. The zedoary essential oil also has good antioxidant properties. Its curcumin compound works as an anti-allergen to avoid the chemical discharges and the activity of inflammatory proteins that trigger skin-related allergic reactions.
5. Has Antimicrobial Properties
Tuber extracts exhibit effective antimicrobial activity against E. coli, S. aureus, Carnobacterium species, Candida sp, and Aspergillus sp.
One research has shown that the antimicrobial action of zedoary is as effective as a commercial mouthwash in preventing the growth of the oral pathogen.
The antifungal activity of zedoary is effectively stopping the growth of drug-resistant fungal species. It inhibits the growth of Entamoeba histolytica, amoebae, and also has a larvicidal effect against mosquitoes.
6. Anti-inflammatory and Painkiller Property
Curcumin derived from this rhizome gives better analgesic activity than aspirin. Rhizome extracts have analgesic activity in the form of stomach upsets and compounds- curcumin and dihydrocodeine contribute to its analgesic action.
7. Antinyeri medicine
It was believed that white Turmeric would be used as a painkiller or medicine to relieve pain. But this effect is based on how much you use.
8. Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties
Zedoary can decrease the amount of microbes in the mouth with the same results as mouthwash products available on the market. Moreover, its extracts stop the fungal activity in your body.
White turmeric juice is the best medicine for snake bites also inhibits the action of the snake venom.
10. Ulcer Medicine
Its root powder helps decrease the stomach fluid’s acidity so that it can be used as a tukak medicine. Medical research in humans is still needed for these benefits.
11. Reduce the Blood Sugar Level
Consuming white Turmeric every day can lower your blood sugar level. Moreover, it helps to increase blood circulation and decrease the bad cholesterol level. The high cholesterol level may lead to severe heart diseases like a heart attack.
12. Can Fight Against Cancer
Zedoary plays a vital role in stopping the cancer metastases or the spread of cancer from an organ to other organs. But more research is needed on its effectiveness in overcoming cancer. As its essential oils have antioxidants they can decrease the influence of some free radicals.
White Turmeric or zedoary is one of the best natural treatments for asthma, arthritis, anti-rheumatism, and diuretic medications.
13. Benefits for Women Problems
White Turmeric can give relief from menstruation pain, and speed up menstruation. Consuming zedoary every day can treat leucorrhea.

Culinary Uses of Zedoary
It is widely used in Thai cuisine. People cut the raw zedoary as thin strips then add into the Thai salads. In some types of nam phrik, zedoary can be cut into thin slices and added with other herbs and vegetables. It is one of the main ingredients in most of the famous dishes in India.
Zedoary root is also edible. Inside, the root is white in color, the aroma of this root is reminiscent of mango. Nonetheless, it tastes like ginger but leaves a very bitter taste after eating.
In Indonesia, people dry this root and infuse it into a powder, which is then incorporated into curry pastes. In India, people use the fresh zedoary roots for culinary purposes or to make pickles.
Moreover, the thin strips of the root and other different herbs and vegetables are called nam phrik with a specific type of Thai chili paste. The zedoary root tastes like ginger, hot, but it leaves a bitter aftertaste in the mouth.
Most people don’t like this herb due to its unacceptable taste. So that it is never used separately; it always joins with other varieties of spices. Also, the root of this zedoary contains starch, which helps to act as a thickener.
In India, people generally use fresh roots in the form of spices and thickeners. New zedoary roots are often grated and used in locally prepared pickle mixtures known as “achar.” The thickener form of this mixture is “shoti” by Indians. On the other hand, the zedoary is used in the curry powder in Indonesia and China, particularly in seafood cooking.
The powder of the zedoary also gives a unique flavor to your food. In China, dried zedoary powder is called “kentjur.” When you cut and dried the roots of the zedoary, the color may turn into grey from yellow.
Generally, zedoary is used in the form of spice in stains and condiments. You can make an infusion with zedoary by adding the herb to boiling water at the rate of one tablespoon white Turmeric per pint of water.
The resulting solution is fragrant and bitter. One cup of this unsweetened infusion is taken 30 minutes before meals. Take 20 to 30 drops daily of tinctures made from zedoary roots.
Based on people’s health, age, and other conditions, the dosage method will vary. There is not enough scientific research to define the correct ranges of zedoary dosage. Remember that all-natural and herbal products are not always safe. The amount of product is essential. It is good to consult your doctor before consuming the zedoary.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding:
If you are pregnant, then don’t consume zedoary because it may cause miscarriage. If you are a breastfeeding woman, it is best to avoid zedoary as there is not enough scientific information to know how it can affect a nursing baby.
Heavy menstrual periods (menorrhagia):
Some experts do not recommend Zedoary for women with heavy menstruation.
People who are consuming blood-thinning medications and blood pressure medicines should consult their doctor before taking White Turmeric.

Today, the works of Vincent van Gogh (1853-1890) are among the most well known and celebrated in the world. In Sunflowers, The Starry Night, Self-Portrait with Bandaged Ear, and many paintings and drawings beyond, we recognize an artist uniquely dexterous in the portrayal of mood and place through paint, pencil, charcoal, or chalk.
Yet as he was deploying the lurid colors, emphatic brushwork, and contoured forms that would subsequently make his name, van Gogh battled not only the disinterest of his contemporary audience but also devastating bouts of mental illness. His episodes of depression and anxiety would eventually claim his life, when, in 1890, he committed suicide shortly after his 37th birthday.
This richly illustrated introduction follows Vincent van Gogh's story from his earliest pictures of peasants and rural workers, through his bright Parisian period, to his final, feverish burst of creative energy in the South of France during the last two and a half years of his life. | <urn:uuid:bc5d5b88-e81e-4445-8dbb-22fe5af2ea45> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.arkady.info/van-gogh.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.98468 | 210 | 3.296875 | 3 |

The Telegraph Children’s Bath Literature Festival in association with Waterstones
Children’s Literature is where stories have their start, where literary culture is constantly recreated. Like children themselves, it can be hilarious and troubled, barmy and profound. This lecture, by our Artistic Director and Visiting Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University, celebrates children’s own creativity, from which we all have much to learn. And it celebrates and explores their literature, which evades easy classifications, and which should give hope to us all. | <urn:uuid:840a4b59-0c17-4609-9575-a7545304872c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://bath.co.uk/event/david-almond-professorial-lecture | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.947548 | 173 | 1.515625 | 2 |
Artistic transformations of the book in North America, and fine press printing in the US.
The Eccles Centre’s Summer Scholars season of free in-person lunchtime talks explores the exciting and wide-ranging research into the Americas collections at the British Library by the Eccles Centre’s Fellows and Award winners. The talks take place in the British Library Entrance Hall bookshop and attendees are welcome to bring their lunch.
Experimental Writing and Codex Transformations
Tatiani Rapatzikou uses case studies to explore the print book and its artistic transformations in contemporary North American culture. In particular, she considers the book as a material object and medium of storytelling and the use of mixed-media and artist-book practices for the creation of an enhanced narrative experience.
The interweaving of literary writing with materials, page design and digital media leads not only to the re-evaluation of the book form but also to a far more diversified and interactive reading experience.
US Fine Presses Since 1945
The British Library holds an extraordinary collection of publications by American fine presses. These hand-printed books can be objects of breath-taking skill and imagination. Jean Petrovic discusses the development of US fine press printing since 1945 and the creation of her recent guide to these holdings.
Tatiani Rapatzikou is Associate Professor at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, and director of the Digital Humanities Lab ‘Psifis’ in its Faculty of Philosophy. She has been a Fulbright Visiting Scholar at M.I.T., a Visiting Research Scholar at Duke University, and a visiting scholar at York University in Toronto, Canada. Her teaching and research interests broadly focus on Contemporary American Literature and Culture, electronic (born digital) literature, print and digital convergence, cyberpunk and technological uncanny (with emphasis on William Gibson’s writings).
Jean Petrovic is Bibliographical Editor at the Eccles Centre for American Studies at the British Library and is the Centre's lead for Canada. She has compiled many guides to the Library’s collections, particularly its US holdings. She holds a BA (Hons) in American Studies, an MA in History (US) and a Master of Library Science.

Millions worldwide are using propane to make their lives more comfortable because compared to other sources of energy, the advantages of propane are tough to beat.
Clean – Propane is clean burning and non-toxic
Propane is Clean and Efficient
Compared to gasoline, propane yields 12 percent less carbon dioxide, about 20 percent less nitrous oxide, and as much as 60 percent less carbon monoxide. (World LP Gas Association, January 2003, and California Energy Commission, January 2003)
Propane cuts emissions of toxins and carcinogens like benzene and toluene by up to 96 percent, compared to gasoline, according to studies by the Southwest Research Institute. Propane has long been recognized as the “green” energy. By using this exceptional energy, homeowners can help cut emissions and protect the environment.
Propane is an approved alternative fuel listed in both the Clean Air Act of 1990 and the National Energy Policy Act of 1992.
Propane is nontoxic and insoluble in water. Because it is released as a gas, it doesn’t spill, pool, or leave a residue.
Propane exhaust creates 60 percent to 70 percent less smog-producing hydrocarbons than gasoline, according to studies by the Southwest Research Institute.
Reliable – Propane works when and where other energy sources don’t
Propane is There When You Want it
Almost 90 percent of all propane is produced right here in the United States. You can always count on it. Propane gas – used by millions of households each year – gives homeowners a reliable answer.
Good Value – Propane can offer significant savings over the alternatives
Propane is Fuel Efficient.
Propane offers you a very attractive combination: it costs less and works harder.
Propane burns hotter and more evenly than many other fuels. Propane appliances have a shorter energy savings payback period (the time it takes for an appliance to pay for itself via energy savings).* With propane, you pay less for your energy and you save money each time you use it.
* Appliance costs based on average consumption for a family of five.
Safe – Propane has built-in safety properties along with stringent safety regulations
Safety is Our Highest Priority
Propane has quite a remarkable safety record, due in large part to the stringent codes and regulations developed by the propane industry and the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). Statistics compiled by the NFPA indicate that the safest way to heat is with gas.
Propane has Built-in Safety Properties. It won’t ignite when combined with air unless the source of ignition reaches 940° F. It is nontoxic and produces minimal emissions. It is not harmful to soil or water.

I'm writing an essay on the coon caricature. Your website provided a wealth of information and I first want to thank you for providing exhaustive research on the subject.
My thesis (and this will be a very short paper - between 2 and 3 pages) focuses on the shifting use of the word coon. As shown by your research, "coons were increasingly identified with young, urban Blacks who disrespected Whites." Today, however, that does not seem to be the case. Using pop culture references and various media, I plan to show that today, coon is used to refer to the exact opposite of its original target: docile, subservient Blacks who are often deemed "sellouts" by their poorer, urban counterparts. Further, I plan to demonstrate that the shifting usage of the word coon highlights the inter-class conflict among African Americans. This demonstration, however, rests on the assumption that, at one point or another in history, whites were not the only ones calling poor, urban Blacks coons; that affluent Blacks also felt this way about their lower-class brothers and sisters.
I was wondering if you could steer me in the proper direction for research: books, magazines, music, films, interviews; anything will suffice and I will be greatly appreciative. Any of your own commentary is welcome as well.
In 2004, Nas, a multiplatinum-selling rapper, released a song called "Coon Picnic," in which he called out individuals he felt were race traitors. The song reflected the sentiments of many African Americans who casually refer to the Colin Powells, Condoleeza Rices, and Clarence Thomases of today as coons, sellouts, and race traitors. Between today and the early 20th century, I hope to connect the link and illuminate just exactly when urban Blacks "took back" the word coon.
Thank you for your time. Sincerely,

Look Up: The redbudPosted: May 6, 2010
One of my favorite springtime flowering trees is the eastern redbud (cercis canadensis). I first noticed the redbud in abundance (and in the wild) when we lived in West Virginia and southern Ohio. The bark of the tree has been used to treat dysentery and the flowers can be eaten in salads. They need sunlight to produce their blossoms, but don’t care too much for heat or sun during the summer months so they do well in partial shade. In the spring months they can often be spotted as part of the forest undergrowth, the colors of the flowers making them pop out.
The redbud is also known as the Judas Tree because it is believed to be the type of tree on which Judas hanged himself. The eastern redbud, however, is a different type than the redbud which grows in the Mediterranean.
I had to look up to capture these photos. Although redbuds are not the tallest trees in the forest (or in Hershey Gardens where I took these pictures), they are still trees and taller than me. I didn’t realize until I looked up that the buds sometimes sprout directly from the trunk of the tree. | <urn:uuid:37e7374c-160a-47bd-bfff-224462d716bc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://bogsofohio.wordpress.com/2010/05/06/look-up-the-redbud/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.973937 | 264 | 2.75 | 3 |

Progressive organizations are discovering that their leaders have more impact when they serve their inspiring corporate purpose faithfully and collaboratively, rather than pushing their personal sense of direction.
For many leaders, this requires a significant shift in mindset.
It is a shift away from being certain of the best way forward, and taking ownership of that direction. It is a shift towards greater humility in the knowledge that they don't have all the answers and that, in engaging others in support of a shared purpose, a more powerful sense of direction emerges. Fundamentally it is a shift away from assertiveness and towards listening to different perspectives, synthesising and facilitating the engagement of others.
One of the most powerful examples of this is told in Ernesto Sirolli's excellent book on economic development, "Ripples from the Zambezi". To get a taste of Sirolli's logic and emphasis on the power of listening, check out his TEDx talk where he explains how failing to listen during well-meaning attempts to feed a community resulted in nothing more than breakfast for hungry hippos!
Truly purposeful leaders understand that their role is to serve the emergence and delivery of a compelling purpose. In doing so they move from a closed style of listening, where they only hear what supports their personal world-view, to one that is open to new data, understands and tunes into the perspectives of others, and ultimately is able to sense the emergence of a new future that is effectively co-created.
Otto Scharmer, author of "Theory-U", describes this form of listening as "generative" and explains the journey to being proficient on YouTube . Generative listening is something that is difficult to learn from a book or teach in a traditional classroom. However, experiential learning, systems thinking and immersion-style development offer a diverse range of opportunities to put leaders into situations where they must serve a purpose that is bigger than they are, and where they are required to work with others who may hold very different views to their own.

Is the pain in my sty supposed to spread to my eyelid.?

Sometimes: A stye is like a pimple on or in the lid. A pimple on the face, because of deep skin attachments stays in one spot. On the lid, there are no deep attachments because the lid requires mobility, so the inflammation can diffuse over a broad area of the lid. So it commonly will. Treatment is best started with topical very warm packs applied frequently. If that fails then see your ophthalmologist.

Dental Services for Infants, Children, & Teens
Great oral health is a lifelong commitment and at Suwanee Pediatric Dentistry, we are committed to providing your family with the best dental care throughout all seasons of life.
Dentistry for Infants
Following the American Dental Association’s (ADA) recommendation, our pediatric dentists recommend scheduling your infant’s first exam before their first birthday (even if a tooth has yet to emerge). While this first exam is mostly to get to know you and your child, our dentist may do a quick check of your child’s gums and/or existing teeth to examine their bite and look for any potential infection. We are experienced in providing infant dental care, and we’ll happily answer all the questions you have about your child’s growing smile.
Dental Care for Toddlers
When your child’s baby teeth start to develop in full force, it’s time to step up the dental care and we’re prepared for the challenge. Sucking fingers and thumbs is a common move for many toddlers, but what parents don’t often know is that this can actually cause damage to the position of the jaw over time. Our Suwanee pediatric dentist is happy to answer any questions you may have about this habit and offer tips for how to motivate your toddler to grow out of it.
Outside of education about non-nutritive habits, our expert pediatric dentist will work to strengthen your child’s smile with a routine dental cleaning and exam. Pediatric dental cleanings are especially important for growing smiles because they get rid of accumulations of dental plaque, a bacteria-filled substance that can cause cavities. By cleaning it away, we’re able to protect smiles from tooth decay and help your toddler feel refreshed!
As your child ages, their baby teeth will be replaced by permanent adult teeth. During this time, we’ll work with you and your child to instill great oral hygiene habits to protect your child’s smile for a lifetime. Around age 7, our team may recommend your child be scheduled for an orthodontic consultation. Orthodontics consultations don’t always mean braces right away, but it does give us time to familiarize ourselves with the unique needs of your child and help you choose the best time to start any necessary treatment!
ORAL HEALTH FOR TEENS
At Suwanee Pediatric Dentistry, we want your teen to feel confident that they are in the hands of the best pediatric dental team. With school, social lives, and personal development taking up so much of their time, it’s our job to make sure teens don’t have to worry too much about their teeth. Our pediatric dentists are happy to work with children up to age 18 to provide the education and services they may need to maintain a beautiful, confident smile. Throughout the teenage years, we’ll monitor your child’s teeth for any signs of decay, provide preventive care to ensure they stay healthy, and help your child establish an oral health routine that protects their teeth for life.

Public vote winner for sustainable design of the year: Aalto University professor Julia Lohmann designed a pavilion made entirely of seaweed.
At the 50th World Economic Forum Meeting in Davos, Switzerland, Julia Lohmann's seaweed pavilion encouraged world leaders to make difficult decisions and establish a "do-tank" way of collaborating.
The installation underlined that design can play a major role in realising changes on a vast scale. But we need to redefine design from "we make objects" to "we enable change for sustainability."
The pavilion represents The Department of Seaweed, a community of practice Julia Lohmann founded around the sustainable development of seaweed as a material for making.
Designer: Professor Julia Lohmann

From TheChels.info - The Chelsea Football Club Wiki
|Full Name||James Robertson|
|Date of Birth||1880|
|Place of Birth||Glasgow, Scotland|
|Debut||30 September 1905|
|Games (goals)||31 (22)|
|Other clubs|| Crewe Alexandra|
James "Jimmy" Robertson (1880 – after 1955) was a Scottish inside right who joined Chelsea at the start of the club's first season in 1905, and played for the club until 1907.
Born in Glasgow, he moved to England to join Crewe Alexandra, then playing in the Birmingham & District League, where he made his name as a goal-poacher. He signed for Small Heath, newly-promoted to the Football League First Division in 1903 for a fee of £25, but failed to adapt to League football. Two years later, along with fellow Small Heath players Jimmy Windridge and Bob McRoberts, he moved to Chelsea.
Robertson scored on his Chelsea debut; the only goal of the game at Leicester Fosse. He went on to score 21 league goals for Chelsea, plus one of the six goals in the club's first FA Cup match against a side representing the 1st Grenadier Guards. Robertson left Chelsea in 1907, and spells followed with Leyton, Partick Thistle, Ayr United, Barrow, Leeds City and Gateshead Town, before he retired in 1915. | <urn:uuid:1a1f7a62-c4e6-4223-89d7-92164683ce3d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://thechels.info/wiki/James_Robertson | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.92363 | 357 | 2.015625 | 2 |
To many of us, our pets are considered members of our family and we want to make sure that they receive as good of care as possible. Sometimes though, the cost can be substantial. Due to this, pet care can be neglected because our dog or cat appears to be healthy. Preventative care and exams are just as important for our pets as having them looked at once they appear ill. In many cases, a pet may have been ill for quite awhile before even showing any signs. Dr. Keshava Eega at Pavilion Crossing Animal Hospital in Riverview, FL offers pet wellness plans which can help with the cost associated with animal care.
When you bring home your brand-new puppy or kitten, you are gearing up for a happy life-long relationship with them. To make that a reality, their health must always be taken seriously. Animal care, for many, can become a cost that is hard to cover. From the time they are newborn, our pets all deserve the best in quality and preventative care. A wellness plan not only will help take the guess work out of what is best for your pet but will keep long-term costs down as well.
A pet wellness plan offers an array of preventative care benefits that can improve your pet’s quality of life. A wellness plan makes this care simple and will ensure that your pet is receiving the personalized care they need as they progress through all stages of life. Even still, many pet owners may be on the fence about joining such a plan through their veterinarian. If you are not sure about enrolling into such a plan for your pets, please consider the following benefits such a plan may include.
Our pets age at an incredibly rapid pace when compared to a human. For each human year, a dog or cat will age anywhere from six to ten years in comparison. This makes regular comprehensive checkups incredibly important. Household pets should typically receive two per year. A pet wellness plan, paid monthly, could very well include unlimited free visits and exams (you’ll need to check with your specific vet) so getting your pet in for these twice-yearly exams is made much easier. These exams are incredibly important to detect any health issues early so that your pet can receive the care necessary before an issue has the chance to become something worse.
When enrolled in a wellness plan, preventative care will most often be offered at a reduced cost to those not part of a plan. You’ll need to check with your vet to see exactly what all is covered but many plans will cover routine blood work, vaccines, deworming, fecal exams and more. Preventative care keeps your pet healthy and allows for early detection of any diseases. When problems are detected early, treatment options will be more numerous and will offer greater success in treatment. The last thing you want is a nasty surprise regarding your pet’s health, so making sure they receive the preventative care they need is important.
Did you know that untreated dental issues are not only a danger to your pet’s teeth and gums, but could also lead to issues such as heart and kidney disease? It’s true that, when left untreated, dental issues pose a far greater danger to our pets than most of us realize. It’s not just bad breath and gingivitis. Many wellness plans (again, check with your vet to see what is offered) will include some form of dental cleaning for your pet to keep those teeth and gums healthy and clean.
If you are interested in enrolling your beloved pet into a wellness plan to make sure they are getting the care they need at a cost that is affordable to you, please give Dr. Keshava Eega at Pavilion Crossing Animal Hospital in Riverview, FL a call today at (813) 670-8881.

Born in eastern Ukraine and raised in the city of Artemovsk (recently renamed Bakhmut), Cal State Fullerton’s Associate Professor of Computer Science, Mikhail Gofman, is the director of the Center for Cybersecurity and a certified information systems security professional.
As the conflict in Eastern Europe continues, Gofman, himself a Ukranian refugee, offers his thoughts on the cybersecurity threat to his country.
“I am sure that Ukraine and its allies have invested significant time and resources trying to perform penetration tests on the systems controlling Ukrainian critical infrastructure to ensure resilience against the onslaught of Russian attacks. Ukraine has also recently started recruiting volunteers to its IT army whose job it is to perform both defensive and offensive maneuvers in the war with Russia.”
The war in Ukraine is not only impacting global economies, it has caused concerns for cybersecurity experts worldwide. Gofman continues to monitor Russia’s role in web security and the potential impact to the U.S. and the world.
“So far, we have not seen Russia unleash notable sophisticated cyber-attacks against US during/as a result of the ongoing Ukraine crisis. However, this can change depending on the escalation. Russia can attempt to stop/rob banks, shut down the electrical grid, and affect other vital services. It is also worth adding that many state-sponsored attacks, known as the Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs), are incredibly stealthy. Some have previously taken months/years to discover. As we speak, it is possible that the systems have already been infected and the data is being exfiltrated. We are just not aware of it. Even worse, the malwares can be in a dormant state waiting to be activated when the time is right (perhaps if/when the conflict escalates). At the same time, it is also true that US does have the full capacity to respond to Russian attacks with just as crippling cyberattacks."
Gofman continues to monitor the situation in Ukraine adding, “I have relatives in the affected areas and close family friends in bomb shelters.”

The commercial real estate sector is a major investment subset of the larger real estate industry. More investors are targeting moving into commercial real estate properties (e.g. business parks and resorts), owing to the lucrative benefits and returns. Of late, however, the industry has been discovered to be largely affected by five major issues. Although these issues do not really pose a huge risk to investment, they play a huge role in shaping how investors go about due diligence before, during, and after investment.
Commercial properties are largely situated within urban areas, which are controlled by municipal regulations. Environmental concerns have been voiced in the past on how these commercial properties affect the welfare of the surrounding communities. The situation of mixed-use properties, which places residential properties close to commercial properties, does pose a huge issue on resource contamination.
Commercial properties are largely prone to major disasters, including fire. The risk of fire razing down commercial properties that are situated in urban areas in close proximity to other properties is a major point of concern. Although today’s buildings are constructed in a way to facilitate fire safety, the internal operations undertaken within the properties do exponentially increase the risk of disaster. For example, properties used to manufacture lithium-ion batteries are highly prone to fire.
Mother nature has never been forgiving to buildings. The construction of commercial properties does pose a huge challenge to structural engineers as they contemplate how they can make these buildings as strong and durable as possible. Hurricanes and floods are two environmental disasters that have a huge impact on commercial real estate properties.
Demand for Properties
For commercial real estate investors to actualize profits in their investments, they must assess the existence of demand for the same. In the recent past, there has been a gradual shift in the dynamics of demand for commercial real estate properties. Businesses now demand buildings that are strategically situated, which come fully equipped with the logistical frameworks to support operations. Commercial properties constructed years ago, therefore, do experience little or no demand.
Demand for commercial real estate properties is largely dependent on the existence of a favorable national, regional, and even global political climate. Political analysis has revealed that businesses take a huge hit whenever a country goes into elections. The political uncertainties exhibited in this case destabilize businesses, which in turn has a huge effect on the demand from commercial properties. | <urn:uuid:afb5b368-5427-42db-b58b-a5c71132e1c4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://jacobbump.com/top-five-issues-affecting-commercial-real-estate/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.947255 | 480 | 2.28125 | 2 |

|Summary:||1915 1915 1910s 18 pages 6 as some authorities formerly viewed it; but, on the other hand, is considered by the most prominent authorities as injurious to the woman's nervous system. The following are some of the best known men who look upon the practice as not beneficial to the woman : August Forel, Heinrich Kisch, Von Krafft-Ebing, Mensinga, Hirt, Frend, Lowenfeld, Elischer, Havelock Ellis, and many others. In the preceding pamphlet on "Family Limitation," I have explained this habit and the effects it has upon women, and shall not dwell upon it here. It is sufficient to say that "coitus interruptus" is considered as the cause of nervous disturbances and other serious conditions of the generative organs in woman by many prominent medical authorities of the day. "The lack of sexual satisfaction," concludes Kisch, "aggravates nervous and hysterical trouble in women, while suitably regulated intercourse with mutual satisfaction has an actively beneficial effect." There has been among men a common idea that woman had little or no sex desire or interest, and that marriage sanctioned a union which made of woman a recipient but not a mutual partner in the sex life. Fortunately this idea is giving way, and men of ideals and fine temperaments dislike the idea of the relation when it is not mutual. That is one of the reasons that the use of preventive measures has come to play so important a part in the lives of both men and women, and why it must sooner or later receive the fullest attention from the medical profession, as well as from society at large. Tolstoy was opposed to the use of preventives because they liberate men from the cares and sorrows of having children, which he thought must be regarded as the penance to be paid for sensual love. One might naturally ask why the children should be made to suffer; and if sensual love is a degraded love, why not prevent children being born in it? I think we, who have in view a new race, do not desire that race to be the penance of previous generations' sins.

Are some ways of achieving transparency better than others?
There are many ways to prove transparency once your evidence is in the public domain. But what about during the analytical process and afterwards? Many analytics solutions come in black-box form. You can’t ‘take the lid off’ and see inside in order to report on how exactly your ‘evidence’ has been calculated.
We recommend an open system, that allows you to see and record any changes made by data scientists and therefore to audit and report on them. This level of ‘in production’ transparency means that as data scientists join and leave your organisation there is a bread crumb trail others can follow – and this mitigates risk for project continuity and the efficacy of your evidence.
An open system like this, eradicates many of the challenges public sector organisations are now experiencing with open source analytics. While appearing less expensive in capital costs, these up-front savings are often eroded because of the lack of scalability, quality processes and continuity provided. As different data scientists deploy their own particular way of doing things cost, compliance and efficiency issues are introduced. The result is that with open source and some black-box proprietary solutions you will never be able to completely understand the analytic approaches being used. Therefore, an essential component of your evidence base will be missing – and that’s not great for delivering meaningful visibility.
It is possible to acquire the best of both worlds. Take a look at SAS ViyaTM to see how we can support the advanced levels of visibility government departments must deliver – whether you work with open source analytics or not. | <urn:uuid:75ddfb19-52a7-498a-be17-97c6780d7cc5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.sas.com/en_gb/news/e-newsletters/public-sector-newsletter/prove-transparency-viya.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.946944 | 337 | 1.929688 | 2 |

The term “Finance” is used to describe the field of business and also business economics. There are 3 main locations of financing, each with their very own customized standards, organizations, and also objectives. For example, business money is a branch of business economics that focuses on investment. Public financing deals with the monitoring of public funds. Wholesale money concentrates on inter-institutional profession and also fund-management. Several of the areas within wholesale financing include public, private, and also individual financing.
A bachelor’s level in finance is the first step. Undergraduate financing courses can last three to 4 years, while master’s programs take one to two years. No matter the degree level, financing courses supply pupils an extensive understanding of the business globe. Normal analysis approaches consist of written exams, team task job, and specific component assignments. A bachelor’s degree in finance can cause a financially rewarding career in a range of banks.

An Abridged Guide to the Enterprise Linux Landscape
From robust security to high levels of flexibility, Linux offers businesses an array of attractive benefits. Here's what you need to know in a nutshell about the modern enterprise Linux landscape.
Whether you are welcoming CentOS Stream or looking for alternatives, the recent decision from the CentOS community to focus on CentOS Stream has forced a lot of technical leaders to rethink their Enterprise Linux strategy. Beneath that decision, the business landscape involving Linux has shifted and expanded since its enterprise debut in the late 90s, when IBM would invest $1 billion in its development.
Today, Linux comes in every shape and size imaginable — with the kernel running on tiny low power computers and IoT devices, mobile phones, tablets, laptops all the way up to midrange and high-power mainframe servers.
Cutting through that expansive selection to understand which Linux distributions truly align with the needs of a business can lead to more frictionless deployments and successful execution while minimizing waste in maintenance cycles and optimizing overall cost. | <urn:uuid:3b8d9aa7-795a-49c2-99b5-80151879645d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://linuxsecurity.com/news/security-trends/an-abridged-guide-to-the-enterprise-linux-landscape | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.930742 | 211 | 1.578125 | 2 |
Last Report on the Miracles of Little No Horse
Last Report On The Miracles Of No Horse: A Review of the Literature The focal character in this novel had many different characters throughout this touching narrative. Though the main focus was on the priest, Father Damien Modeste, he began and was actually a woman. Beginning as a young girl, Agnes Vogel nee DeWitt, was also known as former Sister Cecilia of a convent in Wisconsin, widow of Berndt Vogel and lover of the piano and, more specifically, the Polish music composer, Chopin.
I am going to focus on her particular love of music, piano playing and her interest in Chopin which seemed to have caused many therapeutic effects on her. Being a pianist myself, I was compelled to ask the question throughout the book, how can music have such an impact and truly influence the consciousness and perception of a person like we see in DeWitt’s life story? I would like to conclude by paralleling this to my own experience using this instrument. Agnes Vogel DeWitt This novel begins with Agnes as young girl, around the age of eighteen who seems to be searching for her purpose and place in this world.
We aren’t told much of her family or background but it seems that she was one is need. This is when she ends up at her future lover, Berndt Vogel’s barn hungry and exhausted. Even in these moments of desperation she is thinking of finding a piano to play (Erdrich 19). Throughout the book when Agnes is facing difficult times and moments of utter desperation, we see her turn to Chopin, her music, her piano. After a series of tragedies with a flood, Agnes becomes Father Damien Modeste by placing his clothes on her.
From this time forward Agnes/Father Damien lives the life of a priest giving of herself to a Native tribe. She is shown to mix the cultures and learn so much from them (Erdrich 276). But throughout this time and the remainder of her life she is also secretly torn apart inside with her own identity. This is where music seems to come in and play a major role for her, helping her to deal with life. It seems that her religious background in Catholicism caused her to constantly be at war within herself over her love of this instrument.
She saw the piano as something that she thought God would disapprove of in her life. Something that she even thought would bring her to hell. When the devil appeared to her in the form of a dog, the author significantly had the dog speaking to her on top of the piano. The dog tries discouraging her, telling her that she wants to die. She responds tiredly asking if there is a “good piano in hell” and the dog responds that the “devil owns all of the finest makers of musical instruments” (Erdrich 309).
This gives the reader a sense of understanding that Agnes actually had a guilt and shame associated with her enjoyment of music. If Agnes could have only better understood the nature of music and had a proper perception of how it possessed a positive aspect on a person and could actually be used to help strengthen her spirit as well as others she could’ve felt even more liberated. Her ability to performing music was given to her as a beautiful gift and was used as an asset to others in a positive way.
This could and should be seen as something which God looks down upon favorably. Music: Therapeutic Effects Throughout History “Canst thou not minister to a mind diseased. Pluck from the memory a rooted sorrow. Raze out the written troubles of the brain, And with some sweet oblivious antidote, Cleanse the full bosom of that perilous stuff, Which weighs upon the heart… ” – Macbeth, reflecting on music, In Macbeth, Shakespeare (Campbell 121) Throughout history, music has been understood and used in various ways for therapeutic purposes.
Consider for instance that the very word “music” derives from the Greek Muses, which were nine goddesses of the fine arts and sciences, all of which they saw were divinely inspired to bring love, pleasure, passion, heavenly sound, harmony etc (Schneck 23). In the book, Music Therapy, Edward Podolsky goes into depth on the historical origins of music being used and regarded therapeutically; “The Egyptians called music the “physic of the soul,” the Persians, who regarded music as an expression of the good principle Ohura-Mazda, are said to have cured various illnesses by the sound of the lute.
The ancient Hebrews employed music in several recorded cases of physical and mental illness. ” The Chinese thinker and social philosopher named Confucius “was a great lover of music; it was his belief that music was a definite aid to harmonious living. ” There were also Plato and Aristotle who regarded music very highly. Plato expressed in The Republic his belief that “health in mind and body could be obtained through music. ” (Podolsky). Shamanism has been studied in depth with the connection to use of music therapeutically (Wigram 17).
Music therapy in the United States began in the late 18th century. However, using music as a healing medium dates back to ancient times (MAM). One could continue to go on and on with so many historical examples of the therapeutic use of music on the human body. But from the humble beginnings of music, the art of composing has continued to grow drastically over time. Today there is much research and data proving scientifically that music is even more recognized for its benefits and even detriment on the physiological and psychological systems of the body (Cook).
Research recently, after about 250 years of separation, is once again uniting medicine, health psychology and music therapy together realizing that man is not merely a ‘machine’, but a complex, bio-psycho-social being: a unity of body mind and spirit and music has a comprehensive effect and meaning on all levels. We should look to our past, seeing and learning from these ancient cultures which have used resources such as music who have had understanding and knowledge of the healthy benefits it possesses. Benefits of Music
Whether it is inside the human body or outside, nature – as expressed through the laws of physics – works the same way. One way which nature is expressed is through music. Research has shown that music can and does influence central physiological variables like our blood pressure, heart rate, respiration, EEG measurements, body temperature and galvanic skin response. Music influences immune and endocrine function. The existing research literature shows growing knowledge of how music can ameliorate pain, anxiety, nausea, fatigue and depression (Myskja A).
There are ample testimonies and heart-warming stories of people being both physically and mentally healed with the use of music. The American Medical Association first mentioned music therapy in 1914 in a journal letter by a doctor who reported using a phonograph for “calming and distracting patients” during surgical procedures and several years later, the founder of the National Therapeutic Society predicted that “When the therapeutic value of music is understood and appreciated, it will be considered as necessary in the treatment of disease as air, water and food” (Campbell 122).
Musical Therapist, Lawrence Walters said that “Music very definitely produces measurable effects on the brain and mind. It is quite logical to maintain that when measurable results are produced on the brain, the mind is also in some way influenced” (Walters 36). Psychiatrists who have been using music to treat emotional disorders have also found additional benefits including having the ability of “relieving inner tensions and conflicts that give rise to the depressive mood”(Herman 115). Effects on Agnes DeWitt Agnes DeWitt’s strong love for music, for the piano, helped her to feel relief in moments of distress and unrest.
Her love for the Polish composer Chopin in particular was used to bring about this liberation in her. DeWitt’s character in the novel reveals that playing this instrument has significant effects on her. She is shown playing it so much that it brought about even a certain serenity and detachment from reality, even to the point of a sexual ecstasy. How can this all be achieved? It is unclear as to how this in particular can happen, but what is clear and even scientific that music does have a large impact on the body, affecting many of the major systems in our body.
DeWitt’s musical experience seemed to bring her into a realm of peace, serenity, and a sense of being “out of this world”. Erdrich explained her playing as though she was captivating, playing with the “utmost sincerity,” causing a sister listening nearby to even weep at the sound (Erdrich 14). The music that came from her playing seemed to become such a vital part throughout her life, it was possibly a means of separating herself from the anxiety she was experiencing while having to live two different people. Music seemed to have given her stability and consistency.
Also since DeWitt was constantly giving of herself to others; music seemed to be the one consistent love and obsession in her life that brought her contentment. Conclusion Music has been given to us as a great tool and instrument in our lives which can bring miraculous benefits to us. We have only just begun to truly understand its impact today. If we continue to learn from history, combining it with today’s understanding, we can then have a broader, and more improved perception to help people today and bridge the gap between the body, mind and spirit. I can relate to these experiences myself as a pianist.
I also find that when I feel overwhelmed and overtaken with the cares and concerns of life, I find much peace and serenity in listening to music and playing the piano. I found myself relating to Agnes throughout the book because of her strong love of this instrument. Having a chronic lung condition, there have been many times when I have turned to playing the piano as a comfort and strength to my mind and body. Without music we would simply have no art. It would be like looking at nature without any color. Agnes’s life story showed me a struggle of someone who desired the color in life.
Her life simply wouldn’t have been fulfilled without it. It seemed to be the one pleasure in her life that brought her happiness. For this reason I came away with the perspective that the piano was a positive element in her life that it seemed God wanted her to have. I was reminded of the story in the Bible where King Saul’s heart was tormented by an “evil spirit” and David would come to him and play the harp to sooth him and bring peace (NRSV 417). It is apparent to me that God has given us means of making melodies to bring us peace and serenity from things that may trouble us.
This is what DeWitt did and can be something we each do also. “And whenever the evil spirit from God came upon Saul, David took the lyre (harp) and played it with this hand, and Saul would be relieved and feel better, and the evil spirit would depart from him” (I Samuel 16:23) Works Cited Cook, Janet D. “The Therapeutic Use of Music: A Literature Review. ” Nursing Forum: An Independent Voice For Nursing (1981): 252-266.

Early on the morning of April 5, 2018, seven nuclear abolitionists were arrested inside the Kings Bay Naval Base in St. Mary’s, Georgia.
Kings Bay is the Atlantic homeport for six Trident nuclear ballistic missile submarines and also provides critical support services for the fleet of four British Trident nuclear missile submarines.
The seven Catholic activists entered the high-security base on the night of April 4, choosing to act on the 50th anniversary of the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who said, “The greatest purveyor of violence in the world (today) is my own government.” King has devoted his life to addressing the triple evils of militarism, racism, and materialism.
The intent of the Kings Bay Plowshares was to begin fulfilling the prophet Isaiah’s command to” beat swords into plowshares.” Carrying hammers and baby bottles of their own blood, the seven attempted to convert weapons of mass destruction. They marked areas with crime scene tape and hung banners reading: “The ultimate logic of racism is genocide, Dr. Martin Luther King”, “ The ultimate logic of tridents is omnicide” and “Nuclear weapons: Illegal – immoral.” They also brought an indictment of the U.S. government for crimes against peace, and, as part of their evidence, a copy of Daniel Ellsberg’s book The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner.
At the fence surrounding the nuclear weapons storage bunkers, military police arrested Elizabeth McAlister, 78, co-founder with her late husband Philip Berrigan of Jonah House in Baltimore, Fr. Steve Kelly, SJ, 69, from Oakland, California, and Carmen Trotta, 55, from the New York Catholic Worker. Arrested at the administration building were Clare Grady, 59, from the Ithaca Catholic Worker and Martha Hennessy, 62, from the New York Catholic Worker and granddaughter of Catholic Worker movement co-founder Dorothy Day . Mark Colville, 55, from Amistad Catholic Worker in New Haven, Connecticut and Patrick O’Neil, 61, from the Fr. Charlie Mullholland Catholic Worker in Garner, North Carolina, were arrested at the monument to the Trident D5 and other nuclear missiles.
The seven have been held without bond since their arrest. They were indicted on four counts: Conspiracy, Destruction of Property on a Naval Station, Depredation of Government Property, and Trespass on May 3, 2018. They will appear before a magistrate in Brunswick, GA on May 10. Attorney William P. Quigley, Professor of Law at Loyola University, New Orleans, LA, noted, “These peace activists acted in accordance with the 1996 declaration of the International Court of Justice that any threat or use of nuclear weapons is illegal.”
Clare Grady wrote from jail, “We say, ‘the ultimate logic of Trident is omnicide’, and yet, the explosive power of this weapon is only part of what we want to make visible. We see that nuclear weapons kill every day by their mere existence. We see the billions of dollars it takes to build and maintain the Trident system as stolen resources, which are desperately needed for human needs. In response to news of the indictment, Mark Colville, wrote from jail, “Once again the federal criminal justice system has plainly identified itself as another arm of the Pentagon by turning a blind eye to the criminal and murderous course from which it has repeatedly refused to desist for the past 70 years.” | <urn:uuid:cde453d4-702b-452f-924d-ffa66c433445> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.pressenza.com/2018/05/7-anti-nuke-activists-indicted-southern-district-georgia-federal-court/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.951318 | 746 | 1.78125 | 2 |

May 8 marks one of the most significant victories in the history of the Armenian nation. Shushi was liberated on this day 24 years ago.
During the Karabakh liberation war of early 1990s, Shushi became one of Azerbaijan’s main military strongholds in Nagorno-Karabakh. From this strategic location, the Azeri army would bombard Karabakh’s capital Stepanakert and adjacent Armenian villages.
The liberation of Shushi in May 1992, however, became a turning point.
About 3,800 volunteers participated in the operation of liberation of Shushi the night of May 8. The operation was led by Arkady Ter-Tadevosyan, Commander of the self-defense forces of Artsakh.
On May 8, a solemn ceremony of awarding for courage and bravery shown during the defense of the Artsakh state borders and Armenia, a group of servicemen, freedom-fighters and volunteers were given awards. The Primate of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan, Ashot Ghoulyan, defense minister Levon Mnatsakanyan and other officials took park in the event. The ceremony took place at President Sahakyan’s residence, where he delivered his message:
“On this festive day, we honor and bow our heads to our hero fathers and grandfathers who hand in hand with other peoples of the Soviet Union won the Great Patriotic War. We bow our heads to the brave sons of the Armenian nation who carved the victory in the Artsakh Liberation struggle defending the right of our people to live free and independent on their own soil.
Today we can proudly state about another great victory – our young generation, our modern heroes who continue their ancestors’ traditions with dignity, weaving new myths and legends in the battlefield. The selfless soldiers of the Defense Army stand firm in their positions and keep impregnable the Artsakh Republic borders.
All our victories are the triumphs of unity and consolidation around the idea of defending the Motherland facing danger.

Beijing, Feb 3 (EFE).- The International Olympic Committee can only fulfill its mission by ensuring the participation of all athletes in the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics if they overcome their political differences for the “politically neutral” games, IOC President Thomas Bach said on Thursday, a day before the event is set to be officially inaugurated.
The German lawyer-turned sports administrator – who insisted that the event should not become a “tool to achieve political goals” – was delivering the opening speech of the 139th session of the IOC, in the host city of Beijing, in the backdrop of the United States announcing a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics over the human rights situation in China.
“Today we can be happy and proud that apparently this message got through. All the athletes, who have been overcoming great uncertainties in this respect for so long, canmake their dream come true and compete at the Olympic Winter Games Beijing 2022,” Bach said.
The leader, who referred to the United Nations’ Olympic Truce Resolution – consensually adopted by all 193 members – stressed that “sport alones cannot create peace,” because words and olympic symbols are also important to “show us how the world can look like, if we all respect the same rules and each other.”
“The Olympic Games are this symbol of peace and unity, showing us the way to a better and more peaceful future,” Bach said.
The IOC chief called on “all political leaders around the world to observe their commitment to the Olympic Truce,” so that “these Olympic Winter Games can become this precious symbol.”
Bach highlighted that the Olympics, starting Friday, are set to be historical as Beijing would officially become the first city in history to host both summer and winter editions of Olympic Games.

A staggering $7,296 on average — that’s how much each American spent on insurance and pensions in 2018. On top of that is the average $3,405 spending on health insurance.
Health care expenses, after all, continue to be one of the biggest financial burdens in the US. In 2018, for instance, people in the country spent a collective $3.65 trillion on health care services.
The good news is, the different types of health insurance can help offset some of these health care costs. Their premiums, deductibles, and co-pays are still lower than uninsured health care costs.
So, what are your options when it comes to health insurance plans? Is this type of insurance even mandatory?
We’ll get to the bottom of these questions below, so be sure to keep reading!
Affordable Care Act
Also known as Obamacare or ACA, the Affordable Care Act used to be the mandatory health insurance plan in the US. Today, it’s no longer required at the federal level. There are, however, a few states like California, where it still is.
The original goal of ACA was to make it easier for uninsured Americans to get coverage. In 2018, 8.5% of the population, or 27.5 million folks, had no insurance.
Although the Open Enrollment is now closed for 2020, you may still qualify for ACA. One such instance is if you lost another type of health coverage. You may also qualify if you’re about to get married or give birth.
Be sure to check your qualifications, as the ACA is one of the lowest-cost health plans out there. Researchers say that from 2010 to 2017, it has helped lower health care costs by $2.3 trillion.
Health Maintenance Organization (HMO)
An HMO plan is one of the private types of health insurance plans. It’s a network-based type of medical insurance. Many of the 67.3% of Americans with private insurance use an HMO.
An HMO plan provides coverage for most healthcare services, including hospitalizations. However, you need to see physicians or go to health facilities that are part of the network to get coverage.
Although HMOs have large networks, they don’t extend to all physicians. Meaning, your current doctor may not be part of the HMO network. As such, you would need to use your own money if you continue to see your out-of-network doctor.
If you need to see a specialist, the specialist must also be part of the HMO’s network. Moreover, your primary care doctor needs to give you a referral for the specialist first.
An HMO may give you the least freedom when it comes to choosing doctors. However, it also usually has the least number of paperwork that you need to sift through. Moreover, some HMOs offer cheaper health insurance in the form of short-term coverage.
Be sure to check with your employer as well, as you may already be getting some form of HMO coverage. After all, about half of all insured US adults get their coverage from their employers. If you do have this, you can save money by supplementing only with the coverage you lack.
Preferred Provider Organization (PPO)
A PPO health plan works much like an HMO, as it is also a network-based policy. It does, however, offer more freedom than an HMO, as you can go straight to a specialist without a referral. You can also see doctors that aren’t within the PPO’s network, although you’d still pay part of the cost.
Point-of-Service Plan (POS)
A POS plan has attributes similar to both HMO and PPO health policies.
Like an HMO plan, for instance, you may need to delegate an in-network Primary Care Physician (PCP). You also need to get a referral from your PCP before seeing a specialist so that you can get full coverage. You do have the option to see a specialist without a referral, but prepare to pay more.
Similar to PPO, a POS plan lets you see an out-of-network doctor and still get some level of coverage. You can also opt for an out-of-network specialist, but you may not get the same level of coverage. In both cases, you may also have to pay a deductible first before your POS coverage kicks in.
Exclusive Provider Organization (EPO)
An EPO plan is a type of group health insurance coverage. They’re like HMOs in the sense that you need to see in-network healthcare providers. The EPO would also appoint a specific PCP who you need to see for referrals.
Keep in mind that EPO plans don’t provide any coverage for out-of-network activities. Meaning, if you see a doctor who’s not part of the EPO network, you will shoulder the entire bill. The only exception is in the case of an emergency.
Fee-for-Service Health Plans
These are also known as indemnity health plans. They come with pre-determined percentages of costs that the insurer will cover. However, you’d need to pay for the entire bill first and then file a claim to get the reimbursement.
Let’s say that your indemnity plan covers 50% of your healthcare services. You then incurred, say $500, on covered services.
You need to foot the entire $500 first using your own money. You then file a claim with your insurer, who should reimburse you for $250.
Compare the Types of Health Insurance Now to Find the Best One for Your Needs
There you have it, your top options when it comes to the different types of health insurance. Now that you know more about them, you can make a more educated choice.
What’s important is to first check if you already have employer-provided coverage. This way, you’ll know how much more coverage you’d need to fill in the gap. This will also help you save money by not purchasing more than the insurance that you need.

“The French President is attempting to improve his hopeless situation with right-wing populist rhetoric,” Green party chairwoman Claudia Roth told the Hamburger Abendblatt on Saturday.
Critics say the proposal to radically reform the Schengen agreement – which abolished frontier controls in 1995 – would be a retrograde step for Europe. Under the agreement immigrants to Europe are allowed to move freely between states once inside the Schengen area without having to show identification.
“A Europe without border installations and tollgates was the dream of all those who began the European unification process,” German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told Focus magazine on Saturday. “We can’t jeopardize that now and especially not for small, tactical electoral gains.”
In a joint letter sent this week to the European Union’s Danish chair, French and German Interior Ministers Claude Guéant and Hans-Peter Friedrich said that where governments within the area fail to meet obligations to manage external frontiers partners should have “the possibility, as a last resort, to reintroduce internal frontiers for a period not greater than 30 days.”
Head of the German police union GdP told the Hamburger Abendblatt on Saturday he doubts this would be workable, as after the Schengen agreement came into force a large number of Germany’s 10,000 border officials were deployed elsewhere.
But the proposal probably won’t get that far as it seems unlikely that it will find support on a European level.
President of the EU Parliament Martin Schluz has rejected the idea, which would see member states clawing back some control over their own borders.
“The community law of the union can’t be annulled by a bilateral announcement of two Interior Ministers,” he told the Passauer Neuen Presse on Saturday.
Schultz told the paper the “strange” proposal would not find majority support in the EU Council or in the EU Parliament. | <urn:uuid:513098eb-5885-4133-94c8-26499c908499> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.thelocal.com/20120421/42087/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.948541 | 423 | 1.65625 | 2 |

Caring about the students is what inspires teachers to reach out, do better, communicate more, ask, learn, refine, and improve. This took the form of a contract.

Doing that is not as easy as one might think. This carved out important room for certain individual rights or liberties. Locke thinks that the human mind is incredibly active; it is constantly performing what he calls operations. I can't stress that last point enough: Specifically, Locke thinks that we want to communicate about our ideas, the contents of our minds.
This prevalent aspect of school-based mentoring programs presents special challenges that are further exacerbated when mentor teachers receive no or inadequate training and only token support for their work. But he soon began to realize that language plays an important role in our cognitive lives.
As Carl Rogers pointed out, empathy means accepting another person without making judgments. Most of these focus on the crucial role seemingly played by memory. Good mentor teachers recognize that each mentoring relationship occurs in a unique, interpersonal context.
It’s the question of the year: What makes a great teacher? Here’s one effort to sort out the qualities that all great teachers have.

Following suggestions and recommendations as well as reading all pertinent literature available in the field is a good way to show your mentor that you are committed to being successful and that you take your career and responsibilities seriously.
A teacher requires a number of personal as well as professional qualities. To become an effective teacher the teacher has to gain some personal qualities. If a teacher is lazy and lacks enthusiasm and lie will to do hard work, he cannot be expected to inculcate these values in pupils.

The Coquitlam Farmers Market is excited to once again host a community dinner, For the Love of Local Food, to celebrate the local farming community, the seasonality of local food, and the social benefits of sharing the harvest around a dinner table with family, neighbours, and friends.
The purpose of the dinner is to raise awareness of the social, economic, and environmental importance of eating local and supporting local producers; and to come together as a community to share a meal enjoying the beautiful harvest of BC.
Saturday October 16th , 2010
6:00 – 9:00 pm
Club Ilia Restaurant, Simon Fraser University
To create this delectable dinner, Coquitlam Farmers Market has partnered with local chef and restaurateur, Fred Soofi, who will create a stunning buffet dinner using all local products from the Coquitlam Farmers Market. As a means of inspiring action, the dinner will also feature presentations from community members and youth leaders around the region.
These presentations will showcase innovative projects and initiatives, such as school garden projects, youth-led “green” clubs, and examples of community supported agriculture. This cross generational view will highlight how inspired community members can cultivate innovative programs to increase education on local food issues, and incorporate them into their everyday lives, workplaces, and institutions.
As our cities become more populated, there is a greater need for re-connection to the sources of our food and with each other. The community dinner will highlight the importance of building a resilient community through enhancing local food systems, sharing of food knowledge by developing a more localized food culture between generations and among the diverse ethnic groups that comprise our communities, and learning through innovative practice that small actions can make meaningful change to how we access, experience, and share food that is fresh, healthy and local.
The presentation of local initiatives hopes to inspire young people and those within positions of leadership to explore more ways to build capacity and community around local food.

What to do with your old Christmas tree
Every year, we buy on average eight million Christmas trees in the UK, although this year it’s predicted to be as many as 10 million, reported the BBC. Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without a tree to decorate but come January, when the tinsel comes down and the lights go off, many trees are left on our streets and they eventually end up in landfill.
It not only costs money to pick up and dispose of all these trees, it costs carbon points too; decomposing trees in landfill release harmful carbon dioxide into the atmosphere with each 2-metre tree generating around 16kg of carbon dioxide.
Rather than add to the problem, here are some eco-friendly ways to recycle your tree (whether real or fake) when Christmas is over.
1. REPOT YOUR TREE
This is a great option if you want to keep the same tree for years. It’ll save you money in the long-run too. It’s best to buy a pot-grown or container-grown tree because they last much longer, kept in a pot in the garden until next Christmas rolls round. You can also plant your tree straight into the ground so check with the tree seller what your tree would best withstand. Here are a few pointers to help your tree survive:
- Over Christmas, keep the tree away from radiators and fireplaces, keep it watered and replant it outside as soon as possible after Christmas is over (no more than 10 days inside).
- Make sure you acclimatise your tree to the cold outdoors by leaving it in a cooler sheltered area first for a few days, like a shed or garage.
- Dig a hole on a mild day when the ground isn’t frozen. The hole should be at least twice wider than the root ball of the tree.
- Plant the tree and fill it back up with the soil and a good layer of mulch, and plenty of water.
2. TURN YOUR TREE INTO A BIRD FEEDER
Leave your tree out in the garden and hang fresh citrus slices, strung popcorn, and bird feed from the branches to attract the birds. They can use the tree to sit in the branches. Once the tree has dried out, break it down and turn it into mulch or dispose of it in the compost or your city’s garden waste collection.
3. COMPOST OR MULCH
Wood, as it decays, is a useful source of food for many living things so chopping it up to decompose in your garden is also a good idea. Turn it into mulch to spread around trees and shrubs or add some to your compost heap. Note: the needles take longer to break down so don’t include too many of them.
4. REFUGE FOR WILDLIFE
Chop up your tree and the branches into pieces and stack them in a bundle, tie them together and leave it in your garden for wildlife to use as a refuge.
5. RECYCLE YOUR TREE VIA YOUR LOCAL COUNCIL
Local councils arrange drop-off and collection points in early January. The trees are then shredded into chippings to use in parks or woodland areas. Remember to remove any tinsel and decorations, pots and decorations. Find out where and when your local collection is online. | <urn:uuid:10987d2b-c3b0-437a-92dd-8f3cfaa2ef39> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.oddbox.co.uk/blog/what-to-do-with-your-old-christmas-tree | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.936145 | 701 | 2.859375 | 3 |
Healthy Pastured Pork
In this section you will note that I have put quotations around the term “pastured pork.” This is because this term is usually used as a euphemism – not many farmers actually allow their pigs to live outside on pasture, but it sounds good! In actuality, the pigs are usually fed GMO grain. While the pigs may be outdoors, it is usually in a feedlot-type operation. They are not healthy, nor are they healthy for you.
In my quest to find the best breed of pig and the right methodology for raising pastured pork I visited numerous farms and drove over 5,000 miles.
In Pennsylvania I found two doctors, a husband/wife team who raise pigs that are a cross of three heritage breeds (Old Berkshire, Old Duroc and Kune Kune), not a breed that a confinement operator raises.Their animals graze on pasture for most of their nutrition. My first impression of their farm with 46 sows (breeding females) out on pasture, grazing like small cows, was that there was no odor.
The first question I ask when I visit a “pastured pork” operation is how many pounds of grain do they feed per pig per day. The aforementioned doctors were quick to answer “one pound per day”.
Most operators do not know the amount of feed they use on a daily basis; they just fill a hopper and the pigs have free access to the feed all the time. When pushed for a number, they usually say 6-10 pounds per pig per day. When a pig is given a choice between grazing for its food or “hogging” it down at a feed trough, it will pick feed trough – complete with GMO grains and antibiotics. Our pigs are fed 2 pounds of non-GMO grain per day and no antibiotics or growth hormones.
Most “pastured pork” operations have created an outdoor feedlot. The pigs do not get their calories from a pasture to any significant extent; they basically live in a mud lot and eat GMO grain. The concept of pasture rotation is not often found and the implementation even less.
Here at Abundant Green Pastures Ranch our pigs are raised in a healthy and holistic manner.
My pigs get 80% of their calories from pasture and 20% from non-GMO grain. Industry standard is 8-10 pounds of GMO grain per day in confinement and on antibiotics. Each of our sows, when farrowing (having babies) have their own pastured paddock, water supply and farrowing hut. Each paddock with a sow and her babies has an automated feeder programmed to provide one pound of feed per pig in the morning and one pound per pig in the afternoon. We use no antibiotics – there is no need for them.
The second question I ask of the farmers I visit is how many sows they have of their own.
One thing I have learned in my extensive research on beef cattle was the importance of genetics, and the same applies to pigs.
How many sows a pastured pork producer has tells me a lot about his genetics. Most so called “pastured pork” operations purchase feeder pigs from a farmer who uses confinement methods and the purchaser of the baby pigs has no control over:
What the mother ate during, before and after her pregnancy and while she was nursing
What type of food the piglets were given prior to sale to the “pastured pig” operator
What the genetic makeup is of both the boar (father) and sow (mother) pig
What type of conditions they were raised in
What antibiotics were given to the boar, sow and piglets, either through injection or in the food
How old they were when they were weaned
Anything else done to them prior to the sale to the so called “pastured pig” operator
As with my cattle, I raise a closed herd (no outside genetics are brought in) of pigs. They too have been carefully selected to flourish by rooting on pasture and tree nuts. We know exactly how much non-GMO grain they are being fed per day by using a calibrated feeding system. Unlike the typical “pastured pork” operation, my pigs are raised on the ranch from birth so I have 100% control over every aspect of their lives. This necessitates the need to castrate the male pigs at about four weeks of age to eliminate “boar taint” in the meat. We have developed a unique trailer to assist in this task in which the baby pigs have access to feed but the larger pigs do not. When the babies are inside eating, we close the door to prevent their escape and set about our task. Needless to say, the females get a pass! Within the confines of the trailer the piglets are easy to catch and do not get upset. We have an operating table and iodine for incisions. A hood is placed over their head and front legs to both constrain them and calm them. The whole procedure takes about 60 seconds from the time caught to release and they run off like nothing happened. Now they graze with their litter mates and we do not have off taste in the males’ meat or unplanned pregnancies. | <urn:uuid:28e618d8-91ab-402c-96df-ac8de1231404> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.abundantgreenpastures.com/copy-of-our-healthy-pastured-pork | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573876.92/warc/CC-MAIN-20220820012448-20220820042448-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.972339 | 1,096 | 2.328125 | 2 |
A Chiropractor treats people with musculoskeletal system. That means that the doctor will work with your bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments. Through spinal manipulation and other techniques like ultrasound and heat and ice, pain in the back or neck and other ailments can be relieved or lessened. While patients may need to be on an exam table during an appointment, they remain fully clothed as a general rule. Sometimes people go for chiropractic appointments on a regular basis for an "adjustment" that may keep the pain from reoccurring. These appointments can be as little as five minutes long. Insurance will cover some chiropractic care, but there is usually a ceiling of how many times you can go before the benefit is exhausted per calendar year. Others just go when they have pain for a one time or limited amount of visits until they heal and feel better. A strong client base is built by having all sorts of clients and by having a good reputation.
If this career interests you, then the first step is to learn about the training and licensing that is needed to open a practice. In order to be a chiropractor, you must earn a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. A DC is the abbreviation since it is a different study than a medical doctor, an MD. A license from the state that you will practice in is also needed. Check with the state board of chiropractic examiners or the board of health to understand what you need to do for any exams and licensing.
n order to be accepted to most chiropractor schools you will need to have completed three years of college. The training takes four years to complete. A background in liberal arts and physics, chemistry and biology is helpful and some prerequisites may exist before being accepted into a program. Some people have bachelor degrees or even master degrees in areas like nutrition or sports medicine, but neither is required. Courses are taken during the first two years of the program and then there is a supervised clinical portion of the training. Once finished school, some new DCs will specialize in fields like chiropractic radiation or pediatrics. Make sure before you begin a program it is an accredited one. The Council of Chiropractic Education has only accredited fifteen chiropractic schools to date, so getting the list shouldn't be that difficult.
After you complete all the training and you are ready to hang your shingle out, how much can you expect to make from your new practice? A chiropractor salary can average about eighty-five thousand dollars, but it may depend on how many hours you work and if you are self-employed. The chiropractor salary can be different if you have another specialty like sports medicine, if you are affiliated with other doctors or even a hospital. Of course, the more experience you have and the bigger the practice, you may expect to earn more. If you are interested in this profession, this could be a good time to train. This field is expected to grow faster than others in the next decade
Becoming a chiropractor can take about four years after your undergraduate studies. The studies are similar to a medical doctor in that physics, chemistry and anatomy are required subjects, but the medical doctor degree requires different training and specialty. With a rapid growth rate expected in the field in the next decade, it may be a perfect time to search the Internet for training programs and to get started, unless your neck is sore from the computer work, then wait until tomorrow. | <urn:uuid:d5d024a4-48f5-42cf-b168-5da20a95e2fc> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.smartguy.com/article/how-you-can-become-a-chiropractor | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.964853 | 705 | 2.40625 | 2 |
A Look at Kentucky Gubernatorial Candidate Comer’s Climate Change Remarks and Agriculture
Kentucky’s Republican gubernatorial candidates disagree specifically on what evidence proves that, according to them, climate change isn’t happening or influenced by human activity. During a debate on CN2 last month, candidates Will T. Scott and Hal Heiner prefaced their statements with “I’m not a scientist, but…” and Matt Bevin called climate science “fluff and theory.” But Agriculture Commissioner James Comer offered the most specific example.
“I do not believe in global warming. I’m the one person whose business and livelihood depends on Mother Nature, so I understand weather patterns,” he said, citing his farming experience. “We’ve had a very severe winter this year with 12-inch snows, so there is no global warming.”
Putting aside the science behind climate change, and the fact that nearly all climate scientists agree both that it’s happening and is influenced by human activity, it was a severe winter this year. Louisville got 27 inches of snow, which is 15 more inches than usual. But there are some key differences between weather and climate, especially as pertains to agriculture, and these nuances are missing in Comer’s remarks.
“Climate determines where we grow crops, weather determines how much we grow,” Jerry Hatfield said. He’s the director of the National Lab for Agriculture and the Environment, which is run by USDA.
He said the climate is definitely changing. One of the manifestations of that changing climate is weird weather patterns.
“If climate just changed in a very linear progression, say it was getting a little wetter, getting a little warmer. We could easily adapt to that,” Hatfield said. “We could shift planting patterns, we could change a number of different things.”
But over the past few years, farmers have begun having problems with climate variability. The weather will change drastically in a growing season, ping-ponging between extreme heat and cold.
“This variability, this oscillation that goes back and forth between one season and the next or between the beginning and the end of the growing season, is really what wreaks havoc,” Hatfield said.
Recently, Midwestern farmers have experienced more rainfall, and rather than coming in the summer as is typical, it comes in the spring. This means it’s harder to get crops planted, and some run the risk of being flooded out. The summers are drier, and crops die under drought conditions. And farmers are also seeing more diseases and pests.
Hatfield said over the past century, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2014 have experienced the most variable weather. And one of the challenges for agriculture under various climate change scenarios will be figuring out how to best adapt crops to these wild weather mood swings. | <urn:uuid:fd984415-ee28-453a-aa4d-8bed7f9f827c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.wkyufm.org/environment/2015-05-11/a-look-at-kentucky-gubernatorial-candidate-comers-climate-change-remarks-and-agriculture | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.951297 | 609 | 1.8125 | 2 |
A three-judge panel at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled unanimously on June 9, 2015, to uphold the constitutionality of Texas’ pro-life law, House Bill 2, as applied almost entirely across the Lone Star State. InWhole Woman’s Health v. Lakey, three abortion providers and three abortion doctors challenged the 2013 bill passed overwhelmingly by the Texas Legislature and signed into law by then-Governor Rick Perry.
The Court said abortion clinics failed to prove that the restrictions would unduly burden a "large fraction" of Texas women. Of the three legal challenges to House Bill 2, the Court upheld one across the state and two everywhere, except in McAllen.
The court upheld the requirement that drug-induced abortions be performed according to FDA regulations in the presence of a physician. Second, the court upheld the requirement that abortion facilities meet the same safety standards as the state’s more than 450 ambulatory surgical centers. Finally, the court upheld the rule requiring abortion doctors to have admitting privileges at local hospitals.
However, the Court created an exception to the second and third requirements for the Whole Woman’s Health abortion facility in McAllen. The exception for McAllen is related to the distance women in the Rio Grande Valley would have to travel for an abortion, if this facility closed. The nearest abortion provider is located in San Antonio, approximately 235 miles away. The Court deemed this distance placed “ a substantial obstacle in the path of a woman seeking an abortion."
Of the 19 abortion facilities operating in Texas at the time of the Court’s ruling, only seven meet the safety standards of House Bill 2. They are located in Austin, Dallas (2), Fort Worth, Houston (2), and San Antonio. Abortion providers plan to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court, which is unlikely to take the case. The High Court has never ruled on the constitutionality of comprehensive health and safety standards for abortion facilities. | <urn:uuid:f8326dc5-1dde-4102-b16c-0a9d736ce17e> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://txcatholic.org/federal-appeals-court-upholds-pro-life-house-bill-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.954076 | 402 | 1.59375 | 2 |
If you are looking for CFA classes in Dubai, here are some best ways to prepare for the CFA exam. The first tip is to approach the problem holistically. Make a weekly plan and stick to it. Also, understand the concepts of the learning curve and forgetting curve. These will help you to remember the information better. Another great idea is to read the books and study the questions as many times as necessary. If you can look for the test without cramming, you’ll have a much easier time on the day of the exam.
Make a habit of taking short breaks to reset:
The CFA exam is tricky and requires you to sift through vast amounts of information. This can make you feel overwhelmed and need a moment to refresh. Try taking a break every half an hour, as this will help you clear your head and focus on the central issues.
Start studying at least six months before the exam date:
Nest, start studying at least six months before the exam date. It’s a good idea to do your level one and level two preparations at least a month before the test.
Don’t let the curriculum overwhelm you:
An excellent way to prepare for the CFA exam is to use third-party study material. There are a variety of third-party CFA study materials available, and you can use these materials to supplement your material. These books typically contain practice questions and help you prepare for Level 1 and Level 2. You can also buy the CFA study guide from the exam center, which will give you more practice questions.
Using a prep course will help you maximize your time:
The CFA Institute recommends studying for 285 hours to pass the exam. Taking a prep course will help you avoid distracting factors and waste your study time. In addition to looking, you must make sure you get enough sleep. A good night’s sleep is essential. Many CFA candidates are more likely to remember a topic when well-rested.
Doing practice questions is a great way to memorize the material:
It will help you with Level 1 and Level 2 preparations, as well as the entire CFA syllabus. You’ll get a feel for the topics and use them for the exam by doing practice questions. You can also do a bit of research on your own. This way, you’ll be able to see how your study style is affecting your test score. | <urn:uuid:23d97b50-38b8-4cf9-a2f7-fabf846a1c65> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.seasidecoffeeroasters.com/general/simple-ways-for-cfa-preparation/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.946466 | 501 | 1.96875 | 2 |
A summer camp lesson in judging others stands test of time
The older I get the more I think about my youth.
Things I should have done differently.
Things I should have said. Or not said.
Girls I should have kissed. Or not kissed.
Opportunities I missed. Or just screwed up.
Being bull-headed. When I should have been flexible.
Times I should have spent with my children. Instead of working.
Public stands I should have taken against prejudice, injustice and wrongs. Instead of clinging to my convenient silence.
Apologies I should make. But, even at my age, I am not strong enough to approach these long-ago matters.
You know. All those times we wish we could go back and do some things again. This time the right way.
When I was a little boy, kindergarten little, I went to a local day camp during the summer. I would attend in the mornings four days a week and all day on Thursdays.
Day camp was fun. Except I did not like putting on my bathing suit. Because the boys had a tent on the lawn where we would have to change. The tent’s flap was tied back to make it easy to enter. I was scared that one of the girls might run by and see me without my pants on. That would be really awful.
We swam in an outdoor pool. Although tiny now, it was huge to me then. I learned to put my face in the water. To kick and make splashes. To jump into the deep end that today would not come up to my waist.
We went on hikes. To the back of the yard.
There was a garden. It had a few vegetables, onions, tomatoes, and maybe a raspberry bush or two. Someone else took care of it. We were able to see how things grow.
There was a small woods. It was dark. I thought there were bears and maybe tigers. I was afraid to go into it.
We played on the jungle gym and the swings and the see-saw.
I loved day camp.
And I liked this little blond girl. Of course, no one knew it except me. I was like Charlie Brown who liked this little red-haired girl. It was my secret. I did not tell anyone including my grandmother to whom I told almost everything.
I wanted to play with this little blond girl, but she was not in my group, because she was a girl and my group was all boys. So all I could do was hope to see her as we played. If she had talked to me, I probably would have been tongue-tied anyway. You may recall how you were as a child.
Then one Thursday the whistle blew to tell us it was time to leave for the day. I found my towel and shoes and socks. And I started to walk from the pool to the house where I would be picked up to be taken home.
And, all of a sudden, the little blond girl walked up beside me.
“Do you like me?”
Well, yeah. I remember being really embarrassed. This was the first time I had ever talked with her. She was pretty. She had really long blond hair. She was smiling. And she could talk. To me.
“I was in the garden. And I ate some onions.”
So now we are walking side by side. This little blond girl and me. I don’t recall, but I was probably smiling too. I do recall being very nervous and tripping over my feet.
After a few steps more she grabbed my arm, pulled me closer to her, and blew her onion breath in my face.
She then let go of my arm, started laughing and asked, “Do you still like me now?”
I mumbled “yes, I guess so.” But inside I wasn’t so sure.
She ran ahead of me.
I did not understand.
The next day, I saw the little blond girl. She wasn’t as pretty as she seemed before. Her hair was wet. And I did not think she was very nice anymore.
It took a while. I worried about how she knew that I liked her. Or maybe she just made it up. Or why she would blow her onion breath into my face. Or what I had done to make her want to do such a thing. I thought I had done something bad.
This incident has stuck with me for nearly 70 years. Maybe because it eventually illuminated something within myself and my relationship with others.
Over the years I learned to judge others not by how they look or how I think they might act. Rather I learned to judge others on what they do. Their kindness toward others, not their use or abuse of those around them.
I also learned that onion breath does not make for a romantic relationship at any age.

Transactive response DNA binding protein (TDP-43) is a key player in neurodegenerative diseases. In this review, we have gathered and presented structural information on the different regions of TDP-43 with high resolution structures available. A thorough understanding of TDP-43 structure, effect of modifications, aggregation and sites of localization is necessary as we develop therapeutic strategies targeting TDP-43 for neurodegenerative diseases. We discuss how different domains as well as post-translational modification may influence TDP-43 overall structure, aggregation and droplet formation. The primary aim of the review is to utilize structural insights as we develop an understanding of the deleterious behavior of TDP-43 and highlight locations of established and proposed post-translation modifications. TDP-43 structure and effect on localization is paralleled by many RNA-binding proteins and this review serves as an example of how structure may be modulated by numerous compounding elements.
- RRM domain
- TDP-43 = TAR DNA–binding protein 43
- post-translational modification

Fact vs. Myth
MYTH: Using animals for medical research is not necessary.
FACT: Animal research has saved lives, extended our life expectancy, and improved the quality of our lives by giving doctors the means to develop ways to prevent, treat, and cure disease. Virtually every major medical advance in this century has been dependent upon animal research and it remains critical to unlocking the cure for many diseases still claiming the lives of millions, including AIDS, cancer, Alzheimer’s, sickle cell anemia, and multiple sclerosis.
MYTH: The use of animals for research purposes is inhumane.
FACT: Human beings, unlike animals, have free will and the ability to reason. These characteristics are central to another key trait which is moral awareness. Our moral awareness demands that we seek the cures for diseases and solutions to our medical mysteries. Out of our moral awareness also comes the idea of animal welfare, which dictates that humans have a responsibility to treat animals humanely and compassionately. This is a responsibility which researchers take very seriously.
MYTH: Much of the research done with animals is not necessary.
FACT: Because of economic pressures there are limited funds available for studying the wide range of human health problems. Funding agencies must restrict support to research that leads to a greater under-standing of the human body, and the cause, cure, and prevention of disease. This helps to reduce the waste of research resources and minimize the possibility that laboratory animals will be used for trivial purposes.
MYTH: There are alternative research methods that can replace the use of animals.
FACT: Scientists have developed many valuable non-animal research models which are useful in some types of research. These models are often used to supplement work with live animals. These methods, however, cannot completely mirror the complicated processes that occur in the living animal and for that reason cannot be used in the vast majority of research.
MYTH: Too many animals are used for research.
FACT: It is not economically practical to over use animals for research purposes because they are expensive to acquire and care for. As medical advances are made, some areas of study may decrease or totally eliminate animal use. However, as new avenues of research are pursued, there may also be an increased need for the use of animals in certain areas.
MYTH: Product safety testing on animals is not necessary.
FACT: To protect consumers, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires extensive safety testing of all cosmetic, toiletry, and fragance products, prior to their marketing in this country. Manufacturing must substantiate the safety not only of finished products, but also of every ingredient the products contain. The only way to obtain this information is through testing on animals. Some companies have promoted cosmetic products as “non-animal tested.” Generally, this means that the company has purchased a product formulation from a supplier who has previously conducted safety testing on animals, or the ingredients have already been tested in standard formulations. Therefore, while the final distributor can accurately state that it did not test its products on animals, the safety of those products was determined on the basis of earlier animal testing.
MYTH: The animals primarily used in research are dogs and cats.
FACT: Approximately 90 percent of animals used in research are rats, mice, and other rodents, due to their short life span, ease of breeding, and similarity to human biology. Dogs and cats, as well as monkeys and other nonhuman primates, represent less than one percent of all research animals. They are, however, an important one percent. Dogs are essential for studying the cardiovascular system; cats are vital to certain studies of vision, hearing, and brain function; and nonhuman primates are valuable in the areas of atherosclerosis, reproductive problems, and certain diseases of the brain like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease.
MYTH: Laboratory animals suffer great pain and distress.
FACT: Most biomedical research does not result in pain or significant distress to the animals. In 58 percent of all animal research, the animals are not subjected to any pain. In 35 percent of animal research, the animals may have some pain or discomfort and are given pain-killing medication or anesthetics. In the remaining 7 percent of experiments, the animals experience pain, usually because the experiment is studying pain or because anesthesia would interfere with the test results.
MYTH: The humane treatment of laboratory animals is not regulated.
FACT: The Animal Welfare Act is a federal law that sets forth stringent stand-ards for all aspects of experimentation and care involving laboratory animals. In addition, the U.S. Public Health Service requires adherence to its Animal Welfare Policy by all institutions receiving research grants from the National Institutes of Health. Under the terms of this policy, institutions must follow the detailed recommendations on animal care and treatment contained in a book entitled Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratoy Animals. The policy also mandates that each research facility have an institution animal care and use committee, including an outside member of the public and a veterinarian, which is charged with overseeing the treatment of the animals.The department of Agriculture also makes surprise inspections of all reaerch facilities at least once a year.
MYTH: Researchers are indifferent to the well-being of their animal subjects.
FACT: Scientists have chosen their profession to try and end disease and suffering – not cause it. Humane animal care is a basic necessity in medical research, not only for ethical reasons, but because scientists cannot obtain valid results from mis-treated animals. In the rare cases where actual abuses have occurred, the Public Health Service has taken a variety of corrective actions.
MYTH: The “rights” of animals are protected by animal rights groups.
FACT: The animal rights movement claims that animals and human beings have the same fundamental rights and that it is wrong to use animals in any kind of testing. Some animal rights activists have resorted to hate and scare campaigns, laboratory break-ins, theft, vandalism, and the destruction of equipment and data. Death threats have been issued, medical researchers attacked, and millions of dollars in damage done to our nation’s research facilities. These acts often halt or delay critical research in life-threatening diseases and increase the cost of medical research. This in turn discourages researchers from continuing or even beginning their work. Not only is this detrimental to the health of humans, it also affects research to aid in the well-being of animals. | <urn:uuid:c50b55ab-5ea0-4dc1-8c7c-962466544b51> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://mismr.org/facts-myths-about-animal-research/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.952331 | 1,320 | 2.828125 | 3 |
Intel apparently has been persuaded to again test the air in Corrales neighborhoods for traces of its industrial chemical emissions. Discussions about capturing “grab samples” near the home of a Corrales member of Intel’s Community Environmental Working Group (CEWG), Dennis O’Mara, have been ongoing for more than a year; the proposed air sampling is unrelated to the microchip manufacturer’s announcement earlier this month that it will expand production in the factories above Corrales.
O’Mara, a retired specialist for the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), continues to report that he smells, and is affected by, chemicals he thinks originate at the Intel facilities more than a half-mile away. He began smelling those suspicious odors more than seven years ago, perhaps because Intel finally raised its emissions stacks to disperse waste chemicals more widely.
Before the stacks were raised to an appropriate height in 2011, residents’ complaints were almost entirely concentrated in down-slope homes immediately below Intel, especially the Windover and Pueblo los Cerros areas. Those complaints have dropped off sharply in recent years.
At the April 2021 CEWG meeting, held online, members discussed developing an air testing protocol, focusing on a proposal by CEWG member Mike Williams, an air pollution specialist with New Mexico Citizens for Clean Air and Water. Minutes from the September 2020 CEWG meeting said O’Mara, who lives along Tierra Encantada, reported “he had experienced several more odor incidents over the last month. The most recent was this past Sunday night. His swamp cooler was off, but the windows were cracked open.
“The odor hit about 1:30 a.m. and proceeded to worsen. Around 2:30 a.m. he experienced the burning sensation in his nose, throat and lungs. He said it smelled like someone had ‘scorched the bottom of their pound cake.’ a sweet smell that was hard to describe and was abnormal. He said he did not venture outside to further investigate.”
At the same meeting last summer, CEWG chairman John Bartlit, a founder of New Mexico Citizens for Clean Air and Water, told of published list of 650 industrial chemicals and associated odors compiled by the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR).
Last summer O’Mara said he would consider surveying other residents in his neighborhood to learn whether they, too, were bothered by night time fumes. At the April CEWG meeting, he suggested placing the air sample cannisters in three different locations at the same time to improve chances a reported odor would be captured.
Intel’s representative on the working group, Alex Lowry, tentatively agreed that his firm would pay the estimated $300 to place each cannister. That cost was thought to include analysis of the grabbed air sample. Minutes from that meeting noted that Lowry “suggested wherever the first cannister was open to collect the sample, that’s what they would send in for analysis, unless they wanted to organize opening all three at the same time.”
The minutes continued, “John Bartlit said he would start with three cannisters for Dennis O’Mara to distribute to neighbors. He said he would think about how to deal with three samples, and how to proceed after they were collected. “Dennis O’Mara said another option was to locate the cannisters in three different locations, or in one place, to grab three samples during an episode, one taken indoors and two samples taken outdoors.
“John Bartlit said that method would improve data quality but reduce the likelihood of getting data. It was a trade-off.” O’Mara cautioned there is no clear rationale for deciding when and where to test, even after the suspect odor is detected. “They did not have a way of predicting when it was appropriate to use the grab sampling. The middle of summer was when he and some of his neighbors had experienced the most toxic fumes,” according to the meeting minutes.
O’Mara began reporting breathing fumes he associated with Intel more than eight years ago. He lives far from the neighborhoods nearest the factories that experienced such intense exposures decades ago. Conditions for near-neighbors subsided markedly once Intel erected tall “smoke stacks” that dissipated emissions and sent them farther away. (See Corrales Comment series on Radian Corporation’s risk assessment beginning with Vol.XVI, No. 23, January 24, 1998 and especially Part 4, Vol.XVII, No.3, March 21, 1998 “Air Pollution Study Seems to Suggest Intel’s Emissions Stacks Are Too Low”)
Years ago, air quality monitoring and sampling was conducted in and around the Pueblo los Cerros condos by Corrales Residents for Clean Air and Water which purchased a sophisticated Fourier transform infrared device. The equipment was later transferred to an environmental group monitoring emissions from Intel facilities in Oregon.
At the August, 2020 CEWG meeting, Williams said a less sophisticated method was to grab air samples in cannisters which could be sent to a lab for analysis. That method, too, was deployed in Corrales decades ago by Southwest Organizing Project.
O’Mara asked whether a swamp cooler could concentrate emissions in the air that might be drawn into a home. Williams replied the cooler would not concentrate fumes, but might change their form. If material came in as a gas, he explained, moisture in the cooler could change it to particles, such as a fine mist that might be inhaled.
The health effects of chemical emissions from Intel have received considerable attention during the past three decades, including a detailed study funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The Corrales Air Toxics Study implemented by the N.M. Air Quality Bureau produced inconclusive results in 2004. (See Corrales Comment Vol. XXIII No.9 June 19, 2004 “Toxicologist Says Detected Fumes Pose Health Risk.”)
That $600,000 study was abruptly halted in spring 2004 when then-Bureau Chief Mary Uhl reported that a consultant’s air pollution plume modeling results showed Intel’s pollution was traced to nearby residents’ homes at the time they reported illnesses. Such a finding was unacceptable politically. She was later removed as bureau chief.
In the wake of Uhl’s damning disclosure, cabinet level officials within Governor Bill Richardson’s administration huddled to find a way through the dilemma. (See Corrales Comment Vol.XXIII, No. 5, April 24, 2004 “Late Report Links Illnesses to Intel Emission Plume” and Vol.XXIII, No. 9, June 19, 2004 “Cabinet Secretaries Don‘t Believe Air Problem.”)
At that time, the cabinet secretary for the N.M. Environment Department was Ron Curry, who now is Corrales’ Village Administrator. Those findings led to creating the CEWG, which usually holds monthly meetings in the Corrales Senior Center. Now those are online. Starting about the same time was a study by the U.S. Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) on exposure to toxic chemicals from Intel.
The agency’s “community health consultation” began in mid-2004 when Rio Rancho realtor Marcy Brandenburg filed a petition with ATSDR to investigate ongoing health problems reported by residents and business people near the microchip factories.
By the 1990s, suspicions had arisen that certain pollutants that Intel acknowledged releasing, such as large quantities of silica powder, might be causing respiratory and other diseases. (See Corrales Comment series beginning Vol.XXVIII, No.23, January 23, 2010 “Dallas-Region EPA Stages Surprise Inspection at Intel.”)
The EPA report on the inspection came out in October 2010. (See Corrales Comment series beginning Vol.XXIX, No.17, October 23, 2010 “EPA Inspection Slams Air Pollution Permit.”)
The two federal agencies gave considerable attention to the inadequacy of the air pollution permit issued by the N.M. Air Quality Bureau. Reinforcing the criticism voiced for years by CRCAW members and homeowners near Intel, the investigating team stated, “The N.M. Environment Department permit does not contain short-term (hourly, daily, monthly) emissions limits for volatile organic compounds and Hazardous Air Pollutants. Without short-term limits, Intel can have spikes in its emission profile that can lead to acute exposures of these chemicals.” | <urn:uuid:87f91eec-6552-4e79-9cee-3a57fd060ed6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://corralescomment.com/2021/05/25/2021-may-22-issue-intel-considers-monitoring-air-quality-in-corrales-neighborhoods/?share=linkedin | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.965706 | 1,817 | 1.804688 | 2 |

Steam clients crashing again and again in the middle of the game can be extremely annoying. However, you can now solve the issue by running it as an administrator.
The easiest method to do so is to go to the Start menu and expand the Steam folder. Now click More and then select Run as administrator. However, you also need to give permission to its game folders to run the games as an admin.
This guide will tell you how to run Steam games as an administrator on Windows 10 and how to give permission to its game folders too. Let’s begin!
How to Run Steam Games as Administrator on Windows 10
There are multiple methods to run Steam games as an administrator on Windows 10. Let’s check them out below.
1. Via Start Menu
Using the Start menu is the most common and easiest method to run Steam games as admin. Here’s how you can do it.

Is It Better to Run Steam Games As Administrator
In some cases, your operating system may not give the Steam games the necessary permission it requires to operate. As a result, the game might not start or run properly. You might also not be able to keep the progress of your saved games. In this case, enabling the option to run Steam games as the administrator may help you a lot.
What Does Running a Steam Game as Administrator Do
The User Access Control feature prevents some specific actions from taking place on your computer that it may deem fit. However, when you run Steam games as an administrator, it bypasses the User Access Control. This means that the game starts with an administrative token and provides high integrity clearance for those features that would require additional access to your Windows files.
How to Fix Steam Games Crash and Technical Issues
Are the Steam games still crashing even after you’ve set them to run as administrators? Here are a few fixes for you to try. However, you don’t need to try them all. All you need to do is work your way down the list until you find the solution that works for you.

News and news from the world of silicon, microprocessors, new models
nanoscale, artificial intelligence, artificial intelligence tools, new software for AI. Nanoscale of new microprocessor, investments, special news.
The GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) works almost the same as the processor, but is used in the calculation of very complex geometric figures and mathematical calculations.
A GPU is a printed card and is composed of its heart which is the graphics processor, we find the RAM that have the same function as the RAM allocated to the PC or to contain data that the video card needs very frequently, we find the power supply tracks or where the cables that start from the power supply and arrive at the video card are connected and finally we find the PCI Express connection or the part that connects MoBo and GPU.
INTEGRATED AND DEDICATED GPU DIFFERENCE
DEDICATED: The dedicated GPU is a component that is installed in the computer and works only for the calculations of geometric figures
INTEGRATED: The integrated GPU, or those of Intel, are directly integrated into the processor and therefore are of much lower power than the dedicated ones because being together with the processor they heat up much more and therefore are limited by the factory so that the processor does not merge together.
Nvidia: specialized in the production of video cards and also produces graphics accelerators and are the Nvidia GTX or the Tesla
Intel: specialized in the production of processors, it also associates with the latter an integrated graphics not at the level of dedicated cards and are the Intel HD Graphics XXX (XXX stands for the model / series), in addition to the Intel HD Graphics Intel has developed new graphics processors Intel Iris X, Xe included in all latest generation laptops such as LG Gram, Asus VivoBook and many more.
AMD: produces the famous RX 6900/6800/6700 XT and recently introduced Ryzen based APUs (e.g. Ryzen 5 5600G or Ryzen 7 5700U laptops)
While Google has used 1,000 PCs to simulate its neural network with built-in kitten recognition, NVIDIA claims to be able to reduce that number to a handful thanks to the use of GPU accelerated units (used in this case for GPGPU calculations) based on the Kepler architecture. and commonly available commercially at a (relatively) low price.
NVIDIA has collaborated with researchers at Stanford University to replicate (increasing by 6.5 times) the computational capabilities of Google’s setup, but in this case the neural network is powered by the brute power of 16 machines equipped with GeForce GTX 680 graphics cards – in the version with 4 Gigabytes of RAM memory.
The new artificial network super-powered by GPUs has collaborated Andrew Ng, a researcher previously involved in Google’s kitten-dependent neural network project unveiled last year and now outclassed by the new design based on GeForce cards conceived by NVIDIA.
Whether it’s CPU-based, GPU-based or hybrid-design machines, however, artificial neural networks already have a variety of application potentials and more are being added all the time. Microsoft, for example, used this kind of technology to double Bing’s speech recognition speed on Windows Phone gadgets and improve recognition accuracy by 15 percent.
OpenAI presents Triton 1.0, an opensource language for creating neural networks using GPUs
What is Triton and what is it for, a language that opens up new scenarios in the field of artificial intelligence and neural networks.
It’s called Triton and it’s a new programming language designed to implement artificial intelligence algorithms on GPUs and build neural networks.
It was presented by the technicians of OpenAI, a startup based in San Francisco and supported by Microsoft, who first of all wanted to highlight the advantages in terms of ease of use compared to the NVidia CUDA programming tool.
OpenAI’s goal is to make Triton a viable alternative to CUDA for deep learning. The new development solution, in fact, is designed for researchers and engineers who deal with machine learning and who are not familiar with GPU programming despite having good skills on the software side.
The fact Triton was conceived by OpenAI, a company that developed the well-known software for the processing of natural language GPT-3, is already a guarantee of the results that can be obtained and the impetus that the new solution can give to the sector of applications based on artificial intelligence. | <urn:uuid:0adaa28c-9731-48e3-9fa4-6db2876fc24c> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://webcomtools.com/home/news-from-the-digital-world-cpu-ccd-technologies-nano-scale/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.94324 | 919 | 3.15625 | 3 |

Binary trading lets you trade crude oil in USD and other currencies that are traded. Although there are no plans for any changes, many experts believe that the USD will eventually lose its status as the currency of choice. There are some things you should know about trading crude oil in binary form. Learn more about the fundamentals of trading crude oil in binary form. And if you’re not sure where to begin here are some helpful resources.
Investors should first check the Department of Energy’s report on crude oil inventories. This report, which excludes the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, shows changes in the balance between demand and supply. These figures are not the only factors that affect the price of oil. However, they do influence how much oil prices change. You’ll need to mix several data points with EIA statistics to come up with the most accurate predictions. The number of barrels in stock at the date of publication determines price of oil.
The price of crude oil fluctuates wildly on a variety of markets. The price of crude oil is closely linked to political events, natural disasters, and deviations in the markets for currency. There are two primary kinds of crude oil contracts such as spot and futures. Spot contracts reflect the current price on the market, whereas futures contracts indicate prices that buyers and sellers will pay on a later date. Crude oil can be traded in both spot and derivatives markets all over the world.
The prices of crude oil are significantly affected by the global economy. When oil prices increase due to demand for energy. Despite fluctuations in demand, the world economy is a major exporter of energy-related products. Any price change in energy will affect the Canadian dollar’s value.

Price of stock
If you’ve ever dealt in the stock market, you’ve heard about binary options. They allow you to make a bid or an offer on the basis of the price of an asset. The profit of binary options is the difference between the value of the contract and the premium paid. Since these contracts are worthless when the asset being traded fails to reach its exercise threshold before expiration date, they’re great to secure profits.
Binary options and contracts for differences are two types of binary options that the UK financial regulator regulates. Binary trading is monitored by CySEC and FCA but the Australian Securities and Investment Commission is the one who oversees it. While the UK has recently passed a law banning binary options, the law isn’t binding in Australia or the United States. This law is designed to safeguard traders, not hinder them. Binary trading is a great tool for traders as well as investors.
The primary difference between binary trading and stock trading is that stocks are traded on the stock exchange. In both cases, you’ll have to be able to predict price movements, and both require a strong risk management plan. There are numerous frauds in both, therefore it is essential to choose a licensed broker to limit the risk. You can stay clear of the risks of trading in stocks. You will also have more options when it comes to deciding which brokers you work for.
It is vital to conduct extensive research before you trade in binary trading. While you can utilize certain strategies for traditional options, the most effective way to be sure about your predictions is to perform market analysis before each trade. The aim is to earn money by deciding on the right direction for the value of the underlying asset. If the asset you are trading in the direction you anticipate the trader will receive the entire amount of fixed payoff.

Sorry, I don't have time to make a tutorial. But it's really quite easy...
The colours that wrap around the edges of the cube shape are just simple gradients (straight not rounded). You can set that exact colour and configuration with the gradient tool.
You just create one of the rounded slabs duplicate it twice, place it above and re-colour each as needed.
The arrows are made with strokes (or lines) making sure the edges of the strokes are rounded. The hexagonal shape is made up of lines (or strokes as well as the arrows.
The first rounded slab will have been made in the regular affinity view along with the arrows and hex lines. Then they will have been transferred to an isometric view (or plane) using Affinity's nifty fit to isometric view feature. There are a few other approaches you could take. Like making the slab in the iso view and just making the corners rounded.
However, I can appreciate that you're a noob so some of the concepts I'm talking about might seem confusing, but honestly they are pretty easy, (when you know how).
Youtube will provide you with everything you need here. I just did a quick search, there might be better ones tbh.

What was surprising about the Prospectors and Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) conference this year was how many people actually showed up, with Covid-19 ripping around the world.
According to figures from Johns Hopkins’ Coronavirus Resource Centre on March 10, 118,101 people have been infected and 4,262 have died.
While many conferences and large gatherings elsewhere have been cancelled, the March 1-4 Toronto-based mining show carried on, whether people really wanted to be there or not.
Attendance dipped just 10% to 23,144 people, 2,699 fewer than the 25,843 who attended in 2019.
Over the course of the event, I only spotted two people wearing facemasks, and, as far as I know, only Rob McEwen of McEwen Mining decided not to give a scheduled presentation, while another speaker, Nicky Shiels, a commodity strategist at Scotiabank in New York, stayed home and delivered her presentation by video-conference.
Mark Bristow of Barrick Gold and Robert Friedland of Ivanhoe Mines turned up as planned to deliver keynote speeches, and Canada’s Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made an appearance for the second year in a row.
Friedland, who also attended a special pre-PDAC Red Cloud event on Feb. 28, used both occasions to talk about the massive disruption we face with the pivot to the electrification of all things, and the enormous opportunities it presents to miners exploring for and extracting ‘green’ metals like copper, nickel, PGMs and rhodium.
“You have to start thinking about what real electrification means,” he declared at the Red Cloud luncheon.
“We’re entering an era of electric everything and this is super-intensive for the metals I’m talking about.”
One of the many imperatives behind electrification is that air pollution associated with massive urbanization is the “greatest environmental risk to global health,” Friedland said, noting that air pollution masks are now a $4 billion market and, “if you’re going to get a mask, get a good one.”
The mine developer and financier pointed to a 2017 study published in The Lancet medical journal that drew a correlation between dementia rates and people living close to heavy traffic and inhaling fumes from cars and trucks with internal combustion engines.
“This explosion of dementia is linked to fine-grained particulates that get into your head and never come out and this is serious stuff and this scientific understanding has just happened,” he warned.
“Life is hard — it’s harder if you’re stupid.”
In addition to its role in fighting climate change, copper also will become essential in the control of infectious diseases like Covid-19, Friedland predicted.
With its anti-microbial properties, the metal will be employed increasingly as a virus and super-bug killer. As an example of one application, he pointed to Israel’s Argaman Technologies.
The company has engineered copper oxide into 100% cotton fibre that it is developing for use in everything from hospital uniforms to hotel linens and face masks.
The Jerusalem-based company ultrasonically blasts enhanced copper-oxide particles into its CottonX material and claims the copper oxide in the fabric can kill 99% of the bacteria and viruses with which it comes into contact.
Sonovia, another Israeli company, infuses antiviral, antimicrobial zinc and copper oxide nanoparticles into textiles for facemasks and other protective devices.
Ultimately, the world should be thankful for junior mining companies, which are leading the way in finding new deposits of green metals essential in the electric vehicle and grid storage industries, he declared.
“If we don’t have junior mining companies we wouldn’t have anything … I can assure you the majors couldn’t find a mine if their lives depended on it … [and] without funding the junior companies you can’t get there from here. … There is not going to be an Elon Musk without junior mining companies.”
Tesla’s market cap has surged to more than $119 billion and the company “can buy Ford for breakfast and be hungry for lunch,” Friedland continued, adding that according to the International Copper Association, copper demand for electric cars alone should rise 900% between now and 2027.
Friedland also cited stats from consulting firm Wood Mackenzie that about $240 billion will be needed to meet growing metals demand in the next five years.
“We’ve got a big disruption coming here,” he warned.
“The oil price is down and they haven’t a clue. They are like deer caught in the headlights. So now comes the Revenge of the Miners.”

And the progress of events in TURKEY was such, as ere long to direct the eyes of all Europe to the seeming approach of the downfall of the Porte, and the consequent ascendency of Russia on the Bosphorus. Those who observed the progress of the Pacha of Egypt on the side of Arabia, and who recollected the extent of territory formerly possess ed by the Sultans of Egypt, had long foreseen that Mehemet Ali would be likely to embrace some propitious occasion to make himself master of Syria. Such an occasion grew out of a dispute between Mehemet Ali and Abdallab, Pacha of the neighboring government of Acre. Ibrahim Pacha, the conqueror of Greece, was despatched with a powerful army, supported by a fleet, to deprive Ibrahim of his Pachalik. The Porte saw two of its provincial vassals thus engaged in deadly hostilities, without reference to the wishes of their common head. Mehemet Ali, however, was in the situation of aggressor, as he had invaded the territory of the Sultan by sea and land. A firman was despatched to the two Pachas, commanding them to desist from hostilities, and submit their differences to the arbitration of the Porte. This Mehemet Ali would by no means consent to do; and he pressed the siege of Acre with redoubled vigor, while Abdallah held out as obstinately, in the expectation of receiving succor from Constantinople. The Egyptians gained possession of Gaza and Jaffa without difficulty, and reduced Acre to a heap of ruins. Time wore, and no succor
came. Osman Pacha, indeed, advanced as far as Tripoli, but was fain to abandon every thing and fly in disgrace on the approach of Ibrahim. Finding it impossible to hold out any longer, Abdallah at length capitulated, in May 1832, after sustaining a siege of several months' duration.
Ibrahim and his father-in-law were now fairly embarked in rebellion against the Porte. They had treated the Sultan's firman with contempt, driven Osman Pacha from the field, and taken possession, by force, of the Pachalic of Acre. Fortified in their purpose by the success they had thus far enjoyed, the Egyptians lost no time in marching upon Damascus, which fell with scarce a serious attempt at defence. Continuing his triumphant march, Ibrahim proceeded towards Aleppo. On the 8th of July he encountered a large Turkish force commanded by the Pacha of Aleppo, aided by the displaced Pachas of Tripoli and Damascus, and gained a signal victory, which assured to him the possession of Aleppo. The war had now grown to be a matter of life and death to the Sultan, who strained all his exhausted resources to raise a force adequate to withstand the Egyptians. Ibrahim had, meanwhile, advanced to Antioch, and there he found that Hussein Pacha had taken post at Beilan, with a large army, to guard the passes of Mount Taurus. If Ibrahim could overcome this force, there would be nothing to prevent his entering Caramania, when he might, if he pleased, march upon Constantinople, and dictate his
own terms to the Sultan in the
SPAIN was tranquil, and afforded no materials for history, until the dangerous illness of the king in September, 1832, proved by how feeble a thread the peace and happiness of an hereditary monarchy are suspended. His health had been sometime declining, and at length the prospect of his death became imminent. The partisans of Don Carlos seized upon the favorable mo
to be crowned with complete success, and the King was accounted as it were already dead, he unexpectedly rallied, recovered full possession of his reason, and was made conscious by the Queen of the machinations of which she and her daughter were to have been the victims. Indignant that such advantage had been taken of his condition, he appointed the Queen to be Regent of the kingdom during the continuance of his illness, banished Calomarde from his councils and eventually from the kingdom, and entered upon a series of comparatively liberal measures, which promised the happiest influence upon the general welfare of Spain. This last change in policy necessarily ensued from the character and purposes of the individuals, who had composed the particular adherents of Don Carlos, they being the ultra-absolutists, and by no means cordially attached to Ferdinand himself. To strengthen herself against them, the Queen invited to her service many of the moderate party. Don Francisco de Zea Bermudez was recalled from the Court of Saint James, to replace Calomarde in authority at Madrid. The uniment of bodily and mental weak-versities were reöpened. A general amnesty for political offences was proclaimed, from which those only were exempted, who had at any time commanded an armed force against their King, or who as members of the Cortes had voted for his deposition at Seville. Finally, a decree was issued in December, reviving that of March, 1831, and restoring the ancient law of succession in
ness to obtain from him a decree revoking that of March, 1830, and restoring the Salic law of succession, introduced by Philip V. Yielding to the representations made to him by so many eager advocates of the pretensions of his brother, he consented to disinherit his daughter in favor of Don Carlos. But when the schemes of the Carlists appeared
behalf of the daughter of Maria Cristina. And thus, by the accident of an abortive intrigue in the sick chamber of a monarch, the dawn of improvement, so long hoped for and almost despaired of, was at length opened upon Spain.
It remains only to relate the beginning and progress of the war in PORTUGAL between Miguel, the ruler of the kingdom de facto, and his elder brother Pedro, acting in the name of his daughter Donna Maria de Gloria. Immediately after his arrival in Europe, Pedro had set about the vindication of the rights of the titular Queen of Portugal. Troops were enlisted, and vessels, arms, and stores taken up in England and France, a rendezvous being established at Belleisle, on the coast of France. After making such arrangements as were necessary, the expedition departed for Saint Michael, one of the Azores, where the final measures were taken for effecting a landing in Portugal. Notwithstanding the professed neutrality of the governments of England and France, they undeniably connived at the preparations making in the ports of their respective countries, influenced by views adverse to the authority of Miguel. It was very easy to collect a large force of disbanded soldiers, half-pay officers, emnigrant Portuguese and Poles, in short, men of action and adventure, of various nations,-to inan the ships and compose the army of Don Pedro. British officers commanded his fleet, and French or British officers held eminent rank in his land forces. If the
expedition were successful, there would be prize money for the privates, and honor for the officers; they hardly paused to reflect how it would fare with them if they failed.
Pedro set sail from Saint Michael's in June, with a fleet of five large, and seven smaller vessels, besides transports and gunboats, mustering a force of about 10,000 men. His preparations having gone on very publicly for upwards of six months, Miguel had ample notice to be ready to receive him, and might have resisted his landing, except that his intended place of effecting it was kept secret. At length, however, the squadron appeared off the Douro, near the mouth of which the troops were disembarked without resistance, to march immediately and gain possession of Oporto. This they accomplished on the 10th of July, while the troops of Miguel fell back upon Coimbra. Oporto had been selected by Pedro, as a point at once defensible on the land side, and accessible to communication with his fleet by means of the Douro, at the same time that it was the second city in the kingdom, and peculiarly attached to the Constitution. Here he fortified himself strongly, and prepared to take advantage of circumstances, hoping to see the Portuguese themselves rise in the cause of his daughter. In this, however, he was disappointed. The country remained tranquil and unmoved, while Miguel took measures to invest Oporto with all his forces, and either to reduce the city, or at least prevent Pedro from making
any advance into the heart of the kingdom.
Although Miguel's troops fell back at first, yet they came up again in a few days, and took post at Penafiel. A little skirmishing, with marching and countermarching, ensued, previous to the 22nd, when a battle was fought at Vallongo, which satisfied both parties that the contest was not likely to be a brief one. Pedro claimed the victory, but was content to make good his position in Oporto and in the suburb of Villa Nova, on the opposite side of the river, while the troops of Miguel continued to hem in the Constitutionalists by a line of posts stretching from Penafiel on the southeast, around to Redondo on the south side of the Douro. On the 7th of August the Constitutionalists made an unsuccessful attempt to carry the position of the Miguelites at Redondo. Some few rencontres, of no great moment, occurred in the same month between the fleet of Pedro under Admiral Sartorius, and that of Miguel.— Early in September the Miguelites became the assailants. They began by driving the Pedroites from Villa Nova; but as the latter still retained the convent of Serra on the same side of the river, the two parties exhausted
themselves for a while in desperate efforts to gain or hold those places respectively. On the 29th of September, again, the Miguelites made a combined attack on the works around Oporto, but without carrying them; and on the 13th of October another attempt was made, without success, on the convent of Serra. After this the Miguelites contented themselves with laying siege to Oporto; and for the residue of the year the war consisted only of the usual incidents of a siege, in which neither side made any very effectual progress towards a conclusion of the affair. Thus much, however, was apparent.Pedro was shut up in Oporto, with a turbulent army, opinionated foreign officers, and very imperfect resources, to maintain the pretensions of Donna Maria. But the Portuguese nation afforded him neither men nor money. On the contrary, Miguel's army was numerous, resolute, comparatively well found, and betrayed not the slightest disposition to quit his service, for that of Pedro. In fact at the expiration of the year, the war presented to all appearance the picture of an invader and a foreign army striving to impose a new government upon Portugal.

THE riots at Bristol, Nottingham and other places, in the latter part of 1831, had given indications, which could not be misunderstood, that the downfal of the Tory party was at hand.
Upon the rejection of the reform bill in the House of Lords, on the 7th of October, steps were immediately taken to prevent the resignation of the ministry.

Suffering and hardship can sometimes be very instrumental in eroding a Christian’s faith in God.
Many Christians in the world today are passing through a lot of problems. Many are of the belief that God despises them or has deserted them.
In fact, just like Job, many have been advised to “Curse God and die” Job 2:9. It is hoped that this article will help you to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
The bible says in the book of Psalms 30:5 that “For his anger endureth, but a moment; in His favor is life. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”
In this article, we will be providing 7 Reasons Why God Allows Suffering In Our Lives. I hope that you will learn a lot from this article.
For the purpose of correction.
In several passages in the Bible, various men of God have shown us Christians that God does not deliberately punish us.
The Book of Hebrews 12:6, the bible says “For whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth and scourgeth every son whom he received”.
In other words, God loves us and therefore, corrects us as needed.
This passage tells us that the chastening of God should not be translated as God being wicked, but rather be considered as love.
In verses 7 and 8 of the same chapter, the bible says “If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not.” VS 8 “But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards and not sons”.
In that passage, the bible helps us to understand that as a Christian, you should never curse God because of that sickness or penurious state that you are currently in.
Remember that God is always on the throne and He loves and cares for you very much.
For the purpose of testing your faith.
If there was someone in the Bible who experienced the greatest suffering, it definitely would be Job.
In the book of Job 16:16, Job described how his precarious situation had brought tears to his face as he said, “My face is foul with weeping and on my eyelids is the shadow of my weeping”.
He suffered in every area of his life, and for no apparent reason. He experienced suffering in his health, he lost all his children and livestock. In the book of Job 2:9, his wife even advised him to “curse God and die”.
At that time, Job was probably the most frustrated person of his time but he never lost his faith in God.
Know this for a surety, God does not put Christians in a morass if he knows that you will not be able to scale through, “God is not mocked” (Galatians 6:2), he knows exactly what he is doing and why he has put you in that situation.
Keep trusting Him, you will never be put to shame.
Live A Victorious Christian Life
To teach a lesson.
God sometimes allows suffering in the lives of his children as a teaching tool but Christians sometimes view their struggles as punishment. Many are not patient enough to realize that God might be communicating something to them.
Let us take an example from the case of Balaam in the book of Numbers 22:27 “And when the ass saw the angel of the Lord, she fell down under Balaam and Balaam’s anger was kindled, and he smote the ass with a staff.”
VS 28 “And the Lord opened the mouth of the ass and she said unto Balaam, what have I done unto thee that thou hast smitten me these three times?” VS 29 “And Balaam said unto the ass because thou hast mocked me: I would there were a sword in mine hand, for now, would I kill thee”. He never took the time to look beyond the obvious.
In these verses of the Bible, Balaam viewed his inability to continue his journey as a form of suffering and took out his frustration on his ass.
He had already whipped the ass three times before he actually realized that the angel of God had been standing right in front of him. (VS 31).
So as Christians, sometimes all we need to do is give that still small voice a listening ear, God might be sending you a message. He may be saving you from something by allowing that delay or not giving you that job you so long for.
Do not use that precarious state that you are in as a sign that God is Wicked (He is not a wicked God), rather see something positive in that situation.
To draw us back to him.
Many Christians today because of their level of affluence have shifted from Christ. They do not care any longer about pressing towards the mark.
They are so blinded by their riches that even if God were right in front of them, they would not be able to see him. Such an individual has made his possessions his god rather than placing his trust in the true and living God.
His affluent state has now taken over that place in his heart that should be reserved for God. God will then cause him to suffer until he repents because God is a jealous God.
He will not allow anything to take His place. Joshua 24:19 says, “And Joshua said unto the people, ye cannot serve the Lord, for he is a holy God; he is a jealous God…”
So as Christians we need to know that God is never a cruel God. He is a kind and caring father who does not take pleasure in seeing His children suffer.
Whatever the situation that you are passing through, do not let it weigh you down. You need to go on your knees and ask God for direction instead of whining and complaining that God is wicked.
He might just have mercy and free you from the suffering that you are passing through. If you have derailed from the path of Christ, please do come back to him and you will be certain to live in his eternal glory.
For His own Supreme reason.
God does things his own way and we often do not understand His ways. Even the Bible has made it clear that “His ways and not our ways”. He has allowed you to be in that situation for a reason. Complaining and accusing Him of deliberately causing you to suffer will not be beneficial to your recovery.
God is a supreme God and no one can question His actions. In the Bible, one of Jesus’ disciples asked him about a man that was born blind.
Now, if someone was born blind, does it mean that God is wicked? No! God has a reason for doing that, the Bible tells us that God is a caring and loving father. The bible tells us that “His strength is made perfect in our weakness”.
The bible also teaches us to understand that God is not an author of confusion, He cannot be merciful and also wicked. He definitely has a reason -which surpasses human wisdom and understanding – for taking any step in the lives of those who love him.
To activate us spiritually.
I do know that this might be confusing to a number of persons, but one thing is certain, God is always correct. The point being made here, is that God might be allowing your suffering in order to stimulate a dormant part of your spiritual self.
It may be your prayer life. Many times in the Bible, the children of Israel experienced many challenges and God would just leave them until they activated their prayer life. He would appear to abandon them until they got their prayer life in order.
Many Christians in the world today would prefer to blame God rather than examine themselves to see if God is trying to activate a part of them that is dormant.
It could be their prayer life, the aspect of fasting, daily communion with him, or any other spiritual discipline. All that is needed is the understanding that God is trying to activate something in you.
For proper remembrance.
We may be experiencing struggles or suffering in our daily lives. Let us not lose sight of the fact that suffering is God’s way of strengthening us, renewing us, and in some instances chastising us.
Whatever the reason for our suffering, God is always in control and His word says that “all things work together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose”.
There you have it, seven ways that God uses suffering in our lives. Suffering is hard when you are going through it but with God, we can smile at the end of the storm.
I do hope that this article has been a blessing to you all. Stay blessed and continue to live in his glory!!!

The New York Times will now use the word “torture” to describe any incident in which interrogators "inflicted pain on a prisoner in an effort to get information," a reversal from the paper's previous policy of referring to "harsh" or "brutal" interrogation methods.
The change was announced late Thursday in a note from executive editor Dean Baquet.
"Over time, the landscape has shifted," Baquet wrote. "Far more is now understood, such as that the C.I.A. inflicted the suffocation technique called waterboarding 183 times on a single detainee and that other techniques, such as locking a prisoner in a claustrophobic box, prolonged sleep deprivation and shackling people’s bodies into painful positions, were routinely employed in an effort to break their wills to resist interrogation."
"Meanwhile, the Justice Department, under both the Bush and Obama administrations, has made clear that it will not prosecute in connection with the interrogation program," he continued. "The result is that today, the debate is focused less on whether the methods violated a statute or treaty provision and more on whether they worked – that is, whether they generated useful information that the government could not otherwise have obtained from prisoners. In that context, the disputed legal meaning of the word 'torture' is secondary to the common meaning: the intentional infliction of pain to make someone talk." | <urn:uuid:726839c0-df9d-4297-9448-f40a21dea601> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.politico.com/blogs/media/2014/08/ny-times-broadens-use-of-torture-193609 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.964494 | 287 | 2.15625 | 2 |

- The doctors suggest that Uncle Porson should go stay at his house in France to get away from England s cold and dreary climate, and the Monk and Porson duos leave immediately. | <urn:uuid:ae20d036-6c23-43ed-a2a7-16321599b471> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://ja.ichacha.net/m.aspx?q=porson&p=9&l=zj | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.984686 | 237 | 2.3125 | 2 |
Nakba Day meaning “day of the catastrophe” is the day the Palestinians “mourn” the creation of Israel, the day after the anniversary of the creation of Israel in the secular calendar (May 15th).
Truth be told, the day became a catastrophe for the Palestinian Arabs thanks to the nations of the Arab League. Today the refugees are the Arabs best strategy to destroy Israel, a strategy that was endorsed by the 2012 Democratic Party platform.
We have to start with the fact that there would have been no refugees if the Arab nations recognized United Nations Resolution 181, which called for dividing Palestine into Independent Arab and Jewish states. (Yes the UN said it was to be a Jewish state). Instead the Arab League invaded the Palestinian Jewish State creating Muslim and Jewish refugees. But very few remember that there were actually more Jewish refugees from Arab States than Arab refugees from Israel. Also forgotten is the fact that what the Palestinians call occupied territory was never part of a “Palestinian state.” Before 1967, Judea and Samaria (commonly known as the West Bank) was Jordanian land and the Gaza Strip (which Israel abandoned over eleven years ago)was part of Egypt
Despite what the propagandists may say, the Palestinian refugee camps, were a catastrophe created by the Arab League and especially Egyptian President Nasser. Nasser figured out that it would make a great weapon against Israel (he was right). He knew that by forcing them into “camps” rather than allowing them to be absorbed by the countries they settled in, the Palestinians would remain the Arab Leagues best weapon against the Jewish State.
Even though Israel offered the return of territories gained in the 1948 war, at the Rhodes armistice conference of February 1949, Arab leaders rejected Israel’s peace offers. Instead they declared jihad and condemned the Arab refugees to eternal refugee status. Instead the Arab nations occupied the remaining areas which the United Nations had envisioned as a Palestinian Arab state. Egypt herded Palestinian Arabs into refugee camps in its new fiefdom in the Gaza Strip, assassinated their leaders, and shot anyone who tried to leave. Jordan illegally annexed the West Bank and maintained martial law over it for the next nineteen years. Keep in mind that 60% of the Jordanian population is Palestinian Arab, the royal family are Hashamites who trace their lineage to what is now Saudi Arabia. In other words they have a heavy hand with the Palestinians because they are a foreign power ruling over the Palestinian Arabs.
Note after the Six-Day-War, the Arab League passed the Khartoum Resolution, also known as the “three no’s, the resolution declared, “no peace with Israel, no recognition of Israel, no negotiations with Israel.”
As the conflict with Israel hardened throughout the 1950s, Nasser came to see that Palestinian nationalism, if carefully manipulated, could be an asset instead of just a threat and an annoyance. Although the fedayeen terrorism prompted Israel to invade the Sinai in 1956, the Egyptian leader saw the value in being able to deploy a force that did his bidding but was not part of Egypt’s formal military; which could make tactical strikes and then disappear into the amorphous demography of the west Bank or the Gaza Strip, giving Egypt plausible deniability for the mayhem it had created. But Nasser’s ability to support such a useful terrorist group was limited by the failed economy over which he presided; and so, in 1964, he was delighted to cooperate with the Soviet Union in the creation of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) which was led by an Egyptian, Yasser Arafat.
While countries around the world are being urged to absorb millions of Muslim refugees today, in 1948 Egypt and Jordan were allowed to throw into refugee camps — the UN estimated the number as 711,000 refugees. At the time there was more than one “Middle East Refugee” problem. People forget there were 850,000 Jews in Arab nations that were thrown out of Arab countries. Perhaps that they were forgotten because Israel absorbed those refugees as part of her population.
The Palestinian refugees are indeed part of the wedge preventing Arab Peace with Israel but not on the way one thinks. In 2012 it was estimated that there were approximately 30,000 of those 1948 Arab refugees still alive. But the UN estimated that the number of Palestinian refugees are over 5 million. That’s because while ignoring the Jewish refugees, the UN counts the original refugees, their children, grandchildren, first cousins twice removed on their mother’s side, friends from nursery bomb-making school, etc. as refugees. This is the only example in history where the number of refugees has grown without another population shift and just one more way that the United Nations is trying to destroy Israel. Usually the by the second generation people have been absorbed into their new homes, but the Arab countries have refused to allow the Palestinian refugees to become citizens of their new lands.
Nine years ago Israel’s 60th birthday, Charles Krauthammer wrote:
During its early years, Israel was often spoken of in such romantic terms. Today, such talk is considered naive, anachronistic, even insensitive, nothing more than Zionist myth designed to hide the true story, i.e., the Palestinian narrative of dispossession.
Not so. Palestinian suffering is, of course, real and heart-wrenching, but what the Arab narrative deliberately distorts is the cause of its own tragedy: the folly of its own fanatical leadership — from Haj Amin al-Husseini, the grand mufti of Jerusalem (Nazi collaborator, who spent World War II in Berlin), to Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser to Yasser Arafat to Hamas of today — that repeatedly chose war rather than compromise and conciliation.
Palestinian dispossession is a direct result of the Arab rejection, then and now, of a Jewish state of any size on any part of the vast lands the Arabs claim as their exclusive patrimony. That was the cause of the war 60 years ago that, in turn, caused the refugee problem. And it remains the cause of war today.
The reason the refugee issue remains today, is because they are the Arabs most potent weapon to destroy Israel, and they are receiving help the United Nations and sadly the Democratic Party in the U.S.
That is why the Palestinians have refused to recognize Israel as the Jewish State (which is how it was defined by the resolution creating Israel).
Since they cannot defeat Israel militarily; one of the Palestinians’ strategies is to flood democratic Israel with many of those 5 million “refugees” so it will cease to exist as a Jewish state via election. It may retain the name Israel but it will be one more Arab Muslim country. They call it the right of return. As Palestinian President Abbas said in a November 2014 interview with the Egyptian newspaper Akhbar Al-Yawm, the supposedly moderate Abbas explained why he will not recognize Israel as the Jewish State: “There are six million refugees who wish to return, and by the way, I am one of them.”
And the Democratic Party agrees with Abbas. A plank in the Democratic Party platform requiring Palestinian refugees to be resettled in a Palestinian state rather than Israel was removed during the 2012 convention; unlike the Jerusalem provision it was never added back. Since they cannot defeat Israel militarily; one of the Palestinians strategies is to flood Democratic Israel with “refugees” so it will cease to exist as a Jewish state via election. That is why the 2008 and previous Democratic Party platforms included the refugee statement, and why as the party began to become more liberal/anti-Israel that plank was removed.
In the end Nakba day is not about recognizing the Arab people displaced by Israel’s 1948 war of independence, there are only 30,000 left. Nakba day is about another approach to destroying the Jewish State of Israel, an approach the Democratic Party platform agrees with. | <urn:uuid:05d66ee3-07ca-49a8-86ba-e19378116bd1> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lidblog.com/nakba-day-palestinian-refugees/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.966353 | 1,642 | 3.1875 | 3 |
: Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common pediatric psychiatric disorder. Although mindful exercises (Yoga and Tai Chi) have been increasingly accepted as alternative medicine for ADHD, no meta-analytic review has been conducted on this topic.
: We systematically and critically evaluated the existing literature regarding the effects of the two most widely practiced mindful exercises on ADHD symptoms and social problems in children and adolescents with ADHD.
: Searching literature databases included PubMed, Web of Science, Scope, China National Knowledge Infrastructure and Wanfang. Only randomized controlled trials (RCT) and non-randomized controlled studies (NRS) that investigated the beneficial effects of Yoga and/or Tai Chi for ADHD were included in this review. Two review authors independently performed literature search, data extraction, and study quality assessment. Based on the random-effect model, standardized mean difference (SMD) reflects magnitude of mindful exercises was calculated.
: Seven eligible studies (5 RCTs and 2 NRS) were included for meta-analysis. As compared to control groups, mindful exercises showed significant positive effects on attention (SMD = 0.93, 95% CI 0.39 to 1.48, p < 0.001, 12 = 36%), hyperactivity/impulsivity (SMD = 0.93, 95% CI 0.53 to 1.34, p < 0.001, 12 = 60.17%), overall symptoms of ADHD (SMD = 0.84, 95% CI 0.3 to 1.38, p < 0.05, 12 = 54.61%), and social problems (SMD = 0.49, 95% CI -0.01 to 0.98, p < 0.05, 12 = 0%).
: Yoga and Tai Chi may have the potential to alleviate the symptoms and social problems among children and adolescents with ADHD. More robust studies with large sample sizes are needed to validate results of the present meta-analytical review.

A thorough, comprehensive technique for relaxation and personal transformation, autogenic training - developed in the early 1930s by the German psychiatrist Johannes H Schultz - consists of a series of simple mental exercises designed to turn off the body's `fight or flight' mechanism, and turn on the restorative rhythms and harmonizing associated with profound psychophysical relaxation. Practiced daily, it can bring results comparable to those achieved by serious Eastern meditators.
Yet unlike meditation, autogenics has no cultural, religious or cosmological overtones. It demands no special clothing, unusual postures or practices. When you practice autogenics, emotional and spiritual detoxification happens in just the way physical detoxification occurs on Clean Sweep Diet, and once again the whole process is generated from within.
freedom from within
Johannes Schultz was a student of the clinically orientated neuro-pathologist Oskar Vogt, who at the turn of the century at the Berlin Neurological Institute was deeply involved in research on sleep and hypnosis. Vogt remarked that some of his patients who had been subjected to hypnosis developed the ability to put themselves in and out of a hypnotic state - or rather autohypnotic, since it was self-induced. These people experienced remarkable relief from tension and fatigue and also tended to lose whatever psychosomatic disorders they had been suffering from. Drawing on Vogt's observations, Schultz went on to design techniques that would enable people to induce this deep mental and psychological relaxation at will.
Schultz found that when men and women enter the autohypnotic state they experience two specific physical phenomena: the first was a sensation of heaviness in their limbs and torso, and the second a feeling of diffuse warmth throughout the body. This warmth is the result of vasodilation in the peripheral arteries and the sensation of heaviness is caused by deep relaxation in the body's muscles. Schultz reasoned that if he taught people to suggest to themselves that these things were happening to their bodies, they might rapidly and simply be able to experience a state of passive concentration, which in turn would exert a positive influence over the autonomic nervous system, balancing energies of mind and body, helping a person experience a high level of relaxed vitality and freedom from premature degeneration, and gradually clearing away negative thought and behavior patterns that have been interfering with a person making full use of his or her potential.
Schultz discovered - as have many since - that in a state of passive concentration, all activities governed by the autonomic nervous system, once believed to be out of man's control, can be influenced by the person himself. This happens not by exercising any conscious act of will but rather by learning to abandon oneself to an ongoing organismic process.
This strange paradox of self-induced passivity is central to the way autogenic training works its wonders. It is a skill which Eastern yogis, famous for their ability to resist cold and heat, to change the rate of their heartbeat, levitate and perform many other extraordinary feats, have long practiced. But until the development of biofeedback and autogenic training, and the arrival of Eastern meditation techniques, this passive concentration largely remained a curiosity in the West, where active, logical, linear, verbal thinking has been encouraged to the detriment of practicing our innate ability to simply be. Many experts on the psychological processes of aging believe that it is overemphasis on the use of the conscious will in the West that makes us so prone to premature aging and stress-based illnesses in the first place.
get warm and heavy
To help his patients induce the autogenic state, Schultz worked with the sensations of heaviness and warmth. Later he added suggestions about regular heartbeat and gentle quiet breathing - two more natural physiological characteristics of relaxation - and then went on to suggestions of warmth in the belly and coolness of the forehead. These six physiologically-orientated directions - heaviness and warmth in the legs and arms, regulation of the heartbeat and breathing, abdominal warmth and cooling of the forehead - form the core of autogenic training.
A person learning autogenics goes through each of the six steps, one by one: "My arms and legs are heavy and warm, my heartbeat is calm and regular etc" each time he or she practices. Because of the body and mind's ability with repetition to slip more and more rapidly into the deeply relaxed yet highly aware autogenic state, the formula becomes increasingly shortened until after a few weeks or months of practicing you can virtually induce a state of profound psychophysical relaxation at will. Once you have mastered the exercises, they can be practiced anywhere - even sitting on a bus.
balance life energies
A key principle on which autogenics is based is that the body will naturally balance its life energies, biochemically and psychologically, when allowed to repeatedly enter a relaxed state. The benefits of being able to do this are virtually endless. Some of them come immediately - such as being able to counteract acute stress and fatigue, refresh yourself and clear your mind. People with high blood pressure who learn autogenics report drops in systolic blood pressure from 11 to 25% and more, as well as 5 to 15% in diastolic pressure. Brain-wave activity also changes so that you get a better balance of right and left hemisphere, leading to improved creativity at work and a sense of being at peace with oneself. Other benefits come more slowly over the weeks and months and years that you practice. Recoveries from bronchial asthma and a whole range of other psychosomatic disorders have been reported, as well as the elimination of self-destructive behavior patterns and habits such as drug taking, compulsive eating and alcoholism. As a result, autogenic training is now given as a standard instruction in Germany and Switzerland.
The basic autogenic exercises are simple. Taking up one of three optional postures - sitting slumped rather like a rag doll on a stool, lounging in an easy chair, or lying on your back with your arms at your side - make sure you are reasonably protected from noise and disturbances and that your clothes are loose and comfortable. It is easiest to learn autogenics lying flat on a floor or on a very firm bed. Once you have got the basic exercise under your belt you can do it just about any time, anywhere, sitting up or even very discretely on a bus on the way to work. If you like, you can record the autogenic exercises that follow on tape very slowly and play it to yourself in the beginning. I generally find, however, that it is better to learn it very simply from the words that are in the box below.
Lie down on your back in bed or on the floor. Make yourself comfortable with whatever pillows or covers you need to do so. Close your eyes gently. Take a deep slow breath and pause for a moment. Now exhale fully and completely. Let yourself breathe slowly and naturally. Feel your body sinking back into the floor. Now repeat the following phrases to yourself slowly and silently letting yourself savor the sensations of heaviness and warmth as you do. The first phrase is: My left arm is heavy... my left arm is heavy... my left arm is heavy... my right arm is heavy... my right arm is heavy... my right arm is heavy... Let go of any tension in your arms as you say to yourself: My left arm is heavy... my left arm is heavy... my left arm is heavy... repeating each suggestion three times. Continue to breathe slowly and naturally, remembering to exhale fully. Say to yourself: Both arms are heavy... both arms are heavy... both arms are heavy. Let go of any tension in your arms. Then say: Both legs are heavy... both legs are heavy... both legs are heavy... As you continue to breathe slowly and naturally, say to yourself: Arms and legs heavy... arms and legs heavy... arms and legs heavy... arms and legs warm... arms and legs warm... arms and legs warm...
Feel the warmth flow through to your arms and legs as you say to yourself: Arms and legs warm... arms and legs warm... arms and legs warm... Continue to breathe slowly and freely while you repeat silently to yourself: My breathing calm and easy... my breathing calm and easy... my breathing calm and easy... my heartbeat calm and regular... my heartbeat calm and regular... my heartbeat calm and regular... Feel your strong, regular heartbeat as you say the words to yourself. Continue to breathe easily and say to yourself: My solar plexus is warm... my solar plexus is warm... my solar plexus is warm... Feel the muscles in your face relax as you say to yourself: My forehead is cool and clear... my forehead is cool and clear... my forehead is cool and clear... Enjoy the feeling of softness and calm throughout your body and say to yourself: I am at peace... I am at peace... I am at peace...
When you have finished the exercise you are ready for the return. It will bring you back to normal everyday consciousness: Quickly clench both fists, take a deep breath in, flex both arms up in a stretch, then breathe out slowly and completely, returning your arms with unclenched fists to your sides. Now open your eyes. Lie for a moment with your eyes open and just allow yourself to BE HERE NOW WITH WHATEVER IS, then get up and go about your life.
When first learning autogenics, you will need to repeat each suggestion three times and the entire exercise itself needs to be repeated at three different periods each day. The best time is just before you get out of bed, just before you go to sleep, and at some other moment of the day. If there is no way you can lie down during the day you can always do the exercise sitting in a chair. If you are practicing in public such as on a bus or at your desk in an office, draw your fists up to your chest by bending your elbows rather than bringing the whole arm above the head for the return.
Before long you will find that even the simple suggestion "my right arm is heavy" will trigger the psychophysical relaxation process in the whole body. Some people get feelings of heaviness and warmth right away. For others it can take as long as a week or two of practicing three times a day for 10 or 15 minutes at a time. To everybody it comes eventually, and with it comes a profound sense of relaxation. Canceling the training session occurs when you clench your hand into a fist and raise your arm straight above your head, or bend your arm and draw your fist to your shoulders, at the same time taking a deep breath and then stretching. This trains your body to return to normal consciousness right away. Meanwhile your temporary excursion into the realm of deep relaxation keeps working its magic.
autogenic training made simple
Here is an aid memoir for practice. Repeat each suggestion 3 times:
MY LEFT ARM IS HEAVY...
MY RIGHT ARM IS HEAVY
BOTH ARMS ARE HEAVY...
BOTH ARMS ARE WARM...
BOTH LEGS ARE HEAVY
ARMS AND LEGS HEAVY...
ARMS AND LEGS WARM
BREATHING IS CALM AND EASY...
HEARTBEAT CALM AND REGULAR
MY SOLAR PLEXUS IS WARM...
MY FOREHEAD IS COOL
I AM AT PEACE
CLENCH BOTH FISTS
TAKE A DEEP BREATH
FLEX BOTH ARMS UP IN A STRETCH
BREATHE OUT SLOWLY
OPEN YOUR EYES
LIE FOR A MOMENT WITH EYES OPEN
BE HERE NOW WITH WHATEVER IS.
Repeat each suggestion three times, repeat the exercise three times a day.
discharge the blocks
Although autogenic training brings about a `low-arousal' state similar to yoga and meditation, where parasympathetic activity dominates, it stems from exercises meant specifically to induce simple physical sensations leading to a state of relaxation of a purely physical nature. The benefits which come with practicing it go far beyond the physical: in addition to slowing the heartbeat, reducing blood pressure, regenerating and rejuvenating the body, autogenics triggers changes in the reticular activating system in the brain stem which can result in what are known as `autogenic discharges'. These are a spontaneous way of de-stressing and de-aging the body, eliminating old tensions and wiping away thought patterns that may have been inhibiting the full expression of your being.
Autogenic discharges can manifest themselves as temporary twitching of the arms or legs - much like the twitch experienced occasionally on falling into a deep sleep - during the session itself, or increased peristaltic movement - stomach grumbles - or various transient feelings of dizziness or visual or auditory effects. These phenomena are harmless, quick to come and go, yet an important part of throwing out life-accumulated, stressful material stored in the body or psyche.
A few people - I among them - when they first begin autogenic training, go through two or three weeks where a lot of old stress and emotional rubbish gets released through autogenic discharge. Old feelings of discouragement or depression, laughter or anxiety can sometimes rise to the surface. It is important to be aware of this possibility and to be aware of what is happening if it does occur. It is only the psychic side of detox that will help renew, refresh, and rejuvenate you, as old stress you have been carrying about with you rises to the surface to clear permanently.
Because of this discharge phenomenon, some psychologists in the English speaking world who teach autogenics like to work on a one-to-one basis with their students in order to help them gain perspective on what is coming up from their consciousness. In Germany and Switzerland this is not considered important. There, autogenic training is taught as a matter of course both to adults and school children with no such psychological back up. The important thing to remember is whatever surfaces is likely to be very old indeed, stuff you've been carrying around for a long time and which you are far better off without.
three's the charm
Begin your practice of autogenics on day 2 of 10 Day Rejuvenation Plan adding it to Clean Sweep Diet. It takes about ten to fifteen minutes to run through autogenics while you are learning it. Afterwards the exercises can be done much more quickly - eventually in two or three minutes if necessary. Rather like Pavlov's dog, who learned to salivate simply because the bell sounded and the food appeared together so many times, the magic of autogenics depends on your continual repetition of the exercise again and again, day after day. Once the initial period of learning is completed, you can then choose to practice the exercises once or twice a day whenever you like. In the process you will have gained a lifelong skill that is invaluable for de-aging the body and mind.
Within 10 days to 2 weeks of practicing autogenics,most people feel a steady and increasing release of creative energy, and a sense that great burdens are being lifted away so that - often for the first time - they begin to feel more free to live their own life by their own values. It is rejuvenation at its very best.
the zen of now
There are two important aspects to making autogenic training work for you. The first is a real acceptance of your current circumstances or position - knowing that anything that you feel just now, whether it happens to be fear, anxiety, joy, frustration, inadequacy or environmental stress, is OK for the moment. It is only through acceptance of 'what is' now that we open the gateways to change. The second important thing about autogenic training is self-discipline. You need to make time to do the exercises each day and to establish a routine. | <urn:uuid:55c8e8f1-b015-4ecc-ac36-adf39614cb61> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://lesliekenton.com/article/autogenics | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.94975 | 3,306 | 2.4375 | 2 |

Short URL for this page:
•Two thousand miles off the Northwest Coast, in mid‑Pacific, a group of islands rises majestically out of the sea. Their glistening beaches are lined with cocoanut palms and banana trees and thick tropical foliage grows far up their wooded mountain-sides. To the American seamen of the Nor'westmen no contrast to the dour and forbidding coast they had left could have been more striking or more pleasing. Here was a friendly haven where 'refreshment' could be obtained under conditions almost idyllic, and sailors stricken with scurvy or worn from an exacting trade with treacherous Indians could be soothed by the warm breezes of the south.
The Columbia had stopped at what were then known as the Sandwich Islands and anchored off the white shores of 'Owhyhee' on its first voyage. Thereafter almost every vessel on the coast followed its example en route to Canton, and many of them, unable in a single season to secure their full cargo of sea‑otter furs, would spend the winter at Hawaii and return to their trading in furs the next spring. It was an ideal place to obtain those fresh supplies of hogs, fowl, fruit, vegetables, cocoanut, and sugar cane which were so welcome to weary seamen after months of salt pork washed down by spruce beer. Furthermore, the islands could supply a useful product to supplement a cargo of skins. The merchants of Canton were always ready to pay a high price for a few piculs of the fragrant sandalwood which Captain Kendrick about 1790 discovered growing wild on the island of Kauai.
p66 With some few exceptions the relations between the Americans and the Hawaiians were extremely friendly. The naturalness of the islanders, and that effervescent spirit which led their first visitors enthusiastically to call them the happiest people in the world, were as welcome a change from the somberness of the Northwest Indians as were the inviting beaches of the islands after America's rocky coast-line. 'The characteristics of these islanders,' wrote Cleveland, 'are activity, gayety, volatility, and irritability; those of the Northwest Indians, heaviness, melancholy, austerity, ferocity, and treachery.'
Unless a taboo should happen to be in effect — one of those periodic verbotens by which the native priests exerted their authority and forbade any Hawaiian to go upon the water — the arrival of an American vessel invariably was the signal for an excited descent upon the newcomers. The islanders were ready to barter their fresh supplies for almost anything made of iron, and in the early days of the trade nothing more was needed to replenish a ship's larder than a good supply of knives, hatchets, or even nails.
The most cordial welcome was also extended to the Americans by the islands' ruler, King Tamaamaah.1 This ambitious potentate was actively extending his power over the whole archipelago during this period and he quickly learned from the visitors certain of the ways of the West which proved helpful in his campaigns in the outlying islands. Their trade brought him firearms and ammunition and no vessel could long remain at anchor before he paid it an official visit and sounded out the prospects of an exchange of sandalwood for weapons of war.
A 'large athletic man, nearly naked,' is one of the first p67 descriptions of this remarkable personage, but he soon paid his visits in greater style. An impressive costume made up of a blue broadcloth coat, a red waistcoat, and velveteen breeches trimmed with red, became his state uniform when he called upon the American captains, stalking proudly about their decks with a long sword clanking at his side. Often he would be accompanied by one or more of his favorite wives, ladies, we are told, who were very beautiful, but of 'unmeasured size.' Sometimes the festivities on shipboard during these visits were quite unrestrained. We read of royal swimming races and of the queens getting very drunk.
After such ceremonies the American sailors hurried ashore, and there is no question that not least among the Hawaiian attractions were the ladies of the realm, however enormous they might be. Knowing none of the conventions of the West, the natives were as glad to lend their wives to the Americans as to each other, and the first mark of Hawaiian hospitality was to offer the travelers their choice among the native women. The 'females were quite amorous,' wrote John Boit, Jr., on one occasion, and in his description of the second visit of Americans to the Sandwich Islands he declared that 'not many of the Columbia's Crew prov'd to be Josephs.'
Under such conditions it is little wonder that only special vigilance on the part of captain and officers could keep most of a ship's crew from deserting the hard life of a sailor for a taste of Hawaiian freedom. Some of them did take up permanent residence ashore, the nucleus of the American colony of later years, and lived there under Tamaamaah's friendly protection. Two of them, John Young and Isaac Davis, became the King's trusted advisers and influential middlemen in the sandalwood trade. Another, Samuel p68 Patterson, was granted land, servants, and the choice of any women whom he favored except the wives of the chiefs. A friendly haven and a selection of women were also offered one Archibald Campbell, an English sailor from an American ship which had been wrecked on the Northwest Coast.
Unfortunately, the natives beyond the influence of Tamaamaah were not always as friendly as this, and in the early days of the trade precautions sometimes had to be taken more reminiscent of the coast than of the courteous hospitality of 'Owhyhee' itself. Captain Ingraham had a first experience of this sort when the Hope was once surrounded by seven hundred canoes with twenty thousand fighting men, and only the quick seizure of hostages averted an attack by these 'very Trecherous and Deceitfull' people.
Another story is told by John Bartlett, who had sailed to Canton on the Massachusetts in 1790, and, after its sale by Samuel Shaw, reshipped on a coast voyage on the snow Gustavus. When this vessel reached the islands, it followed the custom of the day in entertaining friendly visitors, and one night 'every man in the ship took a girl and sent the remainder ashore.' Suddenly a signal was given, and while 'every Girl in the Ship Clung fast to her Man in a very Loving Maner,' their lawful spouses cut the vessel's anchor ropes. But the seamen acted promptly to prevent their ship from drifting ashore. Breaking away from the affectionate embraces of their companions, they drove the women into the cabin and got the Gustavus under sail. The next morning they returned to the scene of the plot, and, after a little skirmishing with the natives, allowed the women to jump overboard and make the best of their way ashore.
Far more serious was the experience of Captain Metcalf and the ill‑fated brig Eleonora. This New York vessel was one of the first to engage in the Northwest trade — Samuel p69 Shaw reported her off Macao on his second voyage and in 1789 she was in Nootka Sound — and on one of its voyages Captain Metcalf arranged a rendezvous at the islands with a smaller vessel, the Fair American, which he had bought in Macao and placed under the command of his son. No sooner had the Eleonora reached the appointed place than one of her crew was murdered by the natives, and, as the story is told, his bones brought back to the ship and offered for sale.
Incensed at this insult and treachery, Captain Metcalf determined on a bloody revenge. He went on peacefully trading and threw handfuls of beads over the side of his ship to draw in as close as possible all the native canoes which were swarming about his vessel. Then without warning he fired a sudden broadside into their midst. Some three hundred Hawaiians were said to have been killed.
But this was not all. All unknown to Captain Metcalf at the time he was carrying out this wholesale execution of the innocent and the guilty, his son's command, the Fair American, had been ambushed on another side of the island. Its entire crew, with the exception of one man, was massacred.
How much this bloody stain upon the early relations between the Americans and the Hawaiians may have been due to the way in which Captain Metcalf treated the natives is not known. There is evidence that both in Hawaii and on the Northwest Coast he recognized no scruples in obtaining his fresh supplies or his furs. At all events, he paid the final penalty for his possible mistreatment of the natives, for a few years later the Eleonora met much the same fate on the Northwest Coast as that which had overtaken the Fair American in Hawaii. Somewhere among p70 the Queen Charlotte Islands the vessel was seized by Indians and Captain Metcalf and all but one of the crew were killed.
This incident was not in any way typical of the growing intercourse between Americans and Hawaiians. The only real check upon their early trade was due not to treachery on the part of the natives but to their increasing sophistication. After Captain Kendrick had taken the first cargo of sandalwood to Canton on the Lady Washington, this adjunct to the fur trade continued to grow and prosper until it, too, was interrupted by the War of 1812. One contract which the Winship brothers of Boston had made with King Tamaamaah for the entire monopoly on all the sandalwood grown in his territories was repudiated, and after the war both the King and his people were more exacting in their demands upon the American traders. The knives and hatchets and nails of the first days of barter were no longer good currency.
When Captain Hill arrived in the Ophelia in 1816, he found that all the King wanted was American-made schooners; his chiefs such products of the West as carriages,2 damask tablecloths, and rum. From the account books of William French, who came out to Hawaii in the brig Neo two years later, we find that the demand then was for European clothing, arms, and ammunition. On one day Tamaamaah bought two shirts for a canoe-load of vegetables and a week later sixteen kegs of rum, a box of tea, and eight thousand dollars' worth of guns, powder and shot, paying for this transaction with eight hundred and fifty piculs of sandalwood. The next year his son bought thirty-four p71 cakes of gunpowder, eighty muskets, and a $4160 sloop, for four hundred and sixteen piculs of sandalwood, four hogs, and his note for an unstated sum.
Soon after this the character of the Hawaiian trade changed still more. King Tamaamaah was succeeded in 1820 by King Liholiho and the precautions which had been taken by Tamaamaah to preserve the sandalwood forests were abandoned. The wood was cut down in such careless haste that it had the double effect of drugging the Canton market with an annual importation of twenty‑one thousand piculs and quickly denuding the islands of all sandalwood trees. The Hawaiian Islands were now to become a port for direct trade with the United States, due both to the large numbers of American vessels calling there for supplies3 and to the growing needs of the Hawaiians themselves, but its days as a way station on the route to Canton were over.
If the islands thus outgrew their part in the China trade, it was nevertheless this trade which first led to American interest in Hawaii, then to the missionary movement which brought the islanders within the pale of Western civilization, and ultimately to annexation.
American seamen rounding Cape Horn and making their way up to the Northwest Coast and then across the Pacific to Hawaii and Canton were not ignorant of the fact that there was a vast intervening coast-line which was part of Spanish America. When sea‑otter furs became scarce about Nootka Sound and the mouth of the Columbia, their vessels inevitably crept farther south to California; when weather p72 or scarcity of provisions made some intermediate halt between the Cape and the Northwest desirable, they did not hesitate to put into one of the Spanish ports of South America. But along this entire coast trade with any foreign vessel was generally forbidden by the Spanish authorities. Until the establishment of the independence of Mexico and of the South American Republics, what commerce there was had to be furtive and contraband. The Americans traded either with the connivance of the customs guards, or, should they prove incorruptible, in spite of them.
Along the California coast there were in the days of the Northwest trade only a few scattered mission stations. Richard H. Dana was later to paint an unforgettable picture of the country in 'Two Years Before the Mast,' but before the trade in hides commenced, California was little known and American vessels skirting its shore-line were pioneering new territory. There were several variations to the trade they attempted to carry on. The Nor'westmen might try their luck at such ports as San Diego, San Blas, or Monterey, hoping to find officials willing to place furs in the category of 'necessary supplies.' They might seek out Indians on isolated spots along the coast. They might get in touch with the padres of the mission stations who were always glad to ignore Spanish regulations and trade for American goods whatever furs they could obtain from their Indian converts.
The ship Otter of Boston, Captain Ebenezer Dorr, Jr., which put into Monterey for 'provisions' in 1796, is believed to be the first American vessel to have anchored in the waters of California. Four years later another Boston vessel, the brigantine Betsy, Captain Charles Winship, was ignoring Spanish regulations by trading directly with the Indians. By 1804 the Americans were annually leaving p73 some twenty-five thousand dollars in goods and specie along the forbidden coast.
One novel scheme first carried on in this same year was that of Captain Joseph O'Cain in a ship named after himself. By an arrangement with the Russian authorities at New Archangel, he borrowed seventy-five canoes and one hundred and twenty Indians, bringing them with him on a cruise to California. The Indians put off from the ship in their canoes to hunt the sea otter and were so successful that in a single season Captain O'Cain loaded eleven thousand skins.
But the voyage which best gives us a picture of the California trade was that made a few years earlier by Captain Cleveland, soon after those adventures on the Northwest Coast in his fifty‑ton cutter. He had returned to Europe in 1801 and there chartered, together with William Shaler, formerly United States Consul-General at Algiers, the brig Lelia Byrd. Sailing from Hamburg late that year, they stopped first at Valparaiso, where their relations with the Spanish authorities, suspicious with good reason that their cargo was not directly destined for Canton, soon forced them to proceed farther north. They did not dare enter any other port of Chile or Peru, but at San Blas finally succeeded after considerable intrigue in obtaining permission from the Viceroy of Mexico to exchange a part of their cargo for furs.
They next put into San Diego, but found the commandant of this port unwilling to let them trade on any pretense. Nevertheless, it was arranged to purchase some sea‑otter skins from the customs guards without his knowledge. A longboat was sent ashore to collect them and preparations made to put out to sea before such duplicity could be discovered. But the longboat did not return. It had been p74 seized by the commandant. 'The choice presented us,' Captain Cleveland wrote, 'was that of submission, indignant treatment and plunder; or resistance and hazarding the consequences.'
Naturally it did not take a Yankee seaman long to make up his mind what he should do under such circumstances. Cleveland promptly went to the rescue of his men, seized the Spanish soldiers who were holding them prisoners, and put out to sea. As he passed the fort guarding the entrance to the harbor, it opened fire. But Cleveland was ready for the attack. 'As soon as we were abreast the fort,' he wrote, 'we opened upon them, and in ten minutes silenced their battery and drove everybody out of it. They fired only two guns after we began, and only six of their shots counted, one of which went through between wind and water; the others cutting the rigging and sails. As soon as we were clear we landed the guard, who had been in great tribulation lest we should carry them off.'
It was outright, unashamed smuggling, and if the 'battle of San Diego' does not reflect too highly upon the methods of American traders on the California coast, it affords a striking example of their relations with the Spanish. They had no hesitation in defying constituted authority as long as they could get away with it.4 They had no compunctions about employing all the trickery or force at their command to make off with the coveted furs which priests, soldiers, or traders were only too glad to sell them if the arm of the law could be avoided. Cleveland excused his smuggling on the ground that the people welcomed it and were oppressed by p75 their rulers. To add insult to injury he lost no opportunity wherever he was along the coast of South America to urge the people to follow the example of the United States and throw off the Spanish yoke. Behind him from Valparaiso to San Diego, he left a trail of copies of the American Declaration of Independence.
Another aspect of Cleveland's activities in California is to be found in his experiences upon his next stop in Bay of San Quintin. Here the Lelia Byrd was visited by the padres of the missions of San Vincente, San Domingo, San Rosario, and San Fernando, who arrived on horseback with large retinues of Indian servants. They were a 'jolly set of fellows,' Cleveland wrote. 'Their object seemed to be principally recreation, though they brought a few sea‑otters' skins, which they bartered with us for European manufactures.'
Apparently neither race nor religion set up any barriers to the mutual enjoyment these two different sets of men — Yankee seamen and Spanish priests — found in each other's company. The padres had come prepared to stay far longer than their trade could possibly have demanded, and after pitching their tents near the Lelia Byrd's anchorage they insisted upon Cleveland's accepting their hospitality. The American sea captain declared that 'never was there an equal number of men more disposed to promote harmony and good fellowship, and we dined together alternately on shore and on board, during the week that they remained with us.'
Thanks to his defiance of the Spanish port authorities and his friendship with the mission fathers, Cleveland was able to secure a full cargo of furs before he left California for Hawaii and Canton. He had made a successful voyage, and by the time he reached Boston and sold his return cargo of p76 tea and silks, his profits were tremendous. He had first sailed to the East in 1797 in a cutter which he bought, together with its cargo, for seven thousand dollars. When eight years later he at last returned home, this original investment had swollen to seventy thousand dollars, for those days a comfortable fortune.
Trade at the ports of Spanish America south of those in California has been described in the remarkable sea journals of Captain Samuel Hill.a This New England sailor had a stormy career, sailing first to the Pacific on the John Jay in 1795, and in subsequent years voyaging to Japan, in the employ of the Dutch, and to the Northwest Coast, where he was once captured by the Indians. While in Canton on one of these voyages, he came under the influence of the famous missionary, Dr. Robert Morrison, and was persuaded to live a more sober and religious life than that to which he was accustomed as a hard-driving sea captain. It is to this we owe his careful record of his later voyages. It summons up a pleasant picture to imagine Captain Hill forswearing his daily grog and retiring quietly to his cabin to write out in his beautifully clear hand a journal, half nautical observations, and half sad regrets for the follies of his earlier days.

It was in 1815 that he sailed for South America in command of the ship Ophelia, three hundred and sixty tons, owned by Perkins and Company of Boston. His cargo was seventy thousand dollars in Spanish silver, which was to be exchanged at Valparaiso for pig copper, this commodity to be taken in turn to Canton and traded for tea and silk.
Captain Hill was accorded a wide discretion by the vessel's owners as to what he should do if it proved impossible to trade at Valparaiso. There were whales' teeth at the Galapagos Islands, sandalwood at Ingraham's Islands, or sea‑otter skins at Norfolk Sound. If necessary, he was to p77 stop at Hawaii for sandalwood. Should all these markets fail, he was to try at Batavia for freight to Japan or for a cargo of coffee for Boston. In all events he was to be careful of the Spanish guardacostas and to speak no ships which he could avoid.
The Ophelia was armed with eight six‑pounders, fifteen muskets, two blunderbusses, twelve cutlasses, fifteen boarding pikes, two pairs of pistols, and four hundred rounds of powder and shot. It was estimated that the voyage would take eighteen months, and supplies of bread, beef, and pork for this period were taken aboard. There were twenty‑two in the crew, the wages of the able seamen being seventeen dollars a month, and those of green hands and boys from six dollars to ten dollars. Captain Hill had the privilege of ten tons on the home cargo and various commissions on what he bought and sold from five to seven per cent.
He was a strict disciplinarian, the journal shows us. For sleeping on their watch his seamen were sent to the masthead for two hours and deprived of their grog for two days. There was to be no swearing, blaspheming, or obscene language, and Captain Hill supplemented his attempts to promote godliness, a matter not altogether in his control, by strictly enforcing a cleanliness which did fall within his province. On Saturdays all bedding was to be aired and clothes washed. Sunday was a day of rest, but the men were mustered and had to be clean.
The Ophelia met its first adventures after leaving Boston while rounding Cape Horn. Encountering unusually hot weather, two weeks were spent in making the stormy passage between the Atlantic and the Pacific.
'We were scourged with a series of dreadful Gales during which time we had but few Intervals of Moderate Weather and those were Very Short,' wrote Captain Hill. 'The p78 Winds Varied generally from S.W. to N.W. and sometimes to N.N.W. but the heaviest of these winds was from the West by North and N.W. The terribly heavy Sea, Produced by such a continuation of Gales, operating upon an Ocean, Open even to the Pole, without Interruption except from the Masses of Ice, may readily be conceived. I think I have never seen so heavy a Sea before. With these Gales we wore and tacked occasionally as the wind shifted a few Points, but the drift occasioned by the Current and heave of the Sea, was such that although we carried all the Canvas we Possibly could and never hove to, yet we hand enabled to do but little more than keep our Position. The Ophelia Proved a Most Excellent Sea Boat, and Safe Ship, or we should not have done so well, and I considered ourselves as being extremely fortunate in having Suffered no damage, except a Main top Sail split and a jib boom partially sprung. . . .'
Finally, one hundred and twenty‑two days out of Boston the battered vessel made Valparaiso. But the Spanish authorities were in an unfriendly mood. There was no disposition on their part to stretch the regulations which allowed foreign ships to obtain fresh provisions into permission to buy any copper, and the Ophelia was unable either to trade legitimately or to smuggle. It left port after a brief stay with its cargo of silver dollars still intact.
Ill‑luck now continued to dog Captain Hill as he vainly sought out various ports of the Pacific where his specie might be exchanged for some other commodity which could be traded at Canton. At the Galapagos Islands rough weather prevented him from landing even a boat's crew, and at Hawaii there was a temporary feud on between King Tamaamaah and the Americans which prevented him from buying a single picul of sandalwood. The Ophelia was p79 forced to turn westward and, crossing the Pacific by way of New Britain, the Admiralty Islands — where for a time the ship was stuck upon a reef — and New Guinea, it at length reached Batavia. Here again there was no trade for an American vessel, and Captain Hill continued on the course to his ultimate goal of Canton. It was August, 1816, when the Ophelia anchored at Whampoa with the exact same cargo with which it had left Boston a little over a year before.
The hong merchants could, of course, always use specie and the voyage was by no means a loss. A cargo of Canton goods was taken aboard and Captain Hill set out on the homeward voyage by way of the Cape of Good Hope. Five months later and the Ophelia was in Boston Harbor.
The ill‑luck of his ventures in South America, however, had by no means discouraged Captain Hill with the prospects of trade in the Spanish colonies. Soon after his return with the Ophelia, he set out once again for Valparaiso aboard the Packet, two hundred and eighty tons, carrying a miscellaneous cargo costing some two hundred thousand dollars.
When he reached the Chilean port on this voyage, it was to find the South American colonies in open insurrection and a patriot squadron harassing the regular Spanish shipping. Consequently the authorities eagerly welcomed an American ship bringing supplies which they could not import themselves. Free permission was granted Captain Hill to trade and to export copper, and by sending some of his goods overland from Valparaiso to Santiago he managed to do thriving business.
When he reached Canton with his new cargo, mostly copper, he found such a ready sale for it that he freighted to Boston the China goods for which it was exchanged and p80 returned in the Packet to South America. For the next few years he traded regularly back and forth between Canton and Valparaiso, repeating the success of his first venture, and it was not until 1822 that the Packet returned to Boston after a total voyage of almost five years.
This Canton-South American trade, in which Captain Hill was by no means the only voyager, never assumed the importance of other branches of America's commerce with China. In 1819, we find that American vessels exported from Canton to South America only $262,830 worth of goods. This seems to be a fair average for the period and an indication of the extent of the direct trade, even though it does not take into account South American products which were picked up en route by the fur‑traders. But, at the same time, Canton exports to Europe in American ships were six times this amount, and the value of those goods taken directly to the United States twenty-four times as great. It was a trade important only because it represented a phase of that widespread search on the part of the Americans for any products which could be exchanged for Canton's teas and silks.
1 Tamaamaah, as he was then called, is known to history as King Kamehameha I.
2 Captain Cleveland had brought the first horse to Hawaii in 1803. The people were greatly excited; Tamaamaah blasé. He could not see that a horse's ability to transport a person faster than he could walk was sufficient compensation for all the food the horse would consume.
3 It was the whalers especially who later made Hawaii a regret port of call. Samuel Eliot Morison says that sixty put into Honolulu in 1822, while some twenty years later the annual arrivals were over four hundred.
4 The author of Two Years Before the Mast found Cleveland's fame still bright when he visited the California coast. 'We take this opportunity to assure the author,' Dana wrote in a review of Cleveland's book, 'that, after the lapse of more than thirty years, the story [of his battle] was yet current in San Diego and the neighboring ports and missions.'
a Capt. Hill's journals lie in manuscript in the New York Public Library and have not been published in full. Abridgments of two of Capt. Hill's journals have been published, edited by James Wilbur Snyder, Jr.: "Journal of a Voyage to Canton, 1815" (New England Quarterly, 10:355‑380); and "Voyage of the Ship 'Packet' to South America and China, 1817" (Americana, 33:310‑325). The captain's manuscript autobiography (Autobiography of Samuel Hill and Other Matter about Him, in the New York Public Library like his journals) still does not appear to have been published at all.
What our author will focus on in the next pages here, from the first of the journals mentioned, is by and large omitted by Snyder in his abridgment, which is as a whole rather less interesting. To my mind, this speaks well to Dulles' storytelling ability and makes me wonder, should you be casting around for a doctoral or publishing project, what other bits omitted by Snyder still lie in manuscript.

The ancient Indian Hindu Mother Goddess, Aditi, is the daughter of Daksha and Veerni. She is the unbounded Sky Goddess, honored as the mother creator of life because she gave birth to the planets and the stars.
She had twelve children that are called the twelve sovereign principles: Mitra (solidarity), Varuna (fate), Aryaman (chivalry), Daksa (ritual skill), Bhaga (the inherited share), Amsa (the gods’ given share), Tvastr (craftsmanship), Savitr (the magic power of words), Pusan (prosperity), Sakra (courage), Vivasvat (social laws), and Vishnu (cosmic law. Aditi’s children help protect humankind.
Aditi’s name means “unbound, unlimited, and unfettered.” Aditi is revered as the unbounded love found in motherhood.
Aditi is the guardian of all life and the supporter of all creatures. She is also the keeper of light that illuminates all life and ensures consciousness.

Netball to have new national league
By Michael Uugwanga
AMATEUR sport could soon become something of the past in Namibia, after the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service put a plan in place to professionalise sport codes as stipulated in the current National Development Plan (NDP5), which calls for the professionalization of sport and employment creation through sport.
Sport plays a vital role in any country, as it is seen as a tool to unite communities, create job opportunities and can be a major contributor to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of countries that have professional sport industries.
Sport in the United Kingdom alone contributes about 39 billion British pounds a year (about N$800 billion) to the national economy, with a significant portion coming from grassroots sport through athletes buying trainers, bikes, gym membership and pay match fees, among many other money-spinners.
According to South African department of Sports and recreation in 2009 sporting activities contributed about 2.1 percent to the country’s GDP-that’s about R41-billion (N$41-billion).
In Namibia, professionalising sport will still remain a big challenge as sport has never been a government priority in terms of funding, with the trend expected to continue due to the economic impact of Covid-19 and a further shift in resources to cope with the pandemic, that has seemingly led to a further drop in funding to the Ministry of Sport, Youth and National Service.
Sharing information on how government intends to help professionalise sport, acting executive director in the Sport Ministry Edelberth Sivhute Katamba said the push to professionalise local sport dates back to 2018 and the categorisation of sport codes, with football, rugby and netball being categorised as priority sport codes.
“These [plans] appear in NDP5. As a conduit for sport professionalisation, the line ministry started with the categorization of sport codes in 2018. We aim to start sport professionalisation with three national sport codes and gradually move to the priority codes before coming to the development of sport codes,” said Katamba.
Netball, a sport that was once very popular, is going through a transition after many years in the wilderness, but over the past three years a lot has been achieved by Netball Namibia, in particular the women’s senior team the Desert Jewelz who won the M1 Nations Cup in Singapore last year. In 2018 they won the Debmarine Namibia Netball Pent Series on home soil.
Among the priority sport codes, netball is the only code without a national league like football, which is topped by the Namibia Premier League (NPL) while rugby has the Namibia Rugby Premier League (NRPL), with both leagues contested by various clubs from different regions.
Currently, Khomas Netball League remains the top regional league while at the coast there is the Erongo Netball League, the two Kavango regions (East and West) also have leagues and Omaheke (in particular Gobabis) also has a netball league.
Katamba said that the Sport Ministry will therefore help Netball Namibia set up a similar league structure for its own premier league.“When you look at the three national sport codes, netball is the only sport code which is not having a professional league. Henceforth, the ministry intends to start with netball, once the Covid-19 measures [are eased].
“The ministry will be guiding Netball Namibia with the professionalisation process. In this regard, the ministry is securing partners and will discuss our plans once Covid-19 restrictions are lifted,” said Katamba.
Asked why government only emphasised professionalising sport now and not in the past, Katamba said the plan was crafted already in 2015-2016. He also acknowledged that sport has over the years often been overlooked when it comes to government funding, compared to other sectors such as education, health and defence, despite top achievements by athletes globally.
“Sport will not only impact the youth alone, but will spill over to other sectors, such as those in accommodation provision, sport attire production and construction of sport facilities and transportation industry,” he said.
“The impact of sport toward national development is still much underrated in the country. As young people are slowly entering positions of power, the sport concept is also becoming part of the regional and national agenda. This is a wind of change for sport and the line ministry is grateful for this development and intends to capitalise on it.” | <urn:uuid:6bf6416e-329e-463b-bc1f-5a0d20ef8fd7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://confidentenamibia.com/netball-to-have-new-national-league/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.948115 | 941 | 1.65625 | 2 |
OTTAWA — Retired general Rick Hillier is lamenting what he sees as waning Canadian interest in the war in Ukraine as public and political attention turns increasingly toward the rising rate of inflation and other issues closer to home.
But the former Canadian defence chief who served as the face of this country’s military mission in Afghanistan for years warns that even more economic hardship is in store if Canada and its allies don’t step up their support for Ukraine and stop Russia.
That includes the rapid provision of hundreds of millions of dollars in Canadian military aid that the federal Liberal government promised in April, only a fraction of which has been delivered.
“Just imagine what would occur if Russia breaks through and takes Ukraine, changes the oil and gas flow dramatically, changes the flow of wheat into Africa, to the Black Sea ports,” he said in an interview.
“The implication will be double, triple or quadruple what we see right now. … It’s right to do more as a nation and we can afford to do more. But secondly, do it because the economic implications down the road of not doing it are brutal for us also.”
Hillier was speaking in his role as the new head of an advisory council comprised of retired military commanders organized by the Ukrainian World Congress, an advocacy group for the Ukrainian diaspora.
The UWC has been running a campaign called Unite With Ukraine that seeks to raise funds to buy non-lethal military equipment for the country’s Territorial Defence Force, which is comprised of volunteers — including foreigners — fighting Russia’s invasion.
Canada has been a staunch supporter of the Ukrainian military since Russian forces first attacked in late February, with the Liberal government promising $500 million in military aid in April’s federal budget.
The government says it has since provided more than $150 million worth of assistance, including millions in artillery shells, drones and satellite imagery. Those are in addition to the provision of four artillery guns and several armoured vehicles.
Defence Minister Anita Anand earlier this week held up the purchase of drone cameras for the Ukrainian military as one of several recent successes when it comes to military procurement, saying the government “turned around a contract within days.”
But Hillier says there needs to be a greater sense of urgency as Russia, after its early battlefield blunders, has started to deploy more of its military capabilities in ways that the Ukrainians are finding difficult to counter.
“They’ve committed half-a-billion dollars and I’d like to see that money spent in very effective ways, with things delivered to the Ukrainian defence forces literally right now, and not go through a procurement process,” he said.
“Let’s get them what they need right now.”
Hillier repeated some of his past calls for Canada to send some of the hundreds of light-armoured vehicles that form the backbone of the Canadian Army’s mechanized power, as well as dozens of tanks.
At the same time, he worried that the war in Ukraine is falling down the priority list for Canadians as they face more pressure on their pocketbooks due to rising fuel and food costs as well as mortgage rates.
“I watched a variety of national news shows over the last days and several weeks and Ukraine is barely mentioned, let alone what’s occurring there,” he said. “And people are worried about their ability to put food on their table, and their jobs and house.”
Hillier’s comments came as the Russian military extended its grip on territory in eastern Ukraine on Thursday, and the Ukrainian military announced the arrival of powerful U.S. multiple-launch rocket systems it hopes will offer a battlefield advantage.
The U.S. plans to send another US$450 million in military aid to Ukraine, including some additional medium-range rocket systems, ammunition and other supplies, U.S. officials said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to provide details ahead of an announcement.
Analysts said the advanced systems, which Canada does not operate, would give Ukrainian forces greater precision in hitting Russian targets.

Little change to Vancouver downtown street encampment as residents wonder where to go
VANCOUVER — It was difficult to see any difference had been made to the tent encampment in Vancouver’s troubled Downtown Eastside on Wednesday, a day after city staff began what’s expected to be a weeks-long process to remove the structures.
That’s for good reason, said a resident who goes by the name Edith Elizabeth — the people who live in the tents have nowhere else to go.
She said previously, residents would relocate their structures nearby so city staff could clean the street.
“It’s just like, ‘Okay, cool, take down our structures and move down the block so they can wash it,’ and that’s it,” said Elizabeth. “But here, now, it’s just like we have to disappear or something.”
Vancouver fire Chief Karen Fry ordered tents along the stretch of Hastings Street dismantled last month, saying there was an extreme fire and safety risk.
The city has said staff would concentrate their efforts on the “highest risk” areas, but several structures in those areas remained in place on Wednesday.
The neighbourhood struggles with many complex challenges including drug use, crime, homelessness, housing issues, and unemployment.
It was tense on Tuesday, Elizabeth said, with a heavy police presence on the street.
The Vancouver Police Department released a statement Tuesday saying multiple people were arrested after officers were assaulted during a “melee.”
It said staff at a community centre had called police to report a man throwing computers and behaving erratically. The man resisted arrest, police said, as “a large crowd gathered, and became hostile and combative with the officers.”
Elizabeth said police used pepper spray and the incident left people feeling scared.
An update from the city on Wednesday said a big contingent of police at the Main and Hastings intersection in the afternoon “was not as a result of the City’s effort to remove structures”, and instead stemmed from the incident outside the community centre.
The city said staff aimed to approach encampment residents “with respect and sensitivity, encouraging and supporting voluntary removal of tents and belongings through conversation.”
“We recognize that some people believe the city should not do this work, but there are significant safety risks for everyone in the neighbourhood that the city cannot ignore,” it said.
Elizabeth stood near her belongings on the sidewalk where she said she’s been staying for about three weeks after moving from another spot nearby.
“It’s not like this is a forever, permanent place,” she said, although she’s not sure where she might go next.
“As far as options down here, generally there’s been Crab Park, which is like tent city,” she said, referring to tents set up around the park near Vancouver’s waterfront.
Elizabeth said she, like many others living in tents along the street, doesn’t feel comfortable or safe in single-room occupancy buildings with “awful” conditions.
The city said staff have been meeting each week with a community-based working group since May, and more frequently with members of the Overdose Prevention Society and Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users over the past two weeks.
Staff spent Wednesday telling residents about storage options for their belongings, the city said.
These included up to two 360-litre storage totes, which staff would seal with tamper-proof labels before placing them in short-term storage. The city said the totes are on wheels, so owners can take them away if they did not want them stored.
A long-term storage container is also being provided nearby, the city said.
Community advocacy groups, including the drug-user network and Pivot Legal Society, have said clearing the encampment violates a memorandum of understanding between the city, the B.C. government and Vancouver’s park board, because people are being told to move without being offered suitable housing.
The stated aim of the agreement struck last March is to connect unsheltered people to housing and preserve their dignity when dismantling encampments.
The City of Vancouver may enforce bylaws that prohibit structures on sidewalks “when suitable spaces are available for people to move indoors,” it reads.

Draft speech on residential schools edited out blaming Ottawa for abuse: documents
Ottawa was careful to avoid admitting abuses Indigenous children suffered at residential schools happened “at the hands of the federal government” in remarks prepared for a Liberal cabinet minister after the discovery of unmarked graves last year, documents show.
The Canadian Press obtained documents through the Access to Information Act that show a draft version of a speech written for Carolyn Bennett, who was then minister of Crown-Indigenous relations, originally contained those words before they were edited out.
“It gets to me that they’re still in a place of defending themselves,” said Cindy Blackstock, executive director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada.
In May 2021, the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc Nation announced ground-penetrating radar had found what are believed to be the unmarked graves of about 200 children on the site of a former residential school near Kamloops, B.C.
The revelation spurred a reckoning across the country about the legacy of residential schools, which were government-funded, church-operated institutions that about 150,000 First Nations, Métis and Inuit children were forced to attend in Canada over more than a century. Thousands of children experienced physical, sexual and emotional abuse and neglect, or even died.
The discovery also prompted questions about what Ottawa was going to do about it.
Days later, the Department of Crown-Indigenous Relations was drafting a speech for Bennett in anticipation of a possible emergency debate on the matter in the House of Commons.
That never happened. Another form of debate was held and it appears the draft speech, as written in the documents, was not the one that Bennett ended up delivering.
One section of the draft remarks addresses the suffering children endured in residential schools, originally saying “they experienced unthinkable trauma, including physical, mental and sexual abuse at the hands of the federal government by simply attending school.”
Speech writing can be a lengthy process. Text is often drafted by the department and then sent to staff in the minister’s office and to the minister, and then sometimes back and forth again.
Edits contained in the 17 pages of drafts show the words “at the hands of the federal government” were struck out. The reason for the revision was redacted before the documents were released to The Canadian Press.
“The government, they talk a great deal about reconciliation,” said Eleanore Sunchild, a Saskatchewan lawyer and advocate from Thunderchild First Nation, who has represented many residential school survivors in physical and sexual abuse cases.
“That, however, doesn’t speak of reconciliation at all, taking out those words.”
Saskatoon Tribal Council Chief Mark Arcand said he found it “disturbing … that Canada keeps trying to minimize its role in residential schools.”
The Crown-Indigenous Relations Department has not yet responded to a request to explain the change. But the office of the current minister, Marc Miller, said in a written statement that the federal government “takes full responsibility” for its role in the residential school system, “including the abuse that Indigenous children suffered at these institutions.”
Former Conservative prime minister Stephen Harper apologized for Canada’s role in residential schools in 2008 as part of the historic Indian Residential School Settlement Agreement.
In his speech, Harper apologized for the government “failing to protect” children at the institutions, which he said “far too often … gave rise to abuse or neglect.”
He also apologized for the separation of children from families and acknowledged it carried consequences for future generations.
In the speech that Bennett ultimately gave on unmarked graves on June 1, 2021, she said she wanted to give her “profound apologies to the families and survivors,” but she did not mention abuse or assign blame.
Last month, Pope Francis came to Canada to apologize for residential schools on behalf of the Catholic Church, which operated more than 60 per cent of the institutions.
The pontiff asked forgiveness for the “evils” committed by “many Christians” against Indigenous children in residential schools. Many Indigenous leaders said they had hoped for an apology that specifically spoke about the role of the Catholic Church.
Bill Percy, a Winnipeg-based lawyer who has represented survivors seeking compensation for sexual and physical abuse, said it’s possible government took issue with the words “at the hands of” in the draft.
“That implies that they were the physical abusers,” he said.
“Most of the direct abusers would be church-related employees, not federal government employees.”
Regardless, he said Canada has paid out most of the billions of dollars distributed to abuse complainants under the settlement.
“When push comes to shove, in the court cases, the federal government always has taken responsibility.”
Blackstock said she sees where Ottawa has “wiggle room,” given that the federal government did not directly perpetuate abuse.
“What the federal government did is knowingly leave children in situations where this was happening, and were choosing not to intervene to save them from the deaths and save them from the abuse,” she said.
She said whether it’s the Vatican or Canada, institutions have demonstrated a reluctance to take full accountability for residential schools.
“What I’ve been concerned about writ large is the portrayal by the federal government as this is a ‘dark chapter in history,’ and not really owning the fact that they knew what they were doing was wrong. They knew it was leading to children’s deaths.”

Quebec religious minorities feel less safe, hopeful due to secularism law: survey
MONTREAL — Religious minorities in Quebec are feeling less safe, less accepted and less hopeful since the province passed its secularism law three years ago, a new survey suggests.
The results published Wednesday by Léger and the Association for Canadian Studies reveal that Quebecers who identify as Jewish, Muslim or Sikh report “broad-ranging, disruptive and profound negative impacts” stemming from the 2019 law, which bans public sector workers deemed to be in positions of authority from wearing religious symbols on the job.
“Muslim, Jewish and Sikh respondents describe being exposed, in their daily lives, to attitudes and behaviours that directly impact their sense of acceptance and safety, civic engagement and sense of fulfilment, well-being and hope,” the study authors write.
“The waning of hope for the next generation is especially striking in all three communities.”
Miriam Taylor, the director of the study, said it was women who were most likely to report feeling less safe than they did three years ago.
“For women there was also a feeling that their ability to speak freely in public had worsened in all three communities,” said Taylor, who is the Association for Canadian Studies’ director of publications and partnerships.
Muslim women reported some of the greatest impacts, with over 70 per cent of respondents saying they felt less safe and over 80 per cent saying they felt less hopeful for the next generation than when the law known as Bill 21 was adopted.
Sikhs, while they represented a much smaller pool of respondents, also reported a “significant” deterioration in indicators that measure fulfilment, well-being and hope, “with in almost all cases, more than 75 per cent reporting a worsening of their situations,” the study found.
While the decline in indicators of engagement was less marked among Jewish respondents, over half said the feeling of being accepted as a full-fledged member of Quebec society had worsened over the last three years, and nearly 40 per cent of female Jewish respondents said they felt less inclined to participate in social and political life.
Members of all three religious communities reported exposure to hateful incidents at levels far above those experienced by the general population, and some provided examples that ranged from insults to someone trying to run them over with a truck.
“People were spat at and had their hijabs ripped off and their turbans threatened,” said Taylor, who added that even religious minorities who did not wear religious symbols had felt their sense of safety and engagement decline.
The study found that overall support for the law among the general public has remained steady since its inception, with about two-thirds of respondents in favour. But here, too, Taylor said the responses show “nuance.”
A majority of respondents — 64.5 per cent — felt is was important for the Supreme Court of Canada to decide whether the law is discriminatory, and fewer than half of those surveyed said they could continue to support it if the court were to decide it violates the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
And despite overall high support for the law, only 39.2 per cent of respondents agreed that a public servant who disobeys it should lose their job, Taylor pointed out. Teachers, police officers, judges and prison guards are among those prohibited from wearing religious symbols under the law.
Support for the law is also lower among women — 59 per cent compared to 68 per cent among men — and is especially low among those who are younger.
Taylor said the survey showed that those who support the law most strongly are also the least likely to report interactions with non-Christian religions, which shows that their negative opinions “are not rooted in real experience.”
She said it’s impossible to measure exactly how much of what religious minority members are experiencing is tied directly to the law.
“Social climate is a very complicated thing to measure, but some of this is due to Law 21,” she said. “It can’t be an accident that you have these consistent numbers across the board.”
The study results were created by combining a Léger web survey of the general population with the Association for Canadian Studies’ polling of religious minorities, and weighing the results to better represent the general population.
In total, 1,828 Quebecers — including 632 Muslims, 165 Jews and 56 Sikhs — were questioned for the study, which does not have an official margin of error because it was conducted by web panel.

In light of the pandemic that we currently face, it also presents us with an all-time high global health crisis. The adjustments that COVID-19 has caused us to make doubles the distress for those suffering from diseases or chronic pain. That’s why, in this trying time, it’s crucial to address your symptoms while not amplifying fear and anxiety appropriately.
The government has imposed quarantine as a measure to avoid the spread of the coronavirus. Because of this, people with chronic pain have lost access to many support programs and medicine access. Many patients are left alone to cope on their own.
As such, for patients and their loved ones, it’s vital to know the support and services available to help them. How can patients rationally manage chronic pain amid the quarantine period caused by the coronavirus?
The Main Challenge
Because chronic pain is an often-difficult condition to treat, patients are often vulnerable to developing depression and anxiety. At this time, chronic pain patients face more significant challenges other than the burden of their pain. As we undergo social distancing, there is a higher risk of mental health challenges.
“Chronic pain and mental health disorders are common in the general population, and epidemiological studies suggest that a bidirectional relationship exists between these 2 conditions,” W. Michael Hooten, M.D., of the Division of Pain Medicine, Department of Anesthesiology at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine notes.
But one of the primary concerns is the abrupt reduction of opioid medication availability. It becomes an even more significant problem if there is a total absence of medication—which can then lead to withdrawal syndrome. Drugs are useful in chronic pain treatment, but they may also produce side effects, which a professional should monitor.
This sudden and rapid withdrawal can lead to haze in decision-making. Patients may end up making risky decisions with long-term consequences.
Some states have revised prescribing regulations for certain medications to prevent shortages and to make it easier for patients to obtain it. Physicians are voicing out their concern for potential shortfalls due to adjustments in production and importation. Hence, a lot of doctors are providing alternative strategies and communication channels to provide support for patients.
Though pharmacy generally has enough stock at this time, the fear and anxiety can lead to another concern—hoarding. Potentially, the higher demand for medications can affect the already limited supply. Hoarding medical supplies can have downstream effects individually and to the public health system.
Supports And Services For Chronic Pain Patients During COVID-19
Especially at this time, pain management is vital to prevent and lessen avoidable emergency room visits. If many patients go to the ER, it will defeat the purpose of the imposed quarantine—which is to minimize face-to-face interactions.
The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine has published guidelines on treatments that can go along amid the pandemic.
Regulatory systems have allowed for extended durations of prescription. Here are some alternative treatments to chronic pain amid the global pandemic:
- Dose Tapering
For patients undergoing opioid treatment, discuss with your doctor about the possibility of a dose tapering regimen to safely reduce their requirements. If it’s not possible, you can also ask how you can obtain medication. Your doctor can also come up with an alternative treatment or non-medication-based treatment to manage their pain.
The use of telehealthcare broadens access to services without needing to go to a healthcare facility. Doctors can evaluate chronic pain patients without a direct visit to their clinic. These services include:
– Live audio or video consultations
– Virtual check-ins
– Non-face-to-face communication via patient portals
- Online Exercising Tools
The pandemic may have lessened the regular therapy visits to manage chronic pain, but there are a lot of online tool options. Through these tools, patients can continue to perform exercises at home.
- Online Support Groups
More than ever, patients need access to medical and psychological consultations. Online support groups can also help chronic pain patients remain connected at a time when they feel more isolated. It’s also important to reach out to families and friends to alert them to the caring measure you’re taking. It can also help them prepare in case anything happens to the patient.
During this time, it’s crucial to understand the connection between anxiety, fear, and physical pain. Chronic pain patients need to know how to access help if they need it during this COVID-19 period. Having effective remote pain management under quarantine can restore the sense of calm and control in your system. Just follow the expert-guided exercises to break the pain-fear cycle. Lastly, it’s essential to have support from a positive-minded community who can help you get through this pandemic. | <urn:uuid:38df3ae8-ab26-4df7-8761-b002f0ba0496> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://curepain2015.com/dealing-with-chronic-pain-management-under-quarantine/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571719.48/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812140019-20220812170019-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.94005 | 1,007 | 2.578125 | 3 |

Explanation: This colourful view of the western sky at sunset features last Wednesday's slender crescent Moon. Of course, when the Moon is in its crescent phase it can never be far from the Sun in the sky. Also always close to the Sun in Earth's sky is innermost planet Mercury, seen here below and right of centre against the bright orange glow along the horizon. Mercury is usually difficult to glimpse because of overwhelming sunlight, but increasingly better views of the small planet after sunset will be possible as it wanders farther east of the Sun in the coming days. On January 14th, NASA's MESSENGER spacecraft will have a good view too, as it makes its first Mercury flyby.

From automobile assembly and PCB fabrication, to consumer electronics, robotics is home to some of the most exciting engineering taking place today. Learning about robotics, whether you are an experienced engineer or complete beginner, has never been easier thanks to the application notes, software examples and tutorials available online today.
by Joe Alderson, Technical Marketing Engineer, Farnell element14
The element14 Community, is an encyclopaedic library of information for electronics design engineers and robotics is one of its key technologies. Whatever your preferred embedded platform, be it AVR, PIC or 32-bit ARM, element14 supports a wide range of development boards. This article gives you an overview into some of the most popular boards for motor control and robotics applications.
The Sitara AM3359 ARM Cortex-A8 processor in the newly released BeagleBone Black provides a 1 GHz platform ideal for robotics development. Although the BeagleBone is a “bare bones” version of the BeagleBoard, it features dual 46-pin headers and plenty of industrial communications capability, along with a new addition of HDMI. The BeagleBone Black is much cheaper than the original version and includes Ångström Linux as standard, making it perfect for high-end robotics applications. It even has 512 MB of DDR3 RAM to support most demanding programs.
The BeagleBone Black is capable of not just interfacing to all robotics motor drivers, location or pressure sensors and 2D or 3D cameras, but also running OpenCV, OpenNI and other image collection and analysis software to recognize the objects around robots and the gestures made to control it. BeagleBone Black is supported with a strong community and is fully open-source, meaning you can utilise its design – if you can get to grips with laying out a BGA package.
Whilst not quite as fast as the BeagleBone Black and featuring an different ARM1176JZ-F Applications Processor, the Raspberry Pi can be used to control a robot or even use a GPS module and USB camera to build an intelligent guidance system for
it. With the wide range of expansion boards available for the Raspberry Pi, you can offload many low level tasks to smaller controllers, leaving the main control unit free to focus purely on data processing and task delegation.
In the one year that Raspberry Pi has been available, there have been a large number of robotics applications from around the world, including using the Raspberry Pi to control drones. The Raspberry Pi is also great as a learning tool and boards such as the Gertboard and PiFace Digital are designed to teach motor control and basic robotics. For teaching in schools, the Raspbian operating system makes robotics accessible, whilst the hardware on the Raspberry Pi provides enough GPIO access to make it useful for all but the most demanding robotics projects.
If your robotics project does not require high end Cortex-A series applications processors, and let’s face it, that is probably the case, there are several other options. The Freescale Kinetis Freedom Platform, including the FRDM-KL05Z, FRDM-KL25Z and FRDM-K20D50S boards provide a Cortex-M0+ / Cortex-M4 solution for robotics.
You need two PWM channels to run two motors at different speeds, two to three channels to send 10 µs trigger pulse for Ultrasonic sensors and three to five channels to capture the return pulses from Ultrasonic sensors.
Freescale’s Robot Kit that operates with the Tower System Mechatronics Board is an easy-to-use mechatronics development and demonstration platform. This toolset allows for the science of combining mechanics, electronics, and software into an integrated system.
The Microchip PIC16F684 can be used to create an inverted pendulum robot. By implementing a positional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) feedback control with the PIC16F684 can be used in an inherently unstable system.
An inverted pendulum is used to demonstrate this type of control. The inverted pendulum consists of three main parts: the base platform, the pendulum and the controller board. Although this demonstrates the capabilities of PIC MCUs in simple control systems, PIC32 MCUs are capable of delivering complex robotics control systems. Microchip provide a wide range of software support which is extremely useful in robotics development.
Finally, for a great introduction to the world of robotics, Arduino provides a wide
range of boards. From the 8-bit Atmega328 on the Arduino Uno to the 32-bit SAM3X8E Cortex-M3 on the Due, Arduino provides a massive selection of software examples and an accessible IDE in an open-source model. The Arduino approach of good design and simplicity has led to its popularity in robotics. The challenge of utilising 8-bit AVR MCUs for tasks which you might ordinarily turn to a 32-bit processor for can be rewarding and enlightening.
Some of the development boards for the above robot designs can be designed and created using CadSoft EAGLE. CadSoft recently brought out a new version of its design software EAGLE 6.4 featuring new interoperability features and improved design simulation.

This post is part of our special coverage Languages and the Internet.
UNESCO invites the world to celebrate the International Mother Language Day annually on February 21 to encourage all communities to “promote linguistic and cultural diversity and multilingualism.” According to Koïchiro Matsuura, former UNESCO Director-General:
…Languages constitute an irreducible expression of human creativity in all its diversity. Tools of communication, perception and reflection, they also shape the way we view the world and provide a link between past, present and future. They bear within them the traces of their encounters, the diverse sources from which they have borrowed, each according to its own particular history.”
In recent times when many of the world languages are in risk of extinction, this day reminds many of the importance of mother tongues through the discussion about the need to maintain global cultural diversity as long as possible. Part of these efforts, according to Matsuura, include a primary school in Kosovo that has launched a series of exchanges with students from “different schools and nations”; celebrations with poems, indigenous songs, stories, plays, and a ceremony organized in the Philippines titled, “In the Galaxy of Languages, Every Word is a Star.” This celebration has also been important in Bangladesh, where they have been celebrating the diversity of languages since 1952.
David Galeano Oliveira, in his blog Café Historia [es] supports this idea:
Cada lengua refleja una visión única del mundo y una cultura compleja que refleja la forma en la que una comunidad ha resuelto sus problemas en su relación con el mundo, y en la que ha formulado su pensamiento, su sistema filosófico y el entendimiento del mundo que le rodea. Por eso, con la muerte y desaparición de una lengua, se pierde para siempre una parte insustituible de nuestro conocimiento del pensamiento y de la visión del mundo.
The Ongoing Discussion About What is “Good” Spanish
“We ended up losing…we ended up winning…they took the gold and left us the gold…they took everything and left us everything…they left us the words”
Most Spanish speakers are located in Latin America; of all countries with a majority of Spanish speakers, only Spain and Equatorial Guinea are outside the Americas. For many in the region, Spanish is considered to be their mother tongue based on the long history with Spain. However, the Spanish language differs from country to country, which brings up discussions and debates about origins, forms and “styles”. In the blog Sacando la Lengua [es], I tried to underline the fact that these difference are today a futile matter of discussion:
Hace mucho que nos hemos dado cuenta de que el idioma más que algo abstracto pareciera más bien tomar la forma de un animal salvaje; y como tal, cambia, evoluciona y crece. ¿Se podrá dominar a este animal? Muy buena suerte a los que lo intenten. Una vez preso, cambiará de forma. Observar su belleza traerá seguramente muchos menos cotilleos bizantinos que determinar cuál es la exacta, o cuál es la “correcta” forma de hablar la lengua de Lorca, de las versiones y diversiones de Paz, de la hilarante modestia de Borges y de tantos otros que lo hablan y lo transforman hoy. El español que habla esta inmensa cantidad de gente no es, en efecto, el mismo.
It’s been long since we realized that the language, more than something completely abstract, actually seems to take the shape of a savage animal, and as such, it changes, grows and evolves. Is it possible to tame this beast? Good luck to those who dare to try! Once in the cage, it’ll change its features. Just observing its beauty will be surely the best way to avoid wasting time splitting hairs by pointing out which is the best and most accurate way to speak the language of (Federico García) Lorca, the same one that (Octavio) Paz used in his versions and diversions and in which (Jorge Luis) Borges showed his clever modesty. It is the same language so many people use and change today. The Spanish that this large amount of people speak is not the same.
This same idea is backed up by Viviana Mejenes-Knorr, who wrote as guest editor on the blog Lexiophiles [es]:
Como cualquier otra lengua ampliamente hablada, el español no es uniforme; en cada país hispanohablante y en cada una de sus regiones, se le añaden sazones gramaticales que crean una colorida gama sociolingüística con rasgos léxicos únicos, además de agregarle diversidad a la pronunciación.
Other phenomena explored in the blogosphere is the Spanish used in United States. From Argentina, Pedro Ylarri writes in his Blog del Medio [es] a review of a new encyclopedia of Spanish in USA, which he considers a turning point in the study of this language inside the country. Pedro underlines the study of the influence of youth and its role in this evolution through technology and also gives his thoughts around the expansion of the language through culture, literature and media:
Junto a los medios de comunicación, la producción cultural plasma el empuje del español en todos sus ámbitos: revistas literarias, cuentos, poesía, teatro, música…, toda manifestación artística es rastreada históricamente hasta nuestros días, según distintas nacionalidades y corrientes.
Ante el mundo de la novela, por ejemplo, Mercedes Cortazar y Eduardo Lago nos presentan una perspectiva complementaria, colocándonos respectivamente ante la pista de las posibilidades de la narrativa escrita en español en Estados Unidos, así como ante la existencia de multitud de escritores hispanos que se expresan en inglés.
With the mainstream media, the cultural production captures the force of the Spanish in all its spheres: literary magazines, short stories, poetry, theatre, and music… All artistic expressions are tracked historically to our days, according to the different nationalities and movements.
In the literary world, for example, Mercedes Cortazar y Eduardo Lago (among other Hispanic writers expressing themselves in English) present a complementary perspective and they give us the clue on the possibilities of Spanish narrative in the States.
Posting now from the Philippines, Manolo Pérez, a blogger from Spain, observes with fascination the presence of his language in what he considered a far away land:
Realmente el español nunca se ha ido de Filipinas, se habla poco pero permanece en las lenguas locales y, sobre todo, en la Historia y en los archivos de este país, en su literatura, etc. Más que de la vuelta del español hay que hablar de la vuelta de la enseñanza del español.
Este sigue siendo un país de sorpresas y para un español más.
The Spanish language never left the Philippines. It’s not widely spoken, but it still seen in local languages and, most of all, in the history of the country and its literature. More than the return of the Spanish, we should discuss more the return of this language in education.
This is a country full of surprises, even more for a Spaniard.
The Conquest of the Spanish Language and its “Adoption” in the New World
For others in Latin America, one's mother tongue is relative. A brief historical review is summarized in Salon Hogar [es] about this spread of the Spanish language in a region where many languages had already been present. The diversity of languages in America was -and still is- immense. Some authors point out that this continent is the most fragmented, from the linguistic point of view, with more than a hundred families of languages, inside which there are also tens or even hundreds of dialects and languages. Nonetheless, some of the most important languages coming from indigenous communities are still alive, given the number of speakers or its influence in the Spanish. Languages like Nahuatl, Taino, Maya, Quechua, Aymara, Guarani and Mapuche are some of the most important examples.
When Christopher Columbus arrived to America in 1492, the Spanish language was already consolidated in Iberian Peninsula and it started a new process in the New World with the crossbreeding and the influence of the Catholic Church. The mixture was very complex, given the diversity, not only of the indigenous communities, but also that of the Spanish that settled in the land.
Many groups are promoting the preservation of their native languages, for example the blog Information Mapuche Chile [es]; in which it is underlined the importance of maintaining of indigenous languages:
La oportunidad de utilizar y transmitir el pensamiento y tradiciones en sus lenguas originarias representa no sólo un derecho cultural, sino que una herramienta esencial para asegurar el conocimiento de los derechos humanos. Según datos de la UNESCO, el 90% de todas las lenguas del mundo desaparecerían en los próximos 100 años.
In the blog Espacio Verde [es], a Mexican community working for environmental development, a video is shared in which is seen the linguistic richness of the country.
Also, communities like Jaqi-Aru, a group of multilingual bloggers in El Alto, Bolivia , are engaged to the promotion of Aymara language in Internet. This group is devoted, thus, to protect the evolution of their own language. Through translation projects and blogging in their native tongue, Jaqi-Aru looks to contribute with the enrichment of the Aymara language in cyberspace.
In the end, UNESCO's celebration aims to promote the value of each language resulting in the intercultural exchanges. As language represents a cultural door to a new way of thinking and an interpretation of the world. Its main objective is to respect and promote the conservation of such expressions and give them a space in a world that, now more than ever, needs to exchange views, thoughts and grow in its intercultural relations.

Marjorie Ruth Hawksworth
Marjorie R. Hawksworth, a major force in saving the Wilcox Property (now Douglas Preserve) as public open space, died Monday morning, September 8th. Marjorie also helped to preserve the Mesa Lane Eucalyptus trees. Facing a chronic lung condition, Marjorie, who had turned 86 in February, was someone who lived and died valiantly. Her four children – William, Wendy, Lauren, and Eric – were privileged to have had her love and support throughout their lives. And to be with her during her hospitalization, after a fall at home mid August, until her death. We thank her attending doctors, and her caregivers at Cottage Hospital and Mission Terrace. She died with dignity. We especially thank the Reverend Dr. Alan Strout, First United Methodist Church, who assisted her with her spiritual journey.
In addition to being an environmental advocate, Marjorie was a published poet, visual artist, teacher, and role model. She walked the walk not just talked it. She taught English at San Marcos High School for seventeen years and influenced the lives of many students. One of Marjorie’s innovations at San Marcos was a course in Pop Poetry. A Barnard College (Columbia University) graduate, Marjorie was born in North White Plains, New York, February 16th, 1922, to William and Eulalie Ullman (nee Beaird).
Marjorie met her husband, William Douglas Hawksworth, of Yorkshire, England, at a U.S.O. dance during World War II. He was in the British Merchant Marines, running convoys to Great Britain, and she was working in New York City. They married in May of 1946, settling in Santa Barbara ten years later. The couple’s older two children, William and Wendy, were born in White Plains, New York. Lauren and Eric were born locally at Cottage Hospital. Since 1957, the Hawksworth have had family homes on the Mesa. Marjorie’s son William designed and built two of these homes with Eric assisting. Marjorie’s husband, Bill, was at first a union housepainter, locally, and then the Business Agent and the Executive Secretary of the Painter and Decorator Union. Bill died of lung cancer at age 49 (1966) and Marjorie obtained a Secondary Teaching Credential from U.C. Santa Barbara, that same year, in order to support her children. She taught at San Marcos High School from 1967 to 1984.
During her retirement, Marjorie took up painting and exhibited with the Goleta Valley and Santa Barbara Art Associations. She also had solo shows of her work and a joint show at Antioch University with her daughter Lauren, also a talented painter.
As a poet, Marjorie was published in journals and magazines such as Poetry Northwest, The New York Quarterly, and The Paris Review. In the 1970s she was awarded the Emily Dickinson Award by the Poetry Society of America. More recently, she was honored by the Arts Fund of Santa Barbara with an Individual Artist Award in Poetry, in 2005. She gave a public reading in conjunction with this award in January of 2006 and continued to submit poems for publication up until her hospitalization.
One of Marjorie’s favorite poets was Gerard Manley Hopkins, whose works she could recite from memory. “Glory be to God for dappled things. . He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change: Praise him.”
Marjorie’s graveside service was September 12th at 1:30pm at the Santa Barbara Cemetery, with the First United Methodist Church officiating. A reception followed. | <urn:uuid:770e5f79-3541-439a-a6a9-05013e0498b4> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.independent.com/obits/2008/09/15/marjorie-hawksworth/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.983229 | 775 | 1.609375 | 2 |

below (one's) breath
Quietly. Often used to describe an aside that one has muttered. What did you just said below your breath? Come on, say it to my face! He's always saying things below his breath, and it gets on my nerves! Why can't he just speak up with some confidence?

Positive Behavior Intervention Support
BUILDING EXPECTATIONS AND DISCIPLINE POLICY
The Malley Drive staff is committed to helping all students develop appropriate social behaviors and good citizenship skills. Clear, timely, and consistently applied methods help provide a safe learning environment in which all children can learn. The Malley Drive staff is committed to the Positive Behavior Intervention Support or PBIS Program for developing and implementing a positive behavioral system. This program has eight practices of school-wide Positive Behavior Intervention Support which are:
- Establish Administrative Leadership
- Develop Team-Based Implementation
- Define Behavioral Expectations which are concrete positive behaviors that every student can remember
- Teach Behavioral Expectations
- Acknowledge and reward appropriate behavior
- Monitor and correct behavioral errors
- Use information for decision making
- Build parent collaboration
Primary Discipline Responsibilities
Primary responsibility for discipline will rest with the instructional staff:
- Classroom teachers will handle incidents within the classroom and transition times
- Outside the classroom, any teacher will discipline a child who is inappropriate and may not be under the direct supervision of his/her regular teacher
- Major or on-going infractions will be referred to the school administrator
Positive Reinforcement Programs
Mustang Bucks—Students will receive “Mustang Bucks” for academic achievement, positive behaviors, good citizenship or any other behavior that positively represents the Malley Drive expectations. The Mustang Bucks will be turned in for rewards at our Mustang Corral on a regular basis.
Stang Stamps—Classes earning Stang Stamps have opportunities to earn positive rewards such as extra recess. As classes, they decide on their reward once they receive stamps in increments of 10.
Positive Office Referrals– Students are nominated by staff members for Positive Office Referrals when they go above and beyond Malley’s expectations. They will receive a scented pencil and eraser. | <urn:uuid:4c7c2b44-8e5e-4b24-a34a-354646498a9f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://malley.adams12.org/resources/pbis | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.902801 | 393 | 1.976563 | 2 |
Modern Botany Herb Garden Update
Modern Botany Oil, A Gardener’s Little Helper
It’s that time of year when we are busily preparing the ground for our medicinal herb growing.
Over the past 5 years we have been growing test crops on our Modern Botany farm and using these extracts in our Research and Development for new product development.
Last year was the first year that we were delighted to incorporate our home-grown Roman Chamomile; German Chamomile and Calendula extracts into our formulations.
It was our dream from the very start when establishing Modern Botany, to grow as much of our key ingredients as possible that span across our product range. To achieve this plan, we are also growing other test crop species that we want to incorporate into our supply chain over the next 2-3 years.
Working with our local horticulture advisor we have built up a comprehensive methodology of best practice for growing our 3 main herbs from our test crop learning outcomes over the past 5 years., including regenerative farming practice, and incorporating elements of biodynamic farming.
For instance, our Roman Chamomile is a perennial therefore it comes back every year. This is growing in our ’no dig’ section. We will shortly plant out new seedlings of German Chamomile and Calendula in furrows, planting on dates that correspond to the biodynamic calendar for optimal results.
At this time of year, we prepare the herb furrows, such as weeding the Roman Chamomile furrows, prune its overgrown stems and fertilize with organic materials, such as our homemade seaweed broth or our Comfrey tea.
This year we will also create new furrows for the Calendula and German Chamomile seedlings which will increase our ‘no dig section’ in line with our regenerative farming ethos. The seedlings are slowly growing in the polytunnel and when they are robust enough, we will put out in furrows around mid-May.
In the interim and for better weed management, we burn off the baby weeds with a flame thrower. This is the most organic method of weed control, as we do not use pesticides or herbicides. We then fill the areas around the furrows with old wood bark (mulch) which keeps the weeds at bay.
Between now and July, when the plants start to flower it’s just a case of maintaining the beds until they are ready for harvesting. This is our favourite time of year where both Modern Botany and the bees reap the goodness of all our labours. | <urn:uuid:1376688d-562a-4658-bb68-a3b8ef477c65> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.modernbotany.com/en-fr/blogs/modern-botanist-journal/herb-garden-update | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.925808 | 536 | 1.65625 | 2 |
Editor’s Note: This is excerpted from John van de Laar’s work Just Living – A Liturgical Guide to Everyday Justice. You can find more information here or on his site sacredise.com. Photo by Dan Meyers on Unsplash
He has told you, human one, what is good and what the Lord requires from you: to do justice, embrace faithful love, and walk humbly with your God. (CEB)
If caterpillars knew what lay ahead, I wonder if butterflies would even exist. Apparently, new imaginal cells begin to emerge in the caterpillar’s body shortly after it enters the chrysalis. At first the caterpillar’s immune system views them as invaders, and sets out to destroy them. But in time, the imaginal cells overpower this immune response, and the caterpillar is reduced to a kind of goo which then feeds the cells so that they can create the butterfly which is to emerge.
This awe-inspiring metamorphosis offers a striking metaphor for human transformation. Both societies and individuals experience radical change first as a kind of disintegration and only later as an improved reality. The disintegration feels just like a battle between imaginal cells, that carry the image of the new reality, and the old cells that seek to maintain the status quo, and it leaves us feeling rather like that amorphous goo that was once a caterpillar.
Why You Matter
One of the most important imaginal cells that can emerge within our personal and collective consciousness is the one that tells us that we matter. Too many of us go through life with total blindness to our own value—a blindness that is reinforced by religions that make feeling worthless a spiritual virtue. Yet every one of us has a deep and basic need to feel seen, known, and appreciated. When this need is met, we become more whole, peaceful, and resilient in the face of life’s challenges. When it remains unmet, we become increasingly unhealthy, broken, and even destructive to ourselves and those around us.
One of the primary tasks of spirituality is to convince us that we do matter and have dignity simply because we are. There’s the famous story of the little black boy who was told by an arrogant white man that he was worthless. He stood as tall as he could, looked the man in the eye, and proudly stated, “I know I’m somebody because God don’t make no junk!”
When the realisation that we matter sinks into our souls, we can often find ourselves responding in two ways: firstly, we recognise that other people have to matter as much as we do and secondly, we recognise that the world does not value all people equally. The result of these insights is that we may be moved to join the effort to make our world more just and equitable for all. This, of course, is exactly what our spiritual practice is designed to do and it leads to another level of understanding about our value.
Why Else You Matter
It’s a strange truth that for most of us, it is not enough to know that we matter simply because we exist. We also need to know that we will be missed and remembered because our lives have mattered to someone. It is when we believe that our lives make no difference to anyone that we doubt our worth and fall into despair.
This is immensely important, because nothing can change in the world without people who seek to change it—even if only for the sake of one other person. And this is the purpose of our spirituality. It convinces us of our value and then of the value of all others. Then, using our need to matter to someone, it moves us to live a life of justice by making some contribution to the betterment of the world. If we are ever to create a just, compassionate, and peaceful society every such small contribution matters.
Another famous story tells of a boy on the beach where a whole shoal of starfish had come aground. A man watched as the boy picked up a starfish and threw it back into the sea, then picked up another, and another. Finally the man said to the boy, “There are too many. You’re not going to make any difference.” To which the boy replied, holding up the starfish in his hand, “It will make a difference to this one!’
It Matters To Matter
If our lives are to be fulfilled, meaningful, connected, and whole we need to know that we matter, that we are intrinsically valuable, and that we make a difference to the world. If our world is ever to become more unified and equal then we need to know that we all matter and that our contribution helps toward the healing of our society.
Spirituality that makes us feel worthless is not just unhelpful. It is evil. Spirituality that is only about individuals gaining entry to some future heaven is not just selfish. It is cruel. Authentic spirituality always connects us ever more deeply with the divine energy and human dignity within us and all people (and also in non-human beings) and with our unique capacity to leave the world a little better off—because it matters that we matter, and it matters that we know that we matter. That is what will ultimately motivate us to live justly in whatever small ways we can each day. In a time such as the one in which we now live, this simple but profound truth makes all the difference.

A Hamilton employment lawyer is an individual who is competent in the fields of labour laws, including human resources management and law. Labour laws are the ones that mediate the relationship among employers, employees, trade unions and the state. Collective bargaining human resource laws refers to the relationship among employer, employee and trade union in labour disputes. Individual labour laws concerns the rights of employees in the workplace and through the collective contract for employment.
A Hamilton, Ontario employment lawyer has the expertise to represent both employers and employees. They know that both have interests that are similar but there are differences as well. For example, most employers will hire temp labour when they do not need a permanent worker, while some employees will challenge this. The main objective of the lawyers is to ensure that the laws and the rights of the employees are protected.
The main role of the employment lawyer is to represent their clients in negotiations with the other side. They have an idea how to get the best deals for their clients, ensuring that both the employer and the employee get what they deserve. Most employers and employees are happy when the employment laws are followed because they receive fair compensation for the work they put in. There are times when both sides can settle the dispute peacefully. However, sometimes the case gets heated and court hearings may be necessary. If it is necessary for them to represent their clients in court, the employment law attorney must be skilled and knowledgeable enough.
There are cases where both sides reach an agreement that will be accepted by the court without going to court. This is usually the case when the employers and employees agree on various terms and conditions concerning working. Sometimes, the courts have to approve or reject the terms. An employment lawyer is the person who analyzes the case and prepares the arguments and evidences that the client needs to present in court. It is very important that the client has the best interests at heart so that he/she does not end up losing the case because of doing something that was wrong.
Good employment lawyers will always protect their clients’ legal rights and will negotiate in the best interest of the employees. Good attorneys will not pressure their clients to sign any documents that they do not feel comfortable with. The best employment lawyers will represent their clients in court even if the employer tries to avoid paying the amount they are entitled to.
There are employment lawyers who specialize in particular fields of employment law. For example, there are employment lawyers who handle labor laws, such as the minimum wage laws and overtime laws. These lawyers will also be familiar with the other employment laws. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a person who is an expert in his/her field. | <urn:uuid:3465bf68-d72a-4965-9a50-516847018f6a> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.municipaldata-donneesmunicipales.ca/2021/09/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573399.40/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818185216-20220818215216-00072.warc.gz | en | 0.974137 | 532 | 1.679688 | 2 |
Environmental Advocates NY & EPL/Environmental Advocates: Scorecard Scoring
For more than 40 years, Environmental Advocates NY has issued memos in support of, or opposition to, bills that impact the environment. Environmental Advocates’ sister organization EPL/Environmental Advocates tracks lawmakers’ votes on these bills and publishes an annual Scorecard, a comprehensive look at legislators’ environmental voting records. Scorecard scores are based on two sets of criteria:
- floor votes on bills memoed and rated by Environmental Advocates NY; and
- support for Super Bills.
SCORING SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Floor Votes: Trees & Smokestacks
Environmental Advocates issues memos on environmental bills using a tree and smokestack rating system. Bills are rated according to their potential impact, either beneficial or detrimental, on New York’s environment.
The rating system is designed to place appropriate emphasis on each bill. Legislators can earn between 1 and 3 points for votes in support of bills rated as 1-, 2- or 3-tree bills. Likewise, legislators can earn between 1 and 3 points for votes against bills given a rating of 1, 2 or 3 smokestacks. Floor votes on all rated bills are tracked and totaled; weighted scores are then calculated for each legislator.
Legislators who miss votes on more than 20 percent of the environmental bills included in the Scorecard will receive a score of “incomplete” (I). Lawmakers who vote on 80 percent or more of these bills will be scored. Please note that incomplete scores will not be factored into house averages.
Most bill memos are issued when legislation first appears on a committee agenda. Position statements on bills rated by Environmental Advocates are distributed to lawmakers and posted to the Bill Memos section of our website at www.eany.org.
Legislators’ scores will be affected by action on the priority Super Bills whether or not they receive a floor vote. The Super Bills are considered 3-tree bills for weighting purposes.
The Super Bills are identified by the Green Panel which includes the leaders of more than a dozen of New York’s environmental organizations. The Green Panel reserves the right to add a Super Bill during the legislative session, or to remove a bill if it is no longer worthy of Super Bill status.
Legislators can earn points for Super Bills as follows:
Floor vote in favor. If a legislator votes for a Super Bill when it reaches the floor, the lawmaker will be recognized as having voted for a 3-tree bill.
Becoming law. If a Super Bill is passed by both houses and is signed into law by the Governor, all legislators who voted for the bill will receive 2 additional bonus points.
Budget action. If substantively similar language is included in the state budget that meets the stated goals of any one of the Super Bills, and is signed into law by the Governor, all legislators will receive full credit (3 points).
If a Super Bill does not receive a floor vote, lawmakers are still scored.
Legislators earn credit for supporting Super Bills as follows:
Co-sponsoring. Lawmakers will receive half credit (1.5 points for a 3-tree bill) for any Super Bills they sponsor or cosponsor. Environmental Advocates NY encourages legislators to immediately contact bill sponsors in order to receive cosponsorship credit in our scoring system. Those who request to be added as a cosponsor to a bill, but are not recognized as cosponsors, may earn credit if they forward a copy of the buck/blue slip to EPL/Environmental Advocates.
Committee votes. Lawmakers will receive half credit (1.5 points for a 3-tree bill) if they vote in favor of a Super Bill in committee. All sitting members of a committee considering a Super Bill during session have the opportunity to receive points for their support. If a legislator sits on more than one committee considering a Super Bill, points will be assigned based on the lawmaker’s most recent action on the bill. A Super Bill cosponsor who fails to vote in favor of that bill in committee will not receive points.
Please note that these points are not cumulative with the exception of the bonus points that will be awarded in the event that a bill becomes law. Points will be assigned at the conclusion of the legislative session based on the last action on a Super Bill.
For example, if a legislator cosponsors a bill, and the bill passes in that house, points will be assigned only for the bill passed (3 points). However, if the bill is later signed by the Governor, 2 bonus points will be awarded (3 + 2 = 5). Legislators who do not act on the Super Bills will not receive points.
Environmental Advocates looks forward to working with you during this legislative session to protect New York’s natural resources and the health of our families.

Joseph A. Cacibauda Jr.
Joseph “Mr. Joe” Anthony Cacibauda Jr. was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. He began playing music in a family band at the age of twelve. Joe has his B.M. Ed and M.M. Ed. from Southeastern Louisiana University at Hammond, Louisiana He completed some graduate studies in music at LSU and USM. Mr. Cacibauda came to Ocean Springs as Director of Bands in March 1984. Prior to arrival here, he was Director of Bands at Bay High in Bay St. Louis (1972-1977), St. Martin High School (1977-1978), Biloxi School Dist. (1979 – March 1984). Mr. Joe continues to play professionally and is the Chairman of the Fine Arts Department at Ocean Springs.(Joe Cacibauda Jr., January 2, 2006)
In April 2010, Joe Cacibauda was named 'Mississippi's 2009 Director Who Makes a Difference' by School Band and Orchestra magazine. Mr. Cacibauda has led the Blue-Gray Pride for twenty-five years and has thirty-seven years in applied music education.(The Sun Herald, April 11, 210, p. A17)
Mr. Joseph “Mr. Joe” Anthony Cacibauda died peacefully at his home in Ocean Springs on Monday, Sept. 21, 2020, with his loving wife and children at his side.
Mr. Joe – as he was known to most – was born in New Orleans, La., as the youngest child of the late Lillian and Joseph Cacibauda Sr. A musician from the very beginning, his father purchased him a set of drums when he was 10 and by the time he was 12, he was playing in weddings with a group of his cousins who were in need of a drummer. By 15, he was playing in nightclubs in the New Orleans area with his cousins.
Joe would go on to know and play with some of the greats, including B.B. King, Willie Nelson, Leon Kelner, Joan Rivers, Rich Little, Don Rickles, Regis Philbin, Mel Tormé, and The Platters, but teaching music to generations of students would become his life’s work.
Joe earned both Bachelor’s and Masters degrees in Music Education from Southeastern Louisiana and, in 1972, became the band director at Bay High School in Bay St. Louis, Miss. – starting what would become a 43-year career sharing his passion for music. Stints with St. Martin High School and Michele Junior High in Biloxi would follow.
Joe left an impact everywhere he went, but his greatest legacy will forever be at Ocean Springs High School. When he took over the program in 1984, there were 38 students in the high school band and just 85 in all grades. By the time he retired in 2015, there were 274 in the high school band, with nearly 700 in the band program in grades 6-12.The Blue-Grey Pride band -- a name Joe coined himself after arriving in Ocean Springs -- received All-Superior recognition, the highest a band can achieve, in 28 of his 31 years at OSHS. Additionally, the All-Superior sweepstakes award was launched in 2007, and Joe's band earned that distinction all eight years prior to his retirement.
In addition, 100 percent of the students who came out of Joe's band program had the opportunity for junior or senior college scholarships, if they chose to pursue them. In May of 2015, when Joe conducted his final concert at OSHS, it was announced the school’s band hall would be renamed in his honor.
Away from school, Joe was an avid baseball fan and a lifelong New York Yankees fan. He also loved all things Disney and particularly enjoyed his many trips to Walt Disney World, both with the band for performances and with his family.
But for all Joe’s passions and interests, there was no greater love in his life than his family. He and his wife, Rose Van Acker-Cacibauda married in 1986 and are the parents of three children: son, JT and daughters, Alexa and Zoe Cacibauda of whom he was immensely proud.
At the time of his retirement, Joe was asked about his plans. “I’ll be around,” he said – and he was right. Every time a student walks into the band hall bearing his name, every time a former student passes along his or her love of music, every time a band director at Ocean Springs High School collects an All-Superior trophy or other award, it will be because of Joe Cacibauda’s lasting impact on his school, students, and community.
He is preceded in death by his parents, Lillian and Joseph Cacibauda Sr.; and his sisters, Eliza Loyacano and Antoinette Harper.
He is survived by his wife, Rose; his children, JT, Alexa, and Zoe; his sister, Patricia Harder; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews.
Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, Joe’s family will be holding a private service, but recognizing the number of people who want to honor and celebrate his life, details regarding a public memorial service will be announced at a later date.
The family would also like to thank Dr. Brian Persing, Nicholas Pendleton, Hospice of Light, and all those who provided for Joe’s care.
In addition, in lieu of flowers, a band scholarship in Joe’s honor will be established, with details on that also to follow.
Bradford-O’Keefe Funeral Home, Ocean Springs is honored to serve this family.

Marx, observer of the evolution of human societies
The concept of social class was not invented by Karl Marx. It was used by the founders of political economy (Adam Smith…) and in the tradition of French political history (Alexis de Tocqueville), as well as by historians of the French Revolution (Guizot, Mignet, Thierry). For the English classics, the criteria of class identity lie in the origin of income: to the three types of income, ground rent, profit, and wages, correspond the three great groups of the nation, the landowners, contractors and workers.
For Tocqueville, the term classe is political and exists as soon as social groups compete for control of society. Marx therefore borrows from the classical economists the implicit idea of classes as a factor of production, and from historians the classes, and their conflict as producers of history. However, Karl Marx adds to the concept of social classes its intrinsic status of struggle: without struggles there are no classes. Social classes are perpetual historically determined struggles. Marx himself notes his contribution to the understanding of social classes:
“Now, as far as I’m concerned, it’s not my credit for discovering the existence of classes in modern society, nor their struggle within it. Bourgeois historians had exposed the historical development of this class struggle long before me, and bourgeois economists had described its economic anatomy. What I have brought new is: to demonstrate that the existence of classes is linked only to determinate historical phases of the development of production; that the class struggle necessarily leads to the dictatorship of the proletariat; that this dictatorship itself represents only a transition towards the abolition of all classes and towards a classless society.”
For Marx, social classes are inscribed in social reality. Their struggles determine social change as an enduring phenomenon. Classes result from a very general mechanism of division of labor, which developed at the same time as the private appropriation of the means of production. Classes emerge when the differentiation of tasks and functions ceases to be random and becomes hereditary. There is a tendency towards bipolarization between two antagonistic classes. The antagonism between the classes is the motor of any transformation which affects the functioning of the social organization and modifies the course of its history. According to Marx the capitalist production process creates two positions: that of the exploiter and the exploited. Individual behaviors and collective actions are explained by these positions in the reproduction of the system. Class conflict is a cultural feature of society. Conflicts are the main driver of major social changes. Marx is interested in the endogenous factors of change, that is to say those that arise from the very functioning of society.
Productive forces, social relations of production and mode of production
Each society can be characterized at a given time by its mode of production.
A mode of production is a set made up of the productive forces and the social relations of production. At each stage of social evolution, the mode of production reflects a state of society. The mode of production is social because without the productive forces there can be no question of production. The mode of production cannot therefore be reduced to its technical aspect alone. The productive forces include the instruments of production, the labor force of men, the objects of work, the knowledge and techniques in force, the organization of work. During these production activities, people form social relationships with each other. The mode of production is one of Marx’s fundamental concepts. The succession of modes of production can be schematized as follows: from primitive communism we pass to the slave, feudal, capitalist mode of production, and finally socialist / communist (the two terms are then synonymous). In communist society, productive contribution may apply the principle summed up in the formula: “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. However, Marx is part of a dialectical thought, contrary to the mechanism present in previous materialisms, that is to say that he sees consciousness as a determining role in the unfolding of history. It is thanks to consciousness that the proletariat is transformed from a class in itself into a class for itself, that is, it becomes a class conscious of its class interests: to socialize the means of production [socialism ] with the aim of developing the productive forces to the maximum until the profusion of goods, the extinction of class differences and the dissolution of all political power during the transitional phase of the dictatorship of the proletariat. History remains a sum of contingencies subject to the vagaries of the class struggle. History is therefore not a linear evolutionism between modes of production but a dialectical transformation with at its center the taking of a class consciousness grappling with the fluctuations of class struggles at given moments in history.
As they develop, the productive forces increasingly come into contradiction with the social relations of production, which do not evolve at the same pace. Beyond a certain threshold, the system is blocked. An epoch of social revolution begins, the function of which is to make the old relations of production disappear in order to allow the development of relations more in conformity with the level reached by the productive forces.
Accumulation of capital, labor and surplus labor, alienation
The primitive accumulation of capital is defined as the process of creating the conditions for the birth of capitalism. The production of capitalism presupposes two preconditions. It is about the existence of a social category, made up of men deprived of the means of production and forced to sell their labor power, and about the accumulation of wealth essential to create capitalist-type enterprises. The conditions necessary for the birth of two fundamental classes of capitalist society must therefore be met.
Accumulation takes on great importance with the advent of the industrial revolution. The distinction between labor and labour-power is central to the analysis of distribution. What the worker sells is his labour-power. Its remuneration is established at a level which corresponds to the expenditure socially necessary to ensure its renewal. It is a commodity like any other whose value is determined by the amount of social labor required for production. What is advanced here is also based on the Aristotelian theory of the commodity which distinguishes use value (what the object represents for those who use it) from exchange value (what the object allows you to acquire). In the process of exchange there is therefore an inversion of exchange-value and use-value; thus, the currency of exchange is a commodity whose only use value is its exchange value. Adam Smith’s diagram of the law of supply and demand also accounts for the existence of an added value to the product of which the capitalist benefits but not the worker. Indeed, wages are derived from the social value of the object produced (the social value of the object produced depends on the raw materials, the production tools and the labor required for its production). The exchange value of a product is this social value, to which we apply a surplus often resulting from overwork. It is around the benefit of this added value that the class struggle takes shape because both proletarians and capitalists wish to attract it to themselves; Marx will show that the worker is fully entitled to claim the benefit of this added value as it is the use value of labor itself. What the capitalist does, therefore, is to make labor a commodity which costs less than what it brings in.
Now, labor power has the characteristic of giving more work than its maintenance requires. Surplus value is the additional value produced by the wage earner that the capitalist appropriates for free and legally. The increase in this surplus value for the capitalist can be obtained by prolonging the working day, by increasing its intensity, or by lowering the wage obtained by unemployment which puts downward pressure on wages. Surplus value is the form of spoliation of the proletarian under capitalism.
Profit is the modified form of surplus value which manifests as surplus. It is the search for profit that constitutes the main motive of capitalism. Activities are only developed if they are profitable and profitability depends on the rate of profit obtained (ratio between profit and all capital invested).
Capital can accumulate because the productive cycle of a capitalist system implies that capital, in the form of money, makes it possible to create a good which itself will be exchanged for more money. Thus, if A is money and C the commodity, the fundamental cycle of capitalism is A-C-A’, with A’ as an end in itself, and not C-A-C, as is the case with Aristotle.
The accumulation of capital leads to a long-term decline in the rate of profit, hence a downward trend in the rate of profit. It is an index of the historical limits of capitalism. If modernization has the explicit goal of increasing surplus value, there is an increasing substitution between “dead labor” and “living labor”. However, it is only living labor that creates value, dead labor being capital that comes to life only through labor power. From the over-accumulation of capital (excess accumulation) will result the impoverishment of the working class. Capitalism is a victim of its own logic. He is less and less able to manage his contradictions and is heading towards an inevitable crisis.
Marxist labor theory
Work is not only the transformation of a natural given (because we could then also find it in animals), it implies above all a faculty of representation. The way in which Marx will account for this activity is totally Aristotelian insofar as it begins with the representation of an end, thereby showing that the end is at the same time a principle. The work is therefore first of all a comprehensive representation which understands the purpose of the object and differs in this from the animal (the squirrel preserves the hazelnuts by instinct and not by representation without that he would have already built hazelnut freezers). The product of human labor (a redundant expression by the way) must therefore ideally exist in the representation of the worker, in other words the work ideally aims at an object which would fulfill a function perfectly.
In Chapter VII of Capital, Karl Marx therefore takes up this Aristotelian schema in which he makes the worker the one who subordinates himself to the end he has given himself. Work is therefore such that the individual identifies with and recognizes himself in what he has done: by acting, by working, man implements his own faculties, discovers his power of conceptualization and can improve hence its production capacity. Intelligence is therefore revealed by this activity insofar as man actualizes his own faculties in his work, which induces a process of identification: in the products of work, the individual therefore finds a part of his identity. As work participates in the identity of the individual, we can say that work is not only to have it (i.e. to produce) but also to be, in this there is therefore a properly ontological dimension of work.
This is why Marx accuses the industrial and capitalist mode of production of alienating the workers. Indeed, the worker no longer has, in this case, a comprehensive representation of what he is doing since he is unaware of the final product and therefore the reason for his activity. The issue related to identity is therefore canceled here since the only issue is that of remuneration. What is human thereby becomes animal, stemming from a reflex, a mechanical automatism (cf. the film Modern Times by Charlie Chaplin).
In this sense, one can understand the abolition of slavery, not for moral concerns but for economic concerns because it was more expensive to maintain men in servitude within the framework of slavery than in that of wage labor (cf. the film Queimada by Gillo Pontecorvo with Marlon Brando).
For Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, “the history of all human societies up to the present day is only the history of the class struggle” (although in a later note Engels nuance this assertion).
Marx defines the essential elements that constitute a social class. The position of the individual in the relations of production (worker or exploiter) is, according to him, the main element that allows the definition of social class. At the same time, Marx held that for there to truly be a class, there must be class consciousness: the consciousness of having a common place in society. Marx noted that it is not enough for many people to be side by side on the same economic level for a class spirit to form. According to Marx, the central actors of the class struggle are, in the capitalist era, the bourgeois and the proletarians. Communism is for him the state of society rid of divisions into social classes, and therefore a society without class struggle.
According to Marxist analysis, the ruling class organizes society by protecting its privileges as best as possible. For this, it establishes the state, the political instrument of its domination: a police and an army responsible for maintaining security and public order, the “bourgeois” order. Marx also speaks of “the dominant ideology”. In any society there are certain ideas, beliefs and values that dominate social and cultural life. These dominant ideas are essentially produced by the dominant class. Consequently, these ideas mainly express the domination of this class, that is to say justify it and strive to perpetuate it. These dominant ideas permeate the minds, and thus the exploited often have a vision of the world that goes against their real interests.
Karl Marx did not “invent” the class struggle. In reality, the class struggle was theorized long before him. The fundamental contribution of Marx, in relation to these historians, is to have demonstrated that the class struggle did not die out in the French Revolution, but that it was prolonged in the bourgeois/proletarian opposition to the capitalist era. Thus the end of the class struggle would be reached once the social classes are extinct, in communism.

The choice of tactics for the treatment of migraine depends on the frequency and severity of headaches. In patients who do not abuse drugs, but suffer from frequent weak and rare, but severe headaches (for example, with a combination of migraines with tension headaches), prophylactic and emergency treatment may also be effective.
When to treat a migraine?
In general, patients usually notice greater relief from treating low-intensity headaches. For this reason, patients should be advised to start treatment in the early stages of a headache attack, rather than waiting for the development of severe debilitating headaches, drastically reducing work capacity.
Allodynia is an important clinical sign of severe migraine. When a patient develops allodynia in a migraine attack (for example, a feeling of pain in the scalp, pain when wearing glasses or headphones, is more sensitive to touch, pressure, heat or cold), it significantly reduces the effectiveness of pain relief.
For example, the use of sumatriptan in a migraine attack before the onset of symptoms of allodynia is effective in 93% of patients, and with the development of signs of allodynia – only in 15%.
It is noteworthy, but in patients with the rapid development of allodynia in migraine attacks, which cannot be controlled by triptans, intravenous administration of ketorolac is effective. And patients who did not respond to ketorolac therapy had a long-term experience with opioids. Proved that long-term use of opioids activates neurogenic mechanisms that inhibit the action of drugs relieving migraine pain. Based on this information, the following recommendations have been developed:
• triptans should be used at the very beginning of a migraine attack – until clinical signs of allodynia appear;
• symptomatic treatment for developed allodynia, or additional therapy, should include cyclooxygenase-1 or -2 inhibitors, such as ketorolac or indomethacin;
• opioid administration to migraine sufferers should be strictly limited. | <urn:uuid:00907a54-cf5d-49b6-9c35-87f481226c74> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://stop-headaches-now.com/blog/the-scheme-principles-of-the-treatment-of-migraine-when-to-treat-a-migraine/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571097.39/warc/CC-MAIN-20220810010059-20220810040059-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.911247 | 412 | 3 | 3 |
Dental industry experts call for entry to every single patient’s entire digital well being history – including laboratory check effects and latest prescriptions – so they can give the best care attainable care that is harmless for the client, promotes preventive management and enhances dental therapy outcomes.
This unprecedented access would help all varieties of dental professionals, like typical dentists, oral surgeons, periodontists, prosthodontists, endodontists, hygienists and others. A new multi-research venture from the Regenstrief Institute and Indiana College College of Dentistry has determined that information from patients’ clinical records is frequently not out there to oral well being practitioners in both an effortless-to-use or timely method.
The dental informatics scientists verified that requested professional medical information and facts normally is faxed from a clinical facility to the dental business office. Faxes, often unreadable when obtained, typically are scanned into the patient’s dental record. The scientists discovered that, generally, the faxed details arrived in 7 to 10 times, though in the review, 30 % took even longer.
Oral wellbeing practitioners may possibly require to confirm a record of health-related concerns for case in point, that there is no contraindication to a client sitting down in a chair for a prolonged method or irrespective of whether a affected individual is getting any medicine that could put them at chance for excessive bleeding through a tooth extraction or other course of action. In this working day and age of electronic knowledge transmissions in banking, shopping and other professional fields, should wellbeing professionals even now be relying on inefficient, paper-based approaches for sharing client details?“

Demand for advanced dental care is escalating because of to folks residing longer with persistent illnesses like HIV and the growing quantity of more mature grownups with organic teeth. For these patients, info from their health care file may perhaps be particularly essential to suitable dental remedy.
The researcher-clinicians found that the health-related information and facts most frequently requested by a dental place of work to finalize treatment method conclusions and procedure timing had been affected person diabetic issues status and history of blood sugar amounts. Figuring out this details aids oral wellbeing industry experts rule out any contraindication to go through dental treatment plans, decide outcomes of a surgical treatment or evaluate possibilities for implant placement and determine hazard for gum illness. For illustration, if blood sugar numbers are superior, there is a better likelihood that an implant could fall short.

Google Jump, GoPro, and YouTube 360 have virtual reality pushing towards the mainstream
Above: GoPro's Jump-ready 360 camera array uses HERO4 camera modules and allows all 16 cameras to act as one.
Key announcements by Google at its annual Google I/O developer conference have put virtual reality on the cusp of going mainstream, according to two key figures in the Australian virtual reality community.
During the conference, Google unveiled a new virtual reality ecosystem known as Jump, as well as new camera arrays that can capture 360-degree vision, and streaming stereoscopic virtual reality videos on YouTube.
Virtual Reality Ventures managing director Stefan Pernar told StartupSmart the commodification of virtual reality is likely to happen over the next 12 to 18 months.
“The big news from Google I/O is a virtual reality targeted Go Pro rig, one in a six-camera version and one in a 16-camera version, along with the Jump initiative. There’s also a set of assembly tools that allows you to stitch the thing together and extract 3D info from a range of perspectives,” Pernar says.
Pernar says that creating and sharing a virtual reality experience will soon be as easy as buying a GoPro rig and uploading the video clip on to YouTube 360.
He also points out that a string of consumer virtual reality headsets are set to hit the market in late 2015 and the first half of 2016, including Sony Morpheus, the HTC/Valve device and the consumer version of Facebook’s Oculus Rift. Samsung is also likely to heavily push its Gear VR headset in the lead-up to Christmas.
“That’s what Facebook buying Oculus was all about – sharing your user-created virtual reality experience with your family and friends on Facebook,” Pernar says.
“The landscape is changing. Virtual reality company’s focus will not so much be on stitching video together. That problem has been solved.
“Instead, they will need to add value, in the form of interactive and value added content.”
According to Pernar, creating more professional virtual reality shoots is a potential growth opportunity for virtual reality producers.
“The smartphone camera in your pocket is now better than the cameras used to shoot Star Wars. So why doesn’t everyone just whip out their phone and shoot Star Wars? It’s not just a matter of hardware – there’s also cinematography.
“A year ago, virtual reality was just a tech process. Even simple, stationary shots were state-of-the-art. Now you need to manage movement.”
The announcements mark a very exciting time for the VR industry, according to Anton Andreacchio – whose virtual reality production company Jumpgate Virtual Reality recently released a 90-second trailer for the upcoming Cyan Films horror film Scare Campaign.
“It’s what happened with film – it’s democratisation. On the tech side, equipment isn’t cost-prohibitive anymore. From a hardware perspective, this solves the post-production issue of stitching video clips together,” Andreacchio say.
“This is another big step, the process of making [VR] a systematic production method, and getting big companies a clearer path.
As for Pernar’s sentiments about VR going mainstream, Andreacchio is cautiously optimistic.
“I know I should say yes 100%, but we don’t know. But certainly a lot of time, money and energy is being thrown at this at the moment. So I suspect we are, but ultimately that’s up to the consumers,” he says.

Bernard “Bernie” Sanders is a Jewish American politician and the current junior Senator from Vermont. He is married to Jane O’Meara Sanders; they have four children.
Sanders (born September 8, 1941) was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Polish Jewish immigrants. Sanders graduated with a B.A. in political science from the University of Chicago in 1964 and afterwards spent time working on a kibbutz in Israel. Later that year he moved to Vermont where he worked as a writer, documentary producer and researcher.
Sanders’ political career began in 1971 when he joined the anti-Vietnam War Liberty Union Party (LU) in Vermont. He ran in and lost multiple elections for a seat in the U.S. Senate and in 1979 eventually resigned from the LU and began working as a writer and producer of the American People’s History Society.
From 1981 to 1989, Sanders served as mayor of Burlington, Vermont’s largest city. His accomplishments as mayor included building affordable housing, revitalizing the city’s waterfront and downtown, initiating arts, youth and women’s programs and increasing voter turnout by more than 50 percent. Burlington was recognized as one of the three most livable cities in America, and Sanders was chosen as one of the 20 best Mayors in the country by U.S. News and World Report.
In 1988, Sanders ran as an Independent for a vacant seat in the U.S. House of Representatives but places second to Republican Peter Smith. In 1990, Sanders ran again and this time defeated the incumbent and became the first Independent elected to Congress in 40 years. Sanders was reelected seven times, making him the longest-serving Independent in the history of the House of Representatives.
In November 2006, Sanders was elected to the Senate as the junior Senator from Vermont. In 2012, he was re-elected to his post, garnering 71% of the vote. The major issues he has confronted in the Senate include progressive tax reform, national health care, cutting military spending and affordable housing.
For many years the identity of the Kibbutz Sanders was involved with in Israel remained a mystery, but in February 2016 an article in the Haaretz archive from 1990 was uncovered in which Sanders told israeli Intelligence correspondent Yossi Melman that he stayed on Kibbutz Sha’ar Ha’amakim in the North.
Bernie Sanders announced that he was running for President on May 26, 2015. Running on a progressive platform of increasing taxes for the wealthy and expanding social services, he is currently polling in second place for the Democratic Party nomination. He effectively tied Hillary Clinton during the Iowa Democratic caucus, and gathered an unprecedented amount of momentum during late 2015 and early 2016.
Bernie Sanders made history on February 9, 2016, when he became not only the first Jewish individual, but the first non-Christian individual, to ever win a Presidential primary in the United States. In the New Hampshire primary Bernie received 60% of the vote and 13 delegates, and Hillary Clinton received 38.3%. Bernie carried every demographic group in the primary. In July 2016 Bernie went on to become the first Jewish person to ever receive an electoral vote for President, from a faithless elector at the Democratic National Convention.
When asked about reports that he was downplaying his Jewishness during the campaign at the March 6, 2016, Democratic debate in Flint, Michigan, Sanders responded that he is, “very proud to be Jewish,” and that being Jewish is, “so much of what [he is].”
Bernie Sanders lost the Democratic Primary to his opponent, Hillary Clinton, who went on to lose the general election to Republican challenger Donald Trump.
When the Electoral College convened on December 19, 2016, a faithless elector from Hawaii cast her vote for Senator Sanders instead of the winner of the Democratic primary, Hillary Clinton. With this, Sanders became the first Jewish individual to ever receive an Electoral College vote for President of the United States. | <urn:uuid:0a85d38e-8d49-405f-a8a5-76d9070282f6> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/bernie-sanders | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571246.56/warc/CC-MAIN-20220811073058-20220811103058-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.979451 | 828 | 1.984375 | 2 |
At the very least eighty residences collapsed in Khuzdar district when a 5.2 magnitude earthquake struck Pakistan’s Balochistan province, rendering in excess of two hundred family members homeless, media reviews stated on Saturday.
In accordance to the meteorological office environment, the quake’s epicenter was situated around Aurnaji, and strike the place at eleven.fifty five am on Friday, the Dawn newspaper described.
The earthquake was felt for 50 percent a moment, forcing the folks to operate out of their houses into the open up, officers stated.
Immediately after the significant jolts, the place held suffering from aftershocks at quick intervals. “A huge place of Aurnaji was influenced by the earthquake that demolished in excess of eighty residences when massive cracks appeared in 260 other residences,” retired Main Ilyas Kibzai, the deputy commissioner of Khuzdar, instructed Dawn, introducing that most of the wrecked residences were being constructed with mud.

The quake also broken Nali, Zamri, Barang, and Nachkan Sonaro Lathi villages in the Wadh tehsil.
“Fortunately, no human decline was described as most folks were being occupied in their program perform exterior their houses. Whilst individuals who were being inside of still left their residences as shortly as the jolts commenced,” Kibzai stated.
He stated that in excess of two hundred family members were being rendered homeless as their residences were being wrecked, introducing that shortly immediately after acquiring data about the earthquake, reduction items, which includes tents, sheets, meals objects, and ingesting drinking water, were being dispatched for the quake-influenced folks.
Nonetheless, he pointed out that the rescue and reduction groups were being struggling with problem in achieving the influenced villages as they were being situated in hilly regions.
“We have despatched health care groups together with medications,” the deputy commissioner stated, introducing that initiatives were being also underway to offer unexpected emergency shelter to the influenced family members.

In the meantime, Balochistan Main Minister Mir Abdul Qudoos Bizenjo expressed significant issue in excess of the fiscal losses induced by the earthquake to the neighborhood folks and directed the neighborhood administration and the Provincial Catastrophe Administration Authority to right away start an efficient reduction procedure in the quake-strike regions.
Issuing directives for quick provision of tents, blankets, and other requirements to the inhabitants of the influenced residences, the main minister stated the federal government stood with the victims in this challenging hour. | <urn:uuid:a8674e75-5a79-4870-a167-c30ce4766bdf> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.northernborderpeis.com/news/world/quake-damages-over-80-houses-in-pakistans-balochistan-report-world-news/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882570871.10/warc/CC-MAIN-20220808183040-20220808213040-00272.warc.gz | en | 0.975284 | 579 | 1.5 | 2 |
Today in history, President John Quincy Adams signed the Tariff of 1828 into law.
As a radical protectionist measure, the law became known in the South as the “Tariff of Abominations,” and widened the economic schism between the desires of northern industrialists and southern agrarians.
In a seminal account of the subject, Historian Frank William Taussig opined that the law resulted from an elaborate scheme by tariff opponents that hoped to include goods highly imported in the North. By forcing the hand New England states to vote against the measure, he wrote, the free-trade creators of the bill could declare victory when northers voted against the bill or Adams vetoed it. The strategy to defeat the tariff was designed by Martin Van Buren, architect of the Democratic Party and campaigner for Andrew Jackson.
The draftsmen of the bill, then, stood aghast as the bill was accepted by the industrial North, and signed by Adams in the twilight of his presidency. The buying patterns of southern agrarians, who previously benefitted from trade for goods with European powers, would now be coerced to purchase more costly and often inferior products from the North instead. Even though Jackson maintained a moderate approach to protective tariffs during his presidential campaign, it became clear that he intended to vigorously enforce the tariff when he ascended to the presidency in 1829.
The Constitution allowed tariffs to be passed, but they were intended to raise revenue rather than to protect domestic industry and stifle foreign trade. Since the 1828 Tariff had a protectionist function, South Carolina viewed the plan as impermissible and excessively harmful. However, this was not the first political stir caused by tariff policy. Widespread concern over protective tariffs emerged as early as the George Washington administration, when the government passed the federal carriage tax. The carriage tax made only two carriages in the state of Connecticut subject to the tax, although a huge number of southern carriages were affected. This caused an outpouring of unrest from the southern states. John Taylor likened such taxes to despotism, asserting that they reduced Virginians to slavery by depriving them of their own property.
John C. Calhoun saw the 1828 “Tariff of Abominations,” as the law would be called, as unmistakable federal overreach. He thought the new federal tariff would penalize southern production and work to the disproportionate benefit of northern industry. In the public, lengthy and persuasive redresses of grievances were hurled at the general government, but none produced a cure to the problem from the perspective of southerners. Ironically, Calhoun was Andrew Jackson’s vice president, but resigned in 1832, selected by his state shortly thereafter to the Senate specifically so he could work to counteract the tax.
Calhoun articulated his protest against the federal tariff in an influential writing known as the South Carolina Exposition and Protest. He affirmed the same precepts Jefferson and Madison had 30 years earlier, writing that “the General Government is one of specific powers, and it can rightfully exercise only the powers expressly granted…all others being reserved expressly to the States, or to the people.”
Calhoun lamented that the abnegation “consists in using a power granted for one object to advance another, and that by the sacrifice of the original object. It is, in a word, a violation by perversion, the most dangerous of all because the most insidious and difficult to resist.” He described the tariff as “unconstitutional, unequal, oppressive, and calculated to corrupt the public morals, and to destroy the liberty of the country.” Condemning its disproportionately negative effect on the South, Calhoun opined that the law had made the region “serfs of the system.”
The famous South Carolinian contended the general government was “one of specific powers, and it can only rightfully exercise only the powers expressly granted.” Admitting that the Constitution did allow for the passage of tariffs, Calhoun reasoned that this could only be done for the purpose of generating revenue for the general government. Revenue tariffs, he wrote, were by their nature “essentially different from that of imposing protective or prohibitory duties.” This power, he claimed, had been “abused by being converted into an instrument for rearing up the industry of one section of the country on the ruins of another.”
Revenue and protective tariffs, Calhoun wrote, were “incompatible” – the latter being a “violation of the spirit” of the Constitution. The exposition articulated that the radical tariff violated the United States Constitution’s revenue clause in Article I, Section 8, because the high rates deter importation at the expense of revenue collection – thereby making them constitutionally illegitimate. Calhoun argued that fundamentally protective tariffs, such as the inflammatory 1828 model, had been a “perversion” of the document. In his eyes, this enlargement of the federal government’s power was an “insidious” scheme.
Rather than suffer the tariff’s impact and acquiesce to a condition of inaction, Calhoun believed his state should fiercely admonish the law. In this, he felt South Carolina was wholly justified. “It would be impossible to deny to the States the right of deciding the infractions of their powers, and the proper remedy to be applied for their correction,” he wrote. Without such a check, Calhoun wrote that the general government “would exercise unlimited and unrestrained power” over the states.

The effect of hydrogen spillover over Pd/SiO2 + USY on pyridine chemisorbed on acid sites of USY zeolite was investigated. According to FTIR measurement, pyridine adsorbed on Lewis acid sites migrated to Brønsted acid sites under hydrogen-flowing atmosphere. The rate of migration was drastically promoted by physically mixed Pd/SiO2 catalysts. This suggests that spilt-over hydrogen enhance the migration of pyridine adsorbed on Lewis acid sites.
