Safety stand-down targets Southern oil and gas industry
Dallas – OSHA Region 6 is sponsoring a safety stand-down in February for the oil and gas industry.
Participating companies can conduct a variety of training events at their worksites during the event. According to OSHA, some companies have volunteered to conduct site inspections, document and eliminate hazards, and train workers at their sites.
“There is tremendous value in dedicating time during a workday to make a concerted effort to provide training,” John Hermanson, OSHA regional administrator in Dallas, said in a press release.
Participants in the stand-down will include gas and oil exploration and production sites in Region 6, which includes Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma and Texas. OSHA will provide training materials and assistance.
The stand-down is co-sponsored by the National Service, Transmission, Exploration and Production Safety Network, a volunteer organization founded by OSHA and the oil and gas industry. | <urn:uuid:e87edf42-32d9-4c77-af88-50bee55ae7bb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com/articles/safety-stand-down-targets-southern-oil-and-gas-industry-2 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.951219 | 201 | 1.59375 | 2 |

Saying, “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up” is something that we all have joked about, but it is actually a very serious matter. Balance is one the leading health concerns of people over the age of 65 and more than 1/3 of this population suffers a fall in the United States each year. If you don’t have good muscle strength and joint mobility, then you most likely don’t have good balance. Balance is defined as a state of equilibrium characterized by the cancellation of all forces by equal opposing factors. In other words, maintaining an upright posture while standing or moving.
Loss of balance caused by temporomandibular disorder is often not considered by those in the health community. The tensor veli palatini muscle when tense will torque the eustacian tube and may cause dizziness or balance loss. This muscle may release with injections to its neighboring masseter sphenomandibularis or anterior temporalis muscles. I explain to my patients that when neighboring muscles begin to tighten, it is similar to the domino game in which one domino is pushed down, the next and then the next domino will begin to fall also.
Stimulation of the temporomandibular joint tissues is known to evoke a reflexive response in the tongue and other craniofacial muscles. It can also stimulate postural reflexes initiated through projections to the brainstem’s reticular formation. There have been multiple studies concerning the maxillary-mandibular relationship and its positive or negative influence on a patient’s posture when the proper vertical dimension is altered.
It was recognized decades ago that TMD could be casually related to episodes of loss of balance and published in the Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg 1992, Chole Ra, Parker WS.
Vertigo can be caused by a disturbance in a particular part of the inner ear, particularly the labyrinth, which is an important part of the vestibular (balance) system. The labyrinth interacts with other systems of the body, such as the visual (eyes) and the skeletal (bones and joints) systems, which helps to maintain the body’s position in space. Besides the visual, vestibular, and skeletal systems that may contribute to balance disorders, the dental (stomatognathic) system may also contribute to balance disorders. It is when all four of these systems are in coordination with one another that equilibrium and balance will maintain a proper gait and posture.
Dizziness is reported to be the most common complaint in patients over 75 years of age, with the elderly seeking treatment for dizziness more frequently than for hearing loss. Dizziness is defined as sensations of moving, including feelings of unsteadiness, wooziness, and lightheadedness. People may feel like they are spinning, floating, swaying, tilting, or whirling. These sensations occur even when standing still or lying down.
What are other common balance disorders?
Tinnitus – buzzing or ringing in the ears (common TMD symptom that has been discussed in previous blogs), which can come with dizziness.
Labyrinthitis –inflammation usually caused by a virus within the labyrinth; this is the part of the inner ear that contains the organs of balance that may cause dizziness or imbalance.
Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) – a brief, intense sensation of vertigo that occurs because of a specific positional change of the head caused possibly by a problem in the vestibular system of the inner ear.
Post-traumatic vertigo – dizziness resulting from a head injury, concussion, or whiplash.
Meniere’s disease – inner ear fluid balance condition causing repetitive attacks of vertigo and is accompanied by pressure in the ears, vomiting, buzzing and/or ringing, and a partial hearing loss which can fluctuate during an episode.
Determining the cause of a balance disorder and what treatment options are appropriate is always the tricky part. Are there any underlying medical conditions?
Ear infections, blood pressure changes, vision problems and medications contribute to balance disorders. Medical conditions such as multiple sclerosis, stroke and Parkinson’s disease as well as temporomandibular disorders can also contribute to balance disorders.
If you are experiencing any of the above mentioned symptoms, then your first step would be to let your PCP know. They will most likely refer you to an Otolaryngologist (ENT) who specializes in ear, nose, and throat diseases. An audiometric (hearing) test will be ordered to test the patient’s ability to follow visual objects with their eyes and how the eyes respond to different types of information inputted into the vestibular system.
An MRI of the brain and/or a CAT scan will probably also be ordered to see the inner ear structures and nerve connections of these organs to the brain.

Arthritis develops when one or more joints become inflamed. When this occurs, it’s very likely for you to develop pain and stiffness in the affected area. Arthritis is typically common in the small joints of the foot as well as the ankle. It’s very possible that arthritis can develop due to previous injuries or traumas from the past. Some of the most common causes for arthritis may include old age, obesity, and genetic factors. It’s also been found that women who wear tight, high-heeled shoes for most of their lives are prone to experiencing foot complications such as arthritis.
Some signs that point to the development of arthritis include foot pain, stiffness in the joints, swelling, clicking or popping noises, as well as difficulty walking. Since arthritis can cause so much discomfort, it’s important to look into treatment methods that can help alleviate arthritic pain. One step you can take is to invest in comfortable footwear that provides you with optimal support. Shoes with arch support, heel cups, cushioning, and shock absorption are likely to provide you with ultimate comfort while you perform your day to day activities. Your doctor may also advise you to set a weight loss goal if you happen to be obese. Losing weight may help you lessen the pressure that’s being put on your feet. Heat and ice treatments have also been found to help with easing stiffness in the joints.
For more information about the type of arthritis you’re experiencing and how to best treat it, we recommend you consult with a podiatrist for professional care. | <urn:uuid:98ded691-7b22-4f31-be3c-598d5eb8a783> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.drfihman.com/arthritic-foot-ankle-care | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.96395 | 323 | 2.546875 | 3 |
In February, 2022, NEMA published NEMA LL-10, Replacing HID Lamps with LED Lamps: Light Output Equivalency Claims. This document describes a method for claiming equivalency of LED lamps to the HID lamps they replace. The NEMA standard applies to omnidirectional lamps. (The equivalency for directional lamps is more complicated and requires simulation or mockups to establish). The intention is for manufacturers to use LL-10 when they prepare their equivalency claims.
Replacing high-intensity discharge (HID) lamps with light-emitting diode (LED) equivalents should be an easy and straightforward endeavor. However, currently, there are significant variations in the luminous flux (light output) of LED lamps claiming to be equivalent to a particular HID lamp wattage. When this happens, customer confusion and dissatisfaction can ensue and result in an unlevel playing field for manufacturers. NEMA provides value to the end-user and the manufacturing community with recommendations for when this scenario occurs.

The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Mystery6 titres dans la série
The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes Description
From USA Today best-selling author Leonard Goldberg comes The Daughter of Sherlock Holmes, a new thrilling tale of the great detective's daughter and her companion, Dr. John Watson Jr., as they investigate a murder at the highest levels of British society.
England, 1914. Joanna Blalock's keen mind and incredible insight lead her to become a highly skilled nurse, one of the few professions that allow her to use her finely tuned brain. But when she and her 10-year-old son witness a man fall to his death, apparently by suicide, they are visited by the elderly Dr. John Watson and his charming, handsome son, Dr. John Watson Jr. Impressed by her forensic skills, they invite her to become the third member of their investigative team.
Caught up in a Holmesian mystery that spans from hidden treasure to the Second Afghan War of 1878-1880, Joanna and her companions must devise an ingenious plan to catch a murderer in the act while dodging familiar culprits, Scotland Yard, and members of the British aristocracy. Unbeknownst to her, Joanna harbors a mystery of her own. The product of a one-time assignation between the now dead Sherlock Holmes and Irene Adler, the only woman to ever outwit the famous detective, Joanna has unwittingly inherited her parents' deductive genius. | <urn:uuid:d7cc0491-739d-4069-ae90-2fa5894a8c75> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.audible.fr/series/The-Daughter-of-Sherlock-Holmes-Mystery-Livres-Audio/B07DM5WG89 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.937641 | 298 | 1.507813 | 2 |

The R. A. Shuey Creamery was a dairy company at 5960 Telegraph Avenue from 1910–1953. The business was incorporated in 1910 in Oakland by brothers Robert A. Shuey, Charles Shuey, William A. Shuey, and L. E. Phillips. 1 It was purchased by Foremost Dairies in 1952.
The 1911 directory lists it at 2410 Stuart Street in Berkeley, Robert A. Shuey president, Charles Shuey treasurer. In 1911, there was also a Shuey Poultry Company in Berkeley, run by William A. Shuey.
The Central-Shuey Creamery was incorporated in 1920, by combining the R. A. Shuey Creamery, the Central Creamery and the Oakland Cream Depot. In 1926 their main processing plant was at 5307 Telegraph.
Foremost Dairies, Inc. acquired R. A. Shuey Creamery (which was a Nevada corporation) whose main office was located in Oakland, California in December, 1952. Net sales for R. A. Shuey Creamery in Oakland during 1952 amounted to $1,084,000. 2
Diamond Dairy, Inc. was acquired by Foremost Dairies, Inc. in February 1952, and then was merged with R. A. Shuey Creamery into Shuey-Diamond Dairy, Inc. 5 after that dairy was also acquired by Foremost Dairies, Inc. in December 1952.
Foremost had 3.9% of fluid milk sales in the Alameda-Contra Costa region in 1953 through its operations of the Diamond Dairy and Shuey Creamery facilities.
In September, 1952 R. A. Shuey showed wage rate gains of $13.50 per month. 3
Many members of the Shuey family8 are buried in Mountain View Cemetery, including the Shuey brother's parents, Homer Stowe Shuey and Genevra A. Daugherty Shuey, Homer's father, John Shuey, and John's father, General Martin Shuey.

'Yes, acushla, when it is given from kindness.'
She accordingly helped herself to the food that Biddy placed before her, and appeared, after eating, to be very much refreshed.
'Now,' said she, rising up, 'you're a very good girl, an' if you are able to find out my name before Tuesday morning, the kemp-day, I tell you that you'll win it, and gain the husband.'
'Why,' said Biddy, 'I never saw you before. I don't know who you are, nor where you live; how then can I ever find out your name?'
'You never saw me before, sure enough,' said the old woman, 'an' I tell you that you never will see me again but once; an' yet if you have not my name for me at the close of the kemp, you'll lose all, an' that will leave you a sore heart, for well I know you love Shaun Buie.'

In recent years, there has been a greatly increased interest in the impacts of the built environment on health and wellbeing. At present, spatial inequalities in regards to access to jobs, affordable housing, social services, and healthy food results in a greater burden of disease for particular social groups and in particular geographic areas. Many of the health problems in cities today, including obesity, violence, and depression, are linked to poor residential and recreational environments, lack of access to jobs and social services, and low social cohesion. Urban decision-makers like planners and designers influence physical, social, natural, cultural, and economic environments. They therefore have a key role in ‘planning health in’, rather than ‘planning health out’, of communities.
This subject will provide a local and international background into current policies and practices related to pursuing health and well-being objectives as a central part of urban planning work. It will cover: the influence of planning over key health determinants, international good practice, the current legislative framework, and Health Impact Assessment. A strong skills focus will ensure that planners, designers and other professionals are able to assess existing sites, plans, and policies from a health perspective.
Intended learning outcomes
On completion of this subject, the students should be able to:
- Describe the changing nature of public health issues, and their relationship with the built environment;
- Understand variations in the needs of different social, economic, and cultural groups in ‘the public’, to which health planning interventions respond.
- Analyze a planning proposal and an existing site, using health assessment tools
- Describe and critically analyze the integration of Council Plans, Municipal Health and Wellbeing plans, and land use planning tools such as Precinct Structure Plans and Urban Design Frameworks, in local governments across Victoria
- Relate the concepts of healthy urban planning to current policy initiatives at the local, state, or national level.
- Written, verbal and visual communications
- Ability to analyse current policies in light of theory and evidence
- Ability to advocate for a position, based on understanding of policy, theory, and evidence

The healthiest weight for you is dependent upon a few different factors, including your:
The body mass index (BMI) is a popular way to determine whether or not you’re at an ideal weight and takes into account your height and weight to produce a specific number.
You can use a BMI calculator or a chart to determine your particular number. Between 18.5 and 24.9 is considered to be normal, while under 18.5 is considered to be underweight. Between 25 and 29.9 is considered overweight, and above 30 is considered obese.
BMI is a relatively simple calculation, however, and doesn’t take into account a number of factors that could increase your weight without impacting your health, like the frame of your body or your muscle composition.
Some other ways to determine whether or not you’re at an ideal weight include:
Dr. Bireddy and the team at Medi Clinics Primary Care LLC can work with you to determine whether or not your weight is healthy.
Being overweight is more than just a cosmetic concern. It can severely impact your overall health. Individuals who are at an unhealthy weight are more likely to develop a number of health conditions, including:

Background Snus (a form of smokeless tobacco) is less dangerous than cigarettes. Some health professionals argue that snus should be promoted as a component of a harm reduction strategy, while others oppose this approach. Major US tobacco companies (RJ Reynolds and Philip Morris) are marketing snus products as cigarette brand line extensions. The population effects of smokeless tobacco promotion will depend on the combined effects of changes in individual risk with population changes in tobacco use patterns.
Objective To quantitatively evaluate the health impact of smokeless tobacco promotion as part of a harm reduction strategy in the US.
Methods A Monte Carlo simulation of a decision tree model of tobacco initiation and use was used to estimate the health effects associated with five different patterns of increased smokeless tobacco use.
Results With cigarette smoking having a health effect of 100, the base case scenario (based on current US prevalence rates) yields a total health effect of 24.2 (5% to 95% interval 21.7 to 26.5) and the aggressive smokeless promotion (less cigarette use and increased smokeless, health-concerned smokers switching to snus, smokers in smokefree environments switching to snus) was associated with a health effect of 30.4 (5% to 95% interval 25.9 to 35.2). The anticipated health effects for additional scenarios with lower rates of smokeless uptake also overlapped with the base case.
Conclusions Promoting smokeless tobacco as a safer alternative to cigarettes is unlikely to result in substantial health benefits at a population level.

Turkey Day is approaching and this year we want you to forget about the effects of tryptophan (that amino acid in turkey that everyone claims makes you sleepy) on your body, or of pumpkin pie on your waistline, and focus on something more important to the season: the effects of thankfulness (hey, it’s right there in the name: Thanksgiving!), or gratitude, on your life, and yes, even your brain.
Sure, this time of year can be stressful or even downright sad for some, but being grateful is one way to lift your spirits, feel connected, and see the goodness in your life – but that’s not all. Gratitude can also help you sleep better, exercise more, and generally be healthier and happier. And that’s not just our opinion: there is research being done on gratitude that is actually proving all of this, and showing us that regularly practicing gratitude can reshape your neural pathways, leading to lasting, positive effects in your life.
The Brain’s Gratitude Cocktail
Before we get into the specific studies proving the neuroscientific benefits of gratitude, let’s take a quick look at what could be driving some of the changes happening in your brain when you get your thankful on. There are two main neurochemicals that get released when we’re feeling grateful:
- Dopamine – Whether you’re feeling grateful about the things that are good in your life, or are expressing gratitude to another person, neural circuitry in your brain will release dopamine. And the great thing about dopamine? Not only does it make you feel good, but it leaves you wanting more, so you’ll be more likely to continue the practices that lead to the release of this chemical. Because of this, you’ll be able to harness the “neuroplasticity” of your brain, meaning you can retrain your brain the more you activate your gratitude circuits.
- Serotonin – When you reflect on the good things in your life, your brain also releases serotonin, also known as the happy molecule. Serotonin enhances our mood, as well as our willpower and motivation, so again, you’ll be more likely to continue on with your gratitude practices once you begin.
There are psychologists out there whose life’s work is studying how gratitude affects people and their brains, and they’ve had some very interesting findings. For example, Dr. Robert A. Emmons of the University of California, Davis, and Dr. Michael E. McCullough of the University of Miami, have done a number of studies, including the following two:
- A group of young adults were asked to keep a daily journal of things they were grateful for, while other groups of young adults were asked to write about things that annoyed them or things they felt made them better off than other people. The young adults who kept gratitude journals showed greater increases in determination, attention, enthusiasm, and energy compared to the other groups. This led the researchers to conclude not only that gratitude is beneficial to the brain, but that gratitude is more than just realizing that you have it better than other people – you have to actively engage in feeling appreciation for what you have in your life.
- A group of adults of mixed ages were asked to keep a weekly journal about things they were grateful for that week, while two other groups wrote about either things that had displeased them, or just what had happened to them that week, with no emphasis on whether they were positive or negative. Those who kept the gratitude journals were not only more optimistic and positive at the end of 10 weeks, but surprisingly, they had also exercised more, had needed fewer trips to the doctor, and had experienced fewer aches and pains.
Emmons and McCullough aren’t the only ones who have found proof of the power of gratitude: a few different researchers have done studies using gratitude letters and have found similarly powerful results. For example:
- Dr. Martin E. P. Seligman, a psychologist at the University of Pennsylvania, had 411 participants write and personally deliver letters of gratitude to someone who had never been properly thanked for their kindness. The participants immediately exhibited a huge increase in happiness scores, especially when compared with the impacts of other types of activities assigned to them. Not only that, but the benefits lasted for at least a month beyond the study.
- Researchers at Berkeley found that when 300 participants, many of whom were seeking mental health treatment, wrote gratitude letters, they reported significantly better mental health 4 weeks and 12 weeks after their writing exercise ended when compared with the participants who wrote about negative experiences or only received counseling.
Perhaps most interestingly, three months after the study, the researchers gave the participants an fMRI after putting them in a situation in which they would feel grateful, and compared the brains of the participants with others who hadn’t written the letters. When they did, they found that the gratitude letter writers showed greater activation in the medial prefrontal cortex (which deals with memory and decision making). They concluded that simply expressing gratitude may have lasting effects on the brain.
Other studies have also found that there are positive physical effects of gratitude. For example, a Chinese study found that higher levels of gratitude were not only associated with less anxiety and depression, but also better sleep. And why all of these positive physical and emotional benefits? Well, when researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) examined blood flow in various brain regions while subjects were feeling gratitude, they found that subjects who showed more gratitude overall had higher levels of activity in the hypothalamus.
Why is that important? Because the hypothalamus controls a whole lot of essential bodily functions, including eating, drinking and sleeping, and has a huge influence on your metabolism and stress levels, so it makes sense that feeling more gratitude could have such wide-ranging effects like increased exercise, improved sleep, decreased depression, and fewer aches and pains.
Adding More Gratitude Into Your Life
It turns out there is a lot to be thankful for when it comes to, well, feeling thankful. So how can you add more gratitude into your life all year round, and not just when you’re carving the turkey and spooning the whipped cream onto your pumpkin pie? Well, you can try some of the following strategies – and don’t worry if it feels a little forced at first: your brain will get the hang of it (as has been proven!), and it’ll begin to come more naturally to you.
- Write a thank-you note (or 2 or 3!) – While it’s ok – and totally encouraged – to write them to yourself, be sure to send the ones you write to others, or better yet: hand deliver them. Try to send at least one a month and be as clear and open as possible about how that person has impacted your life, even if it’s in little ways.
- Keep a gratitude journal – We’ve already pointed out that many studies showing the powerful impact gratitude can have on your life have utilized gratitude journals, so it might be a good idea for you to keep one yourself. Try writing in it daily if you can, but add to it at least weekly so you can get the full benefits.
- Meditate – Take time out of your day to meditate mindfully, and focus on the present moment, including what you are grateful for right then.
- Inspire gratitude in others – Try to include at least one act of kindness in your life each day, or volunteer in your community
- Always say thank you – Don’t just thank the most important people in your life for the biggest things; also remember to thank everyone around you for even the little things they do. And when you do this, stop first to really think about what it is you’re thanking them for.
As Thanksgiving rolls around again, don’t let this time of year pass by with you simply going through the motions of feeling grateful for the good things in life. After all, research now tells us that once you let your brain find things to be grateful for, it’ll start looking for more and more things to be grateful for – so take this time to really focus on what you’re thankful for. That way, you’ll release that cocktail of feel-good chemicals, start to rewire your brain in a more positive way, and get yourself on a path to greater health and happiness (and you might just make those around you feel good in the process, too)! | <urn:uuid:94d3b4bd-e8aa-4024-836a-fefef26cedc3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.ez.insure/landing/2021/10/being-grateful-changes-your-brain/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.963765 | 1,765 | 2.6875 | 3 |
Gadfly of Sheep
The Gadfly of the sheep lays its eggs in the nostrils of the sheep. There, the maggots hatch and live in the frontal sinuses until fully grown, they then drop to the ground and bury themselves. After pupation, they emerge as flies. This illustration is natural size and shows a Gadfly larvae.

CORE GRASP is a web application protection software technique designed by A. Futoransky, E. Gutesman, D. Tiscornia and A. Waissbein from CoreLabs. GRASP protects against injection vulnerabilities and enforces privacy in web applications. Roughly sepaking, we use (dynamic) taint analysis at character granularity to detect and block injection and cross-site scripting attacks.
Grasp is implemented for PHP by instrumenting its source code to augment zvals so that each character in the interpreted is assigned a value, tainted or untainted, plus modifying all the functions used to manipulate zvals so that they propagate taint information, and security checks are prepended to output functions (e.g., the API to MySQL to detect SQL-injection attacks).
The first version of Grasp was implemented over PHP 3.xx in 2004 and it included SQL-injection protection for MySQL. We also instrumented subsequent PHP versions and finally made public our software in Black Hat Briefings 2007 (Las Vegas).
On the other hand, in 2005 we showed how to use the Grasp technique to provide some interesting privacy features (attachear paper). Briefly, we provided the means for enforcing privacy requirements, by configuring the Grasp for PHP server, so that the information entering the interpreter received labels according to its origin (e.g., private, for your eyes only, public) and enforce whether information with a given label could flow to a given output (e.g., database/ storage, internet). | <urn:uuid:585accf2-f71f-4541-b426-81d07ce712e5> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.coresecurity.com/core-labs/open-source-tools/core-grasp | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.889894 | 322 | 1.765625 | 2 |

The concept of pain usually reminds us of agony, scowls, and terror. Yet, to some, it is a pathway for relief and salvation.
Clinical Social Worker Carolyn O. Lee from Raleigh presented the subject of self-injury at the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences Grand Rounds at the Duke Hospital on Jan. 19. She provided a clear image of what motivates “cutting” and other self-injury, and who it may affect. She also suggested solutions.
People who damage their body tissue to experience jolting pain receive a “natural high,” Lee said. These injuries are intentional and non-life threatening and occur generally in socially outcasted people. Cutting, self-burning, pin-sticking, scratching, and self –hitting, interference with wound healing, and bone breaking are the common methods used. The tools used for such actions are analogous to security blankets of young children, and are deemed very precious to the inflictor.
The most prevalent question is “Why?,” since the concept of self-injury goes against most people’s natural instinct for survival. People seek self-injury to cope, to regulate mood, affect, and consciousness, to relieve anxiety and depression, discharge anger, to inflict punishment, and induce pleasure, feel alive, and have a sense of control, Lee said. The injuries on their body are their voices, she said.
The general thought is “How will you know I am hurting if you cannot see my pain? I wear it on my body, and it shows what words cannot explain,” Lee said.
Before the self-abuse happens, the patient feels a sense of tension, worthlessness and anxiety. During the abuse, they may experience pleasure, exhilaration, relief and numbness. And afterwards they lapse into a pool of guilt, shame, disgust, sorrow, and intrigue, feeling out of control.
Self-abuse continues because it can differentiate inner and outer body boundaries or bring attentiveness to a mistreated body, Lee said. It may identify with the aggressor, displace rage, and regulate states of hyperarousal and dissociation.
Psychiatrists also suspect autism spectrum disorders or defects in theory-of-mind to be major factors for the emergence of such behavior. Physiologically, deficits in serotonin play a large part as well.
To treat self-abuse, Dr. Lee recommends a combination of psychoanalytic therapy and medication. She believes the relationship between the patient and the psychotherapist plays a significant role in mitigating the behavior. However, she added that if a patient shows signs of addictive behavior to self-injury, she would consider prescribing medications. | <urn:uuid:330db2db-93e9-4d3d-9d46-8571c941e78f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://researchblog.duke.edu/2012/02/10/1241/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572870.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817062258-20220817092258-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.951319 | 561 | 2.578125 | 3 |

The incumbent government boasted of having delivered almost every promise it made during its five year term in office. This was made clear in the confident statement of Prime Minister Jigmi Y Thinley’s fifth and last state of the nation report presented to members of the parliament.
However, political parties feel that the PM’s state of the nation report is too optimistic and downplays some obvious and serious problems in the nation.
Lyonchhen began his speech by highlighting on the strengthened sovereignty of the country which he said was the most important priority of the Druk Phuensum Tshogpa (DPT).
Lyonchhen stressed on the government’s efforts in gaining recognitions by other countries for Bhutan by signing diplomatic ties with 50 nations which stood at 21 before the government took office in 2008.
He said “the ultimate test of democracy and an elected government is how it makes itself accountable to the people for the promises it has made, for those that it has kept and for those it has broken.”
The Prime Minister said that his party, committed itself to “Growth with Equity and Justice” through some 153 broad pledges in its manifesto of which 135 (88%) were fully met and 15 (10%) were partially fulfilled. Only three pledges (2%) were not fulfilled.
While the DCT president Lily Wangchuk acknowledged that the government did achieve something, she said “they cannot hide their failures behind some figures, which in itself are debatable, and tell people that everything was fine, especially when people know that everything was not fine.”
Improved living standards
The PM pointed out the milestones achieved by the government in improving living standards of people and to a certain extent reducing the poverty rate. Rural poverty, Lyonchhen said was brought down sharply to 16 percent in 2012 from 30 percent in 2007.
“We can take considerable satisfaction that we are moving very rapidly in the right direction, and we know with certainty that poverty eradication in Bhutan is possible,” he said.
Lyonchhen, in his report also stated his government’s success in connecting every Gewog with motorable roads, electricity, drinking water, mobile phone connectivity, and education and health services. He said 49 out of the 56 Gewogs that had no road access in 2007 have now been connected with farm roads out of the total 205 Gewogs across the country.
“Except for the communities under Lauri and Serthig in Samdrup Jongkhar, which will receive electricity by the end of 2013, all the remaining communities in the country will be electrified within the 10th plan period,” he said. He also stated that 99% coverage has been achieved in terms of mobile phone connectivity and that 33,848 households have been electrified in the past five years.
Reiterating on his earlier statements, Lyonchhen said domestic dairy and egg production has increased significantly.
President of Bhutan Kuen-Ngyam Party (BKP) Sonam Tobgay said “one should not complain as long as such impressive statistical indicators have translated to ground realities of socio-economic development. The best judgment on this will be passed in the upcoming elections.”
He also said, “Democracy is all about rule of law and transparency, and therefore one need’s to examine the figures closely before drawing unilateral conclusions.”
He also said “one must make a distinction between genuine rural developments vis-a-vi fulfilling a check list of campaign promises. For example, rural access in terms of farm roads is non-performing in terms of the investments made.”
Economy-“all is well”
On the economic situation of the country, Lyonchhen re-assured that the Indian Rupee (INR) shortfall is only temporary and various measures have been taken to abate the crunch. He cited growth in the foreign exchange reserve of more than USD 866mn.
Despite recent reports by the National Council on the alarming economic situation and loopholes in the fiscal policies, Lyonchhen said the power projects would generate more INR returns than what is needed and can be used to easily pay off past or present loans.
He assured that external imbalances will begin to be corrected within the year. The country’s total debt as of December 31, 2012 has touched Nu 78.65bn which accounted for about 78.4 percent of the country’s GDP.
Lyonchhen also highlighted on the increased number of trade licenses issued, hike in tourist arrivals, various developments in the education sector and progress of the hydropower projects.
However, President of Druk Chirwang Tshogpa (DCT) Lily Wangchuk said “one of the most critical things that this government has not been able to address is the economy. The growth of 8.8 percent has not translated into creation of new jobs and opportunities for people and, most importantly, for our youth. It has been, at best, a jobless growth. The government has also bungled on the Rupee crunch which has brought down the private sector down to its knees. Hundreds of people have lost their jobs because of the Rupee crunch.”
The BKP president Sonam Tobgay said “the new government will need to address grave problems of economic slowdown with particular reference to balance of payment problems (rupee crunch), increasing unemployment, FDI, and many more.”
Lyonchhen, referring to DPT’s manifesto, said it was a matter of national pride that a small country like Bhutan continued to rise in stature as world leader in environmental conservation and that Bhutan’s policy initiatives and ground actions have received international recognition.
He cited a host of events over the last five years that helped enhance Bhutan’s status as a world champion in environment conservation.
However, the National Council in its report on Mining and Quarrying presented during its last session concluded that existing mines and quarries are not regulated and managed to optimize equitable public socio-economic benefits and lack environmental soundness. The house provided a host of recommendations for the government on how to better manage the mining sector.
On its pledge towards good governance, Lyonchhen said the government has maintained a small cabinet of 10 ministers. He brought to light various measures taken by each ministry to create, improve and deliver services in the most timely, accessible and cost effective manner.
Lyonchhen referred to activities such as the acceleration of Bhutan’s socio-economic development (ABSD) project, G2C project, organizational changes in the government, mainstreaming gross national happiness (GNH) policies, promotion of rule of law, enhanced civil service, foreign policies and the proposed 11th five year plan among others.
Lily Wangchuk said “One of the finer points of leadership is also being able to own up to one’s mistakes. And that did not come out of PM’s state of the nation report.”
Druk Nyamrup Tshogpa’s (DNT) spokesperson Norbu Wangchuk acknowledged the achievements of the government over the past five years but said “they as the first elected government could have done more to set a precedence of good democratic culture.”
“The job isn’t finished yet as the next government has to make sure all the investments or achievements of the current government must now translate into positive impact in the lives of the people,” he added. | <urn:uuid:ee358f0c-9d9e-41da-afa7-7466fd67787d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://thebhutanese.bt/dpt-gives-itself-a-88-24-score-but-political-parties-dont-think-so/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.971038 | 1,574 | 1.609375 | 2 |
The St. Louis Fed published a short note today comparing the net worth of millennials in 2016 vs. Gen Xers in 2001. Here it is:
Today’s millennials have fewer assets and more debt, and their net worth is therefore considerably lower than Gen Xers at the same age. That’s bad, but let’s make it worse. Here’s a chart from the same data that shows net worth over time:¹
This is median net worth, and it’s practically zero for young households. That’s not really a surprise: people tend to take on lots of debt when they’re young and they haven’t had the time or the income to build up much in the way of assets.
The real problem is that it’s gone down from $15,000 to $11,000 over the past 25 years. Conversely, the median net worth of retirees has gone up from $145,000 to $224,000. That’s a 17 percent drop vs. a 55 percent gain.
This is one among many reasons that I keep harping on the proposition that liberals should stop obsessing over the “retirement crisis.” There are two very specific problems with retirement, and those are worth addressing.² But as a general proposition, there just isn’t a retirement crisis. You can calculate it any way you want, but unless you torture the data into a pretzel, most retirees today are pretty well off. Their 401(k)s don’t allow them to live on yachts, but old-school private pensions didn’t either.
So retirees are basically fine, and will probably be more than fine in the future. It’s younger generations that are in trouble and that’s who we should be laser-focused on. The reason for obsessing over retirees, I think, is that our two big retiree programs are Democratic creations and liberals are proud of them. They’re also pretty easy to identify and improve. But that’s like looking for your lost keys where the light is good. It’s not nearly as easy to identify concrete ways to help young families, so we tend to mumble and tap dance around them. That’s lousy policy and lousy politics.
It might be harder, but we should be looking at ways to help young families with at least the same intensity that we bring to Social Security and Medicare. Instead of allowing kids to stay on their parents’ health policies until age 26, how about just offering them free Medicare until they’re 30?³ Not everyone has parents with health insurance, after all. Free public college of all kinds is a good idea too, even though it’s difficult since this stuff is all done at the state level. But if we do it, our main focus should be on trade schools and community college, not 4-year universities. Or how about a rent subsidy? Maybe the feds offer to pay a percentage of your rent: say, 20 percent at age 20 sliding down to zero at age 30? Or an income subsidy that works the same way?
I’m just tossing stuff out here. They might be bad ideas. But if we want to help the people who really need help, we should focus on non-college-educated young people. They’re the real forgotten demographic. They’re also the ones who we badger about not voting. So let’s give them a reason to vote.

²The first problem is the meager income of the lower third of retirees who depend solely on Social Security. Their benefits should be increased by about a third. The second is long-term nursing care. A one-year stay in a nursing home—which is not uncommon—can easily wipe out the retirement savings of a middle-class family. This should be covered by Medicare.

Dry eye is a very common health problem. Nearly all of us have experienced itchy or tired eyes caused by excessive dryness.
However, this problem can become very disruptive and significantly reduce the quality of life for some people. The surface of the eye is continually bathed in tears, which are a blend of watery and oily liquids. In response to emotions or dryness, the tear glands produce sufficient tears to moisturize the eyes. However, sometimes the tears are not secreted in sufficient quantity or they evaporate too quickly. Dry eye can have many causes, including environmental conditions like dry air, wind or smoke, underlying health problems such diabetes, hormonal changes, and a wide variety of medications. Dry eye is usually harmless and temporary. If the condition persists, have your eyes checked to find the cause of the dryness so you can get proper treatment. Your health professional can help you take care of your eyes—see him about it! | <urn:uuid:bcb7a861-51a0-4c66-8fed-4481cf5e7dda> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.familiprix.com/en/articles/dry-eye-36bdb608-29e8-4d8b-9fb6-2a6093f0f217 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571950.76/warc/CC-MAIN-20220813111851-20220813141851-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.968821 | 192 | 2.765625 | 3 |
Discard All Divisive Measures to Unite India Against China
Many retired generals have written about the Galwan fiasco in Ladakh in which several of our brave soldiers laid down their lives. Despite what Prime Minister Narendra Modi has just said, it was apparent from the various narratives from the strategic establishment that the Chinese have intruded into our side of the Line of Actual Control. And are refusing to vacate claiming their sovereignty over our land.
We remained silent and officially did not even acknowledge any such violation of our sovereignty by the Chinese, amounting to an act of aggression. PM Modi broke the silence last evening by insisting there was no intrusion into Indian territory. A situation has thus been created where we now cannot even cry foul before the international community.
It is imperative for the government to take the nation into confidence over the details, and answer the many questions that are emerging since the PM’s statements. Conceding to China now will not help us save the other territories that China claims, including Arunachal Pradesh. Any surrender to China at this stage will only increase its appetite for more territory.
Further, remember that unlike 1962, China is acting in close tandem with Pakistan, who would like to grab Jammu and Kashmir with Chinese help which it failed to do so in 1947. We should not be surprised to find ourselves confronted with the Chinese Army in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir at some stage, if Pakistan also joins in to enlarge the area of conflict and make things difficult for us.
Territorial gain against India is only a small part of China’s bigger strategy to dominate the world economically, politically and militarily replacing the other international bully, the US. China has, with all calculations, embarked on a strategy to force India to fall in line and detach itself from the US-Israel axis or be ready for the consequences.
So, how we deal with this rampaging new bully on the horizon in our neighbourhood?
A country of 135 crore with a huge youth population should not be scared and be willing to take the bull by horns provided the entire country falls behind the government. Rather than conceding territory to China, the Modi government should undo all domestic measures that have divided the nation. I am confident that China will not be able to prolong the confrontation in the long run against a united and confident India. Yes, early setbacks should not demoralise us.
Internationally, India should pursue an independent foreign policy so as not be seen as a lackey of some country. Pakistan-US relations should be a reminder as to how the US ditched Pakistan at crucial moments in its history. It would be no different with India. Win back all our old friends in the Muslim world. Arab countries and Iran are all- weather friends.
Much more has to be done domestically. For that to happen call a Parliament session and reverse all controversial laws passed by it beginning with August 5, 2019 changes in Kashmir. Just a reading of former chief minister Omar Abdullah’s tweet on June 17 that “those Kashmiris tempted to look towards China as some sort of saviour need only google the plight of Uighur Muslims. Be careful what you wish for...” should be enough to realise the mistake of imprisoning these leaders. So, release all those detained in after August 5, 2019.
Scrap the Citizenship (Amendment) Act 2019 that has generated anger in several communities across India and alienated the younger generation. Consequently, stop the witch hunting of youth in colleges and universities who have a different view point. They are needed in the forefront.
Release all those detained in connection with Bhima Koregaon and Elgar Parishad cases. Many Dalits are angry over partisan action.
Yes, Ram mandir can wait. Nation’s honour takes precedence over it. All funds collected for the temple should be made available for defence procurement and army recruitment. PM CARE funds should also be pooled for the same purpose. More funds will flow, if the country is taken into confidence.
This is a Plassey moment in our history. Either we fight together or gradually be devoured by this new imperialist bully called China. Subjugation in any form should not be acceptable.

The Long Waiting – Christmas Meditation Day 28 (Jan 21)
The Long Waiting
1. For seven long years the Holy Family remained in the land of Egypt. From day to day they knew not whether they were to spend all their days in banishment, far from the dear land of Israel, or to return thither it might be on the morrow; yet no shade of impatience ever marred the perfection of their peace and resignation to the will of God. How different from myself, who am so anxious and troubled about the future!
2. During all this time St. Joseph supported his holy spouse and the Infant Jesus by working at his trade of a carpenter. They often felt the pinch of poverty, but never wanted for bread. God forsakes not His own, though He sometimes tries them to the very edge of their powers of endurance. He will not forsake me if I put my trust in Him.
3. How little the people of Egypt knew Who it was that dwelt for these long years amongst them! If they had known it, they would eagerly have cast aside their idols, and thrown themselves at the feet of the King of heaven and earth. So if those outside the Catholic Church knew that on every altar God Himself dwells in the Blessed Sacrament, how they would come in crowds to make their humble submission to Him! Hence teach a great charity to those outside the Church of Christ. It is often ignorance, not malice, that stands in the way of their conversion.

Information for Relatives
Is your wife, girlfriend, daughter, mother, colleague or someone else you know and care about being stalked? Would you like to support this person, but do not know exactly how? Then come to one of our counselling sessions.
For relatives, this is all about understanding what stalking is, what it effects it has, and what it does to those affected. This understanding is important in dealing with women affected by stalking. This can help women in better coping with everyday life.
A counselling session helps to make the social environment of the woman affected easier to live in. It is important as a relative to convey to the affected woman that you are there for her, without exerting any pressure. Nothing will change just from one day to the next. Stalking is a criminal offence which sometimes lasts for years and can put a lot of strain on those affected and their relatives.

Amber’s practicum was hosted by the BC Assembly of First Nations. Amber compiled a resource directory for suicide prevention, aimed at providing support and information for those around individuals at-risk.
How well prepared did you feel entering into the project?
I felt really good about the project, mostly because the assignments from FNSP 310 and 320 had allowed me to apply some of the skills that were needed to gather reliable information. The assignments in FNSP 400 also allowed for a mental transition into the working world (ie. resume work..interview skills…things you forget when you are in school hahaha).
What are three things you learned from or about the organization?
1. There are ALWAYS inter- and intra- office politics
2. People wanting to achieve the same thing may have total different ideas about how to achieve that, and that can actually stall or halt progress.
3. Politics as a career means your life is politics, you can’t just ‘leave it at the office’
What was the highlight of the experience?
Having my family, friends and peers watch me give the presentation. That was the most frightened I have ever been in my life, but knowing I had done it was the best feeling in the world.
What surprised you the most?
That even after the project ends you still find yourself questioning, double checking and wondering about what happened, what might happen with the project or similar future initiatives.
What advice do you have for next year’s students?
Partnerships can be appealing, but require a well-detailed contingency plan.
PS. when the instructor says make a contingency plan, LISTEN TO HIM!!!!! | <urn:uuid:93312724-d874-4c93-9907-6d4930019cfb> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://fnis.arts.ubc.ca/practicum/post-practicum-student-reflections/interview-with-amber-shilling/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.960444 | 348 | 1.546875 | 2 |
We build a robust and reliable collective that holds the government accountable to principles of transparent, competitive markets and corrects imbalances of power in the agricultural sector.
Packers and Stockyards Act Reform
OCM is building collective power in support of marketplace safeguards that would strengthen the Packers and Stockyards Act (P&S Act). For decades, the government honored its role in safeguarding transparency and competitivity in the agricultural marketplace. In 1921, in an attempt to right the market and to ensure consumers and farmers were treated fairly, the U.S. Congress passed the P&S Act. With the enforcement of this new law, by 1976, the Big Four meatpacking companies only controlled about 25% of the market. Unfortunately, since then, the government has reneged on its responsibilities. The courts narrowed the enforcement ability of the P&S Act, and by the mid-90s, the Big Four meatpacking companies controlled about 80% of the market. We are working to create a world where family farmers and their rural communities thrive, where government works for the people and not corporations, and family farmers and finally have the political, economic and social power to push back against transnational corporations.
Break Up Monopolistic Meatpacker JBS
OCM has led an effort to shed light on the abusive practices of world’s largest meatpacker, JBS. We educate our elected officials and help the press research and report on the true face of this corporate behemoth. JBS has grown from a single small slaughterhouse in Brazil to a meat processing monopoly who uses unjust market moves to drive farmers and ranchers out of business, who disregards public health and safety by forcing the worldwide trade of rotten meat, and who lines its pockets while gouging the consumers at the retail grocery and destroying the Amazon forest. It’s time to strip JBS of its illicit gain and split the company up.
Moratorium on Food and Ag Mega-Mergers
OCM supported the drafting of the Food and Agribusiness Merger Moratorium and Antitrust Review Act of 2018. The proposed federal legislation would place an 18-month moratorium on large agribusiness, food and beverage manufacturing, and grocery retail mergers and acquisitions and would establish a commission to review mergers, concentration and market power in those sectors. Now that the legislation is filed in Congress, we are focused on the important work of building advocacy power to counter the undue influence of special interests in government and support the passage of the legislation through the House and Senate. The government must own its role in safeguarding transparency and competitivity in the agricultural marketplace.
Checkoff Program Reform
OCM has long been a leader in the effort to reform the federal commodity checkoff programs which lack transparency and accountability to the farmers and ranchers mandated to pay into the programs. Our campaign takes a three-pronged approach, working through litigation, federal legislation, and advocating for state level reforms. OCM is the plaintiff in a lawsuit calling for the release of beef checkoff program spending information that is being withheld by the government on behalf of industry special interests. We are also advocating for federal legislation that would reform the federal checkoff programs to prohibit lobbying, rein in conflicts of interest, and stop anti-competitive activities. Finally, OCM is leading a call on State Auditors, Attorneys General and Budget Committees to audit the federal beef checkoff dollars at the state level. Once again, we call on the government to free itself from the undue influence of special interests and own its role in safeguarding transparency and competitivity in the agricultural marketplace.
Country of Origin Labeling
OCM is working for the reinstatement of mandatory Country of Origin Labeling and to ensure honest use of the voluntary “Product of U.S.A.” label. In 2018, OCM and the American Grassfed Association filed a petition with the United States Department of Agriculture to ensure only U.S. domestic meat products could be labeled “Product of U.S.A.” By upholding a loose legal definition of “Product of U.S.A.” the government disregards consumer rights for transparency. Further, the government deprives producers of the ability to honestly differentiate their products, which gives transnational companies yet one more tool to toughen their stranglehold on the market. We’ve committed to the hard work of dismantling the undue power of transnational companies over our farms and our communities. | <urn:uuid:64c9f68e-827b-40f5-b439-94e6b0162e55> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://competitivemarkets.com/our-work/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572870.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817062258-20220817092258-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.949409 | 914 | 1.953125 | 2 |
22 January, 2019
A group of five black men shouted insults while protesting centuries of oppression. Catholic high school students gathered in Washington to protest abortion. And Native Americans marched to end injustice for indigenous people around the world.
These three groups met just for a few minutes Friday at the base of Washington's Lincoln Memorial. The unexpected meetings were captured on video. Short parts of those videos then went viral on social media in the United States. They cast attention on a deeply divided nation that seems unable to agree on anything.
At first the attention of the internet centered on a short video of one of the high school students, Nick Sandmann. He wore a red "Make America Great Again" hat, demonstrating his support for President Donald Trump. In part of the video, he appeared to be smiling and facing off against a 64-year-old Native American, Nathan Phillips, who was playing a traditional song on a drum.
Sandmann's classmates gathered around the two, laughing.
In other videos taken Friday, members of a group calling itself the Black Hebrew Israelites were seen insulting many people marching on the National Mall, including Sandmann's student group. They also shouted offensive remarks to the Native Americans taking part in the Indigenous Peoples March.
Videos from Friday were all over social media. They became leading news stories in the United States.
Now, all parties involved agree: the short viral videos do not show the full story.
The videos showed students from Kentucky's Covington Catholic Highschool laughing at Phillips' Native American group and jokingly singing along with him. Phillips told reporters he had heard the students shout things like "Build that wall!" and "Go back to the reservation!"
But Sandmann, the Catholic high school student, said in a statement over the weekend: "I would caution everyone passing judgment based on a few seconds of video to watch the longer clips that are on the internet, as they show a much different story..."
The fullest explanation of what may have happened comes from a long video published on Facebook by Shar Yaqataz Banyamyan. It showed members of his Black Hebrew Israelite group repeatedly talking with the crowd as people from the Indigenous Peoples March and the high school students argued with them.
Sandmann said in his statement that the students from his all-male high school were waiting for their buses near Banyamyan's group. Members of the group then started to shout insults at the students.
Phillips said he tried to step between the two groups to calm the situation.
The full video also shows some of the students trying to do a traditional war dance of New Zealand's indigenous Maori people. The dance was made famous by the country's rugby sports team.
Phillips and Marcus Frejo, another Native American, said they felt the students were making fun of the dance. They walked into the crowd to intervene.
Phillips and Sandmann locked eyes, their faces only centimeters apart. Both men said their goal was simply to make sure things did not get out of control.
The high school students felt they were unfairly seen as the enemies in a situation they said they did not start.
But the Roman Catholic Diocese of Covington has apologized for the incident. It said it would carry out an investigation that could lead to punishment -- including dismissal -- if any wrongdoing by the students was found.
The Indigenous Peoples Movement felt the encounter was a reminder that the U.S. was founded on racism and that Trump's presidency is increasing hatred based on skin color.
On Tuesday, Trump commented about the situation on Twitter, writing, "Nick Sandmann and the students of Covington have become symbols of Fake News and how evil it can be."
Banyamyan posted his own reaction on Facebook. He recalled the dozens of high school students in their "Make America Great Again" gear coming over to his small group and chanting. Banyamyan praised Phillips and called Sandmann evil.
After the sun set Friday and the high school students had left, Banyamyan's video recording showed a few police officers stopping by to check on the group. One of the officers said they were worried by the number of people who had gathered for a short time in that one place. One of the Black Hebrew Israelites said there were no problems.
"We weren't threatened by them," he told officers. "It was an okay dialogue."

First and Only Treatment Approved in Canada
for Routine Prevention of Attacks
of a Rare Swelling Disorder
MONTRÉAL, March 23, 2016 /CNW Telbec/ - Shire Pharma Canada ULC ("Shire Canada") today announced that CINRYZE is now available in Canada to patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE) who may benefit from routine prevention. CINRYZE is the first and only treatment in Canada with an approved indication for routine prevention against angioedema attacks in adolescent and adult patients with HAE; a rare and potentially life-threatening genetic disorder that causes acute swelling attacks in different parts of the body.
The Canadian Blood Services (CBS) will distribute CINRYZE throughout the country, except for Québec. Shire Canada is actively working to provide HAE patients in Québec with timely access to CINRYZE, like all other Canadians.
"The launch of CINRYZE in Canada marks yet another important milestone that further strengthens our commitment to Canadians living with HAE," said Eric Tse, Shire Canada General Manager. "Shire is now able to provide Canadians with a portfolio of two complementary treatments for HAE: CINRYZE and FIRAZYR®**."
Canadians prescribed CINRYZE by their physician for the prevention of their HAE attacks are eligible to enroll in the Shire OnePath®*** Patient Support Program to access services designed to train patients to prepare and self-infuse CINRYZE, among other services.
"HAE often takes a physical and emotional toll on patients and their families, which is why it is essential that people living with the condition have access to treatment options that best meet their individual needs," mentioned Jacquie Badiou, HAE Canada President. "The fact that Canadians with HAE have access to yet another Health Canada approved treatment option marks an important step forward in providing more choices for the Canadian HAE community to improve their quality of life."
HAE is a rare condition that affects approximately 1 in 50,000 individuals,i,ii or approximately 720 Canadians.iii The swelling episodes caused by HAE do not follow a typical pattern, which means individuals living with the condition can never predict the onset nor body site of the next attack. The frequency, duration and severity of the edema vary considerably. Untreated patients with HAE can lose 100 to 150 work days per year, if not moreiv.
*CINRYZE is a registered trade-mark of ViroPharma Biologics, Inc.
**FIRAZYR is a registered trademark used under licence from Shire Orphan Therapies GmbH
***ONEPATH is a registered trademark of Shire Human Genetic Therapies, Inc.
CINRYZE is a highly purified, pasteurized and nanofiltered plasma-derived C1 esterase inhibitor product administered intravenously. CINRYZE is approved in Canada for routine prophylaxis (prevention) against angioedema attacks in adolescent and adult patients with HAE.
The most common adverse reaction observed following CINRYZE infusion in clinical studies was rash. Severe hypersensitivity reactions to CINRYZE may occur. Thrombotic events have occurred in patients receiving CINRYZE, and in patients receiving off-label high dose C1 inhibitor therapy. Monitor patients with known risk factors for thrombotic events. With any blood or plasma derived product, there may be a risk of transmission of infectious agents, e.g. viruses and, theoretically, the CJD agent. The risk has been reduced by screening donors for prior exposure to certain virus infections and by manufacturing steps to reduce the risk of viral transmission including pasteurization and nanofiltration.
For more information about CINRYZE, please consult the product monograph available here: http://www.shirecanada.com/en/PDF/CINRYZE_PM_EN.pdf.

Nevertheless, there is yet another way by which you are able to protect your self which is through the use of a mask that’s extremely inexpensive but nonetheless provides the extent of safety which you require. With this particular approach you’ll not have to be concerned about the price in the mask which is also very inexpensive. By doing this you will be able to purchase the proper type of mask which is ideal for your needs and then use this mask to aid minimize the number of instances of sickness which happen also helps you to keep the potential risk of infection to a bare minimum. Furthermore, you will find an enormous range of distinct designs and designs available which means you can discover one that fits your personal needs.

CHRIST DYING FOR EVERYTHING
Now we need to consider how we can prove that God in Christ died for everything. Christ’s death was not only for us sinners but also for everything, including all of creation with the angels. Hebrews 2:9 says that Christ tasted death on behalf of everything. This means He died for everything. The word everything is very strong in Greek. Everyone means every man, but Hebrews 2:9 says that Christ tasted death, not for everyone but for everything. The Lord Jesus’ redemption was accomplished not only for people but for everything created by God.
Colossians 1:20 says, "And through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross—through Him, whether the things on the earth or the things in the heavens." This is the second verse that proves Christ’s death was for all things. Not only the things on the earth but also the things in the heavens needed to be reconciled to God through Christ’s blood. God reconciled all things to Himself through Christ. Hebrews 2:9 and Colossians 1:20 show that Christ died for everything, for the whole creation.
Romans 8:21 says, "In hope that the creation itself will also be freed from the slavery of corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God." The whole creation needs to be freed from the slavery of corruption, so the whole creation needs Christ’s redemption. Everything in the old creation is corrupting, decaying, dying. Everything created in the whole universe needs redemption. Eventually, the millennium will be a time of the restoration of all things. Restoration implies degradation, and degradation came from sin.
In the universe two rebellions brought in death, corruption, and degradation to the entire creation. One was the satanic rebellion, and the other was man’s rebellion. Before man’s rebellion there was a satanic rebellion which contaminated the heavens. Satan’s rebellion contaminated, made filthy, all the heavenly things. Such a contaminated, degraded universe can be restored only through Christ’s redemption. Before the creation can be restored, it has to be redeemed. Christ died on the cross for all the items of the creation so that He could reconcile all these items back to God. Christ’s redemption is a foundation laid for the upcoming restoration. When the restoration comes, the slavery of corruption will be over. Today the entire creation is under the slavery of corruption, so the entire creation is groaning. Everything is groaning because everything is under the slavery of corruption.
Hebrews 9:21-24 shows that Christ’s blood was for the purification of all the heavenly things. The tabernacle and all things pertaining to it were sprinkled with and purified by the blood of goats and bulls. That was a figure showing that the heavenly things needed to be purified by the blood of better sacrifices, which are the sacrifices of Christ (Heb. 7:27; 9:14, 28; 10:10, 12, 14). Christ offered Himself as the one sacrifice (9:14; 10:12). This one sacrifice, viewed from its various aspects, can be considered many sacrifices. Heaven and all things in heaven were defiled by the rebellion of Satan and the fallen angels, who followed Satan in his rebellion against God. So all the heavenly things needed to be purified. Christ accomplished this purification with His own blood when He entered into heaven itself.
Christ’s tasting death for all things and reconciling all things to God is clearly typified by the redemption accomplished through Noah’s ark, in which not only eight persons but also all living things created by God were saved (Gen. 7:13-23). Noah’s ark saved not only eight people but also all the creatures.
Another type of Christ dying for all things is the veil in the temple being rent when the Lord died. When Christ died, the veil of the temple was split in two from top to bottom (Matt. 27:51). On the veil there were cherubim embroidered (Exo. 26:31). According to Ezekiel 1:5, 10 and 10:14-15, cherubim are living creatures. The cherubim on the veil, then, indicated the living creatures. When the veil was rent, all the creatures were rent also. That means when Christ died on the cross, all the creatures died with Him.

The intersecting economic, health and climate crises of 2020 have made one thing clear for building professionals moving forward: Buildings must support human and environmental health.
The operational benefits of green buildings have long been proven, and continue to serve owners, investors and tenants. Green buildings increase asset value, have lower vacancy rates and operating costs, and rent for higher premiums. With the business case firmly in hand, it’s incumbent on building professionals to double down on communicating how a space is supporting people and communities.
Certification programs like LEED have always been essential for businesses looking to demonstrate accountability. Consider, for instance, that disaster costs in the U.S. in 2020 almost doubled from 2019 reaching $95 billion. It accelerated financial markets to look for reliable ways to assess climate risk. LEED’s latest version, LEED v4.1, provides a data-driven approach to certification, and outlines strategies that enhance building resilience.
One of LEED’s system goals has always been to support the health and well-being of people. It’s why more than 70% of LEED’s credits address health in some way.
Fortunately, Colorado has long been a leader in green building, and even though 2020 was fraught with challenges, green building commitments continued. The industry’s progress is reflected in the U.S. Green Building Council’s (USGBC) 2020 list of Top 10 States for LEED Green Building. While the state slipped from its No. 1 spot in 2019, it still ranked No. 4, showing that while many industries screeched to a halt, green building continued. Offices, education-related spaces, warehouses and distribution centers were the primary types of projects that certified.
|Rank||State||2020 GSF Per Capita||2020 Certifications||2020 GSF||2010 Population|
|*||District of Columbia||39.53||129||23,783,731||601,723|
*Due to D.C.’s status as a federal district it is not included in the official ranking of states, but is a national leader in green building.
Building and construction across the state is moving forward, and a focus on health and climate action is likely to remain. LEED’s Safety First pilot credits and tools like Arc Re-Entry provide the resources and verification that teams need to rebuild people’s trust that spaces are good for them and their communities.
Accelerating this work also requires a knowledgeable workforce, which is why USGBC also released a list of states with the most LEED green building professionals. Based on the total number of active LEED professionals, Colorado ranked No. 8 with more than 6,300 workers.
|Rank||State||Total # of Credential Holders|
It is critical that building teams get engaged with LEED now. They can register projects to pursue certification and learn more about LEED professional credentials at usgbc.org. For projects not yet ready for certification, teams can start benchmarking and tracking sustainability performance for free using Arc.

Buoy 46059, Hi-res Buoys
On Tuesday (3/8) in North and Central CA raw local swell was 8-9 ft on the face and jumbled with local windswell intermixed and northwest winds adding chop. Down in Santa Cruz surf was 2 ft overhead and reasonably lined up, but still not very organized. At least it was clean. In Southern California up north surf was head high or so and lined up but a bit warbled and unorganized even though winds were light. Down south the same local swell was producing waves at 3-4 ft overhead on the sets and pounding, with clean conditions and a strong southward current. Hawaii's North Shore was getting northwest windswell with waves head high to 2 ft overhead and clean making for some fun surf. The South Shore was head high or so and blown out with south wind and chop in control. The East Shore was getting wraparound windswell with waves thigh to waist high and clean with southeast winds in control for the moment.
See QuikCASTs for the 5 day surf overview or read below for the detailed view.
Raw swell from a gale that was off the immediate California coast over the weekend into Monday (3/7) was still hitting, but on it's way down. A tiny gale is forecast moving into California waters on Fri (3/11) with 26 ft seas just off Cape Mendocino, generating more local raw swell. A far broader system is forecast tracking southeast through the Gulf of Alaska Fri-Sat (3/12) generating up to 42 ft seas targeting the US West Coast. More larger raw swell is possible. Then a quiet pattern is to set up.
SHORT- TERM FORECAST
Current marine weather and wave analysis.cgius forecast conditions for the next 72 hours
On Tuesday AM (3/8) the jet was .cgiit tracking off Japan finally consolidating just east of the dateline and forming a small tight and pinched trough just 700 nmiles northwest of Hawaii. East of there the jet was consolidated ridging northwest some with winds to 180 kts, then diving southeast into another trough that was pushing over Southern California and Baja, moving onshore there. In all there was only limited support for gale development in the trough northwest of Hawaii. Over the next 72 hours the Hawaiian trough is to redevelop and broaden while moving east into the Gulf of Alaska on Thurs (3/10) supported by a consolidated jet and winds in the 130 kt range. That trough to move onshore over Central CA on Fri (3/11) offering some support for gale development. But back to the west the jet is to become very .cgiit over the dateline with the northern branch tracking northeast from Japan up to the northern dateline region while the southern branch runs flat west to east pushing directly over Hawaii. Good support for high pressure development. Beyond 72 hours a secondary trough is to develop in the Eastern Gulf Sun (3/13) moving onshore over Central CA on Mon (3/13) with 130 kt winds flowing into it, supporting gale development but also weather relative to CA. Back to the west the worst of the .cgiit jet is to north of Hawaii on Mon (3/14) and poised to be into the US West Coast 24 hours later. Back to the west a rather weak and muddled jetstream flow is to be taking over the North Pacific. A steep trough is forecast north of Hawaii on Tues (3/15) with 130 kts winds feeding it, offering some hope to support gale development at lower levels of the atmosphere. But west of there winds to be only 90 kts with the jet mostly .cgiit and suggestive of nothing that would support gale development. The Inactive Phase of the MJO is setting up.
On Tuesday (3/8) residual raw swell from another local gale previously off California was fading on the north end of the state and peaking in the south (See local California Gale below).
Over the next 72 hours starting Wed AM (3/9) another weak local gale is to develop 500 nmiles west of San Francisco lifting northeast generating 30-35 kts southwest winds and seas building. By the evening it is to be impacting Oregon with 30-35 kt west to northwest winds generating 20 ft seas from off San Francisco moving onshore into the CA-Oregon border. Raw proto-swell expected pushing into North CA early Thurs (3/10).
On Wed AM (3/9) high pressure is to be setting up just west of Hawaii at 1028 mbs. But a small gale is to build east of it and 900 nmiles north of Hawaii producing a small area of 35 kts northwest winds sending sideband energy towards the Islands. In the evening 40 kt northwest winds to be falling southeast and positioned 700 nmiles north-northeast of Hawaii generating 22 ft seas at 34N 155W. Winds to be fading from 35 kts Thurs AM (3/10) northeast of Hawaii with seas fading from 20 ft at 31N 148W offering no swell for anyone. Remnants of this system to race northeast and reorganize just off Cape Mendocino CA on Fri AM (3/11) generating 45 kt northwest winds and seas building from 22 ft at 38N 130W. the fetch is to be moving onshore over Cape Mendo in the evening with winds fading from 35 kts and seas 25 ft at 38N 125W or just off Pt Arena and Pt Reyes. Large raw wind driven swell possible for North CA on Fri night, early Sat AM (3/12).
Of more interest is a storm forecast developing over the intersection of the dateline and the Aleutians on Thurs AM (3/10) with west winds 45-50 just just south of the Aleutians aimed east. In the evening 50 kt northwest winds to be moving into the Western Gulf of Alaska generating 39 ft seas up at 50N 168W. On Fri AM (3/11) a elongated fetch of 45 kts northwest winds to be tracking into the Central Gulf generating 42 ft at 47N 160W targeting Oregon and California. In the evening the gale is to be approaching the US West Coast with 40 kt west winds generating 36 ft seas at 45N 153W. Sat AM (3/12) winds to be fading from 30-35 kts over a broad area just 600 nmiles west of California with seas fading from 32 ft at 42N 146W. In the evening 30 kt west winds to stall off the North Coast with seas fading from 29 ft at 41N 140W. The gale is to dissipate from there but with remnants energy continuing to circulate stalled off the coast and slowly easing east through Tues (3/15). Much local weather is expected in sync with the swell arriving in California.
Local California Gale
Another weak weather system developed off North CA on Sat AM (3/5) producing 35 kt west winds 1200 nmiles out and seas to 23 ft at 41N 148W. A broad area of 30-35 kts west winds pushed east in the evening starting to reach the coast and generating more 24 ft seas at 40N 140W targeting all of California. Additional west fetch at 35 kts developed Sun AM (3/6) just off North CA generating seas of 26 ft at at 37N 138W targeting Central CA. The fetch was just off San Francisco in the evening with seas to 26 ft 600 nmiles west of there at 37N 134W. Additional northwest fetch held just off the coast into Mon AM (3/7) at 35-40 kts with seas 26 ft just of Pt Conception targeting mainly Southern CA and moving over the Channel Islands by evening and into Baja Tues AM (3/8). Raw conditions seem likely nearshore for this entire window.
North CA: Swell fading Tues AM (3/8) from 11 ft @ 14 secs (15 ft). Conditions unrideable except at the most protected breaks for the duration of this event. Swell Direction: 270 turning to 290 degrees late in the swells life.
South CA: Larger swell to arrive Tues AM (3/8) well before sunrise peaking at sunrise at 7.6 ft @ 14-15 secs (11 ft) fading some through the day. Residuals fading on Wed AM (3/9) from 4.5 ft @ 14 secs (6 ft). Swell Direction: 275-280 degs initially turning to 290 degrees late in the swells life.

California Nearshore Forecast
On Tuesday AM (3/8) high pressure was ridging into the North end of the state after days of rain. North winds in control early burt are to be fading as the day progresses. Possible light rain for San Francisco northward starting at sunset from a new front developing off the coast. Wednesday winds to fade to calm while a new front builds and moves into the north end of the state with south winds 20 kts for Pt Reyes northward. Rain for Monterey Bay northward mainly early and some light snow for Tahoe. Thursday the front is to dissolve while pushing into San Francisco with southwest wind 20 kt to Monterey Bay early. Solid rain over the North and Central Coast pushing south to Monterey Bay. Maybe a few inches of snow for Tahoe late afternoon. Friday AM the storm door is to open fully again with southwest to west winds 20+ kts reaching down to Southern CA late afternoon with solid rain for the entire state reaching down to San Diego late afternoon. A good push of snow for the Sierra overnight. The next front queues up Sat AM (3/12) off North CA with southwest winds 25+ kts reaching to Monterey Bay late afternoon. Modest rain pushing south to Big Sur late night. North winds for Southern CA later in the day. Sunday light winds are forecast early except up north where another front is forecast developing off North CA. South winds 20+ kts reaching to San Francisco late afternoon and rain to Pt Conception late evening. Modest snow for Tahoe late evening. Monday AM the front passes south through Central CA and dissipates with rain all day eventually reaching San Diego. Heavy snow for the Sierra. Tuesday high pressure and north winds take over the state. Light steady rain fading. Large high pressure is to be queued up off the coast.
All this is attributable to the Active Phase of the MJO moving east into the US West Coast.
No swell producing fetch of interest is forecast.

Subsurface Warm Pool Making a Slight Comeback
Kelvin Wave #6 Possibly Developing, But Very Weak
The Madden Julian Oscillation is a periodic weather cycle that tracks east along the equator circumnavigating the globe. It is characterized in it's Inactive Phase by enhanced trade winds and dry weather over the part of the equatorial Pacific it is in control of, and in it's Active Phase by slack if not an outright reversal of trade winds and enhanced precipitation. The oscillation occurs in roughly 20-30 day cycles (Inactive for 20-30 days, then Active for 20-30 days) over any single location on the.cgianet, though most noticeable in the Pacific. During the Active Phase in the Pacific the MJO tends to support the formation of stronger and longer lasting gales resulting in enhanced potential for the formation of swell producing storms. Prolonged and consecutive Active MJO Phases help support the formation of El Nino. During the Inactive Phase the jet stream tends to .cgiit resulting in high pressure and less potential for swell producing storm development. The paragraphs below analyze the state of the MJO in the Pacific and provide forecasts for MJO activity (which directly relate to the potential for swell production).
Overview: A strong El Nino has developed. It began its lifecycle in late 2013 as a primer WWB and Kelvin Wave developed. Then in early 2014 a historically strong push by the Active Phase of the MJO resulted in a large Kelvin Wave, and anomalies continued in the Spring into early Summer transporting more warm water eastward. But the cycle faltered in July due to a protracted bout of the Inactive Phase of the MJO which enabled the upwelling phase of the Kelvin Wave cycle to manifest driving cooler water east, muting warm water buildup along the Ecuador coast. Still the warm water pipe remained open, but surface temperatures near the Galapagos never recovered and any atmospheric momentum was lost. Then in early 2015, another historically strong push from the MJO occurred, effectively a repeat of the early 2014 event, invigorating the warm water transport process and, adding more heat to an already anomalously warm surface pool off Ecuador. That pool built steadily in spurts, peaking in the Oct-Nov, timeframe, then began a slow decline. But even in Jan 2016, the strongest Westerly Wind Burst of the event occurred, with another Kelvin Wave developing. But it was too little too late. There was not any real warm water left in the West Pacific to transport east. El Nino was in a steady collapse by mid-Feb with the subsurface warm reservoir in the East Pacific in steep decline with cool water ready to move in migrating from the west. The paragraphs below describe the current status of various El Nino indicators, followed by a paragraph that ties all the pieces together and provide our analysis of what is to come.
KWGA/Equatorial Surface Wind Analysis & Short-term Forecast:
Analysis from TAO Buoys: As of Mon (3/7) weak west winds were south of the equator from 160E to 165W mainly between 3-5S. Otherwise east winds prevailed and strong over the entire zone mainly north of the equator. Anomalies were strong from the west from 180W to 160W south on and of the equator. El Nino continued expressing itself modestly.
1 Week Forecast: A WWB developed in the KWGA on 2/16, then built to near WWB status 2/23 and continued through 3/2. They faded to just anomalies on 3/4 and are loosing coverage today, expected to dissipate 3/9 with a dead neutral pattern taking hold. Possible Kelvin Wave #6 is in flight. At that time positive influence of the jetstream will fade as will manifestation of El Nino. The only east anomalies that occurred in 2015 and 2016 (so far) in the KWGA were from 12/7-12/17 during an Inactive Phase of the MJO. For Now an El Nino pattern continues to hold control.
Kelvin Wave Generation Area wind monitoring model: West and East
Comparison of 2 Strong Westerly Wind Bursts (WWB)
On left the massive WWB in late June/July that created large Kelvin Wave #3. On right the current WWB that is generating Kelvin Wave #4.
Scales are a little different but notice anomalies in the July event at 12-14 m/s est (24-28 kts) and now in Oct at 13-14 m/s (26-28 kts)

Longer Range MJO/WWB Projections:
OLR Models: As of Mon (3/7) a modest Inactive Phase of the MJO was in the West Pacific moving east with a neutral pattern elsewhere. The Statistic model projects the Inactive Phase moving east and fading over the next 2 weeks, reaching the dateline. The dynamic model depicts the same thing, but with the Inactive Phase fading to nothing while moving east, with a dead neutral pattern in control 7 days to 2 weeks out. This suggests El Nino influence of the jetstream fading as the Inactive Phase destructively integrates with it by 3/14.
Phase Diagrams 2 week forecast (ECMF and GEFS): The ECMF model indicates a moderately Active MJO signal in the Eastern Atlantic and very weak. It is to track east over the next 2 weeks while tracking to the Maritime Continent. The GEFS depicts the same general pattern but with the MJO weakening even more. West winds/anomalies in the KWGA are to start fading as the Active Phase moves well out of the Pacific Basin, with a weaker jetstream flow and weaker storm track forecast.
40 Day Upper Level Model: The Inactive Phase was over the West Pacific and forecast to track east to Central America through 3/28. A weak Active Phase to return to the West Pacific 4/2 moving to the East Pacific 4/17.
CFS Model beyond 1 week (850 mb wind): The Active Phase of the MJO is past it's peak intensity positioned south of California easing into the Atlantic with west wind anomalies in rapid decline. Fuel for the jetstream and therefore storm production are in decline everywhere but the east North Pacific. The model depicts west anomalies weak to nearly gone through 3/23 with the Inactive Phase of the MJO in control. The Active Phase is to develop 3/25 in the West Pacific holding through 4/17. Modest west anomalies are forecast through that window. Another Inactive Phase to develop starting 4/18 but with west anomalies holding into mid-May, driven mainly by El Nino.
CFSv2 3 month forecast for 850 mb winds, MJO, Rossby etc
Subsurface Waters Temps
TAO Array: (3/8) Actual temperatures remain decent but are fading. A large pocket of 29 deg temps were at depth between 140E to 155W with the 28 deg isotherm line easing east to the Galapagos, the furthest east of this event. Anomaly wise things are collapsing. +2 deg anomalies are from 175W and points eastward but getting steadily shallower. No 4 deg anomalies or higher are present. 3 deg anomalies are from 122W eastward. This is the last of the El Nino subsurface reservoir. No warmer temps remain. Cool subsurface waters are down at 150m and racing east now reaching the Ecuador Coast. The warm pool is is steep decline. Per the hi-res GODAS animation posted 3/4 the reservoir is fading but warm water is still flowing into it from near the dateline attributable to Kelvin Wave #6. No real warm waters is associated with it, unless you consider +2-3 deg anomalies a legit Kelvin Wave. A small +4 deg core attributable solely to WWB #5 was fading at 110W. +3 deg anomalies are retreating east from 130W. The subsurface reservoir is shrinking steadily. Kelvin Wave #5 has put the end of this ENSO event on hold for now, but even it's end is in sight. And Kelvin Wave #6 will only delay the inevitable a little longer.
Sea Surface Height Anomalies (SSHA): (3/4) The image depicts the warm pool rebuilding slightly. 0-+5 cm anomalies are holding for the moment covering the entire equatorial Pacific starting at 163W (steady for the moment). Peak anomalies have redeveloped at +15 cm near 125W. +10 cm anomalies and growing in coverage between 105W-160W. The subsurface warm pool is rebuilding some, holding on barely thanks to weak Kelvin Waves #5 and #6.
Upper Ocean Heat Content: (3/4) Temps are fading fast. +0.5-1.0 deg anomalies are fading from 128W extending east to the Galapagos. +1.0-1.5 degs anomalies are retracting some from 116W. No warmer anomalies exist. The Downwelling Phase of Kelvin Wave #5 is over. Temps have dropped from Ecuador to the Galapagos to 0.5-1.0 degs and moving east. But the eastern periphery, instead of pushing east is growing to the west, currently at 100W, demarking the Upwelling Phase of Kelvin Wave #4. This El Nino remains westward di.cgiaced. Kelvin waves #5 and #6 are only serving to hold off the emergence of La Nina at this point.
Surface Water Temps: The more warm water in the equatorial East Pacific means more storm production in the North Pacific during winter months (roughly speaking). Cold water in that area has a dampening effect. Regardless of what the atmospheric models and surface winds suggest, actual water temperatures are a ground-truth indicator of what is occurring in the ocean. All data is from blended infrared and microwave sensors.
Hi-res Nino1.2: (3/7) The latest image indicates temps are fading some from the Galapagos westward with +2.25 deg anomalies on the equator extending 3 degs north and south out to 130W, but loosing concentration. Marked cooling is occurring east of the Galapagos. But some warming is occurring in a thin pool along the coast of Peru. Warming in this area peaked on 7/14 then crashed and has been trying to rebuild ever since.
Hi-res Nino 3.4: (3/7) The latest image depicts this area is rapid decline other than between 120W to 130W, part of the Nino1.2 warming mentioned above. This is attributable to Kelvin Wave #5.
Hi-res 7 day Trend (3/7): Weak warming is occurring west of the Galapagos mainly south of the equator attributable to Kelvin Wave #5 with cooling east of it thanks to the Upwelling Phase of Kelvin Wave #4.
Hi-res Overview: (3/7) The El Nino signal is unmistakable but is no longer building and showing signs of finally moving to the east with most warm anomalies now between 90W-140W.
Historical Comparison of Strong El Nino's
Images built using 2 data sets - Monthly OISSTv.2 (left) & ERSSTv4 (right) This years data valid through November.
Both images/datasets suggest this is the warmest the NINO3.4 region has ever been. Now the question becomes: Will that translate in weather and swell? If the theory that temps in this area translate in stormier weather, then the answer is obvious.

TAO Data: +1.0 anomalies are in control over the entire equatorial East Pacific, the warmest in years, advecting west from the Galapagos covering the entire area west to the dateline and beyond. The +0.0 anomaly line on the equator is not present (formally at 140E). +1.5 deg anomalies are extending west to 176E and east to at least 95W. There is also a solid area of +2.0 deg anomalies extending from 173W (steady) and now reaching east to 110W. No +2.5 anomalies are present. Overall the warm water signature is solid but on the decline in the west, but building some in the east.
Nino1.2 Daily CDAS Index Temps: (3/8) Temps started building some starting on 2/23, up some today at +1.329, rising from a recent low of +0.5 degs in mid-Feb. Previously they peaked here for 5 days at +2.581 near 10/8 and previously at +3.0 degs on 7/3, faded, then spiked again on 7/13 at +3.0 degs and yet again at +3.0 degs on 7/22.
Nino 3.4 Daily CDAS Index Temps: Today (3/8) temps were steady at +2.087. They fell below the +2.0 mark on 2/25 for the first time since when this El Nino first started developing, and below the +2.5 deg range that was reached in late Dec through Feb 11. The all time peak was reached at +3.041 on 12z 11/19. This temp beat the previous all time high of +3.028 degs (12Z 11/17), Temps have not been below +2.0 degs since 8/21.
Nino3.0 CDAS Index Temps: (3/8) Today's values are stabilize at +1.952, up some from +1.848 on 2/28, but otherwise declining since 1/16. Peak temps occurred 12/6 at +2.989, and +2.990 (11/28).
Nino3.4 Monthly Temps (January) The centered Nino3.4 temps for the month of Feb were +2.19 (beating '98 which was +1.89 and '83 which was +1.84). Jan readings were +2.23 (beating '98 which was +2.21 and '83 which was +2.13). December was +2.31 (beating 97 which was +2.23 and 82 at +2.21). November was +2.36 degs (beating the highest temp recorded in '97 Nov - +2.32 degs and beating '82 +2.03 degs). Oct temps were +2.03 degs. See updated graphs above. The ONI uses a 3 month running average.
ONI For 2015 for the 3 month period centered on Sept, Oct, Nov and Dec the values are: +1.8, +2.1. +2.2 +2.3. For the same period in '97 the values were: +2.0, +2.2, +2.3 and +2.3. And for '82 the values were: +1.5, +1.9, +2.1 and +2.1. This make this years El Nino the second strongest on record since 1950.
Note: ERSSTv4 'centered' data is not available for Nino1, 3 and 4 regions, only Nino3.4.
Pacific Counter Current: As of 2/15 the current was strong from the east on the equator from 160E to 145W. East current was also present from Galapagos to 145W. Anomaly wise - One pocket of solid east anomalies was between 160E to 145W on the equator. Otherwise everything was effectively normal. There were no pockets of west anomalies indicated. El Nino is in solid decline based on this data.
SST Anomaly Projections
CFSv2 Uncorrected Data depicts peak temps were reached at +2.95 degs on Nov 5, then faded slightly in early December to +2.8 holding to Feb 1. Then a sharp decline started with temps down to +2.5 degs mid-Feb. The forecast indicates temps fading fast to +2.0 by 3/1, then steadily declining from there before stabilizing at +0.75 degs in June and starting to rebuild in Oct. This would still be El Nino threshold temps. Hard to believe and is a minority opinion.
IRI Consensus Plume: The mid-Jan Plume depicts temps peaked in Jan, at +2.8 degs. The consensus suggests temps to fall steadily from here forward, down to -0.7 by October. See chart here - link.
Atmospheric Co.cgiing Index's (lagging indicators rather than driving oceanic change):
Daily Southern Oscillation Index (3/8): It was rising steadily as the Active Phase faded, at 6.40. The 97 El Nino had daily values at -40 to -50 in early Nov with one spurt to -76 Jan 30-31st. Notable deep readings in this 2015-16 event were: -49.70/-46.60 on Oct 3 & 4, -42.20 on 10/14, -47.50 on 12/3, -38.50 on 1/2, -40.20 on 2/17. Then the peak of this event occurred 2/22 at -50.30 and -49.10 on 2/29.
30 Day Average: Was rising from -22.84. The peak low was recorded on 1/26/16 at -24.89, with a secondary peak on 3/6 at -23.00. Another peak occurred on 10/9 at -22.72, beating the previous peak low of -20.95 on 8/21, with the previous lowest at -20.49 on 7/18/15. This is exactly where we want to be (at -20 or lower).
90 Day Average: Was rising some at -16.15. A record low of -19.28 occurred on 10/16 and was matched on 10/20. The previous record low was -18.56 on 9/16. A recent low of
SOI trend - Tahiti (looking for low pressure here): On 3/8 weak high pressure was south of Tahiti but is to be followed a few days out by neutral pressure. The SOI is expected to start rising based on the Tahiti contribution and offer no further solid support to enhance El Nino or to fuel the jetstream as this Active Phase of the MJO dissipates. Its just too late in the season.
ESPI (like SOI but based on satellite confirmed precipitation): (3/8) Today's value was rising from +1.46. The most recent peak was +2.33 on 1/14. It also peaked at +2.40 on Sat (10/17) and was steady in the +2.5 range through 8/10, then began falling. Historically the peak of the '82 El Nino was +2.2 and the '97 event +2.85. This suggests the '15-16 El Nino is still reasonably well co.cgied with the atmosphere, more so than some of the other indices indicate.
Multivariate ENSO Index (MEI) (Feb) These numbers were released March 5th and indicate the index decreased slightly to +2.12. In Feb the readings increased slightly by 0.08 to +2.20, holding it in the third highest since 1950 behind the '82/83 and '97/98 El Ninos. Since it has not reached the +3.0 standard deviation level, it is NOT considered a Super El Nino, nor is it expected to reach that status. The Nov ranking was +2.31, up barely from +2.23 (Oct), down from it's peak of +2.53 in Sept, and from +2.37 in Aug. The top 6 events since 1950 in order are: '97, '82, '15, '91, '86, and '72 with '97 and '82 classified as 'Super El Nino's' because they reached 3 standard deviations (SD) above normal. '91 and '86 were at about 2.2 and 2.1 respectively with '72 peaking at 1.8 SD's above the norm.
Pacific Decadal Oscillation: The PDO turned from a 6 year negative run (2008-2013) in early 2014 and has been mostly above +1.5 all of 2015. In Jan 2016 it was +1.53. Looking at the long term record, it is premature to conclude that we have in-fact turned from the negative phase (La Nina 'like') to the positive phase (El Nino 'like'), but the data suggests that could be a real possibility. We've been in the negative phase since 1998 through at least 2013 (15 years). By the time it is confirmed (4-5 years out), we will be well into it.
North Pacific Jetstream (3/8) Detailed analysis is in the NPac Short Term Forecast above. The jet looks very good and is forecast to hold for a few more day, but then move into rapid decline as the Inactive Phase of the MJO takes over the dateline region. From a surf standpoint, it's all down hill from here.
Comparing the 2015 El Nino to '82 and '97
(Click to enlarge)
Conclusion: This El Nino is the 3rd strongest El Nino since 1950 based primarily on the MEI. Centered Monthly Nino3.4 data suggests it is the 2nd strongest. Based on California precipitation, this one does not compared to any major El Nino in recent memory. Solid precip is expected over the next week (3/3-3/10) as the Active Phase of the MJO moves east into California, but after that, it's over. Based on surf, El Nino has had the expected affect producing 11 significant class swells in the North Pacific so far this season. The target is 16, but that appears ambitious.
From a pure El Nino perspective, the peak of the event is over. But from a teleconnection standpoint, the warm pool in Nino3.4 is still imparting solid energy to the atmosphere and the jetstream is still positively being reinforced by it. That in combination with the Active Phase of the MJO is still rendering El Nino of significant positive influence on storm production and will continue to do so through mid-to late April. But with the Inactive Phase of the MJO scheduled to take over in the next 2 weeks, and the seasons moving towards Spring, the veracity of that influence will decline.
The focus now turns to how quick and how much will the jet be affected for the Fall and Winter of 2016-2017. It's too early to know anything definitive yet, but with the PDO still positive, it is possible the transition to La Nina may not be a strong as in past events.

Arsenic, in the solid state, may be detected by its volatility; heated over a spirit-lamp, it passes off in the form of a white vapor, devoid of smell, and is deposited on a cool surface as an amorphous powder, or in octahedral crystals. When arsenic is thrown on burning charcoal, it is deoxidized, and gives out the garlic ordor of metallic arsenic. When heated in a glass tube with charcoal or black flux, it sublimes, and condenses in the form of a brilliant steel-gray ring or mirror.
The following reagents will detect it when it is in aqueous solution: Sulphuretted hydrogen, or sulphide of ammonium, produces a lemon or yellow sulphide of arsenic; the addition first of ammonia, and then of nitrate of silver, produces a light-yellow arsenite of silver; the addition of potassa, and then of sulphate of copper, produces a light-green arsenite of copper. The most delicate test, however, is that of nascent hydrogen, known as Marsh's Test, which consists in subjecting the arsenic to the action of nascent hydrogen (evolved by the action of diluted sulphuric acid on pure zinc); it is deoxidized, and unites with the hydrogen to form arseniuretted hydrogen gas, which has the odor of garlic, and burns with a bluish-white flame, depositing a black spot of metallic arsenic on the surface of a cold plate held directly in the jet.
Reinsch's Test consists in boiling the suspected material with hydrochloric acid and clean copper foil, when, if any arsenic is present, the copper foil becomes coated with gray metallic arsenic.
Cobaltum (Formula, Co) - is a metal chiefly found in combination with arsenic, either in the form of the arsenide (tin-white cobalt), or as gray cobalt ore, with sulphur and arsenic. The late Dr. Robert Arthur, at one time, preferred cobalt as a devitalizing agent to arsenious acid, being of the opinion that less irritation followed its action, and consequently greater immunity from peridental inflammation; afterwards, however, he found it less reliable than arsenious acid. At the present time cobalt is not considered to be any safer than arsenic; it is also less prompt in its action as a devitalizing agent. | <urn:uuid:b57cfdf9-4c61-4c15-99ab-7d7def84dd73> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://chestofbooks.com/health/materia-medica-drugs/Manual-Of-Dental-Materia-Medica-And-Therapeutics/Arsenious-Acid-White-Oxide-Of-Arsenic-Part-5.html | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572215.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815235954-20220816025954-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.915391 | 698 | 2.796875 | 3 |
Pool Safely PSAs Urge Parents to Watch Children At All Times Around Pools and Spas This Summer
WASHINGTON, April 21, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- With the summer swimming season just around the corner, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's (CPSC) Pool Safely: Simple Steps Save Lives campaign is releasing its 2011 television and radio public service announcements (PSAs) highlighting various water safety steps that can be taken to save a life. In the first few months of 2011, there have been 37 drownings and 38 near-drowning incidents reported by the media across America. Developed with the campaign's national partners the American Red Cross and the Y, the PSAs are being released nationally today urging parents and children to adopt as many safety steps as possible in and around pools and spas. The Pool Safely campaign is the federal government's first-of-its-kind national public education effort to reduce child drownings and near-drownings in swimming pools and spas.
"As the summer swimming season approaches, our message to parents and caregivers is simple: stay safe in and around pools and spas by practicing as many safety steps as possible. This includes staying close to children at all times, knowing water safety skills like CPR, and ensuring anti-entrapment drain covers are installed in all pools and spas," said Inez Tenenbaum, Chairman of the CPSC.
The PSAs introduce four families and their stories about the simple steps that save lives: door alarms, knowledge of CPR, fencing around pools and spas and safety drain covers in pools and spas. The radio PSAs promote the importance of swimming lessons as a simple step that saves lives. Available to local television and radio stations in both English and Spanish, the English-language versions feature Ming-Na, the voice of Mulan in Disney animated films and star of the NBC drama "ER," "The Joy Luck Club" and "Stargate Universe." You can watch the PSA here.
"So many of the drowning and near-drowning incidents that happen every year are preventable and every drowning and near-drowning is a terrible tragedy," concluded Tenenbaum.
CPSC Chairman Tenenbaum delivered a keynote speech at the National Drowning Prevention Symposium in Colorado Springs, Colorado last week. Her address at the nation's premiere water safety and drowning prevention conference focused on CPSC's role in preventing drowning, the Pool Safely campaign and its efforts to encourage compliance with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act, which mandated a national public education campaign about drowning and entrapment prevention. Tenenbaum also provided an update on the campaign and efforts to sustain drowning prevention advocacy through education, training and partnerships.
Since January 2010, the Pool Safely campaign has responded to over 600 media-reported drowning, near-drowning and entrapment incidents. Steps such as staying close to children at all times, learning water safety skills and having the appropriate equipment, can help families have a safer experience in and around pools and spas. You can learn more about the campaign's water safety steps here.
CPSC is an independent federal regulatory agency created by Congress in 1972 "to protect the public against unreasonable risks of injuries and deaths associated with consumer products." The Pool Safely campaign is CPSC's national information and education program associated with the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (P&SS Act). The Pool Safely campaign is designed to raise public awareness about drowning and entrapment prevention, support industry compliance with safety standards, and improve safety at pools and spas. The Pool Safely campaign is proud to partner with leading organizations, including Abbey's Hope, American Red Cross, Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA), Association of Pool and Spa Professionals (APSP), Infant Swimming Resource, National Aquatic Safety Company (NASCO), National Drowning Prevention Alliance (NDPA), National Swimming Pool Foundation, Safe Kids USA, United States Swim School Association, USA Swimming Foundation, World Waterpark Association (WWA), and The YMCA of the USA.

How to use greywater in the garden. That’s coming up on This Land of Ours.
The water that runs down in the kitchen sink or the water that’s leftover after you wash laundry or take a shower is called greywater. And, it’s completely safe to re-use in your garden on NON-food plants, as long as you’re not using bleach or harsh cleaning agents.
The next time you take a shower, bring some large cooking pots or buckets in there with you. Canning pots work too. Once you’re done, you’ll notice how much water would otherwise just swirl down the drain and into either your local sewage system or your septic tank. All of those particles and toenail clippings do break down into glorious fertilizer. It does take time for this to happen, though. In the meantime, they carry bacteria and microbes that could potentially be harmful if ingested. Thus, this water is perfect for adding water and nutrients to thirsty trees, shrubs, and grass. Just make sure you are only watering at the root level and never overhead.

|▲ Book Tree / CEOs Lee Myoung-ju and Park Kyoung-dam|
(PowerKorea) Some students are exceptional in some subjects. This is because each student has each different aptitude and talent. However, some students show top performance in most subjects. These students have one thing in common: extensive reading. Unlike those who are not interested in reading, they tend to read on their own interest without a force of teacher or parents.
“Reading starts at picking up a book. This requires curiosity of a child who will choose the book he or she wants to read. The role of teacher or parents is to help the child to read in balance between fiction and non-fiction” says Lee Myoung-ju, CEO of Book Tree.
“In fact, the act of teaching is done not by the teacher but by the book. What is the role of the teacher then? It is to help a child to choose and read the right book that can give an insight to the child. In other words, the teacher’s role is to lay a bridge between the child and the book and to point out the important parts if the child fails in catching them” says Co-CEO Park Kyoung-dam.
Lee and Park voice together that many essay academies have two problems in common: books are already decided by the teacher and it is group-based. This can cause boredom of some students who are not interested in the book which then leads to reluctant participation and underperformed results.
So Lee and Park gathered their experience together to launch self-motivated reading coaching academy Book Tree in 2009. The program is flexible that each student chooses the time and date from once a week to five times a week. The level test analyzes the preference of the child and narrow downs the scope of the books for the child to choose. After reading, the Book Tree’s self-developed BTOS (Book Tree Online System) checks whether the reading of the child was successful with the assistance of a teacher one on one. The printout is then comes up to write about the book and to give a feedback which wraps the things up.
Lee used to run a study group during which she realized power of reading. Park used to work for an essay academy for 5 years and had a doubt whether students in that way could actually write an essay about the book they read.
“In my experience, many reading children have distinguished talent and wisdom to see things. They make reading a habit at the initial stage and develop it into growing critical thinking and have experience of their life being changed gradually by the books they read. Also, they can build a vocabulary pool from which they will draw up the right word to delivery their opinions effectively. I can see they are being changed day by day and it makes me proud of my job which I’ve been carrying on for the last 13 years” says Lee.
Currently, Book Tree is found in Deagu, Seoul and Daejeon and Lee and Park are ambitious to grow their virtuous influence to more children nationwide.

courtesy of RFI Montand the singer:
The singer, who was actually christened Ivo Livi, was born in the village of Monsummano in Tuscany, Italy, on 13 October 1921. Giovanni and his wife Giuseppina escaped the fascist regimewith their children Ivo, Lydia (born in 1915) and Giuliano (born in 1917) to the South of France, where they made their home in Marseilles. After several years living in France, the entire Livi family were awarded French citizenship in 1929.
At the age of 11, Ivo was taken out of school and sent to work in a local factory. Meanwhile Lydia’s hairdressing salon was doing a roaring trade and when Ivo turned 14 he started working with his sister. Young Ivo displayed a certain talent in the salon, even passing a hairdessing exam.
Young Ivo was particularly fascinated by Fred Astaire and his famous tap-dance routines. Ivo was a rather shy teenager himself but when he heard that the manager of a local music-hall was looking for a "warm-up artist" he was determined to overcome his stage fright and make a success of the job. Ivo spent three arduous weeks rehearsing and changed his name to Yves Montand (legend has it that his stage name was inspired by his mother Giuseppina who used to call her son in from play shouting "Ivo ! Monta !"). When Yves Montand finally appeared on stage at the music-hall in 1938 he brought the house down, the audience applauding him for several minutes and shouting for an encore. That night in Marseilles a new French star was born.
After gaining valuable experience performing at small local venues, Montand was ready to hit the big time. The singer gave his first major concert in Marseilles on 21 June 1939, headlining at the famous Alcazar. It was here that Montand made a decisive step away from performing covers of other singers’ hits, singing his own original song "Dans les plaines du Far West".
Yves Montand’s career was just starting to take off in earnest when the Second World War put a stop to Yves Montand’s rise to fame. The young man was forced to leave the cabaret circuit behind and go and work as a manoeuvre aux Chantiers de Provence.
In the spring of 1941, however, Montand got his singing career back up and running. Berlingot, the music-hall manager who had given Montand his first break as a warm-up man organised a tour for him in the Marseilles region. Meanwhile, Montand was sharpening up his stage act by taking dancing lesson sin his free time. After the tour Montand got himself a new impresario and began perfoming at an increasing number of galas, where his good looks and natura charisma proved a huge hit (especially with the female fans who accompanied him to dinner after the show!).
Montand headed off for Paris in January 1944. The young singer performed his first major concert in Paris at L’ABC in February of that year, once again proving a tremendous hit with the audience. Montand followed this success with a whole series of concerts, appearing at the Bobino, les Folies-Belleville and performing as a support act to Edith Piaf at the legendary Moulin Rouge. Piaf, who had at first been rather reticent about performing with a relative unknown from Marseilles, was immediately won over by Montand’s good looks and natural charisma. And Montand soon grew equally enamoured of Piaf. The pair would spend hours every day reherasing together. It was Piaf who helped create the legendary stage persona which would transform Montand from a minor Marseilles celebrity into an international star. Piaf also worked hard at improving Montand’s cultural knowledge. Following the success of the show at the Moulin Rouge, Piaf and Montand set off on tour together, forming a famous couple on stage as well as in their personal life.
By this point Montand was beginning to make a real name for himself on the French music scene, and in the autumn of 1945 he was invited to appear at the prestigious Théâtre de l'Etoile in Paris. Montand’s performance, which included two new original songs "Battling Joe" and "Les Grands Boulevards", was met with rapturous applause.
In the spring of 1946 Piaf,who was renowned for her unpredictable behaviour, announced she was putting an end to their relationship. Montand threw himself into his work, performing a series of recitals at L’ABC and Le Club des Cinq cabaret. After a difficult period trying to break into the cinema, Montand returned to the Théâtre de l'Etoile in 1947 where he performed a successful six-week run. It was at this point that Montand began working with a pianist called Bob Castella, who would accompany him right up until the end of his career.
In 1948 Montand met the legendary French poet Jacques Prévert in Saint Paul de Vence. Montand, who was a great fan of the poet’s work, decided to include Prévert’s classic "Les Feuilles Mortes" in his new repertoire. Ironically, Prévert had written "Les Feuilles Mortes" (the music was composed by Joseph Kosma) in 1945 to coincide with the release of " Les Portes de la nuit", a film starring the young actor Yves Montand which had, rather unfortunately, flopped at the box office.
Meanwhile Montand’s career continued to go from strength to strength. In March 1951, the singer returned to the prestigious Théâtre de l'Etoile to perform his first proper "one-man show". Montand’s brilliant performance of his set which included 22 songs and 2 poems proved that the singer had now honed his stage act to absolute perfection. Needless to say, Montand’s one-man show proved to be a phenomenal success.
In October 1953 Montand returned to the Théâtre de l'Etoile where he threw himself into his performance body and soul. His show opened with an unpublished poem by Jacques Prévert and ended with an emotional rendition of "A Paris", a song written by Montand’s close friend Francis Lemarque. Montand brought the house down and the audience’s rapturous applause rang out for several minutes at the end of the show. The singer, called back for an encore, finally returned for a grand finale reciting Prévert’s "Les Feuilles mortes". Yves Montand’s show at the Théâtre de l’Etoile proved to be an absolute sensation. Originally booked for a three-week run, Montand ended up staying at L’Etoile for a full six months, performing over 200 shows to 200,000 spectators ! The Etoile also went on to become a best-selling live album. By the end of that year Yves Montand had become the most popular star on the French music scene.
In the autumn of 1956, Montand was preparing to set off on an extensive tour of the USSR. Montand reluctantly agreed to go ahead with his Russian tour. Montand received an enthusiastic welcome in Moscow. During his stay in the Russian capital Montand was invited to meet President Kruchtchev and the pair became involved in a heated debate about the Soviet invasion of Budapest. Their violent head-to-head confrontation lasted a full four hours, with neither side giving in. Montand returned to Paris, his conscience relieved by the fact that he had at least voiced his disapproval of the Russian Communist Party.In the spring of 1957 Montand set off to perform in Poland, thus kicking off an extensive tour of Eastern Europe. The French singer proved extremely popular throughout the Eastern bloc, tens of thousands of fans flocking to his concerts and buying his records.
in 1959 an American agent contacted the French singer inviting him to perform in New York. Montand thus took his Paris show to the USA, scoring a great triumph at his New York première on 21 September 1959. The American critics showered Montand with rapturous reviews and the singer was immediately booked to perform a further series of concerts. During their stay in New York, Yves Montand and Simone Signoret were to meet the playwright Arthur Miller and his wife Marilyn Monroe.
Montand returned to New York in October 1961, however, to perform on Broadway. The French star’s show at the legendary Golden Theatre proved a phenomenal success, running for a full eight weeks. He then embarked upon an extensive international tour which took him to Japan and England. In 1962 Montand, now one of the most famous music-hall stars in the world, returned to Paris and immediately launched straight into a series of concerts at the Théâtre de l'Etoile (his show carrying on well into the following year).
Devoting all his time and energy to his film career in the 70’s, Montand performed only one concert, giving a benefit show in 1974 to raise funds for political prisoners in Chili. Music fans had to wait until the end of 1981 before Montand resumed his singing career. But when he did return to the Olympia on 7 October his show was a phenomenal success, tickets selling out long in advance. Montand performed at the Olympia up until 3 January 82, but three months were not enough to satisfy his adoring public and the singer was obliged to give another series of concerts (20 July - 14 August 82). It was on the occasion of his comeback at the Olympia that Montand premièred "Les Bijoux", one of his most famous songs based on a poem by the 19th century French poet Baudelaire. After celebrating his successful French comeback, Montand set off on an extensive international tour, which was greeted with a chorus of standing ovations all the way from Rio to New York.
He passed away in 1991. | <urn:uuid:cafaebf3-bf58-449b-8601-ff23c0eabef8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://m.sunnysiderecords.com/index.php/artist/id/340 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.981098 | 2,127 | 2.171875 | 2 |

THIS ARTICLE IS MORE THAN FIVE YEARS OLD
This article is more than five years old. Autism research - and science in general - is constantly evolving, so older articles may contain information or theories that have been reevaluated since their original publication date.
Several sequencing studies in the past few years have compared the genomes of individuals with autism with those of their unaffected parents and siblings1-3. And they have made a dramatic and unexpected discovery: Many of the mutations in individuals with autism are in genes that regulate chromatin, which helps package DNA in the cell nucleus.
This discovery has raised several questions: How might mutations that affect chromatin lead to autism?Why do these proteins, which are present in almost all cells, produce such behaviorally specific features? Do these chromatin regulators control the production of proteins that function at neuronal junctions, which are also frequently the target of mutations in autism?
The answers may lie in understanding the role of chromatin. Laid end to end, the 46 chromosomes in a single neuron would stretch for more than a yard. And if the chromosomes of every cell in your brain were tied end to end, the resulting thread would reach from the earth to the sun.
This vast quantity of DNA is tucked into the nuclei of billions of brain cells by being coiled around protein spools called nucleosomes — and the complex as a whole is chromatin. Nucleosomes gather into higher-order structures by associating with other proteins.
Every cell in the body contains the same basic set of chemical instructions — the DNA-encoded genome — but the unique identity of any given cell is specified by the readout, or expression, of only a subset of those genes. For example, a muscle cell and a neuron differ because of specific genes they express, not through any dramatic differences in genetic material. This selective readout is accomplished by packaging the DNA, together with specialized proteins, in silent ‘heterochromatin’ and active ‘euchromatin,’ which are distinguished on a molecular level by specific types of chemical modifications.
Far from being a static packaging system, however, chromatin is a dynamic player in development and disease. Every DNA-templated process — for example, the duplication of the entire genome during cell division or the readout of specific genes vital to determining cellular identity — contends with chromatin.
Imagine having 46 spaghetti noodles, each stretching from San Francisco to San Diego, stuffed into a bag (the nucleus) and you are called upon to both keep them in order and have instant access to any spot on each of the 46 noodles.
Chromatin remodeling complexes help cells solve this organization-and-access problem. The complexes are assemblies of proteins that function in concert to regulate chromatin dynamics. They have become prominent in recent years as key factors in normal development as well as in diseases as diverse as cancer, schizophrenia and autism4, 5.
For example, mutations in chromatin remodelers may disrupt the normal duplication of the genome during cell division, leading to daughter cells with subtle differences in DNA content. Alternatively, mutations in chromatin remodelers may affect gene expression by disrupting the proper readout of genes in response to regulatory signals.
In our own laboratory, research has focused on the so-called BAF, or mSWI/SNF, chromatin remodeling complex. An intriguing feature of this multi-protein machine is that it exists in several different forms that are each specific to different cell types6, 7. Mature neurons have a unique assembly of subunits that distinguishes the neuronal BAF complex from its counterpart in neural progenitors, the population of cells that give rise to both neurons and glia.
The BAF complex plays an evolutionarily ancient role in orchestrating nervous system development. In organisms as distantly related as flies and mice, the complex has been implicated in the normal development of dendrites, the delicate cellular branches at which neurons receive information across their neuronal junctions7. Mutations that disrupt BAF function lead to symptoms that resemble those seen in autism.
For example, neurons from mice lacking a BAF component, BAF53B, do not grow in response to activity, as typical neurons do. Flies with mutations in the same subunit exhibit a retargeting of dendritic trees from one region of the brain to another, reflecting a role for BAF in building neural circuits8. Mice lacking the gene for the BAF53B subunit are hyperactive and show deficits in spatial memory and object recognition consistent with those seen in more severe cases of autism9.
In addition to findings from model organisms, studies have found mutations in other constituents of the BAF complex, such as BAF250A (ARID1A) and BAF250B (ARID1B), in people with autism1, 10. Many of the mutations are unique to particular individuals with autism, but mutations in subunits of the BAF complex may collectively account for a substantial fraction of cases of autism.
What’s more, mutations in subunits of the BAF complex cause two other syndromes characterized by mental retardation and delayed language development — Coffin-Siris and Nicolaides-Baraitser. This suggests that a number of developmental disorders share the disruption of normal BAF complex-dependent chromatin remodeling activity as an underlying factor.
Although the function of this gene is poorly understood, it is known to inhibit the function of an important signaling protein called beta-catenin. Mice with permanently active beta-catenin grow extra-large brains, suggesting that the protein plays a role in brain growth13.
Interestingly, people with autism who have mutations in CHD8 also have macrocephaly, an enlargement of the brain. What’s more, mutations in beta-catenin have been found in some cases of autism1, 4, 10.
Like the BAF proteins, CHD8 is part of a multi-protein complex, but the specific set of CHD8-associated proteins is unknown14. It is possible that, as with the BAF complex, mutations in other subunits of the CHD8 complex contribute to developmental disorders and autism.
The surprising discovery that chromatin remodeling appears to be the most commonly genetically disrupted process in autism has raised many questions. Answering these questions will yield fundamental insights into intellectual development and disability and, hopefully, autism.

In this harried and hectic time, it’s good to pause occasionally to reflect on what’s really important in our lives – and for the society we live in. All across the U.S. business, Novartis associates are stepping away from daily work responsibilities to focus their full attention on thinking and talking about what it means to be part of a truly diverse and inclusive organization. This includes considering how we can make a personal commitment, not just to supporting equal rights for all, but to actively working against hatred and inequality everywhere.
“This Day of Reflection underscores our strongly held belief that at its core, equality is a human rights issue,” says Thomas Kendris, US Country President, Novartis. “It reinforces our commitment to create a diverse and inclusive environment at Novartis that treats all associates with dignity and respect.”
This is a movement, not a moment.
The Day of Reflection starts with a mindfulness session to set the mood and mindset for the day, encouraging personal introspection and openness to self-examination. Throughout the day, associates participate in panel discussions and breakout sessions to learn and explore a variety of diversity and inclusion issues impacting society today. They also watch a compelling film called Burden: The Movie about a day in the life of an executive and the macro- and micro-aggressions he confronts, and engage in a frank conversation about the difficult issues raised in the film with the creator Nathan Hale Williams.
For Marion Brooks, Head of Diversity & Inclusion at Novartis, the Day of Reflection represents an important step forward on a company-wide journey of self-awareness and improvement. “Novartis is committed to a movement not a moment,” he says. “The road ahead is long and our diversity and inclusion strategy is focused on sustainable change.” For many of us at Novartis, that change takes on new energy and urgency, as we reflect on what it truly means to be an inclusive and welcoming place to work, grow and thrive. | <urn:uuid:19e84359-87a0-4a13-b6e0-e7ce6450d63b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.novartis.com/us-en/stories/day-reflection-novartis | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572870.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817062258-20220817092258-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.937205 | 423 | 2.09375 | 2 |
Today Jonathan held a group crit with the Designer Maker course, where we looked at three symposium presentations from each of the two groups. It was a very interesting and worthwhile exercise and one that I think Jonathan will want to repeat when he begins his new course in September. This sort of discussion is very important, not only for seeing other insights and presentations but to have light thrown on one’s own work.
I took away two important things from this. The first was a general observation about scale and movement, the second about working with clay and my work in particular. I found the juxtaposition of Yinming and Matt’s presentations interesting in the way touch and the absence of it, features in their work. Rather should I say, in Matt’s work, touch and tactile sensibilities appear to play a role in the work as he elaborates his narratives but then it is lost in the projection onto a virtual world. Again, this chimes with the idea of loss which is a running theme in his thinking. Yinming on the other hand, began with the intimacy of touch, moving outwards towards body movements. Both are ways of spatially and socially mapping the world: touch on the intimate scale of the small and detailed moving along something; movement is on the environmental scale and deals with proximity and its consequences.
In my work, touch is an important modality in navigating space and perceiving qualities or properties of a substance. Clay is soft, smooth, cool. Touch generates an intimate world, internalised in one’s own body on the small scale of hands, fingers and palms. These act as cartographer’s tools, sensing and calculating the imaginative geometry of mass. On a larger scale lies the essence of movement and gesture; radiating and embracing the space around the body. It is with this conceptual shaping of space that the mass of a sculptor is transformed as an imprint of the accumulated movements of limbs, hands and mind. Both touch and movement are in an indissoluble relationship joined by the very same thing that separates them, scale and distance.
This also relates to the question of viewing distance I have spoken about previously. Movement tends to pertain to the further away, context, contours, relationships with other things. Touch relates to the closer intimate domain of texture and surface detail. Both scales contribute the understanding of an object or thing.
The second insight is one that I have often thought about. Does a clay need to be fired? As Maiko (Tsutsumi) said, those that work with clay often fire out of practicality. And, much of the life force of a clay piece exists in its unfired state. I agree: I have often thought about how the raw unfired clay has a life that is extinguished when fired. The two states, fired and unfired, are quite different. I see the former as a fossil of the life contained in the latter. When fired, clay becomes infinitely durable. This creates a tension with the fragility of the form it holds, brittle and vulnerable to contingency.
How can I leave work unfired and hope it will endure? I want something to last but in its raw state, it is likely to break and crumble. This brings back that notion of practicality. However, there are ways of keeping work fresh if not intact. By rubbing, soiling, cleaning and handling a piece, it acquires layers of interaction. It starts to absorb a new life given through touch and intimate contact. This is something that attracts me to archaeological artefacts in museums? They often possess an aura, some call it patina (a word I would rather not use, I need to look for another) that gives depth to inference. That is why I do not glaze. Glaze is practicality driven towards decoration. The glaze of life is far more interesting. I shall look into this more.
There is another idea, to embed the work in resin: the preservation of the state of things, and in that act, destroy the very essence that one attempts to preserve.
Another experiment I intend to carry out is to record with video/timelapse, the dissolving of a piece in a stream of water. The dissolution of form but not substance. The slurry could then be recovered as part of the work/process and presented as an essence.
As I mentioned recently in The Future and the Past in One Place, I have made a ritual of former maquettes, now broken, storing them in caskets made for them as a metaphor for keeping an idea alive and resurrecting that idea that becomes altered in the light of experience. I feel that these ideas are rich in narrative, inference and possibilities.
Jonathan brought up a number of quotes from my video. This is a good point for me to expand on one of them for my sake if nothing else.
And from those parts, I have built element by element a language of sorts by which I might describe a boundless field where before I only saw separate cells.
After Symposium 2: 1. Script and Alternative end of first paragraph of transcript or at 41 seconds of the video Symposium 2 Video.
Here, I describe two distinct states and the process by which I have gone from one to the other. The process is through language in all its forms. The cells refer to my previous state of working with a variety of themes, techniques and methods which were separated conceptually from one another, possibly held together only by the fact that I was the author of each domain. Cells are biological components, bounded by a membrane and bound together to form a body. Each cell an independent unit but dependent on the whole. A cell is also a prison, a space preventing connection and movement outside its walls. The building in which that cell is located, cannot be described from inside it.
The imagery of a field was catalysed by walks along large Lincolnshire fields during the first term of the course. As one approaches the horizon, it recedes and gives way to a new vision. The horizon is boundless and yet it circumscribes the visible world. And so it is with my work, it is now a fertile field without end, where I can move freely, using languages of different sorts to describe what I find. | <urn:uuid:6093e2ec-2b49-4d50-af8a-1677b456a6c3> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.blog.alexisrago.com/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572870.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817062258-20220817092258-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.969472 | 1,282 | 1.8125 | 2 |
There are certain students who want to become a criminal lawyer because this is one of the most challenging parts. Other than this, this field is also much more rewarding than the other fields.
Other than this, if a person becomes a criminal lawyer lots of avenues open in front of him in the future. He can start defending the criminals, or he can even prosecute them. Other than this, he also has the chance of becoming the judge in the future.
Criminal law is much more interesting than the other fields. The person can either join law firms or can even practice on his own. There are certain things you need to practice if you are interested in studying the criminal law.
The first thing you need to do is develop a good habit of studying. When you sit for the admission exams they also check your grades which you have got in school. If the grades are poor then it might have a bad effect on your career.
Other than this, you can also take up some extra courses which will help you to know the laws of the land better. You can also take up courses which will help you improve your communication skills. Criminal defense has become quite popular these days because of the success as well as the high pay.
The criminal lawyers have lots of benefits. The job is tough as well as challenging and this is the reason why you would love to work. But you must make sure that you are able to sacrifice your time for this profession.
You might get very less time for your family. This is the only side effect of this job. It is also very important to choose the right kind of law course. You need to enter the law school and for this you need to pass the LSAT.
After this you can apply to the law schools. You must always make sure that you choose the best school. There are lots of law schools present and this might confuse you. After you get the law degree you need to pass the start bar exam.
Criminal law will surely be better than the other ordinary subjects. Some people even want to become injury lawyers so that they can provide justice to people who are injured because of the negligence of some other people or organization.How to Become a Criminal Defense Attorney: Choose this Interesting Career by Harrison Barnes | <urn:uuid:cf144aef-c6c6-4249-8d98-401786288358> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://blog.granted.com/2014/07/03/how-to-become-a-criminal-defense-attorney-choose-this-interesting-career/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573760.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819191655-20220819221655-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.984922 | 458 | 1.710938 | 2 |
Our society has prescribed certain roles for women and for decades women have been doing their best to play these roles and give them the best performance. These real-life roles also inspired many real-life characters. But the problem began when these characters began to be taken for granted and used as benchmarks.
Thanks to patriarchy, we have long seen women oppressed and followed by others and in many cases they still are. But Indian television programs have even left patriarchy behind by stereotyping women. It may sound strange, but it is true that our society and our entertainment industry are so obsessed with the ‘Abla Nari’ label that this is why ‘Saas-Bahu Drama’ has become the most popular category. of television programs.
But what is even more surprising and troubling is the portrayal of female characters in these shows. In Saas-Bahu Shows there are 3 main characters, a simple daughter-in-law, a naughty mother-in-law who after a while will change her mind, a negative character who can be a woman or a man, but it is better if she is a woman, but “a woman is a woman.” How will the fire of “Ki Dushman Hai” be propelled?
Our society has already divided women according to labels and categories. And TV shows are doing the job of Sone Pe Suhaga. The definition of good and bad women given by TV shows is too problematic and incorrect. The qualities of a good woman are almost the same in most Indian TV shows, whether in Hindi, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Marathi or any other language.
Recently, an internet user shared a clipping of a Bengali series on social media and we ran out of words after seeing this scene. In this scene, the show’s heroine first collects coconut water in a pot, then washes her husband’s feet with it, and then washes her feet with her hair (yes, you read that right, your hair).
The rest of the house is watching this whole process with a lot of love and enthusiasm. At the same time, an old lady in the house makes fun of this new daughter-in-law who could have cleaned her legs better if she had longer hair. The daughter-in-law of the house is also happily doing such a wasteful process or ritual by sticking a 6-inch smile on her face and seeing that she is enjoying herself a lot.
Now we go back a few years and talk about a very popular Hindi TV show ‘Diya Aur Baati Hum’. The show begins with the story of a girl who always wanted to be an IPS officer but due to the sudden death of her parents, she marries, also with an illiterate boy who is a pastry chef by profession and his family it is extremely regressive. it is regressive. The girl only finds out after marriage.
Now that this girl is the protagonist of the show and a “good girl,” she accepts it as her destiny and does her best to learn and adapt to the ways of her new family. When her husband supports her in her studies, it is obvious that she automatically becomes a “good husband” and a “good man.”,
However, for a woman to be a “good woman” it is not enough to pass the IPS exam or become a police officer. For him, it is very important for him to keep the stick in his head, learn to cook, take care of the happiness of each family member, give his heir to the family, sacrifice his little happiness and make many other little ones. and small. great things like this. Then somewhere she will be called a good woman.
My question is that if a woman doesn’t do all these things and is only good at one thing or let’s say she’s not good at anything, then why does her goodness as a woman diminish or end? To be a good woman, why should she be polite, cultured, versed in household chores, and put others above herself?
Now back to today’s time and talking about the blockbuster show ‘Anupama’ which is the Hindi adaptation of the Bengali show ‘Shrimoyi’. In both shows, the audience sympathized with Anupama because, even after thinking and doing so much for the family, he was not getting that love and respect from his family. Then Anupama got married for the second time, but the public had no problem with that, as Anupama was still as interested in the problems and affairs of her old in-laws as before.
From which it follows that for Anupama her former mothers-in-law are even more important than her life and, by this logic, Anupama is a ‘good woman’. The main female characters in most TV shows are versatile and multi-talented and that is why she is the main character and good in the eyes of the audience.
The little sister who runs away from home to make a career or the middle sister who marries against family members of her own free will or Jhalli or the younger daughter-in-law who wears modern clothes will never be the protagonist of the show for sacrifice and sacrifice of the main character.Having an idol is very important.
Unfortunately, in the world of entertainment, especially TV shows, we are still trapped in a phase where everything from winning the heart of husband and mother-in-law khadoos to making the female protagonist look good, to wearing the kidnapped sister-in-law. the law returns safely and well. Preventing terrorist attacks is also important. At the same time, for a female character to look bad or negative, a strong and ambitious make-up is enough.
It’s easy for the audience to believe that Maya (Jennifer Winget) from ‘Beyhadh’ can kill someone and watch for yourself. But if Ishita (Divyanka Tripathi Dahiya) of ‘Yeh Hai Mohabbatein’ has killed someone, then there must be some noble intention behind her. TV shows have categorized women in this way.
On the one hand, on the OTT platforms and To a large extent, also in the film industry, women are being portrayed with new, improved, and largely realistic characters.In such a situation, it is very unfortunate to see characters crying or conspiring on television wearing the same 5 kg sari, 2 kg makeup and jewelry from all over the town.

"Should you eat when you're not hungry "
That was a question I asked myself a lot when I was first transitioning to the raw food diet. Just about everything I ever read said that people shouldn't eat if they aren't hungry. We need to listen to what our bodies are telling us in order to be as healthy as possible.
What if your body is telling you it's not hungry, however, while your instinct is telling you that you still need to eat That's what was happening to me in the beginning of my raw journey. My digestion was very slow and food would sit in my stomach for most of the day, especially if the food I ate was processed or heavy. It didn't matter how much I ate, either. My portions were always very small compared to those that my fit-looking friends were eating. I always wondered how I was the obese one when my meals were so minimal in comparison.
***** DISCLAIMER: As with all of our posts here at Pure Jeevan, and particularly those coming up over the next week and a half (which will all be tagged with a new term, "Nadi Balance"), please refer to the disclaimer that runs at the bottom of all Pure Jeevan Pages. Wendi and Jim are health researchers, educators, and extreme self-experimenters; not doctors. ******
Nadi Balance: Part III
To summarize yesterday's post, even though this sounds dramatic, the truth is: Wendi was dying. The first doctor essentially sent her home saying there was nothing wrong. The second doctor confirmed she had Lyme disease, but was too late for his method of healing, since the Lyme had already become chronic at that point. He could only offer understanding of her situation and a trial and error method of conventional medications, which rarely (if ever) heal Lyme patients. A supplement that many raw nutrition gurus recommend as essential to health for all people was actually putting Wendi's body, already struggling with Lyme bacteria, into an extreme state of distress. And finally, our own knowledge of health, diet, and healing (even though extensive and accumulated over 30 years) wasn't adequate for healing Wendi's body of Lyme, either.
I'm still doing my nine-day mono meals for Navratri. Since it's Makin' It Monday, instead of actually makin' a recipe, I'm dreamin' about it! After talking with my sweet friend Melissa, I thought I wanted to eat spinach pie when I end my mono meals. She was talking about it, shared how she was going to create it, and my mind was filling with the image of spinach pie, the smell and taste of it, and I wanted it right then.But, we don't have any spinach in the house right now. Since I end my mono meals after tomorrow's lunch, and don't have time to buy spinach at the food co-op, I decided to dream some more about what I'll be eating for tomorrow's dinner.
Then it came to me. I want beet pasta! Not just any beet pasta, but beet pasta topped with a creamy alfredo sauce! I picture it in my mind; I can imagine the taste of it, the texture, and it's so delicious. I think I want something green with it, too. Perhaps I'll start with a small salad. Ooh! Yes, that's what I'll do!
We ve covered this in the past here on the Pure Jeevan blog, but it s something that s being discussed again online in major news feeds. Since many people read and learn from such sources, especially Yahoo! News, there is potential for a lot of damage and misinformation to be ?learned? by many individuals. In a recent article on Yahoo!, we re informed in the ?Health Experts Main/HealthLine? category that consuming only healthy foods is an eating disorder. Those who desire a healthy body by consuming healthy (as opposed to unhealthy) foods are labeled as having ?orthorexia,? a supposed eating disorder that can be cured with cognitive behavioral therapy.
What does that mean, really? If we desire a healthy body, and all the vibrant energy that comes with it, then we are psychologically unbalanced? [Sarcasm to follow ] However, if we eat those same healthy foods, but also consume things like Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald s burgers, Wendy s French fries, or Skittles candies then we are balanced individuals and deemed psychologically healthy? What if we consume no healthy foods, preferring instead the Standard American Diet of fast foods, heavy meats and gravies, that includes few fruits or vegetables? Well, that s considered normal and of no concern in the least bit ? there is no eating disorder when consuming a diet like that. You can require caffeinated beverages to have enough energy to get through the day and that s normal, too. Die of a heart attack from such a diet and that s normal, too.
Today we're running another installment of our "Thankful Thursday" series. This time, we're especially thankful ... for YOU, the Pure Jeevan family! Who'd have thought, less than two years ago when launching this blog, that we'd make thousands of connections with others looking for inspiration on their raw food journey !!? It's simply astounding -- and we're still actually "just getting started."
As always, we're thrilled to provide information and inspiration. It's counter-intuitive, when you really consider it; "raw foods" may be just two simple words, yet there always seems to be more and more to talk about, more people to interview, more success stories to highlight, more recipes to contribute, more tips and tricks to share, more personal reflections to offer.
Jim here... During one of our marathon sessions at a Border's book store, I recall reading somewhere about the notion of a fruit's "intention" to be eaten. It's been a few years since I've read that, but I immediately resonated with the notion that many fruits, nuts, vegetables, and seeds are actually evolved to be eaten by other living beings and, therefore, to consume them (or their fruits and seeds) is to participate in a wonderfully nonviolent act that is in perfect harmony with a kind of primordial Earthen symbiosis. Whether these plants, vines, trees, etc. feel a conscious intention to have their fruit eaten by others is a matter of metaphysical conjecture. But, within the context of discussing vegetarianism, the argument is certainly relevant and fairly strong.
If you walk up to a farm animal, it may be impossible to estimate what's going through its mind, but I feel intuitively that it isn't, "Please kill me and eat my flesh." In other words, there's no "intention" present in that scenario. On the other hand, it's very easy to imagine that a tree produces fruit, knowingly or not, in order to produce offspring. Throughout the entire evolution of that tree, part of that reproductive process has involved animals (including humans) eating the fruit and then "redistributing" (which is a nice way of putting it, I suppose) the seeds naturally.
Day 6: Today is the final day of placing extra focus on the feminine qualities attributed to Goddess Lakshmi. For me, going within, shining light on the things that aren't so clear, the things that I've been avoiding, or the things that have been completely invisible is something I've revisited off and on my entire life. It's something that I often recommend to friends and family, as well. It's what has allowed me to continually improve my life (both physically, emotionally, spiritually, and intellectually), and something I'll always consider vital.
The more we search within for answers, the more we'll learn about our true selves. The more we understand ourselves, the more authentic we become in our interactions with others. The more authentic we are with others, the more others can feel comfortable around us. The more others become comfortable around us, the more they can experience their own authentic selves. And the more others experience their true selves, the more we all wake up and truly begin living a life of beauty, grace, vibrancy, and love.
Sharing is lovely, don't you think? When I decided I was going to "go raw" and not consume cooked foods anymore, it was a huge life-changing decision. Even though there was no one standing next to me, telling me what to do and not do as I was changing my eating habits, I was still supported in my efforts. My support system was made up of copious amounts of experience and advice that was openly shared by experienced raw foodists. Even though many times I felt like I was alone, the path I was walking was etched with loving words left by caring people who wanted to encourage others who were yet to come down the same raw food path.
This Thursday I want to give a special "Thank You" to Kevin Gianni. He was on my list for a Take the Time Tuesday introduction, but I didn't want to wait until then to tell you about him. I've been following Kevin's work on the Internet since he hosted The Raw Food World Summit last year. You can tell when you hear him speak that he's a genuinely nice, intelligent, caring person. He's honestly listening to what people are saying, trying to absorb the plethora of health information that's available. He asks a lot of interesting questions, too. He then takes what he has learned, condenses it, and shares the knowledge with the rest of the world. He does all of the hard work for us! For this, I wanted to give a special thanks to him. | <urn:uuid:4e1325ee-49eb-4d39-aae2-1d812073ca1b> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://www.purejeevan.com/?start=561 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.979397 | 1,990 | 1.59375 | 2 |

Osteoporosis a painful reality for millions of women. Know your risk factors and take action. Improving your diet is important: “Eat something green every day.”
By Georgetta Lordi Morque
UPDATED FEB. 9, 2022
A few months ago, I crossed the line—from osteopenia to the beginning stages of osteoporosis, the debilitating bone disease. I’m certainly not alone. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, osteoporosis affects almost one in four women aged 65 and over in the U.S.
Osteoporosis is a common yet serious disease that occurs when the body loses bone mineral density causing the bones to weaken and eventually fracture or break. This results in severe pain and immobility. Approximately one in two women and up to one in four men over 50 will break a bone due to osteoporosis, according to the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF). A woman’s risk of fracture is equal to her combined risk of breast, uterine and ovarian cancer, the NOF reports.
Osteoporosis is considered a “silent disease,” because there are no real symptoms and it is believed that many women are walking around not even knowing that they have osteoporosis, until, that is, they fracture a bone. How do we get a handle on this disease and what’s the best approach to managing bone health as we age?
I spoke with Joseph Lane, MD, Chief of Metabolic Bone Disease Service at Hospital for Special Surgery, for advice. The first question I posed concerned bone density screenings which according to industry guidelines should start at age 65. “That’s if you are a perfectly healthy 65-year-old woman,” said Dr. Lane. Those with risk factors would benefit from earlier testing. These factors include family history, low body weight—women who wear a size 2 or have a BMI (body mass index) under 18.5—eating disorders, menopause, long term steroid use or diseases that can cause osteoporosis, such as rheumatoid arthritis, reduced activity levels, illnesses or fractures. “Talk to your internist if you think you may be at risk and get a baseline screening,” advised Dr. Lane.
Calcium of course is important for healthy bones, but what’s the best way to get it? “Number one is to improve your diet,” said Dr. Lane. “Eat something green every day, not peas, but leafy greens.” He also recommends building rich dairy products into your diet, such as yogurt and almond milk. “Then find out your calcium levels.” A 9.5 mg/dl (milligrams per deciliter) range is the safest, according to Dr. Lane. “If it’s below 9, you’re not taking enough calcium. If it’s too high, you could be at risk for kidney stones.” Some studies have linked calcium supplements to kidney stones, however calcium citrate, which Dr. Lane, prefers, is less likely to cause kidney stones and more likely to be absorbed.
Vitamin D is essential in the absorption of calcium, so checking D levels is also important. “You don’t need much—20 ng/ml (nanograms/milliliter) is the magic number,” said Dr. Lane. Sunlight can help the body produce Vitamin D, yet most people don’t spend a lot of time outdoors year-round and wearing sunscreen can prevent the production of Vitamin D. “You have to get pink,” said Dr. Lane, noting that women with darker skin cannot reach D levels through the sun. There aren’t many foods with high Vitamin D, so Dr. Lane recommends taking a Vitamin D 3 supplement. In the hospital’s lab study of women aged 40 through 60, balance was improved by those who took Vitamin D, which proved the important role D also plays in muscle strength and function.
Exercise is a critical factor for bone health, particularly weight-bearing exercise. “You won’t change your bone density, but you’ll improve the quality of the bone,” said Dr. Lane. And exercise can also help improve balance which in turn can help prevent falls and fractures. Rather than just walking on a treadmill, Dr. Lane advises engaging in a variety of exercise such as Tai Chi and Barre classes in addition to walking and walking up stairs, which is also helpful. “Play sports and have fun. If it’s not fun, you won’t do it.” Overall, Dr. Lane is a proponent of a healthy lifestyle of eating good food, being active and maintaining a good weight. “Aim for your marriage weight—don’t go below it.”
Sadly there is no way to reverse bone mineral loss, but good practices can help maintain the bone density that you have and delay or prevent the onset of the disease. For me, my bone density screening score was my wake-up call. Don’t wait to take charge of your bone health. For important resources, visit the National Osteoporosis Foundation and American Bone Health which also has a Bone Health Hotline, 888-266-3015.
Bone Density Screening DEXA (Dual Energy X-Ray Dual Absorptiometry) is a scan to measure bone mineral density. A T-score of -1 to -2.5 indicates weak bones yet not at risk for fracture (osteopenia). A T-score of -2.5 or lower indicates osteoporosis.
24 percent of hip fracture patients age 50 and over die in the year following the fracture, and six months after a hip fracture, only 15 percent of patients can walk across a room unaided. –National Osteoporosis Foundation
Calcium Rich Foods
According to American Bone Health, 75% of Americans don’t get enough calcium. Some good choices are broccoli, kale, bok choy, sesame and chia seeds, almonds, sardines, canned salmon with bones, cheese, milk and yogurt. If you do not get enough calcium through foods or supplements, the body will take the calcium it needs from your bones. Caffeine and alcohol can interfere with calcium absorption.
Medical Practices Treating Osteoporosis in NYC

Thank you very much for everything - this paper is excellent. Very much appreciate all your extra effort. Thanks again for another job well done!
This discussion addresses the following outcomes:
Slavery grew along with the United States, not just in the number of slaves but in the nature of the institution itself. It underlay the South’s wealth and to a great degree formed the South’s political and social identity. The “cotton revolution” enabled the expansion of slavery westwards and the same time that the Northern states abolished it within their borders. The nation’s westward expansion soon confronted the United States with several political controversies that reinforced sectional differences.
In preparation for our discussion be sure to read the Module Notes, Chapter 11: “The Cotton Revolution (Links to an external site.)” in The American Yawp, Mullen, L. (2014), “These Maps Reveal How Slavery Expanded Across the United States (Links to an external site.)”, and read the following primary sources: The Missouri Crisis (Links to an external site.)

LUKEVILLE, ARIZ.—U.S. Customs and Border Protection agriculture specialists at the Port of Lukeville discovered nearly 223 pounds of undeclared, unpasteurized cheese in a passenger vehicle May 6.
CBP officers referred a vehicle with California plates for an additional agriculture inspection when the male driver attempted to enter the United States. Prior to the search, the man declared only five kilograms of Mexican cheese. However, when CBP agriculture specialists searched the vehicle they located a commercial quantity of undeclared and intentionally concealed cheese. The concealed, unpasteurized ruminant cheese was seized for not meeting import requirements. The driver was fined for failure to declare the prohibited agriculture product and released.
Commercial quantities of regulated food products must meet the requirements of several federal agencies to be imported properly and safely.
CBP agriculture specialists have extensive training and experience in agricultural and biological inspection. Their historic mission of preventing the introduction of harmful plant and animal pests into the U.S. provides CBP with the expertise to recognize and prevent the entry of organisms with a potential to devastate entire segments of our agriculture-related economy. | <urn:uuid:261b811b-f7af-4b98-ac58-ab70797ee91d> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.cbp.gov/newsroom/local-media-release/cbps-agriculture-specialists-stop-unpasteurized-cheese-entering-us | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572870.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817062258-20220817092258-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.942272 | 227 | 2.125 | 2 |
Today is #LoveYourPetDay and I couldn’t resist a post that celebrates our furry friends! When it comes to exercising, your dog could be the best workout buddy you ever had. And there is no excuse when it comes to getting moving – your little (or big) fluff ball needs at least a good walk every day. But for many active dogs, a cycle, a run or even a session on the yoga mat is well within their capabilities. Looking for some inspiration to partner up with your canine best friend? I have some fun workout ideas below that are great for dogs (and humans too!)
Most dogs love to run, and even smaller dogs have surprisingly impressive stamina. Your dog is not only great for keeping you motivated as you pound the pavement or local trails, but they are also a great way to push yourself faster and longer. If you’re serious about making your dog part of your regular runs, a waist leash is a good investment for hands-free control.
Most dogs think Yoga is a fun game and having a poodle lick your face while you are trying to practice your downward-facing dog is a surefire way to work on your stability and concentration levels. However, some dedicated yogi dog lovers have taken things a step further with Doga. These doggy-friendly classes celebrate the bond between you and your mutt while putting you through your paces on the mat. I’m not sure Doga will do anything for your dog’s fitness levels, but it sure sounds like fun!
Exploring the great outdoors offers an intense workout for body and mind, and it is a great way to boost your overall wellness. For your dog, it provides an exciting opportunity to sniff out a new environment and enjoy important one-on-one bonding time with their human. Hiking is great as you can adjust it to your unique fitness levels – start with a fifteen-minute walk through the woods and take it from there.
Biking with a dog takes a little more training and caution than other workouts, but it’s a huge amount of fun when you get it right. First, not all dogs are going to be able to keep up with your pedal power – this works best with medium to large active dogs. Then start practicing with your dog simply walking politely alongside your bike while you are pushing it along slowly and build from there. You can buy special canine harnesses to keep both you and your pooch safe.
How are you celebrating #LoveYourPetDay? Whether it’s a workout with your dog or a good cuddle on the sofa with your cat, I hope you have a great one! If you’re looking for a new human fitness regime, then the gang at FitFusion PT can help. Explore our website to find out more about our group classes and one-on-one training. It all starts with a chat, so get in touch to find out how we can help you achieve your goals.

Evanston news delivered free to your inbox!
City Council on Oct. 8 adopted changes that will affect winter parking if there is an accumulation of 4 inches of snow. The changes involve the definition of a “snow emergency” and some modifications in the City’s snow routes – those streets that form the main arteries of commercial and residential traffic.
For years, the City declared a “snow emergency” at 8 a.m. after four inches of snow had fallen within a 24-hour period. Now there is, well, a cumulative effect on snow accumulation – for example, if two inches of snow fell while there were still two inches of snow on the ground from a snowfall a few days before, that second snow accumulation would trigger a snow emergency.
A Sept. 7 memo from Public Works Agency Director Dave Stoneback and Public Services Bureau Chief Edgar Cano said this expanded definition of snow emergency would assist in ice and snow operations if a series of storms more than a day apart hit the area with a total accumulation of more than four inches of snow.
The memo states in part, “For instance, if a winter storm occurring on Monday were to bring three inches of snow, along with cold temperatures, followed by a storm on Wednesday bringing another three inches of snow while [the area was] still experiencing low temperatures, you could potentially have six inches of snow in parking lanes with little-to-no melting. The same is true if we experience four or more consecutive days of snowfall of around one inch per day. This snow could then compact and turn to ice.
In scenarios such as that, the memo said, removing the ice and snow would be more difficult and likely involve the added expenses of overtime work, more ticketing and towing and increased salt usage.
The City has revised snow routes by adding new ones, clarifying the ending and starting points of existing ones and modifying the snow route schedule to match what it posted on the signs displayed around town.
Clarifying ending and beginning: The memo gave Sheridan Road as an example of the need to clarify the beginning and ending points of a snow route. Sheridan Road is listed as a snow route, but the section from Forest Place to Greenwood Street is not a snow route. Labeling the beginning and ending points of a snow route should eliminate the confusion, the memo said.
Aligning snow routes with posted signs: In some cases, signs posted to alert parkers of a snow route are at odds with what the City has in fact designated as a snow route. As an example, signs posted along Dempster Street show the snow route from the west City limit to the alley east of Chicago Avenue, but the map indicates the route extends east to Forest Avenue. The change in the route aligns the route to the map and the posted signs.
Adding Streets to Snow Routes: The City added the following streets and street segments to the snow route map and the City Code. In some cases, the City updated the map, in some cases, the signs:
• Greenleaf Street West from its intersection with Dodge Avenue to its intersection with Pitner Avenue
• Harrison Street West from its intersection with Crawford Avenue to its intersection with Greeley Avenue
• Lincoln Street West from its intersection with Green Bay Road to its intersection with Hartrey Avenue
• Pitner Avenue South from its intersection with Greenleaf Street to its intersection with Main Street
Removing Streets from Snow Routes: Signs posted on certain sections of Foster Street, Keeney Street and South Boulevard indicated they are residential, but the City still had them posted on the map and in the City Code as snow routes. Railroad Avenue between Davis and Church streets was eliminated with the development at 909 Davis St. The City removed them from the Code and the map.
• Foster Street East from its intersection with Ridge Avenue to its intersection with Sherman Avenue
• Keeney Street West from its intersection with Sheridan Road to its intersection with Michigan Avenue
• South Boulevard East from its intersection with Chicago to its intersection with Sheridan Road
Snow Route Posting Modifications
The City says the “majority of the posted signs along the snow routes reflect the information in the proposed revisions,” but some changes still need to be made. The City will remove the signs on Greenleaf Street from Dodge Avenue east to Sherman Avenue.
The City will post snow-route signs in the following areas:
• Benson Avenue: from Emerson Street south to Elgin Road
• Green Bay Road: north of McCormick Boulevard Avenue, west side of street next to Kingsley School
• Elmwood Avenue: from Davis Street south to Grove Street
• Maple Avenue: from Emerson Street south to University Place
• Ridge Avenue: Change current snow emergency signs from Central Street south to
• Colfax Street to snow route signs, only on west side of street
• Orrington Avenue: Add one sign on east side of street south of Church Street | <urn:uuid:127b4525-914a-4cd1-bfdd-dd31039f9d42> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://evanstonroundtable.com/2018/10/17/flurry-of-changes-in-snow-routes-snow-emergency/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572215.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815235954-20220816025954-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.945523 | 1,022 | 1.710938 | 2 |
As the coronavirus pandemic continues for its nth month, you may be starting to feel more listless and uneasy. The new normal has inevitably taken its toll on everybody in numerous ways, and a lot of people could be starting to wonder if they were able to use their quarantine time well. Even though restrictions have eased up in many areas, it is still suggested to stay home as much as possible. So, if you’re wondering what to do in your humble abode, try out these suggestions.
Try making new dishes.
Cooking can be an engaging yet calming activity to spend time on, and in the end, you can find yourself with a finished product that you can feast on to reward yourself. There are so many online resources now that can guide you to try out new and healthy options, from food blogs to tutorial videos. Here, you can find various recipes that intrigue you. You can either learn to make your favorite dish from that restaurant or expand your palate with untried meals.
Find a meditative practice that speaks to you.
A lot is going on during these trying times, and it can get overwhelming. A great way to keep your mental health in check is to find something you find meditative, whether that’s taking a few minutes to meditate, doing yoga, or gardening. Gardening can be a relaxing practice that also ends up beautifying your environment to make it more conducive for peace.
Learn a new skill.
Don’t be daunted by the oft-referenced “10,000 hours” for skills, as that only pertains to mastery. There’s no time like the present to try something new and hone a skill you want to learn. Studies suggest that it only takes 20 hours to learn a new skill enough for your own purposes. With all these hours at your disposal, it’s the perfect time to begin no matter what interests you.
Set up digital parties.
Social isolation has a lot of detrimental effects on both your body and mind. On top of the loneliness and depression it can bring, studies are showing that extended isolation can have the same health risks as smoking a lot of cigarettes every day. A great way to combat this is by making use of technology to connect to your friends and family. Set up a video call and chat with the people you care about or even try out some games you can play from the web.
Get back to your hobbies.
If you ever felt like life got in the way of you pursuing your hobbies, now is the time to get back into them. Whether it’s drawing, building LEGO houses, or dancing, home sweet home is a great space to find outlets for your creativity and engagement.
Whatever you choose to do, it’s important to remember that there is no set rule with how best to spend this time. Even if you just want to nap or binge on your favorite shows, it doesn’t have to be a waste because what matters most is flattening the curve and following the right guidelines for that. | <urn:uuid:1d136475-f174-44c7-b6a9-62f89d6701da> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.legendarybeast.com/what-are-the-activities-you-can-do-during-quarantine/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.965522 | 632 | 2.359375 | 2 |
If we can see anything positive in what has happened with the immigration crisis in which thousands of children have been separated from their parents in recent weeks, it may be how it has evoked a universal outcry uniting people who, in their outrage, are demanding change.
The outcry seems to have awakened the deep moral code that drives us to protect and safeguard vulnerable children.
It has been a call to action, and hopefully, the actions will both bring children and parents who were separated back together and prevent this cruel practice from happening ever again.
What is it about separating children from their parents that causes such a visceral response in each of us?
I think the answer lies in some of the research around abandonment.
According to therapist Susan Anderson in her book, The Journey from Abandonment to Healing:
Abandonment is our first fear. It is a primal fear—a fear universal to the human experience. As infants we lay screaming in our cribs, terrified that when our mothers left the room, they were never coming back. Abandonment is a fear that we will be left alone forever with no one to protect us, to see to our most urgent needs. For the infant, maintaining attachment to its primary caretaker is necessary for its survival. Any threat or disruption to that relationship arouses this primal fear, a fear that is embedded in the hardware of our brains, a fear we carry into adulthood.
When children experience feelings of disconnection, they do not have the defenses to fall back on what we as adults do. Their wounds may not heal but instead float beneath the surface of their lives right into adult hood.
When an infant, toddler or young child experiences abandonment, as happens when children are separated from their parents, they are overwhelmed by their sense of terror.
Abandonment causes a kind of instant paralysis that leaves a child in a state of utter despair.
What happens in the child’s brain is complex. In many ways the mind and the brain have to shut down.
The brain shutting down occurs because their pain is so great that after the initial crying, screaming, pleading responses, children often “disappear” into a state of dissociation. Their dissociation happens as they are unable to cope with the depth of their fear from abandonment and the resulting emotional pain.
A child may be frozen in their terror.
They also may appear to be able to recover enough to function, but this is a protective reaction that allows them to engage in order to survive.
Sometimes adults misinterpret children’s calmness after the initial terrified responses as an indicator that they are adjusting. However, that may not be the case. If anything, their brain has been so overwhelmed they go into an unnatural state of “contrived calmness.”
Early abandonment experiences are one of the most significant types of trauma a child can experience.
Children need and deserve to be securely attached to their primary caregivers, experiencing the cocooning aspect of a safe, predictable, loving relationship. Anything else interferes with their ability to thrive.
The children we see on television, whose faces express overwhelming terror and fear, are having their brains deeply wounded. Traumatic memories are being created that will leave them forever changed unless there are immediate trauma-sensitive responses.
In Dr. Bruce Perry’s, The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog, he describes what he and his staff observed when they cared for the children from the Waco massacre. After the initial stressful responses when separated from their parents, the children appeared to be calmer and able to play and interact with the adults around them.
The authorities even challenged Dr. Perry for being so concerned when the children looked outwardly relaxed. They thought that behavior was indicative of them being just fine. It was only after he told them to measure the children’s resting heart rates, an indication of their internal stress, that they were convinced that the children were indeed under extreme internal stress (the heart rates were in the 160s instead of being in the normal range of the low 100s).
We need to appreciate just how traumatized children are when they experience forced separation from their parents as is happening in this immigration crisis. We also need to help parents appreciate that adults caring for these children need to have trauma-sensitive responses in order to help alleviate some of the extreme stress these children have experienced.
We can’t sugarcoat this issue either.
Once reunited, children may seem to be recovering. Still, all the research on trauma and abandonment makes it clear that some of the damage is profoundly deep and very difficult to mediate.
Our country needs to take responsibility for providing both short and long-term emotional care for the damage done by this immoral treatment of children. Plus, we need to find ways to ensure that this does not happen again. It is our moral responsibility.
Invitation to Reflect
- Think about your emotional and visceral responses to the images you saw of children being separated from their parents. What words come to mind?
- How do you feel even now about what has happened? What do you think your responsibilities are for these children and families?
- What are some of the specific things you can do to provide a voice for these children? Have you called or emailed your congressperson?
- In what ways might you educate your own children in order to promote a strong moral sense in them for how children should always be treated, like never being separated from parents in the cruel ways we have seen in recent weeks?

Obama on talk of Warren feud: It's not personal
President Barack Obama on Thursday downplayed widespread talk of a feud between him and Sen. Elizabeth Warren. To him, “it’s never been personal.”
Obama and Warren have been engaged in a war of words over the president’s push for a historic trade deal that progressives such as Warren believe will be damaging for U.S. workers.
The alleged spat grabbed more attention this week, with Sen. Sherrod Brown suggestingthat gender played a role, noting how Obama used Warren’s first name in his attacks on her views.
Speaking at a news conference on Thursday, Obama said talk of a feud is just “fun for the press.”
“The issue with respect to myself and Elizabeth has never been personal,” he said. “It’s fun for the press to see if we can poke around at it, when you see two close allies who have a disagreement on a policy issue.”
He suggested that Warren is just one of a number of his fellow Democrats with which he is debating the benefits of trade.
“There are a whole bunch of some of my best friends in the Senate, as well as in the House — some of my earliest supporters — who disagree with me,” Obama said, adding that he understands their position because he shares their view that previous trade deals led to a loss of U.S. jobs among other problems. | <urn:uuid:9d2b96cf-125c-4f2b-ab68-3b5fb1cd3141> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.politico.com/story/2015/05/obama-elizabeth-warren-fight-not-personal-117975?ml=ri | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.979108 | 306 | 1.5625 | 2 |
Maine might be best known for lobsters, lighthouses and moose, but this strikingly picturesque Northeastern state has so much more, from more than 3,500 miles of rugged coastline to one of the most dynamic food scenes in the country. From the fjords of Acadia National Park to the deep woods and lakes near Rangeley, Maine offers unparalleled outdoors experiences.
Maine is the only place in North America with a large, historic fleet of windjammers, small traditional sailing vessels that offer multi night cruises. The Maine Island Trail is a kayaker’s delight, a 375-mile waterway extending from the New Hampshire border on the west, to Machias Bay on the east. The trail winds its way along the coast, through protected saltwater rivers and quiet bays, and among islands large and small. It includes over 180 islands and mainland sites along the route. For hikers, Maine’s 281 miles of the Appalachian Trail are generally considered the most challenging of all fourteen states. Lakes, streams, and bogs abound, and moose and loon sightings are common.
Come winter, Maine offers downhill enthusiasts 18 ski areas, including Sugarloaf and Sunday River, with a wide variety of on-mountain lodging. Maine also has hundreds of kilometers of cross- country skiing trails and endless opportunities for snowmobilers.
The state’s love affair with food from the sea is celebrated all summer long, with events including the Yarmouth Clam Festival and the Maine Lobster Festival in Rockland. Portland’s energetic restaurant and brew pub scene led bon appetit to call it “America’s Foodiest Small Town.” That food revolution has spread all over the state, from Rockland and Camden to Brunswick. Biddeford and Lewiston.
Maine’s wild natural beauty has inspired generations of visual artists, with renowned colonies in Ogunquit and on Monhegan Island. The eight museums that make up the Maine Art Museum Trail, — Bates College Museum of Art, Bowdoin College Museum of Art, Colby College Museum of Art, Farnsworth Art Museum, Ogunquit Museum of American Art, Portland Museum of Art, University of Maine Museum of Art, and Monhegan Museum of Art and History — showcase some of the finest works by Maine artists past and present.

The first step is to learn how to determine and identify the issue that is affecting the air conditioner. Split AC valves should be replaced. The valve could have multiple leaks so it is worth asking to get help from a professional.
You might be able to fix the valves instead than buying new parts. This could help you conserve time and money while waiting for the part to arrive. It is common to find Allen key screws within the valve. The valves have silicone O-rings inside. In many cases, this ring becomes damaged or damaged, and can cause leaking in the hot summertime.
You will want to remove the Allen key screws and replace the O-rings. This can be inexpensive and easy to do. Air conditioning companies offer a range of ways to fix your AC unit in your the home. Ask experts or experienced people that you can count on. 2ehsnlg71p. | <urn:uuid:7d2c2da8-ff2f-4dc0-9158-d93bda1f7eff> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://downtownrochesterrestaurants.com/how-to-repair-air-conditioner-service-valves-world-global-news/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572215.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815235954-20220816025954-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.949816 | 182 | 1.757813 | 2 |

OLIN BAPTIST CHURCH
Founded in 1878 by five charter members, this church originally was named Kings Chapel. It was also known as Pleasant Hill Missionary Baptist Church and as Dry Fork Church. The church deacons purchased land at this site in 1899, and when a post office for the community was granted under the name Olin, the church was renamed Olin Baptist Church. Serving the community for well over a century, this church has offered a variety of worship and educational programs and has supported both domestic and foreign missionary endeavors. | <urn:uuid:762807a9-6ff8-4cf3-bc44-a0d88d893fd7> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | http://photos.historical-markers.org/exif/show/5059 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.917168 | 263 | 2.1875 | 2 |
Technology giant Toshiba is set to expand into a niche area of PC enterprise space. This time, the company plans on carrying this out with a pair of smart glasses, which will be supported by Windows 10 operating system. Even though this might sound a bit far-fetched, it is true that the firm is actively working towards ensuring that this takes place.
Dubbed as, ‘Dyna Edge AR Smart Glasses,’ the new product is being designed specifically for workers in the field. By workers in the field, we mean repair workers that pull up a blueprint or a warehouse worker that scans product barcodes. The frames come packed with a glass display that can easily be placed over one’s right eye along with an outward-facing camera, which can further be used to capture videos or pictures.
The computer will remain devoid of the headset. In other words, they can easily be connected to the mini-PC as well. “The specs are part of Toshiba’s Dyna Edge series, a line of compact computers that weigh less than a pound,” a report by PC Mag reads. “They will run on a sixth-generation Intel Core processor and include different memory configurations. The headset itself connects to the PC via a USB cable,” the report further adds.
One reason why Toshiba decided to go ahead with Windows 10 as its primary operating system, is because it is meant to be a real enterprise integration.
Furthermore, the company also reportedly tapped upon the Vuzix enterprise, which already manufacturers smart glasses. The firm recently released a demo, which showcases the smart glasses in its full glory. In the video, it can be seen that the smart glasses are meant to work like portable Windows 10 PC. One can easily access the Windows desktop through a simple tap on the side of the glass frames. | <urn:uuid:bbab9754-3054-4612-a1c3-2d8d0ed380ca> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.techandgeek.com/toshiba-set-update-smart-glasses-windows-10/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882571584.72/warc/CC-MAIN-20220812045352-20220812075352-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.9485 | 378 | 1.6875 | 2 |
Jack Dorsey, the co-founder and the CEO of the famous social networking site Twitter, as well as the Square payment platform, was a guest speaker at Consensus 2018, the event where he commented exclusively on his predictions about the use of cryptocurrencies in the financial market in the long term, stating that, in his opinion, Bitcoin (BTC) will be the native cryptocurrency of the Internet.
According to reports coming from Bloomberg and David Floyd, one of the reporters present at the Consensus 2018 gala, in New York City, USA, Jack Dorsey said that the Internet needs a native currency that facilitates transactions and payments within the web without limitations from third parties.
Although the co-founder of Twitter is not entirely sure if the cryptocurrency assets will end up taking the place of the Internet’s native currency, he does hope that Bitcoin (BTC) will be able to capitalize on the cyber market and become a currency among web users.
Jack Dorsey, the CEO of Twitter, is not at his first statements in the favor of Bitcoin (BTC)
“The Internet deserves a native currency. It’ll have a native currency. I don’t know if it’s Bitcoin (BTC) or not. I hope it is,” were the words the businessman gave to the group of enthusiasts who attended the event.
Similarly, Jack Dorsey commented that he has always been an enthusiast of the philosophy of cryptocurrencies, an assertion that is based on the constant support the co-founder of Twitter given to crypto coins, over the time.
However, at first, when Bitcoin (BTC) White Paper was launched, it did not understand the long-term impact and implications of this new blockchain technology, as he himself admitted.
In the past, however, Jack Dorsey has already expressed his deep confidence in the potential for financial transformation of blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies, tools that have emerged for him as the great technological innovations of this decade with the capacity, in the case of Bitcoin (BTC), to become the native currency of the Internet. | <urn:uuid:ef4b8022-8111-451e-9649-be32e49274b2> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://billionaire365.com/2018/05/17/bitcoin-btc-will-be-the-native-currency-of-the-internet-according-to-jack-dorsey-twitter-ceo/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573760.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819191655-20220819221655-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.967356 | 420 | 1.789063 | 2 |
As ever, Nigerian companies dominate our survey of the Top 25 banks in West and Central Africa. The West African giant has 15 entries in our table, leaving three for Ghana and one each for Togo, Mali, Senegal and Côte d’Ivoire in West Africa, plus one each for Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon in Central Africa.
Côte d’Ivoire’s showing is particularly poor. What was the strongest Francophone economy on the continent regularly had a handful of banks in West Africa’s Top 25 until 2000 but a decade of conflict and insecurity has devastated its economy. It remains to be seen whether the end of the conflict will feed through into a stronger economy and financial sector in the near future.
Nigerian banks fill nine out of the sub-regional top 10, with only Togo-based Ecobank Transnational to prevent a Nigerian clean sweep.
The value of the capital base of the region’s banks has changed relatively little over the past year. Société Générale de Banques au Senegal required core capital of $95m to secure 25th position last year, while Banque Internationale du Cameroun pour l’Epargne et le Crédit needed just $1m more to take the same spot in our 2011 survey.
Zenith International Bank retains first position with core capital of $2,405m, up from $2,270m last year, still only just ahead of First Bank of Nigeria, which recorded a similar increase in core capital to $2,221m.
Guaranty Trust Bank has now overtaken Ecobank to take third position. However, the long-term success or failure of many established Nigerian banks will depend on the outcome of the Central Bank of Nigeria’s (CBN) ongoing disposal of banks that were previously nationalised in an effort to save them. A spate of mergers could lead to the creation of a leaner, more manageable group of Nigerian banks.
In the meantime, the CBN is wasting no time in seeking to improve governance and transparency in the nation’s financial institutions. In mid-September, it was joined by Nigeria’s 24 banks to set up a working group in partnership with the Dutch development bank, Nederlandse Financierings Maatschappij voor Ontwikkelingslanden, and the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation to promote responsible financial practice.
CBN governor, Lamido Sanusi said: “The need for Nigerian banks to integrate sustainability into their business processes cannot be overemphasised. The development of an industry standard is a welcome initiative and we will support the banks to ensure that we contribute effectively to the sustainability of not just the financial institutions but of the society as a whole.”
The head of the United Nations Environment Programme Finance Initiative (UNEPFI), Paul Clements Hunt, added: “Today’s decision is a historic commitment by Nigerian regulators and bankers to a better environment. It is inspiring to witness a country coming together to address one of the greatest challenges currently facing humanity.”
Other banks with international support are seeking to step up their operations in Nigeria amidst the current round of mergers. Standard Chartered Bank Nigeria, for instance, has opened a new branch in Ikeja in Lagos State as it begins to expand its footprint in the country. The group chairman of Standard Chartered, John Peace, commented: “Lagos is an extremely important state in Nigeria. It has always played a pivotal role in the development of the country and whatever happens in Lagos, usually gets replicated positively in other parts of the nation.
“The opening of this branch by Standard Chartered Bank, Nigeria is a positive development for Ikeja’s rapidly growing financial services sector and a testament to the importance of this axis within the state.”
Meanwhile, Stanbic IBTC Bank has been awarded a licence to provide mobile payment services in Nigeria, taking the number of players in the mobile banking sector up to seven. Standard Bank Group already offers mobile banking services in Ghana, South Africa and elsewhere on the continent. The CBN has been keen to enforce the Mobile Payments Regulatory Framework to ensure that past problems with financial mismanagement and corruption in the country’s traditional banking sector are not replicated in the mobile field.
The chief executive of Stanbic IBTC Bank, Sola David-Borha, said: “We consider the licence as another platform and opportunity through which we can showcase our bank’s ability to help customers simplify their lives, using relevant technology to make available products and services targeted at their needs. We will be launching various mobile payments products and services designed to enhance financial inclusion in the country.” | <urn:uuid:76792c26-eaf1-4e34-a189-9551d27337a8> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://african.business/2011/10/economy/west-africas-top-banks-another-new-dawn-for-nigeria/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573760.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819191655-20220819221655-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.931735 | 994 | 1.554688 | 2 |
I can remotely control the temperature in my home, so that several hours before returning from a vacation, the AC or heat is turned on hours before I arrive back.
The technology is quite simple: I just call a neighbor to do it! And I'm happy to do the same when a neighbor travels.
The Cohousing Home Monitoring Network makes traveling easier in other ways:
- I can use it to water plants.
- I can arrange pet sitting with it. There are several teens and preteens within walking distance I can call to watch my pets at a moments notice.
- I worry less about theft. A stranger walking down my pedestrian pathway hauling a TV would be quickly questioned.
- I feel safe from fires. Nearby neighbors would hear a fire alarm from my house and I can trust them to report it early.
The Cohousing Home Monitoring Network is just one of many benefits from knowing your neighbors. | <urn:uuid:c52d748c-f170-4305-b09a-f94f8a401723> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.emersoncommons.org/blog/the-cohousing-home-monitoring-network | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572215.27/warc/CC-MAIN-20220815235954-20220816025954-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.953646 | 190 | 1.570313 | 2 |
Pink Floyd – Another brick in the wall
Shifting to a new decade has always been a special moment in time. At the end of an year with the ending 9, and with the beginning of a new decade, we feel the need to summarize the ten past years in few words, even if ten years are quite a long period, full of days, events, people, and of course songs.
At the beginning of 1980 there was a lot of hope in Italy; the 70s are still referenced as dark years, or “years of lead”, with people shooting in the roads, blasting bombs, people afraid of living their lives. The 80s needed to take us beyond this wall. Actually the end of the decade is always a wall, a sort of border, even if it ultimately takes just one second between a moment and the next, and the champagne flows at midnight, and it all seems so natural.
The charts at the beginning of the 80s were like this: the groovy experimental sounds of the 70s were slowly flowing into the smooth electronics of the 80s, even if many topics were tough and challenging. At the top of the charts we found a hit that would remain forever a piece of history for many reasons: music, lyrics, video, authors. Pink Floyd are really a timeless and ageless group, with an eternal career, and “Another brick in the wall” was definitely one of their greatest hits, and took us directly into the 80s.
Even if we know that from a musical perspective, the 80s began some months later… but we will soon talk about it again!

Hello, and welcome to The Mold Show this week. My name is Dr. Cameron Jones, and I'm going to be focusing on indoor air quality, and specifically a particular class of business where you could unexpectedly come into contact with high levels of mold, where you'd least expect it. And what are those types of businesses that I'm focusing on? Well, they are your nail salon and podiatry medical practice. And the talk this week is on how fungi you're taking over nail salons and what to do about it.
And why are we talking about this? Because a really interesting publication just came out in the literature, focusing on how the practices that go on inside these salons is liberating higher levels of fungi, not just spores, but debris, which can potentially cause an immune reaction. And so I'm going to be going through what this publication shows and what you should be looking out for when you next visit the podiatrist or the nail salon.
So what are some of the health concerns in nail salons and podiatry practices? Well, I did a review of some of the statistics, and in Australia there are over 3000 retail nail salons and there are over 5,759 registered podiatrists. So, that is a lot of individuals who are performing various different services on nails. And most often, these workers complained of respiratory illnesses and allergies, and since the early noughties in the research literature, there have been lots of reports of podiatrists showing up to a 40% increase in asthma, compared with the general population.
Now the most common nail condition is something called onychomycosis. Yes, it's a difficult word to pronounce, but this is infection of the nail bed with different types of fungi. And the types of fungi are usually called dermatophytes, That is they excel at exploiting the nail bed tissue and using that as a nutrient source. But when services are performed on nails, such as drilling and grinding and buffing, this liberates higher amounts of dust containing fungi. And the types of fungi that are found in the air include Aspergillus, Scopulariopsis, and even Candida.
Now we have to focus on the fungal risks. Obviously, inhaling fine particulate matter for prolonged periods of time can definitely cause adverse reactions. Now this is normally okay for healthy people, but not for older or immunocompromised people, and especially in this era of COVID safety, we all need to be aware of those environments which may pose a stress on older or immunocompromised people. And podiatry and nail cells are certainly some of those service providers where we need to take precautions.
Now it's well-known that fungal exposure can cause asthma, but there's other types of problems as well. Fungal sensitization is an immune response without inflammation, whereas fungal allergy involves inflammation. So what are some of the solutions to reduce these risks? You should definitely be looking for nail salon personnel and podiatrists who are wearing the correct PPE. What do I mean by this? Well, usually a mask, a face mask, and make sure it's well-fitting, and you may need to wear one as well, to reduce your exposure to this fungal contaminated dusts that are all around you in these environments.
But podiatrists are also being encouraged to explore and implement better drilling techniques, and to take advantage of water-based dust extraction systems.
At the end of the day, indoor air quality is something that we can all be vigilant about. So next time you visit your podiatrist or your nail salon, look out for what type of indoor air quality engineering controls they're implementing. And just be aware that all of those fine fragments and dusts definitely do contain mold or fungi, and this could potentially cause an adverse health reaction in you. Anyway, bye for now. See you next week.

We provide the first estimate of a household water demand function in Serbia. The econometric model is estimated on a panel dataset made of the 25 Serbian districts (oblasts) covering years 2009 to 2012. Our estimates reveal a price elasticity of the Serbian household water demand varying between -0.2 and -0.9, depending on the model considered. We also demonstrate how the household water demand function can inform water policies in a prospective context. Using our estimates, we explore some possible future patterns of regional household water consumption in Serbia

Pat Quinn, the co-founder of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, dies at 37
Pat Quinn, one of the co-founders of the viral ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, died Sunday at the age of 37, according to a statement from the ALS Foundation.
The Ice Bucket Challenge went viral in 2014 with more than 17 million people participating by pouring ice water over their heads to raise awareness for ALS, commonly known as 'Lou Gehrig's disease.' Nationally, 2.5 million people donated $115 million to the ALS Association in what the organization said at the time was "probably the single largest episode of giving outside of a disaster or emergency."
"Pat fought ALS with positivity and bravery and inspired all around him. Those of us who knew him are devastated but grateful for all he did to advance the fight against ALS," the ALS Foundation said in a news release.
Quinn, who lived in Yonkers, New York, was 30 when he was diagnosed with ALS in March 2013. The ALS Association said that following his diagnosis, he established a group of supporters, "Quinn for the Win," to raise awareness and funds for the fight against ALS.
The "Quinn for the Win" group posted on its Facebook page Sunday that Quinn "was a blessing to us all in so many ways. We will always remember him for his inspiration and courage in his tireless fight against ALS."
Last December, Pete Frates, another man who popularized the challenge, died at age 34.
The Ice Bucket Challenge was a multimillion-dollar movement to help find a cure for ALS. To participate in the challenge, people dumped a bucket of ice-cold water over their heads, then challenged a friend to either do the same or donate money to the The ALS Association.
The ALS Association reported that it and its 38 chapters received $4 million in donations in just two weeks after the challenge appeared on social media. During that same period the year before, the association brought in $1.1 million.
What is ALS?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as ALS, is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease. It affects the nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord that make the muscles of both the upper and lower body work.
Those nerve cells lose their ability to initiate and control muscle movement, which leads to paralysis and death. People with the condition lose control of muscle movement, eventually losing their ability to eat, speak, walk and, ultimately, breathe.
Its most famous sufferer was famed physicist Stephen Hawking, who died at the age of 76.
The disease is named after Lou Gehrig, the famous baseball player who retired in 1939 because of the condition. Other notable people who had it were actor David Niven, NBA Hall of Famer George Yardley and jazz musician Charles Mingus.
Little is known about the causes of the disease, and there is no cure. The condition is slightly more common in men than women. | <urn:uuid:1e833c07-4117-495d-90b0-8c4db8279a99> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.wcvb.com/article/pat-quinn-co-founder-of-the-als-ice-bucket-challenge-dies-at-37/34757496 | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572063.65/warc/CC-MAIN-20220814173832-20220814203832-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.981082 | 607 | 2.265625 | 2 |
Browsers are 1 of the keys to net security. Actually, I suppose they’re genuinely far more like the car than the important. Soon after all, they’re the vehicle we use to vacation about the net. Sometimes an unwelcome passenger jumps on board though, and could even carjack your browser – using you someplace you do not want to be.
So, what to do?
There are a amount of choices, the first of which is the browser application you select to use. Microsoft’s Internet Explorer still has the lion’s share of the marketplace, but it’s dropping floor to other, a lot more safe browsers these kinds of as Firefox.
Even when not inherently much better, other browsers and running systems are considerably less popular targets. Until finally equally legislators and application sellers get really serious about stability, it’s feasible to reduce your ‘target area’ by being out of the limelight.
Schooling is an additional key to ‘hardening’ browser stability.
There are a big quantity of possibilities in equally Web Explorer and most other browsers that manage what is and is not authorized. Most end users have minor or no expertise of how these location influence them.
For illustration, is it desirable to ‘Allow ActiveX controls and plug-ins’ to Operate, or ought to that be established to Prompt? Person judgments right here, as in all elements of protection in life, have to be made. One particular element is your tolerance for responding to prompts vs . your willingness to danger infection. Right after all, you have to decide whom to permit in your automobile, never you?
It really is an undesirable trade-off to be confronted with, and 1 which we can hope sometime will not likely be necessary. But in the interim, it is not needed to be a computer geek to experiment and read a little bit to locate out what these settings impact. The first time you’re contaminated and shed a day recovering, you may want you would invested the two hours finding out.
https://www.lalicat.com/docs/luminati-proxy/ is the ultimate leg of browser stability. Do you practice ‘safe browsing’? Some internet sites prompt to obtain ActiveX controls (small plans), dialers, adware and other dynamic material. Do you really know what’s likely to happen when you say indeed, or are you trusting the source? Believe in is needed, but as the aged stating goes ‘Trust, but hold your eyes open’.
Most men and women never comprehend just how a lot info is created accessible just by searching the net. When you visit a internet site, different pieces of info about your spot and your computer get shared with them – it is a two way street.
Back to education for a second. Commit some time understanding how to lock down your technique, outside the browser configurations, to make it a lot more hard for these errant programs to obtain Administrator level privileges. Your time will be nicely re-paid out.
Edit the email settings to avert virus, malware intrusion by way of email messages. Simply click the Incoming tab and choose Minimal Bandwidth mode from the detailed possibilities. Opera will now download only the first one hundred traces of an e-mail concept (whether or not real or destructive) unless of course you request it to download the entire message. So if the concept appears to be from a trusted resource, you can permit Opera to down load the total concept. Normally, leave it as is and/or delete it.
Configure the cookie options to make your browser secured. Simply click the Configurations tab and navigate to Fast Preferences> Edit internet site preferences> Cookies. Pick any a single of the presented possibilities viz. Settle for cookies, Accept cookies from only from the internet sites I check out, Never ever settle for cookies, Delete new cookies when exiting Opera, and Request me before accepting cookies. I advise you to choose the previous option viz. Request me before accepting cookies. Help save the changes and give up the window. Now from the next time onwards, Opera will prompt you to either allow or deny the cookies every single time you pay a visit to a web site.
Like Mozilla Firefox, Opera integrates a protected Password Manager feature that enables it securely retailer all your passwords (if you are making use of diverse passwords for every account) and login particulars like usernames and/or email addresses etc. This attribute will give you reduction from memorizing all your passwords and typing them every time you log in to a website. It is a secured and encrypted feature. So, you need to have not be concerned about the security and safety of your password and login particulars. They will not be compromised with Opera.
The Password Manager feature is turned on by default in Opera. When you log in to an account on a web site, Password Manager prompts you whether to help save the password for this website or not. You can possibly hit the Help save or Never button as preferred. If at any time you want to delete your saved passwords, click the Settings tab. Navigate to Preferences> Forms> Password Supervisor.

Webb in full focus
The adjustment of the Webb Telescope's (JWST) mirrors and instruments is now complete. This means that the telescope can take images in optimal sharpness with all cameras, which is demonstrated in the image that NASA has released. The telescope is now ready to begin the final preparations before it can be used by avid astronomers. In this final step, each instrument will be tested in all possible modes to ensure that it is ready for the scientific observations.
The images show part of the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy to the Milky Way. Each image is taken with different instruments / cameras on the James Webb telescope and shows a number of stars, each of which can be distinguished in the extremely high-resolution images. In the picture taken with MIRI, you can also see radiation from interstellar dust in the galaxy. The fantastically sharp images show that the setup phase for the Webb telescope has gone very well and bodes well for future observations.
Researchers from the Department of Astronomy at Stockholm University are involved in a number of JWST projects that, starting this summer, will have their observations implemented. The scientific goals of these projects include exoplanets, supernovae, star clusters, and the very first galaxies. Researchers from the department are also part of the consortium that built MIRI, and are thus part of an international research team that has direct access to data from this instrument.

Federal officers have a favourite chorus about COVID-19: “We’ve the instruments.” There’s only one downside: As those that have labored to finish HIV for many years know, simply having the instruments shouldn’t be sufficient.
LEILA FADEL, HOST:
For COVID-19, federal officers appear to have adopted a chorus.
(SOUNDBITE OF MONTAGE)
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: We’ve the instruments.
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: We’ve the instruments and protocols…
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #3: Do we’ve the instruments we’d like…
UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #4: We’ve the instruments.
FADEL: Three years in the past, earlier than COVID-19 even started, officers within the Trump administration mentioned the identical factor in regards to the HIV epidemic.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)
ALEX AZAR: We’ve the instruments. That is an historic alternative.
FADEL: That’s the former well being and human providers secretary Alex Azar talking with NPR in 2019. However those that’ve labored on HIV for many years say to cease a pandemic, it isn’t sufficient to have the instruments. NPR’s Selena Simmons-Duffin experiences.
SELENA SIMMONS-DUFFIN, BYLINE: Stephanie Brooks-Wiggins is 76 years outdated. She lives in Baltimore. She was recognized with HIV in 1986. Again then, there have been no instruments to assist her.
STEPHANIE BROOKS-WIGGINS: There was no therapy. There have been no medication. You’ll go to the clinic, and the psychiatrist would discuss to you to maintain you from going off the deep finish.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Over the many years, scientists developed many HIV therapies. And so they received higher and simpler to take, she says. However HIV has not ended within the U.S. as these instruments grew to become obtainable. A stubbornly excessive quantity, greater than 30,000 individuals, are recognized with HIV yearly. Solely 25% of people that is perhaps eligible truly take a preventive tablet known as PrEP. And even with correct and at-home choices for testing, over 150,000 individuals within the U.S. are HIV constructive however do not know it.
ADAORA ADIMORA: Scientific discoveries are a crucial however not adequate issue to fully eradicate illness.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: That is Dr. Adaora Adimora, a doctor and professor on the College of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She first began treating individuals with HIV within the Eighties. She says the instruments to fight HIV have come a good distance. There are actually topical gels and easy-to-take capsules and even injections.
ADIMORA: I do not know that I ever greeted any of those new advances saying, that is the factor that is going to finish HIV.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: That is as a result of she’s seen the boundaries to entry and implementation, she says, boundaries just like the excessive price of prescribed drugs and the maddening patchwork well being care system. The boundaries to COVID’s instruments, like checks and vaccines and therapeutics, have been completely different.
However A. Toni Younger says there are parallels and customary errors. She lives in West Virginia and runs the Group Schooling Group, which does public well being outreach.
A TONI YOUNG: We maintain doing the identical factor over and again and again, saying, it is over there, why do not you go get it?
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: That angle hasn’t labored to combat HIV or COVID, Younger says. It does not work for individuals who haven’t got entry to well being care, who do not belief the medical system or who do not suppose they’re in danger. As she sees it, on the subject of the COVID-19 pandemic, the nation has missed out on the prospect to take advantage of the vaccine by failing to grasp and work with individuals in all their complexity.
YOUNG: It was an all-or-nothing strategy. You are both with me on this vaccine, otherwise you’re not. You are both on my aspect, otherwise you’re my enemy on the subject of the vaccine. You are both a vaccine denier, otherwise you’re a vaccine getter. And there’s a complete lot of room between these two.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: The body of us versus them is implicit in lots of the rhetoric lately about getting again to regular. It is in phrases like pandemic of the unvaccinated and telling individuals they’ve completed the proper factor by getting vaccinated and may due to this fact have particular privileges, like not being punished with issues like indoor masking and testing necessities.
That method of speaking about public well being, says Steven Thrasher, creates the situations for pandemics to last more. Thrasher is a professor of journalism at Northwestern and creator of the forthcoming ebook “The Viral Underclass.” With HIV within the mid-Nineties, when therapies grew to become way more efficient…
STEVEN THRASHER: Individuals who received entry to the medication started to drag away and take their political capital and go residence as a result of they did not should be within the combat anymore. And the virus continued to pool in what I name a viral underclass in the US.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: This was a tragic and deadly mistake within the combat towards HIV, he says. And now it is occurring once more. The shortage of political will in Congress to go extra COVID-19 funding is an ideal instance, he says. And people nonetheless at specific threat are those that are warehoused away, out of sight.
THRASHER: People who find themselves in nursing houses as aged individuals or who’re in convalescent facilities as disabled individuals, and, in fact, people who find themselves incarcerated – they’re already out of public view, and individuals are not listening to them.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: These settings can act as epidemic engines, he explains. Folks go to their family members in these locations. Employees come and return into the neighborhood. And so the pandemic drags on, and lives are needlessly misplaced. He’s upset that policymakers appear to be centering the individuals who have essentially the most entry to instruments to guard themselves, not the least.
THRASHER: I actually hoped that that might be completely different this time.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: This isn’t to say nobody is attempting to get the obtainable instruments out to individuals who haven’t got as a lot energy and entry. A. Toni Younger in West Virginia has one concept for the right way to do it.
YOUNG: We need to hit individuals within the face with the COVID vaccination as a result of we’re in the midst of the pandemic. However perhaps I received to gradual stroll you to that COVID vaccination.
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Here is how that may go.
YOUNG: Should you received 5 children and y’all are hungry, you’ll want to work out the place you are getting your meals from. You do not care about my vaccine. Let me assist you. What do you want from me? If I can get you the meals that you simply want, after we do the observe up – hey, did the meals voucher work out for you? Nice. Can we discuss to you now about – once more – in regards to the COVID vaccine?
SIMMONS-DUFFIN: Her group has a $3.5 million cooperative settlement with CDC to make use of this strategy to vaccinate individuals towards COVID-19 and influenza in West Virginia. Younger hopes CDC will proceed funding this for 3 years to allow them to broaden. She additionally hopes to unfold one of many classes from HIV – that folks and their relationship to well being is difficult, and the general public well being response must be prepared to satisfy them the place they’re.

The community of Azulis is named for the clear, blue water of the river nearby. The village was established by four native curanderos (healers) and their families a century ago. In the 1950s missionaries from the Summer Institute of Linguistics (Wycliffe Bible Translators) ventured into this protected valley and began working with village leaders to write down their language, promote literacy and translate the New Testament into their native tongue: Yanesha. The rain forest is remarkable for its biodiversity and when given the assignment to write down the names of all the birds they knew, village children soon came up with a list of 500 species!
Today many families living in the community attend the Iglesia Biblica Evangelica Yanesha (Yanesha Evangelical Bible Church), an independent body of believers that seeks to follow Christ while maintaining their unique cultural identity. Every family has at least one chacra (farm) where they grow yuca (manioc), pituca (a root with the texture of a potato) and, sometimes, corn, coffee and other crops. The river is teeming with fish and it is common to serve a whole, boiled carachama for breakfast.
Two students, Rebecca and Lewis, are serving in Azulis this term. The objective of their service, as described to them before departing for the rain forest, is to help improve the quality of life in the community, embracing ancestral practices while also developing modern skills to enable community members to protect their culture and natural resources in an era of rapid change.
Rebecca’s assignment is to engage in social projects dedicated to holistic human health, including initiating conversations with women, cataloguing the varieties of medicinal plants used traditionally and advocating for the rights of women and children in the community.
Lewis’ assignment is to teach English to children in a bilingual (Spanish-Yanesha) primary school and assist the teacher with other activities, such as sports. In addition, both Lewis and Rececca help promote awareness of the importance of responsible trash disposal (e.g. tossing wrappers into trash cans). And, significantly, each has discovered their role as a “learner, observer and exhibitor of curiosity”. | <urn:uuid:325a5069-bcd6-4d30-a81a-e837418b0200> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.goshen.edu/peru/2012/07/01/service-in-azulis-2/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882572870.85/warc/CC-MAIN-20220817062258-20220817092258-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.957834 | 457 | 2.953125 | 3 |
"We need to focus on the kind of human beings we want to have and the kind of society in which we want to live" -- Howard Gardner (photo courtesy of Harvard University)
What do the 81.5 million students in this country believe their families value most?
A Healthy Planet?
A Cultured Society?
What should the 81.5 million students in this country believe their families value most?
Howard Gardner is the John H. and Elisabeth A. Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. Among numerous honors, Gardner received a MacArthur Prize Fellowship in 1981. He has received honorary degrees from 26 colleges and universities. In 2005 and 2008, he was selected by Foreign Policy and Prospect magazines as one of the 100 most influential public intellectuals in the world. The author of 25 books translated into 28 languages, and several hundred articles, Gardner is best known in educational circles for his theory of multiple intelligences. Gardner directs the GoodWork Project -- a study of work that is excellent, engaging, and ethical. With colleagues at Project Zero, he is also investigating the nature of trust in contemporary society and ethical dimensions entailed in the use of the new digital media.
Dr. Gardner, what is your view on standardized testing?
Our analysis of the educational problems in the United States is very distorted. What does it say about the kind of a society we aspire to be, when we are analyzing our educational success almost entirely on standardized test scores in a few subject areas? Even the focus on global competitiveness, particularly with respect to test scores, is misguided. Instead, we need to focus on the kind of human beings we want to have and the kind of society in which we want to live. That is why, for two centuries, we have been much admired (and even imitated) around the world. Once we get that straight, I am not worried about our test scores or our rankings in one or another international ranking system.
What elements are missing from our current system's definition of educational excellence?
My belief in why America has been doing so well up to now is that we have been propelled by our immigrants and our encouragement of technical innovation and, indeed, creativity across the board. Historically, that's been more important than the schools we have and the test scores we post. I believe this is what has enabled America to take a leadership role in the last century. And yet we talk about the problems in America being about the kids in school, particularly the kids in the inner city, who aren't performing well. Of course we would like to improve education for all children.
But, look at what has happened since 2001. Enron, Lehman Brothers, AIG - all synonyms for great malpractice on the part of the so-called "best and the brightest." The unvarnished market model - everything can and should be counted, ranked, bought and sold - has brainwashed the culture. We've lost our sense of values. Success is being evaluated in one dimension only, and that is getting wealthy at all costs. There have been many casualties and probably will be more. We need to go beyond fear and greed - we need to re-establish a sense of trust, and to identify persons, practices, and policies that are truly admirable.
For the past 15 years, my colleagues and I have been working on the study of Good Work (GoodWork: Theory and Practice project--see goodworkproject.org and goodworktoolkit.org ) as a model for forward thinking that should be nurtured in the educational system. Good Work is about how we can help young people live a life of good work and good citizenship. We and the youth whom we hope to inspire should strive to live by 3 E's, which are firstly, technical Excellence (the worker knows his work and keeps up with the latest knowledge and techniques); secondly, being Engaged in the world around us (it feels good, it feels right, and it is personally engaging); and finally, good work is good in a moral sense, and that means it is carried out Ethically in a way that is responsible.
Let's apply this simple lens to our current educational system. I would say that in the inner city, the issue has been Excellence, and we're spending plenty of money trying to get that right. In the heartland, the problem has been about Engagement. Kids go to school and college and get through, but they don't seem to really care about using their minds. School doesn't have the kind of long term positive impact that it should. The upper middle class children who populate the suburbs have weak ethical muscles. On one calculus, they may be the "best and the brightest", but they have been dominated by Money, Markets, and Me. To my mind, that's been the wrong dominating figure in America over the past years. Of course, that is not the problem of the young people - it is the problem of the models that we older people have established and the kinds of signals that we give from birth onward... and I am afraid that it is many of the readers and writers of this blog. We need to "heal ourselves".
The countries who do the best in international comparisons, whether it's Finland or Japan, Denmark or Singapore, do well because they have professional teachers who are respected, and they also have family and community which support learning. I worry about the messages we send when we have such a focus on tests, data, and rankings.

How do we improve the capabilities and stature of teachers in the US so that they compare favorably with the capabilities and stature of teachers in Finland and Japan?
I sometimes say that if we tripled the salaries of teachers, the problems would evaporate. That's not literally true, but the low status of teachers and the lack of a career path are problems, perhaps fatal ones. [Editor's note: a 2011 OECD report shows US teachers' pay level is 22nd out of 27 countries researched.]
How do we send the right messages to kids about citizenship and community?
Powerful leadership needs to send new and different messages about the definition of success. I don't see how this can be done without the media - traditional and informal - and without gutsy leaders. When I think about the Republicans who are competing for the presidency, and the lackluster response from the current administration, I weep.
What are your thoughts on how might use the internet to achieve the objective of helping kids become better citizens - e.g. changes in online behavior?
The biggest communities in which young people now reside are online communities. These are like the "wild west" - there are no solid norms, and so everyone is going her own way or improvising. At our GoodPlay project (see goodworkproject.org) we are trying to work out suitable ethics and citizenship for these young people, our future leaders. At that site you can read about our collaborations with the New Media Literacies project and Common Sense Media.
How might colleges assess children on multiple levels (other than standardized tests)?
The better colleges have more resources and are able to and need to allocate more of these resources to assessing incoming students so that test scores alone (vs. multiple measures) don't play a dominant role in the admissions criteria. Nonetheless, colleges (including the ones with which I am associated) brag about the combined SAT scores. Even more hypocritically, those that have made the tests optional still attempt to recruit from the ranks of the higher scorers. Lloyd Thacker and his educational conservancy are trying to address this dilemma.
Should we be assessing values, discipline, respectfulness and good citizenship more?
Such assessments can and need to be done, but not by paper and pencil or computer-delivered tests! The traditional British system of knowledgeable inspectors is the best way that I know. Judgment by informed, disinterested (in the literal sense of that word), and wise individuals is the way that we can and should make our most important decisions as a society, and indeed, as a planet.
In educational reform, focus on the kind of human beings we want to have and the kind of society in which we want to live.
We should not evaluate our educational success based on standardized test scores in a few subject areas.
The better colleges are able to and need to allocate more of their resources to assessing incoming students so that test scores alone do not play a dominant role in the admissions criteria.
The countries that do best in international comparisons have professional teachers who are respected, and they also have family and community which support learning.

As part of its social contribution, Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) Society Cyprus recently completed its first round of presentations on financial literacy at public and private lyceums in Nicosia with great success.
The aim of the programme is for members of the society to present basic financial concepts to public and private lyceum students, in order to prepare them for the financial choices and procedures they will have to decide on as adults. CFA Society Cyprus’ presentations on financial literacy cover a broad range of financial topics, such as financial planning, debt, financial sector, and saving & investing. The society intends to add new thematic areas once the programme recommences in the new academic year.
A total of 700 students from Cyprus had the opportunity to attend the first round of presentations. Their strong participation along with their comments at the end of each presentation showed how interested they were in the topics, while they wanted to learn more on proper personal money management.
The head of the society’s financial literacy committee Stella Eliadou said that through the meetings, the society’s members got the opportunity to contribute towards developing the students’ critical thinking when it comes to personal financial planning, while also listening to their own queries and concerns. | <urn:uuid:34f4c6a9-324b-44a1-a3bd-a48bd2209612> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://cyprus-mail.com/2020/04/02/lyceum-students-offered-classes-in-personal-finance/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.957151 | 253 | 2.21875 | 2 |
The bewhiskered individual, who looked like a Scotsman, had the Teutonic name of Von Blix, and spoke with a strong American accent.
Von Blix was rough and boorish, but Tudor was gracefully easy in everything he did, or looked, or said.
Part of them, under the leadership of Tudor, were to go up the Balesuna and penetrate the mountainous heart of Guadalcanar, while the Martha, under Von Blix, sailed away for Malaita to put through similar exploration.
Tudor and Von Blix looked triumphantly at each other.
"Old Wheatsheaf's yarn was true, then," Tudor said, and Von Blix nodded.
"Von Blix befriended him and was told the secret." He turned and addressed Sheldon.
Then he addressed Von Blix. "As to the boys, you couldn't use them farther than Binu, and I'll lend you as many as you want as far as that.
"And you should be able to start day after to-morrow," Von Blix said to him.
"If I did," she retorted, "Von Blix wouldn't be finicky about my joining in the cruise to Malaita."
"Oh, old Von Blix is all right, a solid sort of chap in his fashion; but Tudor is fly-away--too much on the surface, you know.
says: "What he said did not represent the reality." And on the ex-Prime Minister's evidence to back joining US President George W Bush in the 2003 invasion, the now-retired Mr Blix

A deep and continuing commitment to child safety is at the very core of The Friends’ School. Respect and concern for each individual in the School’s care is driven by a foundational belief that there is that of God in everyone. This is fundamental to Quakerism and The Friends’ School. We strive to develop a culture which promotes child safety and the prevention of harm, where all members of the community feel comfortable speaking up. We commit to seeking and listening to the voices of children and cultivating an environment which is nurturing, open and aware. All forms of abuse and neglect are in opposition to the School’s Purpose and Concerns. The School has an enduring moral and legal obligation to report and act upon any concern counter to the wellbeing of children.
While these sentiments have always been at the heart of the School’s ethos and culture, the Child Wise accreditation process has more formally embedded the policies, processes and governance that support the School’s aim of becoming a certified Child Safe Organisation by the end of 2022.
To this end, the Safeguarding Children Policy and Expectations, Mandatory Reporting Policy Standards and Expectations and the Reporting Child Abuse and Neglect Form all became effective as of 1 March 2022 and can be viewed below.
These policies and expectations apply to students, staff, parents/guardians, volunteers, contractors and community members who participate in school life and/or visit the campus. Student/child safety is the number one priority of the School and these policies and expectations serve to articulate why and how we provide a safe environment for our students/children of the School.
Community Child Safeguarding Policies and Guidelines
Notifying Child Safeguarding Concerns
Members of The Friends’ School community should complete the following form when they hold concerns of abuse or neglect of a student or child in our care including Friends’ Early Learning and Friends Health & Fitness. Teachers within the School are to enter information directly into SEQTA.
Information and Code of Conduct for Staff
Information and Guidelines for Students
Information and Guidelines for Volunteers and Contractors

As a School, we are committed to promoting an environment which prevents harm and where students/children feel empowered to voice their concerns. As part of this responsibility, we are committed to upholding the ten National Child Safe Standards as outlined in Volume 6, Making Institutions Child Safe. It underpins a set of standards and expectations that correspond to the ten National Child Safe Standards that guide the School:
Every child/student has the human right to an education that will foster their physical, emotional and spiritual development. Providing a student/child safe environment is the first step in allowing this development to occur.
Established in 1991, Child Wise is one of Australia’s leading not-for-profit child abuse prevention organisations. We work to build awareness and empower individuals, communities and organisations around Australia to actively prevent child abuse and exploitation.
The Friends’ School has engaged and worked with Child Wise to conduct a Child Safety Review. The review process utilises static and dynamic approaches to comprehensively assess organisational child safety. This involves meetings with organisational leaders, and a rigorous review of policies, procedures and processes, which is then triangulated with site visits and stakeholder, (young people, parents, volunteers and staff), input; stakeholder contributions are gathered through focus groups and surveys. The School expects to be fully accredited with Child Wise by the end of 2022.
The Friends’ School joined the National Redress Scheme (NRS) in August 2019. The Board of Governors and school staff are fully committed to ensuring that our ongoing approach to child safety and the healing of historical harm is active and central in our systems and culture. Please click here for information on the School’s participation in the NRS. | <urn:uuid:4c87e914-a9be-45b8-849a-9c97a2e1d51f> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://www.friends.tas.edu.au/child-safeguarding/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573197.34/warc/CC-MAIN-20220818124424-20220818154424-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.939951 | 819 | 1.96875 | 2 |

| Introduction|| |
Anemia may be defined as a reduction below the normal values of the total red cell mass. Anemia has been defined by the World Health Organization as a reduction of hematocrit value below the normal limits or anemia is considered to exist in adults whose hemoglobin levels are lower than 13 g/dL (males) or 12 g/dL (females).
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a major world health problem. It is estimated to affect at least 20% of the world population and approximately 0%–18% in northeastern India. In SCD, the RBCs contain an abnormal hemoglobin called sickle hemoglobin, which causes these cells to change to a stiff, sticky, curved shape like sickle or crescent moon. Sickle cell dies prematurely causing anemia. They also pile up, and form plugs in blood vessels causing micro- and macrovascular complications.
SCD causes an activated adhesive endothelium. These vasculopathy abnormalities are attributable to ischemia-reperfusion injury, hemostatic activation, microvascular occlusion, and formation of a procoagulant milieu. Vasculopathy of SCD has been implicated in the development of pulmonary hypertension, stroke, leg ulceration, and priapism, particularly associated with hemolytic severity and reported also in other severe hemolytic disorders. This vasculopathy might also play a role in other chronic organ dysfunction in patients with SCD.
| Pathophysiology|| |
Hemoglobin is a molecule that is responsible for carrying oxygen to all the tissues of the body from the lungs. Normal human hemoglobin is a tetramer formed by two pairs of globin chain attached to heme. There are four types of globin chain (α, β, δ, and γ) chains. Normal adult hemoglobin consists of two α and two β chains (α2β2). Hemoglobin A2(α2δ2) is a minor component which is less than 3.3% and less than 1% is HbF (α2γ2)
SCD occurs when there is a point mutation in the sixth position of globin chain of hemoglobin where glutamic acid is replaced by valine from the N terminal end of the chain. Whenever there is hypoxia and stress the β-globin chain promotes the non-covalent polymerization of hemoglobin, which distorts red blood cells into a sickle shape and decreases their elasticity. These cells fail to return to normal shape when normal oxygen tension is restored. As a consequence, these sickle cells are unable to deform as they pass through narrow capillaries, leading to vessel occlusion and ischemia.
| Complications in Sickle Cell Disease|| |
Acute chest syndrome
Acute chest syndrome usually refers to acute lung injury syndrome. Usually, patients present with chest pain, tachycardia, tachypnea, cough fever, and hypoxemia.,
Radiological finding shows consolidation of Alveoli. Prevalence is approximately 29%.
Restrictive lung disease
Restrictive lung disease in SCD patients is a complication of acute chest syndrome. Radiological analysis shows area of fibrosis at the basal areas of the lungs.
Diagnosis can be confirmed by spirometry where FEV1/FVC is normal or mildly raised. The development of advanced chronic lung disease in patients with SCD has been called sickle cell chronic lung disease.
The prevalence of asthma/reactive airway disease appears to be the same in SCD patients within pediatric age group (though in adult the percentage is less).
Studies have suggested the association between ACS and asthma in SCD patients as in asthma due to ventilation-perfusion mismatched there will be increased chances of sickling of RBCs.
PH is an increasingly recognized common complication of SCD and other hereditary or acquired hemolytic anemias. The associated mortality rate is very high. Each increase of 10 mm Hg in mPAP is associated with a 1.7-fold increase in the rate of death of SCD patient. Diagnosis of PH is confirmed by using Doppler echocardiography. An elevated pulmonary artery systolic pressure calculated from the TRV of greater than 2.5 m/s was prospectively defined as abnormal.
Anemia present as pallor, easy fatigability, irritability, loss of appetite, and poor growth.
Young patients with SCD can present with extremely life-threatening infection like pneumonia, sepsis, meningitis, and osteomyelitis.
Body organ damage and failure
All organs are vulnerable, including the kidneys, liver, spleen, heart, and eyes, for tissue damage due to deprivation of blood and its nutrients and of oxygen due to repetitive plugging of blood vessels by sickle cells.
Stroke is one of the most catastrophic and frequent medical problem encountered in SCD.
Hand foot syndrome
Commonly encountered in patients of pediatric age group.
Bilirubin, which is a breakdown product of RBCs, causes gallstones which on impaction of gallbladder duct causes cholecystitis and if untreated may lead to life-threatening condition like sepsis. The presenting symptoms are similar to jaundice.
More commonly seen in males aged between 10 and 50. Typically, they are open elevated sores with surrounding skin redness and thinning, located within patches of hyperpigmentation. Most commonly seen on ankle and can be single or multiple.
It commonly involves the hip joint and patients present with painful limbs. Other vulnerable joints are the shoulders.
Renal and bladder involvement
Kidney and bladder infections are quite common in SCD. Patients present with painful and frequent micturation, incontinence, fever, lower abdominal pain, and backache. Due to repetitive clogging of the blood vessels of the kidneys renal failure can be developed.
Priapism and impotence
Men with sickle cell anemia may present with priapism. Overtime, priapism can damage the penis and lead to impotence.
Eye involvement is the sequlee of microvascular complication that usually affects the retina but rarely causes blindness.

High Alert Issued As Power Grids Are pounded By solar Storms With More On The Way
Power grids across North America and Europe have been on high alert all week as two massive solar storms have battered Earth, threatening to disrupt electricity supplies to millions of homes and businesses.
On Monday, PJM Interconnection, which coordinates power to 61 million people across 13 US states and the District of Columbia, alerted generators and transmission companies as the first storm was upgraded from “strong” to “severe” by the US government’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) in Boulder, Colorado.
Controllers across the United States and Canada have been issuing similar warnings and preparing to stabilize their grids as unusually strong electromagnetic radiation emitted from the sun interacts with the Earth’s own magnetic field and induces freak currents across the electricity transmission network.
A second storm is set to peak around 23:00 GMT on Wednesday, when highly charged particles which erupted from the surface of the Sun on Monday are forecast to reach Earth, according to the SWPC.
Grid controllers aim to prevent a repeat of the events of the night of March 13-14, 1989, when a geomagnetic storm induced severe currents on high voltage power lines near the US-Canadian border and created a cascading failure which knocked out the entire Hydro-Quebec power grid in just 92 seconds.
Relays automatically disconnected transmission lines and generation units to protect the equipment from serious damage and power was restored to 83 percent of affected customers within nine hours of the system’s collapse.
But two large generator step-up transformers were damaged by excessive voltage in the 1989 storm. The threat to large high-voltage transformers worries industry executives and regulators because networks carry only a limited stock of spares and it could take months to manufacture, deliver and install replacements.
Geomagnetic disturbances are listed alongside cyber and physical attacks, pandemics and the electromagnetic pulse from the high-altitude detonation of a large nuclear weapon as high impact low frequency risks to the power network by the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.
Damage from the 1989 solar storm was largely confined to the Hydro Quebec network but bigger storms in 1921 and 1859 caused extensive damage to telegraph networks across the United States and Europe.
Policymakers are concerned that if and when such storms are repeated the impact could be much worse given how central electricity has become to the modern economy.
The fear is that if an extreme storm damaged dozens or even hundreds of high-voltage transformers over a large area it would not be possible to replace them all quickly.
In the United States, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission has ordered the industry to develop operating procedures to mitigate the impact of geomagnetic disturbances and test equipment to ensure it can handle the sort of currents which could be unleashed by a major storm.
There is uncertainty about just how much damage even a severe solar storm would do to high-voltage transformers. Some in the industry argue most modern transformers could survive the excess current flows and heating likely to be associated even with a 1-in-100 year storm.
Nonetheless, major modelling exercises are underway across North America to assess how a storm might affect the networks and to identity transformers most at risk.
In the meantime, power networks have issued their control room staff with operating procedures to follow in the event of a storm warning to reduce the risks of a catastrophic failure.
The Space Weather Prediction Center, part of the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, uses a series of satellites between the Sun and the Earth to identify eruptions and estimate the timing and severity of storms arriving on Earth.
Warnings are flashed electronically to grid controllers, transmission operators and power generators around the world to enable them to ready their systems as much as possible to withstand abnormal currents.
Guidance issued to grid controllers authorises them to take emergency measures to reduce the pressure on the network to enable it to deal with the extra demands imposed by a solar storm.
These include calling up additional generation, reducing loading on the system, and instructing transmission companies to discontinue maintenance and bring out-of-service lines back into full operation.
Grid operators are still conducting the studies required by regulators into how their networks would cope with a really severe storm and identifying vulnerabilities; in the meantime the onus falls to control rooms to render their networks as stable as possible and try to ride out the storm.

Calgary police are warning people to protect themselves against break and enters, saying warm weather normally leads to an increase in cases.
According to police, residential break and enters typically spike by 20 per cent in summer months.
With the recent hot weather Calgary has been experiencing, Sgt. Doug Crippen said more people are opening windows and doors of their homes, leaving them more vulnerable.
“People are out in their yards, they’re leaving stuff out and they’re leaving doors open – that type of stuff,” Crippen explained. “In many cases, simply locking up and taking the opportunity away from offenders is enough to stop the crime.”
Police are asking people to help reduce the potential for crimes of opportunity by following their so-called 9 p.m. Routine.
“The routine is simple,” police said in a Thursday news release. “Every night before going to bed we want all citizens to get in the habit of double-checking that their vehicles, property and residence are secure.”
The 9 p.m. Routine was adopted by the Calgary Police Service after a similar campaign in Florida in 2018. It recommends:
- Removing valuables from vehicles
- Ensuring vehicles are locked with windows closed and, if possible, parked in a garage
- Closing garage doors and windows
- Locking any doors leading into a garage, including those from the house into a garage
- Checking that all house doors – front, back, side and garage – are locked
- Ensuring all windows are shut
- Turning on an exterior light
Nighttime break and enters increasing amid COVID-19
Police said while they have noticed a general decrease in daytime break and enters in Calgary amid the COVID-19 pandemic, they have observed an uptick in nighttime break and enters.
“Now that some pandemic restrictions have been relaxed, investigators are seeing a recent increase from May to June, with approximately 150 reported nighttime break and enters into detached garages to just over 200 incidents, respectively,” police said in a news release.
“One thing that we do see that is common to a lot of our investigations…Is there is a drug component to it,” Crippen explained. “Typically, addictions are fuelling a lot of the behaviours.
“They need to get property, or things that they can trade or sell, to take care of their addictions.” | <urn:uuid:d2d0e5d7-26f1-48df-99d7-a0f46e42b435> | CC-MAIN-2022-33 | https://globalnews.ca/news/7235443/calgary-break-and-enters-summer-2020/ | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2022-33/segments/1659882573760.75/warc/CC-MAIN-20220819191655-20220819221655-00665.warc.gz | en | 0.961401 | 515 | 1.640625 | 2 |

@if (auth()->check()) // logic if user is authenticated @else // logic otherwise @endif
The code above shows how to verify authenticated users using the
auth()method returns the authenticated users in your application.
check()method is used to verify that the current user has been authenticated.
Although the above method is suitable for most purposes, a shorter way that Laravel offers is to use the
@endauth directives. This is shown below:
@auth // logic goes here @endauth
@auth directive determines if a user has been authenticated.
You can place any code snippet you want inside the
@endauth directives to run or display for a particular authenticated user. Since the
@endauth is like a closing tag for the
@auth directives, you can wrap the logic between the
endauth directives without needing to use the

A Note on Language
When talking about disabilities, it’s useful to first establish respectful language and terms. This is not always clear-cut and there are debates about the right language to use. Here are some guidelines based on this article by Alex Kapitan:
- First and most importantly, different people have different preferences on how they would like to be called. Always respect an individual’s preference for how they would label themselves.
- Some people prefer person-first language, which de-centers the disability or diagnosis. For example, you would say “person with a disability” so that your language reflects them as a whole person, and not defined exclusively by their disability.
- In more recent years, some disabled activists and communities have pushed back on person-first language, because they feel it attempts to divorce their disability from their identity. For these people, their disability is intrinsic to who they are, and they want to prioritize their disability in how they refer to themselves. For these people, it is preferable to say “disabled person” or “autistic person”; this is called identity-first language.
- Most important in this discussion is to honor each individual, and to be transparent about terms and terminology.
- Throughout this page and YCD materials, we have chosen to use identity-first language based on the guidance and perspective of activist Lydia X.Z. Brown and others, but we recognize and respect this approach does not work for all disabled people.
- There are 13 categories of disability in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and within each of these categories are a large number of different disabilities. It’s critical to remember the wide diversity and range of disabilities at all times, and avoid stereotypes or oversimplication.
- Invisible disability: disabilities not readily visible when you see or meet a person, for example debilitating pain, fatigue, dizziness, cognitive dysfunctions, brain injuries, learning differences and mental health disorders, as well as hearing and vision impairments. (Invisible Disabilities Association)
- Neurodiversity: the idea that there is no single, perfect ideal of what a human mind or brain should be: that, on the contrary, the existence of diversity of minds and brains is necessary for human societies to flourish. (Patrick Dwyer)
- Neurodivergent: having a brain that functions in ways that diverge significantly from the dominant societal standards of “normal.” (Dr. Nick Walker)
- Neurotypical: having a style of neurocognitive functioning that falls within the dominant societal standards of “normal.” (Dr. Nick Walker)
- Ableism: systematic, institutional devaluing of bodies and minds deemed deviant, abnormal, defective, subhuman, less than. (Lydia X.Z. Brown)
- Disability justice: challenges the idea that our worth as individuals has to do with our ability to perform as productive members of society. It insists that our worth is inherent and tied to the liberation of all beings. (Nomy Lamm)
How Ableism Shows Up in Today’s World
- Ableist language is used by many of us every day, often without realizing it: words like lame, r*t*rded, crazy, psycho, and crippled are just a few examples of ableist terms that should not be used. For more examples and alternative language suggestions, check out this list of ableist language from Lydia X.Z. Brown.
- When interacting with disabled people, we sometimes ignore the disabled person’s ability to communicate or make their own decisions. Examples include looking at an ASL interpreter instead of the Deaf person who is signing to you, pushing someone in their wheelchair without them asking, or directing questions to a parent or assistant instead of the disabled person themselves. (YO! Youth Organizing – Disabled & Proud)
- When engaging disabled youth in conversations, they are often asked only about their disability, rather than being seen as complex people with multiple aspects to their identity (race, gender, sexuality, and more).
- Disabled youth are often not taught in the same classrooms as their peers, and may be segregated in a different part of a school building. Curriculum rarely includes mention or inclusion of disabled people, whether in books, videos or elsewhere.
- When disabled people are the focus of a movie or book, it is often to provide inspiration to the reader or viewer, rather than building true understanding that values the disabled person. This is sometimes referred to as “inspiration porn.” Learn more about inspiration porn from activist Stella Young in her TED talk.
- Another genre of disabled movies and books focuses their attention on the challenges of a companion, sibling, parent or helper of disabled people, and then celebrates their success for dealing with the disabled person. These films and books encourage and celebrate “saviorism” of the people who cope with disabled people. Learn more about the harm media can perpetuate on disabled people from this interview with activist Alice Wong.
Local Actions to Support and Include Disabled Youth
Here are just a few ideas of ways students can take action locally to advance disability justice and support disabled youth in your school or community:
- Some of our most important work is on ourselves. Reflect on ableist language that you carry in your vocabulary, and make a daily effort to remove ableist terms from the way you speak. When others use ableist language around you, don’t be overly harsh or critical; instead, provide education and real-world scenarios on why the language is offensive, and suggest alternatives.
- Are disabled students segregated in a different part of your school so they are out of sight for most students? Does your school provide opportunities for disabled youth to interact and build connections with their peers? Conduct a project with disabled students and administration to reimagine how disabled students can be more fully included in your school’s campus, classroom and curriculum. Ensure any effort centers the voices and ideas of disabled students.
- Are “special education” classes receiving the same funding, supplies, books, and support as typical courses in your school? Often these programs are underfunded, and the materials used to teach these courses assume limits from the students enrolled. Learn about how one school district in California revamped their approach to special education. After doing some local investigation, work with disabled students, teachers and administration to support mainstreaming of special education students.
- Are disabled students welcome and included in clubs and extracurricular activities at your school? If they are welcome but not participating, are there barriers preventing their attendance, such as the bus schedule or accessibility of the meeting space? Look for barriers that may prevent disabled youth from joining in these important activities and conversations, and then work to remove those barriers, centering the disabled voices throughout the process.
- One disability that is significantly misunderstood and misrepresented today is autism. Consider inviting an autistic person to join your club or class to share more about their experiences, and to learn about the neurodiversity movement. Be cautious about which organizations you approach for help; there are many autism-focused orgs that are not led by autistic people, and are actively doing harm to the autistic community. Ensure you are hearing a perspective that centers the autistic person. The hashtag #actuallyautistic on social media and elsewhere can help in this effort.

A few people had developed paralysis-like symptoms, but no paralysis, after vaccination with Covid-19, the Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration confirmed Wednesday.
Apisamai Srirangson, the CCSA’s spokeswoman, acknowledged the report that seven people were suspected of partial paralysis after receiving a dose of Sinovac.
The Ministry of Health has investigated the cases. The first finding was that the people “developed symptoms that are not partial paralysis, but had symptoms similar to partial paralysis, as known in stroke, including muscle weakness and numbness,” she said.
“All were recovered this morning,” she said.
The ministry’s investigation was conducted by a panel of experienced physicians and brain pathologists.
“Many people follow the advice of academics, educators and doctors we respect. However, reports must be verified and people must consider the information from all sources, ”said Dr. Apisamai.
On Tuesday, Dr. Thiravat Hemachudha, director of the Health Science Center of Emerging Diseases at Chulalongkorn University Medical School, posted on Facebook that seven people suffered partial paralysis after receiving the Sinovac vaccine.
Six of them were in Rayong and one in Queen Savang Vadhana Memorial Hospital in Sri Racha District of Chon Buri. he said.
Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Taweesap Siraprapasiri, a specialist with the Department of Disease Control, referred to six people he said had unwanted symptoms in Rayong.
Five of them were medical or health officials, and the other a hospital worker. According to Dr. Taweesap, the six all received an injection of CoronaVac from vaccine lot number J202103001 between April 5 and 9 and showed unwanted symptoms 5 to 30 minutes after inoculation.
They experienced numbness on one side of their body. Five of them also suffered from limb muscle weakness.
One of them had cancer, another had high cholesterol and was obese, and four were on birth control pills.
Prof Kulkanya Chokephaibulkit from Siriraj Hospital Medical School at Mahidol University said the six had different degrees of neural symptoms and made a full recovery within 1-3 days.
“Someone developed symptoms of a stroke, but we still cannot determine what caused it. An investigation, including MRI scans, found nothing suspicious. Most of them are not overly old women who are not normally at risk for a stroke, ”she said. .
“We think the symptoms were related to the inoculation because they occurred 5-10 minutes after the injection.”
An investigation panel did not find any irregularities in the batch of the vaccine. About 500,000 doses from the batch had already been distributed and given to more than 300,000 people to date.

“The committee decided that the vaccine can be used in this batch because the benefits outweigh the side effects, which were temporary,” concluded Professor Kulkanya.

“Speaking in tongues”? It may sound like gobbledygook, but some people think they are speaking in the language of angels, whatever that is. Are they right?
The last century (give or take a couple of decades) saw the birth of a new movement within Evangelicalism. The Pentecostal phenomenon is now ubiquitous in world Christianity, including within the mainstream churches (where it is more often called a “charismatic renewal,” with the term “Pentecostal” used to describe denominations marked by charismatic practice and theology). I have commented on some aspects of the movement before, in particular its belief in the “baptism in the Holy Spirit.” I’m going to write a couple of articles on the distinctive Pentecostal / charismatic phenomenon of “speaking in tongues,” regarded with suspicion by some within the wider church, with amusement by those outside, but widely viewed as evidence of the work of the Holy Spirit by insiders. It seems all the more appropriate that I should publish the first instalment in this series today, on Pentecost Sunday!
There’s a huge amount that I could say, but I want to keep some focus rather than follow-up every issue. I’m going to proceed like this. First, in this article I’ll offer some very scant historical comments and take the first (small) step into the biblical material, beginning with Paul’s reference to speaking with the tongues of “men and angels” in his first letter to the Corinthians, chapter thirteen. Then in part two I’ll move on to what Paul has to say in chapter fourteen about the gifts of the Holy Spirit as used in public worship, and lastly I’ll move to the book of Acts (which written later than Paul’s letters, so we are working in the order of writing) and offer some theological comments, hopefully bringing an overall biblical perspective to the significance of “tongues” as a phenomenon in the New Testament.
In the early twentieth century a new phrase entered the Christian vocabulary: “speaking in tongues.” Outside of Christian circles, modern English usage would have prevailed and people would more likely have used the word “languages.” However, “speaking in languages” doesn’t sound particularly interesting – and certainly not mysterious. People know what that is, so anybody who came along and said that there was a new phenomenon of “speaking in languages,” or that speaking in languages was some sort of deep spiritual experience, would not have gained much attention. However, Christians in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century were in a somewhat different position. In normal life they used the latest form of English, but in church life – and especially in their reading of the Bible – an older English prevailed, namely the English used in the King James Bible (or versions closely based on it), and indeed the expressions used by the writers of the Bible in the ancient world. And so, while in everyday life they used the word “language,” when reading from the Bible they used the word “tongue,” more common in a time before ours, to refer to a language. While “speaking in languages” does not sound particularly interesting, “speaking in tongues” sounds a little more removed from normal life – a bit more mysterious, perhaps. I take the view (doubtless a very unpopular view with some Christians) that if Bibles had always ruthlessly been kept up to date in their usage of English, the modern Pentecostal / charismatic phenomenon of “speaking in tongues” would never have arisen. Who would have looked at biblical references to people speaking in “languages” and thought “Interesting, I wonder what that is. Am I missing out”? On the contrary, the phenomenon sounds fairly ordinary. But as everyday English references to people speaking in the Chinese tongue or the Swahili tongue disappeared, the phrase “speaking in tongues” was able to take on a new meaning. Now, when a person heard that there was a sort of spiritual phenomenon called “speaking in tongues,” the reaction was along the lines of “that sounds different, what is it?” In short then, part of what enabled the Pentecostal understanding of “speaking in tongues” to get off the ground in the modern world was the fact that language changes, and what was once a mundane turn of phrase now sounds more arcane.
If you ask a number of Christians what they mean by “speaking in tongues,” you’ll get a number of answers (by which I mean a number greater than 1). However, given my own experience – first as a young teen observing the Catholic charismatic renewal, later within Pentecostal churches as a member and my experiences since then with many Christians who subscribe to Pentecostal theology (as well as giving the issue some coverage in academic study), I’m going to take a risk and offer a broad definition of speaking in tongues as that phenomenon occurs today in Pentecostal churches and charismatic movements: “Speaking in tongues” is taken here to mean miraculously speaking in a language that you have never learned and do not understand. That language is taken to be a gift given by the Holy Spirit, a language whose main purpose (in practice in Pentecostal churches) is to express yourself to God in a way more perfect than your own naturally learned language. The language is, as a rule, incomprehensible to all listeners and sounds like gibberish.1 Here is a relatively neutral short news story about people speaking in tongues, and based on my own experience I would describe these examples as fairly typical of what takes place in many charismatic settings:
Some things are obvious even at first glance: These people have no idea what they are saying, they have no idea what the other speakers are saying and you have no idea what they are saying. Indeed, you cannot tell by listening to them that they are saying anything at all.
Doesn’t the fact that nobody can tell that anything is being said suggest that nothing is being said? These aren’t really languages at all, are they? Can’t we all plainly hear that? I think the answer is “yes,” but this series is about biblical exegesis. Here is where an important answer is given on behalf of those who speak in tongues, an answer that goes to the very heart of what speaking in tongues amounts to. “True,” our tongues-speaking brother or sister may say, “when we speak in tongues it may sound like gibberish. That’s because it’s not a human language. It’s a heavenly language that we couldn’t possibly understand. See, look: St Paul refers to speaking in tongues as speaking of the tongues of angels in 1 Corinthians 13.” So that comeback is what sends us to our first piece of biblical interpretation.
The thought that “tongues” is a heavenly or angelic language finds expression in many Pentecostal authors. Gordon Fee described the Corinthians’ worship as a place where “all spoke in tongues, the language of angels.”2 You can see right away the transition from biblical terms to Pentecostal terms. In Scripture, glossai (tongues) is a plural term to refer to multiple languages, but as soon as Fee talks about the phenomenon, “tongues” is spoken of as though there were a language called “tongues.” Many writers go even further, using the recently coined but glossolalia, a Greek word meaning speech in tongues. The New Testament contains no such special word for speaking in tongues, and using the word can misleadingly suggest otherwise.
But now to the text. In context, Paul has a major problem with the behaviour of the Corinthians. The way that they are conducting their worship is inconsistent with love. In particular, one of the ways that they have gotten things wrong is in their beliefs and practices surrounding the speaking in other languages (or “tongues” as we might have said in a bygone era). He has several things to say in correcting them (and because he is correcting them and disagrees with them, we can never assume that when Paul describes what people are doing in worship here, he is telling the reader what the gifts of the spirit are really like!). In 1 Corinthians 13, he is correcting them by trying to explain that love is the real measure of spirituality. Love is greater than all of the gifts that the Corinthians think they have. it is in 1 Corinthians 13 that we find that famous litany of love, repeated at so many weddings: Love is patient. Love is kind, etc. But right before that, Paul compares the value of love to the value of a few of the gifts (probably the gifts that the Corinthians were misunderstanding or misusing). Here’s what he wrote in verses 1-3:
I may speak in different languages of people or even angels. But if I do not have love, I am only a noisy bell or a crashing cymbal. I may have the gift of prophecy. I may understand all the secret things of God and have all knowledge, and I may have faith so great I can move mountains. But even with all these things, if I do not have love, then I am nothing. I may give away everything I have, and I may even give my body as an offering to be burned. But I gain nothing if I do not have love.3
This is the only passage in the New Testament where there is any innuendo that glossai or languages/tongues spoken by humans might be those of angels. The first thing to observe about it is that this particular passage is not a teaching about what glossai or any of the gifts of the Spirit are actually like. The purpose of this passage is to subordinate those gifts to the practice of acting in love. Tongues are only mentioned in passing as an example.
But in this brief reference, is Pauline giving us a window into his view on tongues, a view that he never sets out, where the gift of languages might really amount to speaking in the language of angels? Gordon Fee thinks so. He draws attention to a little-known passage in the Testament of Job, as follows:
There is some evidence from Jewish sources that the angels were believed to have their own heavenly language (or dialects) and that by means of the “Spirit” one could speak these dialects. Thus in the Testament of Job 48-50 Job’s three daughters are given “charismatic sashes”; when these were put on they allowed Hemera, for example, to speak “ecstatically in the angelic dialect, sending up a hymn to God with the hymnic style of the angels. And as she spoke ecstatically, she allowed ‘The Spirit’ to be inscribed on her garment.”4
This is one reason why Fee maintains that “That the Corinthians at least, and probably Paul, thought of tongues as the language(s) of angels seems highly likely.” Setting aside what the Corinthians may have thought (because remember, they had gotten their view of the gifts of the Spirit pretty messed up, which is why Paul had to write these things in the first place), Fee’s argument from the Testament of Job seems fairly weak for two reasons.
In the first place, it may well be that the passage to which Fee alludes was written later than Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. Although we can’t be certain when The Testament of Job (http://www.earlyjewishwritings.com/testjob.html) was written, dates range from within the first century BC to the first century AD (the majority of scholars appear to favour the latter), quite possibly by a Jewish sect in Egypt. In all likelihood, Paul had never read this document.
Secondly, it is ridiculous to imagine that anyone actually took this passage to be a true historical account. Angels are rarely encountered in Scripture, but when they are, they are understood in the language of the hearer (an angel, after all, is a messenger). Moreover, in the account of the daughters, they are said to leave their bodies and ascend into heaven, something nobody could observe.5 Of course Fee’s point is not that the event really occurred but only that this is what some people at the time believed. But this is not enough to make his case in a way that is likely to satisfy an Evangelical. Some people somewhere at the time may have believed this. But people at the time believed all sorts of crazy things.
Thirdly – and this is the main point I want to make about 1 Corinthians 13, even if some people believed that the angels had their own language and even if Paul knew about them and even if he agreed with them – something that we know nothing about (phew, just getting past the hurdle of all the ifs is hard work!), St Paul simply does not say here that he speaks in the languages of angels. On the contrary, he uses three hypothetical scenarios: Even if I speak in the languages of men and angels, even “if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge” (this is the literal wording, with no “if” in between prophetic powers and the understanding of mysteries), “if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains,” “if I give away all I have,” and “if I give up my body to be burned.”
Now here is the point: Paul did none of these things. In fact the rhetorical nature of Paul’s tactic here is to set up ridiculous scenarios describing actions that he either couldn’t possibly perform or never had performed, and then saying – but even if I could or did, it wouldn’t mean anything if I didn’t have love. Paul did not have prophetic powers to understand every mystery. Paul did not have faith so as to move mountains. Paul did not give away everything he had (he even had the audacity to ask Timothy to bring him his cloak, books and parchments). Paul did not give up his body to be burned (!), and neither did he speak in the languages of men and angels.
As we will see when I discuss the use of languages in 1 Corinthians 14, what has happened in the handling of the “tongues of men and angels” in 1 Corinthians 13 has been a mistake where people pick up the language that Paul is using to rebuke and correct the Corinthians, and interpret it as though this is Paul’s description of the way things really are – when that was never the purpose of this language at all. Whatever the Corinthians might have believed about speaking in other languages, Paul, in his response to their antics, certainly does not tell them that speaking in languages as a divine gift amounts to speaking in the languages of angels.

Listen to this post
You go shopping: you’re looking for a gift. A salesperson, trying to determine what merchandise to show you, asks: “How much do you want to spend?”, and you say: “Around $300”. Therefore, he shows you an item, and you eventually leave, because you just started shopping and want to check a couple of other stores. At the next store, the salesperson asks a few questions to get an idea of what the perfect gift would be and immediately shows you a $500 item. You love it. You hesitate. You try to remember how much your balance is on your only credit card. You cringe, but you love it. You buy it.
Does this scenario sound familiar? We’ve all stretched ourselves a bit for something we’ve wanted. We start with an idea of what we feel is a reasonable amount to spend when we begin shopping for anything. That is until we happen upon an item that’s beyond that reasonable amount, and we go for it. Your customers are no different.
Yet, many salespeople limit the potential amount of their sales by asking customers how much they want to spend too early in their presentations. When a customer says she wants to spend $300, you’re trapped. If you show a $500 item, you may be perceived as pushy. After all, the customer just said she wanted to spend $300. So eliminate that question from your probing vocabulary. Listen to your customers, evaluate their reactions and sell the best merchandise you can. The law of gravity suggests that it is always easier to come down in price than to push the customer up in price.
Your customer may be willing to stretch their budget for purchase if given the opportunity to do so. Don’t take that opportunity away from them.

Eau de Vie, French for “water of life,” is an unaged brandy that can be made from a wide variety of fruits. Commonly used are orchard fruits including apples, pears, plums, cherries, and blackberries. Grapes may be used, but these spirits are usually considered brandies. Eau de Vie are often colorless, with a mellow but unmistakable aroma and flavor of the fruit.

Canadian Criminal Procedure and Practice/Pre-Trial Matters/Peace Bonds
A Peace Bond is a form of recognizance that a judge can order at the request of either Crown or Defence, or on the Court's own motion. The Peace Bond lasts for up to 12 months and may include conditions such as requiring the accused to "keeping the peace"; to refrain from contact or communication with a named party; not to possess any weapons or ammunition.
The Peace Bond can be ordered at any point before or during the trial.
The peace bond traces back to the English common law as a form of "preventative justice". It "empowers justices to place a person under bond where it appears the person may be a threat to peace, regardless of the fact the person has committed no offence."
The common law peace bond still exists. It is not a criminal punishment that is extinguished by s. 9 of the Criminal Code and is affirmed by section 8(2)
- Stevenson v. Saskatchewan (Minister of Justice), 61 Sask.R.91 (Q.B.)
see also Mackenzie v. Martin, 1954 CanLII 10 (SCC), S.C.R. 361 at p.370
- 8.(2) The criminal law of England that was in force in a province immediately before April 1, 1955 continues in force in the province except as altered, varied, modified or affected by this Act or any other Act of the Parliament of Canada.
Sureties to Keep the Peace
Where injury or damage feared
