In a full of memorable performances, Tina Fey's turn as Ms. Norbury, the calculus teacher, stood out. Maybe that's because Tina Fey also wrote the movie's script!
List - Overdue Finds Episode 68 - The Best of Halloween
Overdue_Finds Oct 19, 2020
Many movies use a Halloween party to show when a character is considered an outsider. Cady's new "friends" neglect to tell her what Halloween is like at their high school, and fittingly, the results a little horrifying.

Cady is in over her head when she joins the "Plastics"—a group of popular mean girls. Written by Tina Fey, this teen comedy is infinitely quotable.

I think we have progressed enough as a society for me to say this; Mean Girls is one of the best comedies of all time. The social critiques still hold up, and it's truly amusing to see how many teen comedies in recent years have tried to replicate Fey's writing style here.

A great conversation starter for older tweens and teens, plus it’s totally entertaining and hilarious.
greatflicks Jun 14, 2019
This was clearly girls movie and one most guys would call a chick flick. Girl friend found some humor in it and was encourging me to keep watching this worthless flick, so I did. To me this was a strong two on the rating scale. However it is obvious to me by the other high ratings and strong comments I just did not get it, went right over my head. Most men will avoid, however certain types may find it entertaining. So give it a try what have you to loose other than a couple hours.
iloveseaotters May 24, 2019
There's something about this movie that I can't pull myself away from. It's not great and it comes across as a really lame film about girls getting revenge on each other. It's totally far-fetched and borderline ridiculous. But I like it. There are some very funny moments and it's not loaded down with sex and swearing. Lindsay Lohan is actually really good in this, as are the other girls. The students actually look like high school students, which is rare these days, when thirty-year olds are passed off as high schoolers. I guess you could call this a guilty pleasure of mine, because I find myself watching it whenever it comes on TV. Definitely a good movie to watch if you are a fan of Lindsay Lohan. Also stars Tina Fey and Tim Meadows.
TEENREVIEWBOARD Jul 03, 2018
Mean Girls is a teen comedy released in 2004 that still in the present day has remained to be an iconic and memorable film. From the popular jocks to the quiet emo kids, this movie has all the classic high school clichés, though admittedly most being unrealistic today. Some jokes hit, some just plain cheesy and coming off as trying too hard for me personally. I think the popularity of the movie revolves around its more lacklustre parts, than what's actually enjoyable about it. My favourite character was definitely Damian. Overall enjoyable, I can see why it is a fan favourite. 4 Stars
@Ruby_Tuesday of the Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board
Cady Heron is a teenage girl who has been homeschooled in Africa, and then she moves to New York, to go to a public high school. She decides to friend a group called “the Plastics” and doesn’t expect war when she starts to like the most popular girl in schools ex-boyfriend. I absolutely love this movie and its one of my favourite comedies. This movie can be watched countless times and it never gets boring. If you’re ever in a need for a laugh make sure to watch this movie, and you’ll be happy in no time. This is kind of a chick flick so some guys may not enjoy as much. Some parts of high school and things are exaggerated but it’s still a really good movie. I rate this movie a 4/5.
@Khutoria of the Teen Review Board at the Hamilton Public Library
I rate Mean Girls a definite 5/5. This movie is amazing for all audiences, but specifically teenagers. It looks at common issues, but also has a funny side that makes the movie entertaining. The subtle comedy throughout is the basis of the film and it engages you to keep watching. The mean popular group and the drama in the movie is quite relatable to many teenagers who are in high school, but not to the degree that is shown of course. The film exaggerates characters and stereotypes which takes a very familiar/common character and makes them unique. However, the film uses some offensive language towards others, women especially. Because of that, I would recommend that the movie is watched by individuals 13+ with parental permission.
@TheBookkeeper of The Hamilton Public Library's Teen Review Board
Mean Girls clearly is a movie targeted towards the female audience, although I know some men who actually genuinely enjoyed it. This movie is full of that classic stereotypical teenage girl in high school with the jocks, cool cheerleaders and unpopular kids. Aside from this, the movie is actually very entertaining. I find it really cheesy and I guess that’s what is really entertaining about it. I love Regina George’s Burn Book and it has got to be my favourite part of the movie! The actors played their roles spot on and it was a really well done movie overall. I would definitely recommend this to my friends and it gets a 4 out of 5 star rating from me.

Lindsey Lohan at her former balanced self (before the drugs, family opera, etc.) does a good job playing a home-schooled geek dropped into a vicious clique of hot girls. She turns her back on the offbeat artists and sharpens her own claws as the popular girls battle for hot supremacy in the narrow confines of high school. Dismaying to hear the self-internalized misogyny as the girls name call each other with "slut" and "whore". Tina Fey plays peacemaker in a little too glib of an ending.

VERY GOOD 2004 comedic plus glimpse into contemporary high school drama. No doubt high schoolers interact quite a bit different post 2000 than we did half a century before and it made for an interesting view for older me.

Never saw when it originally came out but a lot better than I thought would be! Typical ehh high school plot, but great casting, dialogue, cut/imaginative scenes (not sure what that style is called but i.e. the school being like the African range)

What are the average transaction propagation times in Ethereum for reaching 50% and 95% of nodes?
What are the average transaction propagation times in Ethereum for reaching 50% and 95% of nodes? That is, once a transaction is generated on a given node, how long does it take on average to reach 50% and 95% of nodes in the Ethereum network?
Vitalik mentions a paper presenting block propagation statistics for Bitcoin: https://blog.ethereum.org/2014/07/11/toward-a-12-second-block-time/
"According to a 2013 paper from Decker and Wattenhofer in Zurich, once a miner produces a block on average it takes 6.5 seconds for the block to reach 50% of nodes, 40 seconds for it to reach 95% of nodes and the mean delay is 12.6 seconds."
It would be interesting to have similar statistics for Ethereum transaction propagation times.
statistics transaction-propagation
Possible duplicate of What's the transaction-throughput on Ethereum (how fast the nodes can replicate transactions, not transactions per second) – Malone Nov 14 '17 at 13:29
It doesn't seems to be the same question! This one is about propagation and theother is about troughput, both are somewhat related but are not the same. – Ismael Nov 15 '17 at 15:18
If every node is connected to 100 other nodes, even with a large amount of overlap -- say, essentially, you're only connected to 20 nodes that are distinct from your "near neighbours", and there is one node per person on the planet, we can make some assumptions about efficient routing and find you'd never have to be more than 8 hops away from the required validator cluster. If we assume the average packet has to propagate across North America (some will be closer, some will be farther), then that's around a half-second propagation delay. If we have a well-known set of validators, we can actually directly connect to one of the ones involved in your transaction, as with a client-server architecture.
If you have validators on a 1Gbps pipe, you can receive ~100Mbps' worth of transactions in your cluster. That's 2500 transactions per second per shard with a propagation time of the latency between you and one of the shard's nodes + internal shard propagation delays. That's closer to a bit over one trip around the "world", worst-case, or about 400ms.

Katy Perry Is Collaborating with Pokémon
Katy Perry's fascinating late-career moves continue to surprise. Following a performance at Elon Musk's disastrous SpaceX launch, the pop star has now announced a mysterious new collaboration with Pokémon.
It's all pretty confusing and full of marketing speak, but PEOPLE reports that Katy's big Pokémon collab is part of something called "P25 Music," and it will manifest via "surprise global activations throughout the year" for Pokémon's 25th anniversary.
"I love being a part of anything that is playful and is good storytelling and has really good messages to share with the world," Perry told PEOPLE. "Now having a child myself, I understand that it's so important to play. This is a continued extension of who I am."
She added that her visit to Japan's Pokémon Café in 2019 first sparked her interest in the collab. "I was pregnant when I was there actually, little did I know!" she said. "It was amazing. It brought up all these wonderful childhood memories. I've been going to Japan since I was 17 every year and have always really loved everything that's been created there."
As for her favourite Pokémon, she offered a true poseur's answer: "I'm really attached to the hero. I know there are others in the game, but I just found Pikachu to be really cute."
Watch a teaser for the strange Pokémon collab below.

A Ghanaian Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) candidate, Mr. Mawuli Adade, has led a team of Ghanaian researchers to identify a gene responsible for a major cause of inherited deafness in the West African country.
With a population of 30 million, Ghana has 16 schools for the deaf and many individuals with hearing impairment on the street begging for alms.
The field research conducted by a research team from the University of Ghana was approved by the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research Ethical Review Board and the Special Education Unit of the Ghana Education Service.

From inventing toothpaste to being a lover of beer, here are 10 facts about ancient Egypt you didn’t know
The Ghana National Association for the Deaf (GNAD) says approximately 0.4 per cent out of Ghana’s population of almost 29 million is deaf, or 110,625 people; by contrast, the Ghana Statistical Service, reports 211,712 as deaf. Whichever the case is, the numbers deserves to be looked into.
The test subjects were pupils from 11 of Ghana’s 16 schools for the hearing impaired by scientists at the West African Centre for Cell Biology of Infectious Pathogens (WACCBIP) at the university.
About 166 individuals with no family hearing impairment history and 97 families with at least two members living with hearing impairment were identified.
With information derived from the participants, a medical geneticist and an ear, nose and throat (ENT) specialist undertook test while blood samples were taken from all available family members for their DNA.
According to graphic.com.gh: “The researchers looked for mutation (alterations in the structure) of the connexin 26 gene, which was earlier identified in 2001 and linked to 50 per cent or more cases of inherited deafness in the 11 schools for the deaf in Ghana and the Adamorobe village near Aburi, where inherited deafness was estimated above the global average. The scientists looked for the GJB2 and GJB6 variants in the blood samples of the 97 families with the hearing impairment and the 166 single cases identified.”
Hearing Impaired via gnadgh.org
It added: “Although the GJB6 gene, which was found globally, was absent in the Ghanaian cases, the GJB2-R143W gene was found to have accounted for over a quarter of familial hearing impairment cases among the groups that were screened. That suggested that one out of every four families with deafness would have the ‘gene-mistake’.”
It is hoped the discovery will make it possible to offer genetic testing in the country while enabling families know the causative factor for their impairment.
“The findings also indicated a 1.4 per cent carrier frequency rate among 145 healthy Ghanaians who were screened randomly, suggesting that among every 145 Ghanaians, two are likely to carry the defective gene that can be passed on to their children. Known as the Gap junction beta 2 (GJB2) or Connexin 26, the gene directs the production of proteins that make up part of the inner ear. Being recessive, carriers of the gene, who inherit just one defective copy from a parent, have normal hearing. But those with two flawed copies, one from each parent, have hearing loss that can range from moderate to profound,” graphic.com.gh reported.
According to Mr. Adade, the field research revealed genetics was a major contributory factor to hearing impairment in the country adding the carrier rate of GJB2 variants among healthy populations indicated what accounted for an increase in the percentage of GJB2-patients in the country.
To better understand Ghana’s hearing impairment numbers, Mr. Adade is employing next generation sequencing techniques to identify other gene variants, adding, “ultimately, we hope to develop appropriate and cost-effective diagnostic approaches for newborn genetic screening to contribute to the reduction of the burden of the condition in Ghana.”

Tag: Asian American Immigrant Experience
September 14, 2010 September 14, 2010 by Sharon, posted in Asian American Fiction, Asian/ American Studies, Colonialism/ Postcolonialism, Contemporary American Fiction, Geopolitics/ Spatial Theory, Hemispheric Studies, Race and Ethnic Studies, Structural/ Formal Criticism, Transnationalism, Urban Studies
Hsu, Ruth Y. “The Cartography of Justice and Truthful Refractions in Karen Tei Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange.” Transnational Asian American Literature: Sites and Transits. Eds. Shirley Geok-lin Lim, John Blair Gamber, Stephen Hong Sohn, and Gina Valentino. Philadelphia, PA: Temple UP, 2006. 75-99. Print.
Hsu begins her essay with the observation that Karen Tei Yamashita’s work in general “evoke[s] those familiar tropes or landmarks that have been staged in Asian American literature and scholarship,” while de-familiarizing them in new often global, transnational contexts (76). She asserts that the de-familiarization at work in Yamashita’s novels helps to productively distinguish Asian American immigrant experiences from those of the “quintessential American immigrant,” counteracting the reductive homogenization of notions such as the “melting pot.”
In this essay Hsu particularly focuses on the representation of Los Angeles in Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange, emphasizing that the narratives presented are told from the perspective of historically marginalized, racialized characters and directly challenge the dominant white supremacist perspective of many Euro-American narratives about LA. She also explores how Yamashita “appropriat[es] and redeploy[s] hegemonic tropes of cartography and geography in ways that maps Western colonialism” (77). Hsu claims that Tropic of Orange is structured according to the “physics…of quantum theory” (78). She asserts that characters’ motivations and actions “are ultimately mapped along the key principles of chaos…and fractal theories,” where the linearity of cause and effect is broken and severed (78). Hsu suggests that it is difficult to predict or fully know the consequences of an individual character’s decisions as they “affect the world in ever-widening ripples of power and influence” (79). In this respect, she asserts that Yamashita deliberately “challenges readers’ typical understanding and…experiences of time, space, and an orderly universe” (80).
Hsu goes on to describe how colonizers have deployed cartography to impose “their own grids of reality, in both material and symbolic ways” on indigenous land and lifestyle (81). She argues that Western maps place emphasis on the superficial topographical features of a given environment, while many “non-Western thought systems” acknowledge the multiple layers beneath the surface and understand that there are different, various modes of existence not entirely bound to rationality (85). Hsu connects Western cartography to Enlightenment beliefs that the world is fundamentally knowable, which contributes to the colonizing mentality that the land can and should be quantified, controlled, mastered.
She asserts that Tropic of Orange offers a history to counteract the history of Western colonialism, calling attention to how “people of color have predated white settlers and the ways that indigenous peoples continue to play crucial roles on that continent” (87). Hsu points to one scene where Buzzworm studies a map, recognizing its colonialist legacy as an instrument of politicians, urban planners, etc to organize the city along racial and class lines, segregating the rich and the poor and effectively containing potential riots in certain areas. She asserts that beyond the concrete freeways, characters such as Buzzworm and Manzanar recognize that people are and can be connected in other ways (89). Hsu describes how Manzanar, for example, is able to see the city in layers of multiple maps that depict different temporal and spatial realities simultaneously. He sees the past and present, familiar and unfamiliar spaces converging in highly dynamic ways.
Hsu then goes on to describe the two tables of contents Yamashita offers her reader. The first is a more conventional, linear depiction of the plot that suggests the easy, traceable flow of cause and effect. The second, however, is a Hypercontext Grid which “calls up the idea, in chaos and complexity theories, of open systems, or systems not in equilibrium” (92). She accentuates how this table calls attention to the characters within the novel are “propelled by random events,” their lives converging in completely unexpected, uncontrollable ways (93).
Hsu concludes by asserting that Yamashita offers a new “model of human connectivity” based on quantum physics chaos theory (94):
Not only are we connected or related to people we do not ‘know,’ we have, in a sense always known them. Not only are we connected to so-called strangers in an ever-widening matrix of complexity that defies logical, deterministic mapping, one’s actions change perhaps the texture, or the organization, or the meaning of that matrix, at specific locations, which in turn ripple out to change the totality of this nonlinear structure. (94)
Hsu pointedly distinguishes chaos from anarchy, insisting that the characters’ lives are guided by systems of order but that the trajectory of their paths are not always easily predictable. While she never mentions globalization in her essay, I would argue that the material effects of geopolitical relations and the transnational flows of goods and peoples very much precipitate the chaos in Yamashita’s Tropic of Orange.

Grigoriy Valerievich Alfeyev was born on July 24, 1966 in Moscow. From 1972 to 1982 he studied violin, piano and composition at the Moscow Gnessins School and from 1983 to 1986 at the Moscow State Conservatory. From 1984 to 1986 he served in the Soviet military.[1]
Church activity
In January 1987 he entered the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Vilnius, Lithuania, where he was tonsured as a monk on June 19, ordained a deacon on June 21 and ordained a priest on August 19 of the same year.[1]
In 1989 he graduated by correspondence from the Moscow Theological Seminary and in 1991 from the Moscow Theological Academy, with the degree of Master of Theology.
Until 1991 he had also served as a parish priest in Lithuania, including two years as dean of the Annunciation Cathedral in Kaunas.
From 1991 to 1993 he taught Homiletics, Dogmatic Theology, New Testament Studies and Byzantine Greek at the Moscow Theological Academy, St. Tikhon's Orthodox Theological Institute (Moscow, Russia), and St. John the Theologian's Orthodox University.
From 1993 to 1995 he studied at Oxford University (UK) under the supervision of Bishop Kallistos (Ware) of Diokleia. In 1995 he completed his doctoral thesis on St Symeon the New Theologian and Orthodox Tradition and was awarded the degree of Doctor of Philosophy.
From 1995 to 2001 Hilarion Alfeyev served as Secretary for Inter-Christian Affairs of the Department for External Church Relations of the Moscow Patriarchate. He also taught part-time at Smolensk and Kaluga Theological Seminaries (Russia), at St Vladimir's and St Herman's Theological Seminaries (USA), as well as at Cambridge University (UK).
On December 27, 2001, he was elected bishop and on January 14, 2002, consecrated by His Holiness Alexy II, Patriarch of Moscow and all Russia, and 10 other hierarchs. He served as an Assistant Bishop of the Diocese of Sourozh in Great Britain until his nomination, on July 17, 2002, as Head Representative of the Russian Orthodox Church to the European Union in Brussels, Belgium.
On May 7, 2003, he was appointed Bishop of Vienna and Austria, administrator of the Diocese of Budapest and Hungary, in addition to his position in Brussels, which he continues to hold.
On March 31, 2009 he was appointed the Bishop of Volokolamsk, the Vicar to the Patriarch of Moscow, the chairman of the Department of the External Church Relations (the position previously held by Patr. Kirill himself), and a permanent member of the Holy Synod ex officio.
On Pascha Monday, 2009, he was raised to the rank of Archbishop by Patriarch Kyrill during the Divine Liturgy in the Dormition Cathedral in Moscow.
In November 2009, Archbishop Hilarion was named to the Board of Trustees of St. Vladimir's Orthodox Theological Seminary in Crestwood, New York.
On February 1, 2010, he was elevated to the rank of Metropolitan by Patriarch Kyrill.
Metropolitan Hilarion is author of more than 600 publications, including at least ten volumes in English:
Apart from his doctoral degree in philosophy from Oxford, Metropolitan Hilarion also holds a doctorate in theology from St Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in Paris, which was awarded to him in 1999. In February 2005 he was elected a Privat-Dozent of the University of Fribourg (Switzerland).
Musical activity
Metropolitan Hilarion is the author of numerous musical compositions. His St Matthew Passion, grand oratorio for soloists, choir and orchestra, received a standing ovation at its performances at the Great Hall of Moscow Conservatory (March 27, 2007)[2], at the Auditorium Conciliazione in Rome (March 29, 2007)[3], and at St Patrick's Cathedral in Melbourne (September 28, 2007).
Equally well received was his Christmas Oratorio, performed in Washington, Boston and New York (December 18-20, 2007) and later in Moscow (January 7 and 15, 2008), as well as his Stabat Mater, which had its world premiere in January 2012 under the direction of Vladimir Spivakov.
Ecumenical activity
Bishop Hilarion speaks to the Central Committee of the World Council of Churches.
Bishop Hilarion is a member of the Executive and Central Committees of the World Council of Churches, of the Presidium of 'Faith and Order' Commission, as well as of numerous bilateral theological dialogues. In 1998 he headed the five-member Moscow Patriarchate's delegation to the eighth WCC Assembly in Harare, and in February 2006 he headed the Moscow Patriarchate's 21-member delegation to the ninth assembly in Porto-Alegre.
Bishop Hilarion is a permanent member of the Joint International Commissions for the Theological Dialogue between the Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church; between the Orthodox Church and the Anglican Church; and between the Orthodox Church and the World Alliance of Reformed Churches.
He is also interested in interfaith dialogue among all major world religions, and currently sits on the Board of World Religious Leaders for the Elijah Interfaith Institute.[4]
On October 10, 2007, Bishop Hilarion walked out of an important meeting of the Orthodox-Roman Catholic International Theological Commission at Ravenna, allegedly in protest against the choice of delegates by the Ecumenical Patriarchate. His action was approved by the Holy Synod of the Russian Orthodox Church.
On October 5, 2008 he took part in the "Bible Marathon" organized by the Italian state TV channel RAI-Uno.[5] He read Chapter Two from the Book of Genesis, immediately following Pope Benedict XVI, who read Chapter One. Alfeyev was followed by 1246 readers from various countries.
In September 2009, at the invitation of Cardinal Walter Kasper, he visited Pope Benedict XVI and several officials of the Roman Curia who have key roles in Roman Catholic ecumenical dialogue.[6]
Late in 2010, Metropolitan Hilarion gave an important speech to senior Anglican bishops and professors at the Nikean Club dinner at Lambeth Palace, criticizing proposals for the ordination of women bishops and the alleged toleration of homosexual activity by some Anglicans.[7]

5 Fintechs in Cambodia to Watch
by Fintechnews Singapore May 2, 2020
Cambodia’s fintech industry is still nascent and though lacks behind its ASEAN neighbors including Singapore and Vietnam, the sector is growing steadily on the back of rapid adoption of digital payments and a large population of unbanked.
As of early 2019, fintech was the largest tech category in Cambodia, with some 50 companies, according to a report by Mekong Strategic Partners and Raintree Development. The most represented subsegment was digital payments.
To better understand Cambodia’s emerging fintech landscape, we look today at five fintech startups from the country to watch in 2020.
For this list, we focus on homegrown fintech startups and exclude companies from other countries but with local operations in Cambodia like Milvik, an insurtech company from Ghana that operates under the Bima brand, and TrueMoney, a digital payment services provider from Thailand.
These 5 fintechs have made notable strides over the past year and promise further developments this year.
Spean Luy
Founded in 2016, Spean Luy is the developer and operator of Spean Loan, a microloans mobile app.
Spean Loan allows borrowers to apply for a small loan – from US$50 to US$1,000 – in 10 minutes without paperwork and without the need to visit a physical branch. Its credit scoring system leverages machine learning to efficiently and accurately evaluate a customer’ ability to repay.
Spean Luy raised US$300,000 in a funding round led by Tokyo-headquartered Showcase Capital in February 2019. The company has plans to expand across Asia.
Clik Payment
Founded in 2016, Clik Payment is developing a payment processing application designed to address Cambodia’s fragmented payment industry.
The company’s platform will aggregate all payment methods and networks under its platform, as well as collecting transaction data, providing valuable insight on consumers to the merchants. It will also come with loyalty plans and marketing tools for merchants.
Clik is still awaiting regulatory approval from the National Bank of Cambodia, and plans to launch by mid-2020. Last year, the startup was featured amongst HPMG and H2 Ventures’ Emerging 50 fintech startups.
Wing is a leading fintech from Cambodia that specializes in mobile banking services.
The company provides an array of services ranging from local and international money transfers, bill payments, phone top-ups and online shopping, to QR code payments, and payroll and disbursement services to merchants.
Wing has a nationwide network of over 7,500 Wing Cash Xpress outlets and has inked partnerships with more than 40,000 merchants and global industry leaders including Mastercard, Visa, Western Union, MoneyGram, Alipay and WeChat Pay.
Pi Pay
Launched in 2016, Pi Pay is a leading cashless payments provider in Cambodia focusing on alternative payments.
The Pi Pay payment platform is built around a consumer-facing app that incorporates merchant payment services with a range of social and lifestyle features including Chat, Maps and Friend Finder, and a growing network of retail partners in Cambodia.
This year, Pi Pay will be merging with SmartLuy, a mobile wallet platform operated by Cambodia’s telecommunications service provider Smart Axiata. The merger aims to create the country’s biggest payment platform.
As of January 2020, Pi Pay had close to 300,000 users, and over US$350 million in transaction value. Smart Axiata serves some 8 million subscribers.
BanhJi
Founded in 2016, BanhJi is an award-winning fintech startup providing accounting solutions tailored to Cambodian micro and small businesses.
The company’s financial platform and applications integrate an payment and financing ecosystem to enable smart decisions, and access to financial services and working capital financing.
Last year, BanhJi partnered with Wing to give the fintech’s small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) customers free access to its accounting platform. As of June 2019, about 5,000 SMEs in Cambodia used Wing, while BanhJi recorded about 3,000 SME customers.

Questlove Can't Eat His Own Fried Chicken
But the DJ is losing mad weight on his 4-Hour Body Diet.
Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson’s brined, buttermilk-fried chicken found itself a permanent home last week in NYC’s Chelsea Market at Hybrid. The Roots drummer opened the fried chicken spot last month with restaurateur Stephen Starr. Apart from fried chicken, the duo also sells “Crème de la Crab” dumplings and “Sexual Chcoolate” cupcakes.
But a recent profile on Questlove in The Village Voice reveals that the DJ can’t even enjoy his own fried chicken—for the past six months, he’s been strictly following the diet in Timothy Ferriss’ The 4-Hour Body. The 6’2″ Questlove, whose “weight has yo-yoed throughout his adult life,” once topped 440 pounds. Since starting the regimented diet, Thompson has lost 56 pounds, and he currently weighs in at 350lbs.
A bit skeptical of this “4 Hour Body Diet,” are we? It’s a regime outlined in a health and diet book by New York Times bestselling author and Silicon Valley self-improvement guru Timothy Ferriss, who previously wrote The 4-Hour Workweek and The 4-Hour Chef. In the book, Ferriss guides readers towards goals like: Lose 20 pounds in 30 days with no exercise, gain 34 pounds of muscle in 28 days, become a sex god, and sleep two hours a night and feel rested.
On the strict diet, the hard-working DJ is not allowed to consume white carbohydrates, fruit, and caloric drinks (although two glasses of red wine per night is permitted). Thompson is restricted from eating the same meals routinely, but he can binge-eat one day a week. So, theoretically, if he peeled off the crispy exterior on his fried chicken, he could chow down without restraint on some juicy chicken meat every seven days.
Questlove seems like he’s staying motivated and sticking to the weigh-losing regime. The Village Voice profile reveals that Thompson eats takeout sashimi for dinner and gets to-go zucchini lasagna with vegan cheese before his Thursday night residency at Brooklyn Bowl. Props to the slimmed-down musician for both opening a restaurant and dropping pounds at the same damn time.

Let me start by saying that when I voted, the staff members were working with one objective: doing their jobs. Elected or appointed, they worked as a team to get the job done, helping the voters impartially. When supermarket staff help you bring your groceries to your car, they don’t care about which candidates you support, and neither should the poll workers.
I saw a selectman helping an old man who was in a wheelchair. The selectman asked, “What letter does your last name start with?” and brought him to that check-in table, skipping the queue so the selectman could move to the next task quickly. The selectman didn’t care which candidates the old man was supporting.
People checked in and were given a poker chip to present to another staff member to receive a ballot. Bad news. The voter checks in, receives a chip and walks through into an area where voters are waiting in line to receive their ballots. Meanwhile there were people walking into that area, through a side door. I saw one such entrant, who was wearing a name tag saying “ASST MODERATOR” and who was probably returning from an errand, but a non-resident could have entered through that door, bringing in a poker chip to present for a ballot. I did not see any non-residents enter, or anything else fraudulent, but there was that opportunity.
The voters also were not practicing social distancing, before or after check-in.
Start with ballots marked with serial numbers. Cover the serial number with tape so there is no way to know which voter marked it. It is a secret ballot before it is time to be counted.
The checklist should have a barcode next to each name, and the ballot clerk would scan that barcode, registering the time of day when that voter checked in. Now we will know exactly how many ballots must be in the ballot box.
Let the voter proceed to the voting booth to mark the ballot. The size of our ballots required a special privacy jacket. Voters marked their ballots and put them in the privacy jackets and brought them to the ballot box.
Observers need to be able to see that the ballot box is empty before the voting begins.
After the polls close, bring the ballot boxes to a room where the counting will happen. Open the ballot boxes in public and shuffle the ballots somewhat so nobody knows how the last person voted. One by one, remove the tape covering the serial number and barcode, scan the barcode to document the time, punch the ballot with a time clock (Is there any other kind of clock?) and place the ballot face-down onto a flatbed scanner to make a high-resolution bitmap image, using the serial number of the ballot, plus .bmp as the file name. These bitmap images, and the .jpg thumbnails that load faster and require less bandwidth, would go directly to the elections website where spectators at home could confirm that they were tabulated correctly.
Mailing envelopes for absentee ballots would need a barcoded serial number, too. These would be scanned, and punched in a time clock as they arrive, eliminating any question of when they arrived. The voters could know that their ballots arrived because the mailing envelope serial numbers would be posted on the elections website as they arrive. This also establishes how many mail-in ballots must be accounted for on election day, eliminating the risk that a carton of ballots will be discovered a month after the wrong candidate gets sworn in. After the polls close, these envelopes would be opened and the inside envelopes, displaying the voter affidavit, would be punched in a time clock and scanned on a flatbed scanner where the handwritten signature would be masked. There must also be no connecting the voter’s identity with the secret ballot inside the envelope. After all the envelopes are scanned, then they would be opened and the ballots would be processed the same way in-person ballots are.
Check printers are seeing a sharp decline in sales as more use is made of internet banking. Mostly they are diversifying their product lines, but they are qualified to make documents in a secure environment. Punching a ballot in a time clock would place the time stamp randomly within the alotted area, against varied features of a background, making photoshop forgery difficult.
Computers are good at sorting numbers in order. Some sort processes put 100 far ahead of 99 because the first digit of 100 is 1, and the first digit of 99 is 9, and 1 comes before 9, but if they all have the same number of digits, that is not a problem.
Tabulating the votes by hand would take time. The computers could read the bitmap images as they get scanned. Either way, the paper trail is maintained and the candidates or their staff could review the ballots and the results. Vote totals would be proven by providing on the elections website, a list for each candidate, of every serial number of a ballot with a vote for that candidate, in numerical order and linked to the bitmap and .jpg files where anybody could confirm that the vote was counted correctly. The risk that one pile of ballots would be processed twice or another pile not processed at all, would be eliminated by the use of serial numbers. If a ballot does get scanned twice, only once would that serial number be counted by the computer.
In Michigan, an issue was raised about damaged ballots. The high-speed scanners could not read them, and election workers were given blank ballots to mark and use as substitutes. Any question is eliminated by scanning the damaged ballots into high-resolution bitmaps and displaying them on the elections website.
This would require a lot of terabytes of file storage. How much is a function of the resolution or, more precisely, the square of the resolution, because we are talking about the area being scanned.
Flatbed document scanners are a dime a dozen, especially the ones steeply discounted to get the buyers addicted to the expensive ink cartridges. These may be slow. Again the speed depends on the resolution, and is a function of the square of the resolution. One employee might run a number of scanners simultaneously.
Any accusation that a ballot was photoshopped is refuted by making the paper ballot available. Check printing firms are good at making document forms with reliable serial numbers, and that are so difficult to counterfeit that most criminals prefer to buy a package of them for a few dollars at an office supply store instead.
Poll workers arrive early to set things up. They stay late, after the polls close. A long day would be made longer, but one shift could arrive at 5:00 and leave at 17:00 while the second shift would arrive at 16:30 and work until the job is done.
All of this would help assure the public that the election process is being conducted legally, free of fraud, and that assurance would justify the expense; but there are other problems.
Democrats and Republicans are terrified of having to compete against other parties, so they impose outrageous ballot access requirements, requiring other parties to pay hefty fees and get far more nomination signatures just to be listed on the ballots. Then there are voters who feel they are wasting their votes by voting for the best candidate instead of voting for the second-worst one. Eliminating the ballot access requirements and using ranked voting would solve these problems.
In Maryland, the enslaved persons were emancipated in 1864 when a referendum passed, adopting a new State constitution that banned slavery. In some other States, however, it took a diverted war to emancipate the slaves, because too many persons voted wrong. The Project Vote Smart website may help fix stupid, if more voters would use it, but you cannot fix crazy.

Spotlight Players warm up for spring production
Claire Henderson|January 21, 2011
The Spotlight Players are busier then ever in the first weeks of this semester. Thirty students traveled to Missouri State University for the State Thespian Conference Jan. 6-8, and according to Theater Director Michelle Moll, the trip was a success.
“There were various workshops and shows that the students had the opportunity to attend,” said Ms. Moll. “We also had a few students audition for the 30-plus colleges that were in attendance. Overall, it was a great weekend.”
Upon returning from the conference, the Spotlight Players began preparations for the spring production called “Seussical the Musical.” Applications were distributed for positions on cast and crew, the group began a butter braid and cookie dough fundraiser to raise support for the show, and auditions were scheduled for this past week.
The first day of auditions were scheduled for Tuesday and took place as planned. However, due to school being closed because of weather conditions yesterday and today, the second day of auditions and call-backs have been rescheduled for Monday and Tuesday of next week.
“We’ve only had one day of auditions, and we are looking forward to the final day as well as callbacks. We’ve already seen a lot of great talent,” said Ms. Moll. “I hope to see a plenty of risk taking and creativity shine through during this process.”
As far as the show goes, Ms. Moll already has some ideas about how to get her cast into character.
“After we cast the show and organize all the crews we will start with rehearsals,” said Ms. Moll. “We will be working on developing characters and reading some of the Dr. Seuss books and maybe watching a little bit of ‘Horton Hears a Who.’”

Certainly one of Werner Herzog more provocative works, the German-born filmmaker’s new documentary “Into the Abyss,” subtitled: “A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life,” tangles with the aftermath of a series of senseless murders in Conroe, Texas a decade ago. The film, through Herzog’s omnipotent narration and trademark probing questions posed to a series of relations, friends and others, including a priest and a former death row guard, presents the viewer with what might be considered an even-keeled ship that sails along the turbulent waters which affected both the victims’ families and the men behind the monstrous crime. It seems that the only subject the director failed to place before the camera is the deity called up in the several conversations with those in the tangential circle of the convicted felons Michael James Perry and Jason Burdett. Maybe that footage will be the outtakes on the DVD release.
Ever an observer of the human condition, the filmmaker—now known mostly for his documentaries, but with a slew of award winning fiction titles to his credit (“Aguirre: The Wrath of God” and “Fitzcarraldo” among them)—has recently honored us with fascinating underground 3D excursions (“Cave of Forgotten Dreams”), contemplations of life in Antarctica (“Encounters at the End of the World”), and “Grizzly Man,” an examination into the 2003 death of grizzly bear expert Timothy Treadwell. As in the latter title, Herzog uses additional footage that he and faithful editor Joe Bini collected to tell the tale.
In his new film, it’s blood-splattered, 10-year-old crime scene footage on which Herzog ponders offscreen the what-ifs of death, putting forth his belief against the death penalty as a means of capital punishment. Whether his tone is occasionally anecdotal or, most often, seriously contemplative, the film is quite determined to force the issue, even if the two convicts are hard pressed in explaining their innocence. Perry, the born-again Christian on death row, considers his approaching demise at the hands of authorities, and looks forward to “going home.”
As the director redraws the events of the murders, I was reminded of Errol Morris’ 1988 documentary “The Thin Blue Line,” although the crime scene footage in that emotionally-driven feature was re-enacted. Herzog much prefers to present the truth without any political incentives. It is devoid of the subtle charm and light humor that has peppered his other non-fiction films; Mr. Herzog has certainly grown up, or at least, grown serious.
Even though the film wants to present the “best” of both sides, it is hard not to feel compassion for the family of the victims, represented by Lisa Stotler-Balloun, who lost a mother and brother at the hands of the car thieves turned killers. Her difficulties in coming to terms with the double loss, coupled with death-day footage of unbaked cookie dough and a bowl of dessert ingredients unstirred in her mother’s kitchen, pushes your passion toward retribution. Charles Richardson, whose brother was also killed (as well as a sister to a traffic accident), sheds two black tears under his left eye—a tattooed reminder of his emotional loss.
What the film does argue is that our culture, educational environment and community, chock full of temptations in the hands of children without proper guidance, can cause such conditions as examined in “Into the Abyss.” One of the killer’s fathers is a career criminal—40 years, 8 felonies, a life of regrets, and, finally, a god-fearing man. Indeed Delbert Burkett talks honestly of his failure as a father.
Broken down into a handful of numbered chapters like “Tone and Emptiness” and “A Glimmer of Hope,” the latter episode introduces Melyssa Thompson-Burkett, an articulate woman who latched onto Jason Burkett while he was and remains incarcerated until 2041, at the earliest. They married without consummating their relationship. Yet this woman talks almost with a biblical, yet confident, mystery that the baby she is pregnant with belongs to her husband. Weird.
As it winds to its inevitable conclusion, viewers are left to ponder right and wrong, and most will have the same mixed feelings they had before they took their first bite of popcorn. This looks to be on the short list for Oscar contenders.
Elias Savada says:
Review written by Elias Savada.
God, my husband and I just watched this. We had to fast forward through Jason’s wife’s parts because it’s quite obvious she’s insane. And Jason gets to have a baby…Even though two of his victims will never have that pleasure. Doesn’t seem right.
Bryan StJohn says:
Paul you should be taken out and f****d by a thousand Rabid Camels…Melyssa is a wonderful person who just happened to fall for a manipulative man who uses women to ensure a wealthy stay while in prison. Kill a baby? you are a f*****g idiot and you need your own dick shewed down your throat.
Paul Walker says:
That Melyssa woman is completely mental. What’s with these basket cases who fall for prisoners convicted of murder? How was she raised? He’s a cold blooded killer, 2 witness’ and a confession yet she thinks he’s innocent? What planet is she from? Then she puts a killers semen in her and conceives a child from someone who should have been sterilized at arrest. She thinks a rainbow outside a prison where you were conned by a murderer is a sign? Delusional and pathetic is what she is, the kid should have been euthanized at 2 months in the womb, it would have been a favor for society.
About the baby. I am on Netflix and watched this freestreaming. On Page 4 of the reviews I came upon this (but before you read it, I want you to know I did MANY searches and could find NOTHING on this child thru Google, so this ranter is fabricating “Internet Rumors”): NETFLIX REVIEW: I am a friend of Mel’s and all you haters need to understand the movie was edited for time. She is a brilliant well educated woman from a wonderful family. It saddens me all these internet rumors about the baby not being Jasons. The state of TX does not allow contact visits between non married people Jason is in Michael unit call and verify that he is infact married to Mel and stop spreading hate. And as for the people condeming my nephew saying he is going to grow up to be a killer. SHAME ON YOU!!! He is a tiny baby innocent in all this. And he is being raised by a loving mother surrounded by many educated , kind people. You may not agree with his marriage but attacking an infant with hate and stereotypes is just tacky.
amanda jennings says:
It’s not a miracle baby – she was allowed in for a conjugal visit by guards who faciliatated it.
So did this Melyssa Thompson-Burkett have the miracle baby? It should be born by now… why no update on if the next virgin birth happened?
Doug Brunell says:
I have been hearing nothing but good things about this film. Unfortunately, I don’t think it will play near me and I will have to wait for DVD. I somehow doubt that will lessen its impact.

Imagine if you put a (for the point of this post) completely uninfluenced by anything person into a room. You then showed them videos of old Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or the sorts of videos coming out of Australia amongst others at the moment. If you were to ask their opinion I imagine they would think they were all the same place at different times under the same rule of law.
The more these videos are ignored by the MSM the more obvious their insidious bias is becoming apparent even to some of the most closed minded people I know.

Tom Watson is the President of the UK music industry board.
Jamie Njoku Goodwin is the new CEO
He has worked with Lynton Crosby and Matt Hancock
While not a hugely high-profile name to all in the music biz, Njoku-Goodwin is an accomplished behind-the-scenes operator as one of the UK government’s most senior advisers, and has most recently been working as a special advisor to Health Secretary Matt Hancock. He previously worked at the Department For Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, the remit for which covers the music business.
From October, Njoku-Goodwin will replace Michael Dugher, who stood down in January. He will form a political heavyweight left-right combination with recently-appointed UK Music chairman Tom Watson, who welcomed the new CEO to the team.
https://www.musicweek.com/media/read/meet-jamie-njoku-goodwin-uk-music-s-new-chief-executive/081102
Tom Watson is a big proponant of track and trace etc, with Matt Hancocks advisor you can be guaranteed they will be there to implement the track and trace at festivals, concerts, events etc.
There will be no room for dissent

Interesting video zarkov - thanks for sharing it.
I have my suspicions about Mark Steele too as it seems that he has been spreading the rumour that London will be locked down on the 21st September. He has, on that basis, been telling people not to attend the rally on the 26th September and instead go to the one he is involved with (alongside Kate Shemirani, Dolores Cahill and other professionals) on the 19th September. This could be seen as undermining behaviour.
Piers Corbyn doesn't seem impressed and has apparently called the rumour out as divisive on Twitter (I am not on Twitter myself to confirm this). As far as I can make out, it is those involved with organising the 19th September rally who have created a division and refuse to support the event on the 26th September, even though those organising the 26th September - including Piers Corbyn and Save Our Rights - have been encouraging people to attend both if they can (although Piers himself is in Portsmouth on the 19th).
Mark Steele and Kate Shemirani have also been very vocal about accusing Save Our Rights of being infiltrated. As far as evidence is concerned, Kate Shemirani has produced a Whatsapp conversation where Louise of Save Our Rights was getting frustrated with Mohammed Adil before the 29th August rally as he had gone rogue and invited and confirmed speakers, including DI, apparently without consulting other organisers first. Louise has also been accused of not wanting certain speakers to speak at Trafalgar Square - namely, DI and Mark Steele - and wanting to stick to certain topics (excluding 5G and paedophilia). Apparently Mark Steele called her a "rat" to her face.
Kate Shemirani is now taking credit for ensuring that DI and Mark Steele could speak at the event - at Trafalgar Square rather than Parliament Square. She says that, if they had waited to speak at Parliament Square, this would not have happened as there was a "set up" in the form of a BLM protest group there. Kate also says that there was no sound equipment at Parliament Square and has been suggesting that the sound difficulties they had on the day, and the confiscation of the video screen from public rather than private land, was due to sabotage.
I don't know exactly what went on with the factions of organisers on the 29th August, but I can understand why Save Our Rights may have wanted to keep speakers on topic. 5G and paedophilia were more likely to get the rally (which was supposed to be a health professionals event) placed in the conspiracy theory category and potentially put off those sceptical of lockdown, but not yet aware of the wider agendas, and who may instead need to be eased in more gently. Plus there have been dedicated 'Save the Children' anti-paedophilia events taking place, including the weekend following the 29th August rally.
As for not wanting DI to speak at Trafalgar Square, I understand that this was because he was scheduled instead to speak at Parliament Square after the march to Downing Street - not because Save Our Rights did not want him to speak at all. Sound equipment could have been set up there just as it had been at Trafalgar Square. DI is now lined up again for the 26th September, alongside Save Our Rights, so this does not suggest to me that they have a problem with him.
The BLM protest group at Parliament Square was minimal - I heard rumours on the ground that they were there and it was a "set up" but, when it came to actual people I know who had gone to Parliament Square, I was told either that they weren't there or that they were few and would not have been in sufficient numbers to bother a 35,000 strong crowd. I went there later in the day and there was no sign of them.
A lot of politics and infighting is clearly going on. But in terms of actions, as far as I can make out, the organisers of the 26th September are behaving in good faith and haven't been casting aspersions on those who splintered off and organised the 19th September event. The same cannot be said about those behind the 19th September rally. From what I understand, Louise of Save Our Rights was not the only organiser of the event on the 29th August but a lot of the blame is being directed her way as well as accusations of being an infiltrator. Maybe the concerns are genuine, but I tend to be distrustful of those who make accusations - unless there is solid evidence - rather than those on the receiving end.

The people who planned everything are geniuses. Everything happened like planned.
We have to play in their game that is what we do. I am also a part of it. I know what is going to happen ( at least i think I know) and do nothing against it. I don't were a mask and don't believe what they are saying but don't warn other people at all. You can't wake them up anyway. We do not have a chance against them anyway. If they are Annunaki they could kill us if they want to in no time. It's probably a game, and they are laughing at us.
It's got nothing to do do with him declaring him a conspiracy theorist, but he is totally going against the grain here.
Tom Watson and Matt Hancock are the industry chiefs now, so they can make or break you.
I wish more people would speak out, but looks like they are getting the people in charge to suit the agenda.
A lot of musicians do it for their ego, not for their integrity

before the rona, kids would get sniffles 2 weeks into the school term after 6 weeks summer holidays and not mingling with each other.
now they have had a 6 month holiday of not mingling so most kids will be getting sniffles and coughs.

Ian Brown originally got shafted by his record company when they brought out the original Roses album, kind of killed his career when he was at his peak.

I personally think talking about 5G at this point in time and linking it with the con virus is counter-productive.
If I was organising a speech I would concentrate on the unrealibily of the tests, how the deaths are unfairly recorded as Covid, vaccine safety, the corruption
within the pharmaceutical companies and their undue influence over Governments and WHO, just for starters.
The speeches should be short and concise, allowing people to march afterwards because it's much more difficult for the police
to arrest people is they are spread out.

Allison Mack and Nicki Clyne
Sources: Allison Mack ‘married’ Actress Nicki Clyne to defraud US Immigration
For regular readers of the Frank Report this info is not news.
Sources inside NXIVM told Artvoice that reputed sex cult leader Allison Mack ‘married’ former actresses/sex slave Nicki Clyne in order to allow Clyne to stay in the USA.
Clyne is a Canadian citizen and was having difficulties fulfilling visa obligations. Sources said India Oxenberg – daughter of Dynasty TV star Catherine Oxenberg – witnessed the nuptials.
Up until cult leader Keith Raniere’s flight from the USA – and leading to his arrest in Mexico last week – Mack, Clyne and Oxenberg lived together in Mack’s townhouse near Albany, NY. Raniere lived nearby in a home with two other women.
Mack, Clyne and Oxenberg are branded on their pubic region with the initials of Raniere, who is now in federal custody awaiting arraignment before a federal magistrate in Brooklyn on sex trafficking charges.
Mack – who is second in command – has her initials burned on the pubic regions of the NXIVM slave women, alongside Raniere.
“The reason for the fake marriage is that Clyne is Canadian and Mack a US citizen,” said a source close to both women.
According to another source:
Marriage is actually a common way for NXIVM foreign nationals to stay in Albany with Keith before he fled the USA. Women from Mexico, US, the U.K. and Canada played this game. Marry someone when your visitor or work visa runs out! And Nicki had a O-1 visa as a Canadian. That means she was bringing worth to the US entertainment economy. But Keith told her not to work in acting and she hasn’t done much film or TV work since Keith got his hands on her so she probably couldn’t reapply for the same visa when the original one wore out. But since gay marriage is legal now and she and Allison are both devout followers, it made sense. It’s a great solution.
Allison Mack posted this cartoon on her Instagram account around the time she married Clyne, sources say.
Shortly after posting it, this comment appeared on Mack’s Instagram:
Congrats love to you and Nicki Clyne. I didn’t know you got married. I’m happy you found love amongst all the bad stuff:).
Another source told Artvoice she gave them a wedding present. Another source told Artvoice she provided flowers and other arrangements for the modest ceremony.
At the time of the wedding, Clyne was working for Raniere’s sub-group called Knife Media and paid $15 an hour ‘off the books’.
Nicki Clyne gave up everything to follow Keith Raniere. In order to stay near Raniere, she quit acting and lied to immigration authorities, and then married Allison Mack, sources say.
In order to pay Clyne, Clare Bronfman – a top NXIVM leader – laundered money from USA to Canada and back to the USA.
Bronfman, a Seagram’s heiress, donated more than $100 million to Raniere to support his cult and attack his enemies.
Clyne (born February 11, 1983) played Cally Henderson Tyrol on the Sci-Fi Channel television program Battlestar Galactica from 2003-2008. She joined NXIVM around 2006, having been recruited in Vancouver.
She would fly back and forth to Albany to take Intensives. She appeared in concert for Raniere in 2007 with actress Kristin Kreuk and Allison Mack in Albany.
Clyne was encouraged to quit acting by Raniere, according to multiple sources. Although under contract in her recurring role in the series, in 2008, she asked the producers of Battlestar Galatica to let her out of her contract. They agreed and, in an episode, her character was killed off.
She became a slave of Raniere and Mack and had her pubic region branded with Raniere’s and Mack’s initials.
She sought a visa and moved to Albany to live closer to Raniere. She began work for Clare Bronfman for which she was paid $15 per hour. From a successful actress on a TV show, she became a low-wage worker and Raniere sex slave.
Sources say Clyne married Mack to remain in the United States and it was not a romantic relationship. Clyne was active in promoting sex trafficking and helped recruit women to be branded and blackmailed. Clyne took a lifetime vow to obey Raniere.
Clyne was not alone in giving up a TV role for Raniere. Mack gave up her role in the TV show Smallville to follow Raniere in 2010.
Mack is expected to be arrested on sex trafficking charges and has been identified as a co-conspirator by the US DOJ. Clyne’s role was very significant in the alleged sex trafficking cult. She is almost certainly going to be charged by the feds.

Allison is still listed as an active cast member for this production running through the end of August. Posted the link 3/30 on her own FB page. Is she seriously showing up? https://www.theoldglobe.org/pdp/16—17-season/red-velvet/?startDate=2017-03-01&%3FendDate=2017-03-31#
End of April I meant.
Uh! Nevermind! This was a post from March of last year. (Blushing)
The Judge says:
I imagine Allison is thinking to herself “I stuck it out for 13 years, branded other women and engage in all manner of deviant sex acts for this schlub, and STILL everyone just wants to know what Lana was up to.”
Between this and Hyde the Rapist, my favorite tv shows are becoming unwatchable. Damn you, PizzaGate!
I hated Callie. I was never so happy to see someone get sucked out an airlock.
For this, I thank you, Vanguard.
Good question about the parents. My guess is they are around, Instagram posts have her and her mother as being close.
My instincts tell me Allison has been cooperating with the Feds for awhile, or she would have been arrested with Keith. If she wasn’t working with them at the time of arrest, I bet a small sum she’s cooperating now.
I’ll go out on a limb and say she may have tipped off the Feds. I
Know it’s a stretch, but somethings not right with this whole thing.
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
Darth VanDouche - Chicken Shit says:
Well someone is a mole on the inside. I think there has to be.
But if I was to place my bets on which one of the celebrities it is, then it would be Nicki, since she’s not one of the CC-#’s in the warrant.
I think it’s Lauren Salzman. She is the true ringleader of DOS and wasn’t mentioned anywhere in the complaint in support of the arrest OR the petition for permanent detention, yet Allison, India, and Clare Bronfman were all over them.
That would be sad for Catherine Oxenberg if India is arrested because she did the right thing. Does anyone know if the authorities would go easier on someone because a relative was the one calling attention to the illegal activities?
I think Allison not being picked up might be a case of them not being able to get an arrest warrant in time or not getting permission to extradite. I’m not familiar with the process but if they don’t have as much on her as they’d like they might have just grabbed the “big fish” while they could.
Sadly if Lauren is the leak she’s probably doing it for a plea bargain or immunity rather than any kind of moral epiphany that might lead the other members into flipping.
I think India being listed as one of the co conspirators is another example of Raniere being a bastard. Mack was placed at the helm of DOS so her name would distract and help give him a smoke screen. I wouldn’t be surprised if he lead India into an incriminating place to punish her mother if he ended up being caught. And more deserving parties like Salzman reap the side benifit of being secondary concerns.
Diminished mental capacity might get some of the girls, including Allison, leniency to varying degrees. Reading more on thought reform it is truly terrifying, The person that originally joined the cult is imprisoned by the Keithdrone occupying their body and probably doesn’t know it. Breaks my heart. I can see some juries recommending court ordered institutionalization for at least India thanks to her Mother’s influence, hopefully for any that can be helped really.
Ceres says:
Does anyone have any information on Allison Mack’s relationship to her parents? Have any close friends or family voiced public concern?
All of Them Witches says:
More important question might be if she has retained counsel.
Slightly unrelated, Clare Bronfman is scheduled to appear at the Vail Film Festival, where the Tourettes documentary she produced is scheduled to be shown this weekend….
Apparently anything posted in brackets doesn’t show up. My comment was “puke”.
Outsider thoughts on Clarebear says:
May she be greeted with silver bracelets of the handcuff kind.
She won’t show
Shaolin says:
Wow! I urge everyone to call and send messages to the organizers. I’m sure the big $$$ aspect of Clare will trump any moral actions from the organizers. Maybe alert their sponsors as well
. Huge money sponsors. They will not want to be linked to a cult in any way
Cera says:
Does anyone know what typically happens to the closest followers of a guru when they get arrested? I can see the leftovers banding together for a time. But it seems like the veil would just slowly naturally lift when the source of thier obsession is no longer readily available.
I’ve been reading up on it lately, it seems that, regardless of jailtime or not, some will slowly return to normal, some will have a swift reality check as the infrastructure maintaining their conditioning collapses, and some will persist, mentally unable to accept that the sacrifices they made and the terrible things they’ve done were for nothing more than the whims of a lying sociopath.
I think it’s something that stays with them for life. Some will never accept they were part of a cult. And that feeling of being connected and intimacy may be something they miss and be susceptible to in future. Our industrialized society can be very lonely. I knew one person, she spent 30k USD on a similar set of courses and the leader later got embroiled in a typical scandal. She accepted mentally that he was a fraud but said that her heart was still connected to him and she couldn’t change that however much she tried. Either way they will need a lot of counseling and family support. btw the documentary Wild Wild Country is a great watch about the Osho cult in the 80s.
I will watch that. I’ve seen it mentioned several times in various places.
Does anybody know where Allison Mack is currently?
I would guess she is on the lam and is no longer in Mexico.
I used to watch Smallville back in the day and it is very sad what has become of Ms. Mack.
With that being said, I hope she spends years in prison for all of the physical and emotional pain she caused everybody.
I wonder myself. I hope she gets apprehended before she might hurt herself. I hope she’s sent to a prison that truly works on reform and provides appropriate therapy. I’m guessing something like a 5 year sentence if she cooperates. I hope the five or so years isn’t wasted warehousing. She has a lot of insight to share that she’s not aware of yet.
Why the inconsistencies? says:
However, previous posts in the last week or 2 have claimed that Mack lived WITH KR on Oregon Trail (one of the houses raised by FBI last week, #21?).
These inconsistencies from the same source(s) are beginning to undermine the credibility of what’s being reported here..
Laura Darby - Clifton Park correspondent says:
The answer is Keith, Allison Mack, Marianna Fernandez and possibly India were living on Oregon trail before his flight to Mexico . Prior to that, India and Allison were attached to Allison’s Knox Woods condo at 127 Grenadier which is across the street from Keith’s Flintlock townhouse. Nicki has been traced to a condo in Knox Woods on Monmouth Way. It is unknown where she actually lives. You have to understand they have multiple addresses at their disposal and move around like the Manson family did.
Come on…these might be inconsistencies but they are very minor in relation to the massive amounts of information that Frank has shared on this blog for YEARS.
It’s pretty apparent that you are either a nexian or a Kreuk fan if you are claiming that these tiny “inconsistencies” are undermining the credibility of Frank’s entire body of work here.
SOS says:
Frank’s credibility is a result of his anonymous sources within the group providing him with information. His opinion that surrounds it, not so much.
Way to poison the well again by group Nxians and Kristin Kreuk fans together.
The fact of the matter is, Frank’s credibility took a shot because the person primarily responsible for bringing the branding and sex cult story publicly and nationally to light vouched for Kristin in no uncertain terms as not being in the “inner circle” and having nothing to do with the “sex cult”, while Frank presented the opposite in the media for click bait.
It’s not a matter of being a Kreuk fan. It’s a matter of knowing the difference between truth and falsehood.
‘Inner Circle’ is quite a flexible term and can mean the social circle rather than command and control. Kreuk was mixing with the senior/inner group in a way others would not have access.
That’s just playing loose and fast with definitions. The inner circle are those who are one step away from the leader who forms the center and are privy to the secrets and running the most important aspects of the organization. Hence, the term “inner”. I don’t think Rick Ross would consider Kristin to be part of the “inner circle”. Just because they might deal with some of the inner circle members at a different access level than most members because they have a special status like celebrity or some other reason doesn’t make them a part of it.
I remember as a kid watching a mini-series about Jim Jones with Powers Boothe that was riveting. I can’t wait for the NXIVM mini series. Even though it’s not as tragic, thankfully, there is still plenty of sadness and tons of craziness. I worry about some of the experiments and how children were being raised according to this madman’s edicts. That horrifies me. I worry about the children and hope they aren’t scarred for life and can recover.
When did this marriage occur? I’m trying to figure out when it would have been needed. Clyne hasn’t been visible in entertainment, but she voice acted in an indie film that came out in 2010, was the host of a web show on the syfy site in 2013, and was etheir promoting or filming the web series that just launched with her in it between 2015-2017. I would have thought that would have at least kept her visa alive. unless it ran up in ’14 or something when she was between Keith letting her out.
Comparing Ally, Nicki and Kristin says:
A few months ago a comment linked to video of Ally, Nicki and Kristin on stage hosting the first of the two Acapella concerts. What struck me was a moment when Nicki said the first singers blew our minds, and there will be more “blowing” to come.
As the audience howled at the double entendre, Kristin blushed and laughed uncontrollably like a virginal teen high on pot…while Nicki and Ally winked at the audience, like young women very much at ease with sex, tho all were about the same age.
Maybe even then the three actresses displayed a different character that would determine what their future would be in NXIVM.
Seriously, you're comparing three adult women based on their comfort with a BJ joke? says:
Nope, and more nope. You’re reading way too much in an uncomfortable and unintentional moment.
Don't derive character from their ease with a sex joke says:
Sex is not anything nice or happy with Keith.
Sometime in the last month or two, FrankReport posted the words of a woman who escaped. A woman who experienced “sex” with Keith Raniere.
“Sex” with Keith is nothing pleasant. The blowing is all from Keith to the woman and it’s all about control. Nothing good about ir, and it brings the threat of herpes.
THE VIDEO says:
The video does indicate the 3 are on different ends of the ease-with-sex scale
Books, movies and series! Oh my! says:
I know many of us can’t for legal reasons. But don’t you worry the books, the movies, the series are all coming.
Do the legal reasons really mean anything at this point? Really?!
Justice will prevail says:
They do to the Feds.
It’s not about books, movies or series, Oh My! It’s about (listen very carefully) It’s about putting an end to a predatory organization. So it doesn’t infect my kids or anyone else’s. Get it? Or do you need a few more years to wake a little more UP?
Okay, this is certainly the last straw. Why does Frank have the only blog about this? This man has been holding the spine of truth all by himself because all the others are far too scared to speak up. We know who you are. We, being the several hundred people reading this blog over the last couple months. I’m a huge nobody. One of hundreds of nobodys reading this blog and reading the comments. I’m horrified by the critique of this blog by obvious members! Who do you think you are? I’m a nursing assistant. A big nobody. But, I’m telling everyone I know about this story and directing them to this website, NXIVM Articles and the hilariously fake founder Wiki pages. Also. Those of you who have first hand experiences, where are your blogs? Where are your very own testimonies? This needs to end. You need to tell what happened to you so it doesn’t happen to anyone else…on your own platform. I’m not an outsider. I’m a person just like you.
You speak truth says:
Aliz,
REALLY, just Goggle and you will find enough reading material to last you a long time. Check out
https://culteducation.com/group/907-nxivm.html
There is some good reading on Rick Ross Cult education website that goes back years. On the left hand side is a message board, do a search for NXIVM and ESP, you will find a lot of information there also.
Most of us who have left have wasted enough of our lives on this and are busy rebuilding our lives and speak out when we can or have worked behind the sense with legal authorities and the media to help crumble this house of cards.
You’re new to the game, unless of course you one of the the insiders trying to distract the conversation for your faithful Master.
Been there. Rick Ross and Reddit.
Not new to the game. Also not new to the internet. You guys seem a little slow, but it’s just taking off. So I might be the first to point it out. Give it a week.
I agree. A few, very few, have had tne courage to speak up but most are either still true believing cultists or too afraid of retaliation to speak up. I get it, this cult has ruined the lives of those who dare to criticize it. Hopefully, as it falls apart and it becomes obvious they are powerless, more people will be as courageous as Frank and be willing to speak the truth.
NXIAN followers still holding on to the dream. says:
Many of them are financially or legally leveraged. The ones on the “legal team” are shaking in their boots. They did a lot of bad things to good people and they know their days are numbered. Arrogant, self-righteous, and brainwashed. Now, they await their fate. They continue to justify their support in the hopes it will all go away. They cant function in society. FOOLS.
Oh my goodness says:
Eep. That is against the law, in no uncertain terms.
I was once asked to participate in such an arrangement, with a great friend, and froze out of fear of the legal implications, then said no without hesitation.
That those two women did not refuse speaks to how muddled their instincts and thinking are. Their brains have been rewritten by Keith. A lie is not a lie if it helps the NXIVM cause!
Sorry, ladies, the justice system has not been brainwashed by Keith.
Truly a tragedy, these two bright talents warped into slaves by Keith.

And what a great scoop. Thank you, Laura!
Wonder if they cancelled her

My presumption is it is geographically impossible to fulfill her commitments.
Likely, they are staying in Mexico for the moment, and have gone to a different location. It is possible they could believe the best thing for the moment is to “ride it out” until the charges are dropped.

Due to personal issues involving Ms. Mack, she will be canceling her appearance at GSCF. Both Ms. Mack and GSCF agreed that it would be in everyone’s best interest for her not to appear April 7-8th due to recent events. We felt it could be a major distraction to the convention itself, the fans, and Ms. Mack. We are sorry to the fans who were looking forward to meeting the actress that portrayed fan favorite Chloe Sullivan in Smallville.
We also hope Ms. Mack is able to get her personal issues in order and maybe one day be able to visit GSCF if possible.
Looper says:
Thanks for that further info.
Hardlyusd says:
I think she might be able to make an appearance in 10-15 years !!!

Klobuchar Wrath Attack: Angry Amy Came to Play
Andrew Stiles - October 15, 2019 11:15 PM
Tonight was the night Amy Klobuchar stopped playing coy on the debate stage and started treating her Democratic opponents like she treats her employees. Angry Amy came to play.
Amy Klobuchar's mode in this debate is jumping in constantly to say she thinks her rivals is full of it and being dishonest
— Edward-Isaac Dovere (@IsaacDovere) October 16, 2019
A confessed bird murderer who presided over a Senate office that former staffers described as "controlled by fear, anger, and shame," Klobuchar (D., Minn.) traded her inside voice for her shouty voice, and lit into her Democratic opponents, accusing them of trying to deceive the American people with lies.
De facto frontrunner Senator Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) bore the brunt of Amy's rage, especially when it came to the issue of health care and Warren's refusal to admit that middle class taxes will go up under her proposed "Medicare for All" plan.
"I'm sorry, Elizabeth … I think we owe it to the American people to tell them where we're going to send the invoice," Klobuchar seethed. "I believe the best and boldest idea here is to not trash Obamacare, but to do exactly what Barack Obama wanted to do from the beginning, and that's have a public option."
Klobuchar was just getting started, accusing Warren of wanting to kick 150 million people off of their preferred health insurance plans by forcing them to enroll in Medicare.
"And I'm tired of hearing whenever I say these things, ‘Oh, it's Republican talking points,'" Klobuchar fumed. "You are making Republican talking points right now in this room … I think there is a better way that is bold, that will cover more people, and it's the one we should get behind."
Later on in the debate, when Warren appeared to suggest that some of her Democratic colleagues wanted to protect billionaires, Klobuchar pounced like a puma.
"I want to give a reality check here to Elizabeth, because no one on this stage wants to protect billionaires. Not even the billionaire [Tom Steyer] wants to protect billionaires," Klobuchar raged. "We just have different approaches. Your idea is not the only idea."
Amy Klobuchar: "No one on this stage wants to protect billionaires. Not even the billionaire wants to protect billionaires."

— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) October 16, 2019
Doing what comes naturally, Warren responded with professorial condescension: "Look, I understand that this is hard, but I think as Democrats we are going to succeed when we dream big and fight hard, not when we dream small and quit before we get started."
Klobuchar WENT OFF.
"You know, I think simply because you have different ideas doesn't mean you're not fighting for regular people," she erupted. "I wouldn't even be up on this stage if it wasn't for unions and the dignity of work. If my grandpa didn't have unions protecting him in those mines, he wouldn't have survived. If my mom didn't have unions as a teacher, she wouldn't have been able to make the wages she made when my parents got divorced."
It wasn't a fight, it was an execution. Angry Amy ate Pocahontas for lunch. With a f—king comb.

Sarah Jessica Parker Responds to Fan Comment Suggesting She Doesn’t Like Kim Cattrall
There has been some drama between Kim Cattrall and Sarah Jessica Parker over the years, and amid the news that Sex and the City is returning for a reboot on HBO Max with SJP, Kristin Davis and Cynthia Nixon returning, fans had some comments.
Some backstory: In 2017, Kim revealed that she was never friends with her co-stars and the relationships on set felt “toxic.” She also revealed she wouldn’t do a third film with them. Then, months later in early 2018, Kim‘s brother suddenly passed away and Sarah Jessica wrote a comment on Kim‘s Instagram post, expressing her condolences and seemingly, mending their broken relationship. Later on, Kim suddenly lashed out at SJP for “exploiting” her family’s tragedy. Kim was rumored to be the reason why a third Sex and the City movie never came to fruition.
On Sunday night (January 10), SJP and her co-stars celebrated the news that the show would be returning. One fan commented, “She didn’t tag [Kim‘s character] Samantha Jones.” Another then responded, “they dislike each other.”

LIDOCAINE 5%- lidocaine 5% cream ointment
Lidocaine 5% by
SOLA Pharmaceuticals
Lidocaine 5% by Drug Facts
Lidocaine 5% by is a Prescription medication manufactured, distributed, or labeled by SOLA Pharmaceuticals. Drug facts, warnings, and ingredients follow.
Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% contains a local anesthetic agent and is administered topically. See INDICATIONS AND USAGE for specific uses.
Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% contains lidocaine, which is chemically designated as acetamide, 2(diethylamino)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-, and has the following structural formula:
Composition of Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5%: acetamide, 2-(diethylamino)-N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-, (lidocaine) 5% in a water miscible ointment vehicle containing polyethylene glycol 300 and polyethylene glycol 1450.
Lidocaine stabilizes the neuronal membrane by inhibiting the ionic fluxes required for the initiation and conduction of impulses, thereby effecting local anesthetic action.
Onset of anesthesia
Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% effects local, topical anesthesia. The onset of action is 3-5 minutes. It is ineffective when applied to intact skin.
Excessive blood levels may cause changes in cardiac output, total peripheral resistance, and mean arterial pressure. These changes may be attributable to a direct depressant effect of the local anesthetic agent on various components of the cardiovascular system.
Pharmacokinetics and metabolism
Lidocaine may be absorbed following topical administration to mucous membranes, its rate and extent of absorption depending upon the specific site of application, duration of exposure, concentration, and total dosage. In general, the rate of absorption of local anesthetic agents following topical application occurs most rapidly after intratracheal administration. Lidocaine is also well-absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, but little intact drug appears in the circulation because of biotransformation in the liver.
Lidocaine is metabolized rapidly by the liver, and metabolites and unchanged drug are excreted by the kidneys. Biotransformation includes oxidative N-dealkylation, ring hydroxylation, cleavage of the amide linkage, and conjugation. N-dealkylation, a major pathway of biotransformation, yields the metabolites monoethylglycinexylidide and glycinexylidide. The pharmacological/toxicological actions of these metabolites are similar to, but less potent than, those of lidocaine. Approximately 90% of lidocaine administered is excreted in the form of various metabolites, and less than 10% is excreted unchanged. The primary metabolite in urine is a conjugate of 4-hydroxy-2,6-dimethylaniline.
The plasma binding of lidocaine is dependent on drug concentration, and the fraction bound decreases with increasing concentration. At concentrations of 1 to 4 μg of free base per mL, 60 to 80 percent of lidocaine is protein bound. Binding is also dependent on the plasma concentration of the alpha-l-acid glycoprotein.
Lidocaine crosses the blood-brain and placental barriers, presumably by passive diffusion.
Studies of lidocaine metabolism following intravenous bolus injections have shown that the elimination half-life of this agent is typically 1.5 to 2.0 hours. Because of the rapid rate at which lidocaine is metabolized, any condition that affects liver function may alter lidocaine kinetics. The half-life may be prolonged two-fold or more in patients with liver dysfunction. Renal dysfunction does not affect lidocaine kinetics but may increase the accumulation of metabolites.
Factors such as acidosis and the use of CNS stimulants and depressants affect the CNS levels of lidocaine required to produce overt systemic effects. Objective adverse manifestations become increasingly apparent with increasing venous plasma levels above 6.0 μg free base per mL. In the rhesus monkey arterial blood levels of 18-21 μg/mL have been shown to be threshold for convulsive activity.
Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% is indicated for production of anesthesia of accessible mucous membranes of the oropharynx.
It is also useful as an anesthetic lubricant for intubation and for the temporary relief of pain associated with minor burns, including sunburn, abrasions of the skin, and insect bites.
Lidocaine is contraindicated in patients with a known history of hypersensitivity to local anesthetics of the amide type or to other components of Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5%.
EXCESSIVE DOSAGE, OR SHORT INTERVALS BETWEEN DOSES, CAN RESULT IN HIGH
PLASMA LEVELS AND SERIOUS ADVERSE EFFECTS, PATIENTS SHOULD BE INSTRUCTED TO STRICTLY ADHERE TO THE RECOMMENDED DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION GUIDELINES AS SET FORTH IN THIS PACKAGE INSERT.
THE MANAGEMENT OF SERIOUS ADVERSE REACTIONS MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF RESUSCITATIVE EQUIPMENT, OXYGEN, AND OTHER RESUSCITATIVE DRUGS.
Cases of methemoglobinemia have been reported in association with local anesthetic use. Although allpatients are at risk for methemoglobinemia, patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency,congenital or idiopathic methemoglobinemia, cardiac or pulmonary compromise, infants under 6 months of age, and concurrent exposure to oxidizing agents or their metabolites are more susceptible to developingclinical manifestations of the condition. If local anesthetics must be used in these patients, closemonitoring for symptoms and signs of
methemoglobinemia is recommended.
Signs of methemoglobinemia may occur immediately or may be delayed some hours after exposure, and are characterized by a cyanotic skindiscoloration and/or abnormal coloration of the blood. Methemoglobin levels may continue to rise; therefore, immediate
treatment is required to avert more serious central nervous system and cardiovascular adverse effects, including seizures, coma,arrhythmias, and death. Discontinue Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% and any other oxidizing agents. Depending on the severityof the signs and symptoms, patients may respond to supportive care, i.e., oxygen therapy, hydration. A more severe clinical presentation may require treatment with methylene blue, exchange transfusion, orhyperbaric oxygen.
Lidocaine Ointment 5% should be used with extreme caution in the presence of sepsis or severely traumatized mucosa in the area of application, since under such conditions there is the potential for rapid systemic absorption.
The safety and effectiveness of lidocaine depend on proper dosage, correct technique, adequate precautions, and readiness for emergencies. (See WARNINGS and ADVERSE REACTIONS). The lowest dosage that results in effective anesthesia should be used to avoid high plasma levels and serious adverse effects. Repeated doses of lidocaine may cause significant increases in blood levels with each repeated dose because of slow accumulation of the drug and/or its metabolites. Tolerance to elevated blood levels varies with the status of the patient. Debilitated, elderly patients, acutely ill patients, and children should be given reduced doses commensurate with their age and physical condition. Lidocaine should also be used with caution in patients with severe shock or heart block.
Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% should be used with caution in patients with known drug sensitivities. Patients allergic to paraaminobenzoic acid derivatives (procaine, tetracaine, benzocaine, etc.) have not shown cross sensitivity to lidocaine. Many drugs used during the conduct of anesthesia are considered potential triggering agents for familial malignant hyperthermia. Since it is not known whether amide-type local anesthetics may trigger this reaction and since the need for supplemental general anesthesia cannot be predicted in advance, it is suggested that a standard protocol for the management of malignant hyperthermia should be available. Early unexplained signs of tachycardia, tachypnea, labile blood pressure and metabolic acidosis may precede temperature elevation. Successful outcome is dependent on early diagnosis, prompt discontinuance of the suspect triggering agent(s) and institution of treatment, including oxygen therapy, indicated supportive measures and dantrolene (consult dantrolene sodium intravenous package insert before using).
Patients who are administered local anesthetics are at risk of developing methemoglobinemia when concurrently exposed to the following drugs, which could include other local anesthetics:
Examples of Drugs Associated with Methemoglobinemia:
When topical anesthetics are used in the mouth, the patient should be aware that the production of topical anesthesia may impair swallowing and thus enhance the danger of aspiration. For this reason, food should not be ingested for 60 minutes following the use of local anesthetic preparations in the mouth or throat area. This is particularly important in children because of their frequency of eating.
Numbness of the tongue or buccal mucosa may enhance the danger of unintentional biting trauma. Food and chewing gum should not be taken while the mouth or throat area is anesthetized.
Inform patients that use of local anesthetics may cause methemoglobinemia, a serious condition that must be treated promptly. Advise patients or caregivers to seek immediate medical attention if they or someone in their care experience the following signs or symptoms: pale, gray, or blue colored skin(cyanosis); headache; rapid heart rate; shortness of breath; lightheadedness; or fatigue.
Carcinogenesis, mutagenesis, impairment of fertility
Studies of lidocaine in animals to evaluate the carcinogenic and mutagenic potential or the effect on fertility have not been conducted.
Use in Pregnancy
Teratogenic Effects. Pregnancy Category B. Reproduction studies have been performed in rats at doses up to 6.6 times the human dose and have revealed no evidence of harm to the fetus caused by lidocaine. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response. General consideration should be given to this fact before administering lidocaine to women of childbearing potential, especially during early pregnancy when maximum organogenesis takes place.
Lidocaine is not contraindicated in labor and delivery. Should Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% be used concomitantly with other products containing lidocaine, the total dose contributed by all formulations must be kept in mind.
Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when lidocaine is administered to a nursing woman.
Pediatric use
Dosage in children should be reduced, commensurate with age, body weight and physical condition. Caution must be taken to avoid overdosage when applying Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% to large areas of injured or abraded skin, since the systemic absorption of lidocaine may be increased under such conditions. See DOSAGE and ADMINISTRATION.
Adverse experiences following the administration of lidocaine are similar in nature to those observed with other amide local anesthetic agents. These adverse experiences are, in general, dose-related and may result from high plasma levels caused by excessive dosage or rapid absorption, or may result from a hypersensitivity, idiosyncrasy or diminished tolerance on the part of the patient. Serious adverse experiences are generally systemic in nature. The following types are those most commonly reported:
CNS manifestations are excitatory and/or depressant and may be characterized by lightheadedness, nervousness, apprehension, euphoria, confusion, dizziness, drowsiness, tinnitus, blurred or double vision, vomiting, sensations of heat, cold or numbness, twitching, tremors, convulsions, unconsciousness, respiratory depression and arrest. The excitatory manifestations may be very brief or may not occur at all, in which case the first manifestation of toxicity may be drowsiness merging into unconsciousness and respiratory arrest. Drowsiness following the administration of lidocaine is usually an early sign of a high blood level of the drug and may occur as a consequence of rapid absorption.
Cardiovascular manifestations are usually depressant and are characterized by bradycardia, hypotension, and cardiovascular collapse, which may lead to cardiac arrest.
Allergic reactions are characterized by cutaneous lesions, urticaria, edema or anaphylactoid reactions. Allergic reactions may occur as a result of sensitivity either to the local anesthetic agent or to other components in the formulation. Allergic reactions as a result of sensitivity to lidocaine are extremely rare and, if they occur, should be managed by conventional means. The detection of sensitivity by skin testing is of doubtful value.
To report SUSPECTED ADVERSE REACTIONS, contact Teligent Pharma, Inc. at 1-856-697-1441 or FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 or www.fda.gov/medwatch.
Acute emergencies from local anesthetics are generally related to high plasma levels encountered during therapeutic use of local anesthetics. (see ADVERSE REACTIONS, WARNINGS, and PRECAUTIONS).
Management of local anesthetic emergencies
The first consideration is prevention, best accomplished by careful and constant monitoring of cardiovascular and respiratory vital signs and the patient's state of consciousness after each local anesthetic administration. At the first sign of change, oxygen should be administered.
The first step in the management of convulsions consists of immediate attention to the maintenance of a patent airway and assisted or controlled ventilation with oxygen and a delivery system capable of permitting immediate positive airway pressure by mask. Immediately after the institution of these ventilatory measures, the adequacy of the circulation should by evaluated, keeping in mind that drugs used to treat convulsions sometimes depress the circulation when administered intravenously. Should convulsions persist despite adequate respiratory support, and if the status of the circulation permits, small increments of an ultra-short acting barbiturate (such as thiopental or thiamylal) or a benzodiazepine (such as diazepam) may be administered intravenously. The clinician should be familiar, prior to use of local anesthetics, with these anticonvulsant drugs. Supportive treatment of circulatory depression may require administration of intravenous fluids and, when appropriate, a vasopressor as directed by the clinical situation (e.g., ephedrine).
If not treated immediately, both convulsions and cardiovascular depression can result in hypoxia, acidosis, bradycardia, arrhythmias and cardiac arrest. If cardiac arrest should occur, standard cardiopulmonary resuscitative measures should be instituted.
Dialysis is of negligible value in the treatment of acute overdosage with lidocaine.
The oral LD50 of lidocaine HCI in non-fasted female rats is 459 (346-773) mg/kg (as the salt) and 214 (159-324) mg/kg (as the salt) in fasted female rats.
When Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% is used concomitantly with other products containing lidocaine, the total dose contributed by all formulations must be kept in mind.
A single application should not exceed 5 g of Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5%, containing 250 mg of lidocaine base (equivalent chemically to approximately 300 mg of lidocaine hydrochloride). This is roughly equivalent to squeezing a six (6) inch length of ointment from the tube. In a 70 kg adult this dose equals 3.6 mg/kg (1.6 mg/lb) lidocaine base. No more than one-half tube, approximately 17-20 g of ointment or 850-1000 mg lidocaine base, should be administered in any one day.
Although the incidence of adverse effects with Lidocaine Ointment USP, 5% is quite low, caution should be exercised, particularly when employing large amounts, since the incidence of adverse effects is directly proportional to the total dose of local anesthetic agent administered.
Dosage for children
It is difficult to recommend a maximum dose of any drug for children since this varies as a function of age and weight. For children less than ten years who have a normal lean body mass and a normal lean body development, the maximum dose may be determined by the application of one of the standard pediatric drug formulas (e.g., Clark's rule). For example a child of five years weighing 50 lbs., the dose of lidocaine should not exceed 75-100 mg when calculated according to Clark's rule. In any case, the maximum amount of lidocaine administered should not exceed 4.5 mg/kg (2.0 mg/lb) of body weight.
For medical use, apply topically for adequate control of symptoms. The use of a sterile gauze pad is suggested for application to broken skin tissue. Apply to the tube prior to intubation.
In dentistry, apply to previously dried oral mucosa. Subsequent removal of excess saliva with cotton rolls or saliva ejector minimizes dilution of the ointment, permits maximum penetration, and minimizes the possibility of swallowing the topical ointment.
For use in connection with the insertion of new dentures, apply to all denture surfaces contacting mucosa.
IMPORTANT: Patients should consult a dentist at intervals not exceeding 48 hours throughout the fitting period.

35.44 g (1 ¼ oz) laminate tubes with a child-resistant cap, NDC: 52565-008-14

News Friedhelm Loh Group invests in a start-up. Rittal, German Edge Cloud and IoTOS together offer a complete solution for processing and analysing industrial data
The Friedhelm Loh Group is taking over IoTOS, a start-up based in Limburg, Germany
Three Friedhelm Loh Group companies will be working together even more closely in the future: Rittal, German Edge Cloud and IoTOS, along with Bosch Connected Industry will be offering the first complete solution for integrating, harmonising and analysing industrial production data. Following the acquisition of German Edge Cloud, the IoTOS start-up now also belongs to the group. The Friedhelm Loh Group has now announced the 100% takeover.
“Data is the new raw material”, Dr Friedhelm Loh said back in 2016 when laying the foundation stone for Rittal's new factory in Haiger. The world’s most advanced automated and digitally integrated production of small and compact enclosures is currently being started up and already generating 18 terabytes of data every day. Furthermore, today Rittal, German Edge Cloud and IoTOS are now offering the first real-time comprehensive solution for edge cloud-based data management and data availability along the entire supply chain, from usage via intelligent analysis and to secure and customer-controlled data transfer in a highly efficient overall environment. All three companies now form part of the Friedhelm Loh Group. Today, the group announced the 100% takeover of the Limburg-based IoTOS. This company is complementing the services already being offered by the group by adding industrial IoT applications for the customer’s smart factory. It has been agreed that the purchase price will remain confidential.
ONCITE, the industrial edge cloud appliance product that Rittal and German Edge Cloud are offering together with IoTOS and Bosch Connected Industry, is “the answer to the question of how industrial manufacturing customers will be able to quickly and easily deal with the increasing complexity of processing production data in the future,” says Dr Friedhelm Loh, Owner and Chairman of the board of the group of companies: “With the digitalization scheme launched by VW and BMW, the automotive industry has been the first sector to demand complete data availability from the manufacturing industry along the entire supply chain. Others will follow. Medium-sized companies have to get ready for these future requirements today. With Rittal, German Edge Cloud and IoTOS, we are helping our customers do just that – and to shape the future.”
ONCITE consists of edge cloud infrastructures (IaaS) based on flexibly scalable edge cloud Rittal data centres, platforms for data analysis (PaaS) and industry-specific AI applications (SaaS) including full service. IoTOS offers software solutions, such as for networking devices and machines, as well as real-time analytics and the traceability of all components in the supply chain. “Our goal is to give our customers transparency across the entire value chain, increase their productivity, cut maintenance costs and at the same time to implement digitalized business models”, says Dieter Meuser, Managing Director of IoTOS: "We are pleased to now be part of a strong group that is a recognised leader in developing solutions for the digitisation of small and medium-sized businesses."
With Rittal, German Edge Cloud and IoTOS, but also with Eplan (Engineering) and iNNOVO Cloud (Managed Services), the Friedhelm Loh Group focuses on the integration of value chains in both industry and IT. In the future, the question will not only be about the best product and the most efficient solution in the industrial customer’s value chain. It will also be a matter of integrating the necessary data-driven processes between customers, as well as along the entire supply chain and within the smart factories in a value-adding way. Then, as Dr Friedhelm Loh says, “the future will belong to whoever has the best product and the best platform with the corresponding applications.”

Episode 213 | Jan 28, 2020
When family you enjoy comes to visit you in the big city, it's always a fun time.
Family Trip in Los Angeles
Brian Durkin's dad comes to visit him in LA, and Brian recounts all of the best moments. He shares some of his favorite places to eat, as well as some cool activities they did together as father and son. This is a heart-warming episode focused on reflection, but don't worry, there is of course some silliness. Episode ends with a couple rounds of Punderdome.
Los Angeles Family Vacation
If you've never been to the city, you need to do the tourist things. A lot of haters will say skip it, and they are right sometimes; however, the tourist things become tourist things because they are some of the best stuff to see/do. You can't go to Paris without at least seeing the Eiffel Tower. If you're in LA, you got to at least see the Hollywood sign. Doing this stuff with family makes it extra special, because you can share the moment with someone you love. Don't have family because they died or you hate them? No problem! Just do the trip with friends. Family is what you make it.
FBL Recommends: Los Angeles Tourist Spots
Here are some of our favorite places to go, food to eat, and things to do in the City of Angels.
This is the quickest way to get all the tourist stuff out in about a few hours tops. Brian and his father went on the Hollywood Sightseeing and Celebrity Homes Tour by Open-Top Bus. The tour guide is informative and funny. Since the van is a converted Sprinter (as opposed to a double decker bus), you can ride up through Mulholland Drive. Even if you're not into celebrity homes, the views from this windy road are incredible.
Osteria Mozza
One of the best restaurants in LA, this place was featured in Season 3 of Chef's Table on Netflix. And it doesn't disappoint. Probably Brian's favorite place to go for a special occasion. The menu showcases some of the finest cheeses and Italian cuisines. Be sure to book a reservation in advance.
Incredible views of the Pacific Coast plus the fun of a New Jersey Boardwalk, the Santa Monica Pier has a lot to offer. Come early to soak up some rays on the beach, or just enjoy a stroll at dusk. Plenty of incredible places to eat in Downtown Santa Monica.
Be sure to head over to Stout Burgers and Beers for happy hour. From Monday to Friday between 4pm to 6pm you'll receive 50% off all food. Their burgers are fantastic, and the fries are heavenly.

Ontario Provincial Police say they’re searching for witnesses after a boy riding a bicycle reportedly had a knife pulled on him Saturday evening in Orillia, Ont.
Just after 8 p.m., a boy was riding a bike on Atherley Road, east of Forest Avenue, when he was approached by an unknown man who pushed him over, police say.

The man then started to damage the bicycle before the boy tried to get him to stop, according to officers, and that was when the suspect pulled a knife on the victim.
Police say the man then fled on a bicycle west on Atherley Road before turning south on Forest Avenue South.

Camper Trailers That Sleep 6 to 8 People
Jayco Kiwi 23B Specs
By Elizabeth McCready
Travel Supreme began making recreational vehicles in 1989. The Indiana-based company went out of business in the recession of 2008. Travel Supreme motor homes and fifth-wheel RVs still are sought by buyers because they have a high level of customization and use quality materials. Fifth-wheel RVs are trailers that are hitched to a towing vehicle using a pin and flat iron plate, like a tractor-trailer. Jayco, a competitor also based in Indiana, acquired Travel Supreme assets and folded them into a new subsidiary, Entegra Coach.
Travel Supreme Toy Hauler Coach
Toy Haulers are one of the newer trends in RVs. They have a garage for motorcycles, ATVs, mountain bikes, golf carts and other "toys". Travel Supreme made a Class A (bus style) motor-home toy hauler. This model has a 10-foot, 2,000-pound capacity garage built into the back. The rear door opens upwards. ToyHauler Magazine in a review said the hydraulic platform is a real bonus for loading and unloading heavy equipment. The RV has a 6-speed automatic transmission, and is able to tow 5,000 pounds. Living space includes a bedroom with a king-sized bed, a faux fireplace, and granite counter tops in the kitchen.
Travel Supreme Select Limited
The 2007 Travel Supreme Select Limited is a diesel, rear-wheel drive, class A motor home. The 45DS24 model is 44 feet, 11 inches long. Six different floor plans were available. All variations had four slide-outs, a king-sized bed and front cab privacy divider. This large RV has 60-gallon grey and black water tanks. Fresh water comes from a 100-gallon tank with an on-demand water heater. The interior decoration was inspired by ancient Greece, with columns, and crown moldings. Everything is powered by electricity from batteries as opposed to propane. Appliances include a pullout-drawer dishwasher, and 120-watt convection microwave oven.
2008 Fifth Wheels
In its last year of operation, 2008, Travel Supreme offered 17 fifth-wheel models ranging in length from 34 feet, two inches to 40 feet, nine inches. All models have slide outs for bedroom and kitchen. As many as four additional slide-outs were available. Standard bathroom features include a garden shower, Corian counters, and skylight. The kitchen comes with a three-burner stove with oven, microwave, and double-door refrigerator. Queen-sized beds, and a built-in metal safe in the bedroom are standard. Most models offered an optional king sized bed. The trailers are equipped with 55 gallon grey and black water tanks, and a 75 gallon fresh water tank.

U.S. Navy Conducts Military Exercises in Gulf Amid Iran Tension
A demolition charge is remotely detonated 1,500 meters from the US Navy Avenger-class mine countermeasures ship USS Scout. US NAVY PHOTO
by Zainab Fattah (Bloomberg) The U.S. Navy is conducting exercises this month to ensure its readiness to guarantee freedom of movement through Persian Gulf and Red Sea waterways amid escalating threats from Iran to disrupt shipping across important choke points.
The exercises, with regional and global allies, are part of the U.S. 5th Fleet Theater Counter Mine and Maritime Security Exercise, Commander Scott A. Stearney told reporters from NAVCENT headquarters in Manama. One exercise is taking place in Djibouti, which sits on one side of the Bab Al Mandab strait, a crucial pinch point for global shipping at the south end of the Red Sea.
The combined exercises “illustrate that the U.S. and our partners stand ready to ensure the freedom of navigation and free flow of commerce wherever international law allows,” Stearney said.
Although the exercises aren’t in response to Iran’s threats, Stearney said U.S. allies need to be well positioned to “address anything that threatens our interest or our ships.” He said Iran’s activities across the region are “promoting instability” that’s “affecting the region significantly” through its backing of Yemen’s Houthi rebels.
Iran has threatened to halt exports through the Straits of Hormuz, a vital channel for Middle East oil, if it’s barred from shipping its crude through it. The threats started after the U.S. withdrew from a 2015 nuclear agreement and reimposed economic sanctions on Iran that had been eased under the accord. The measures are set to intensify in November by targeting Iran’s oil sales — the lifeline of its economy.

2017 Audi TTS Exclusive
By Carter July 13, 2018 August 13, 2018 Audi
Twenty years ago, the Audi TTS would have been a very exciting proposition. Built on the universally praised MQB platform, the third generation 8S TT is lighter than the original, better balanced, and more powerful. With close to 300 horsepower and 280 lb.ft of torque from the 2.0 TSFI turbocharged inline-4, it’s a Golf R in a slinky dinner dress. Equipped with the impressive dual-clutch 6-speed S-Tronic transmission and launch control, the results are hard to argue with: 0-60 in 4.2 seconds and a quarter mile in 12.8 at 108 mph. Unthinkable for anything but the most exotic exotics a few generations ago, this is all wrapped up in a reasonably affordable and attractive package that is usable year-round and has few drawbacks.
But the TTS falls into a no man’s land today. It’s $10,000 more expensive than the base TT – already quite an impressive car. It’s also more expensive than the more practical Golf R on which it is based. A lot more expensive. But more troubling, with a few options like today’s it is also dearer than a base Porsche 718 Cayman. And while it soundly out-drags the base Cayman, which would you rather impress friends in?

This 2017 is basically new, with only 6,000 miles accrued in a little over a year. Depreciation has taken its toll already; Spec out this car today and you’d be looking to pay at least $10,000 more and wait for months for delivery. The big headline is obviously the color – Micromatta Green Metallic is very cool and definitely makes this TTS stand out. Since it’s effectively new, it’s still quite cutting edge with the Technology Package featuring the Virtual Cockpit option.
At below $50,000, the TTS becomes more compelling, but it is still quite expensive. The color is neat and the design and build work well. However, there are really a lot of other options out there to consider in this price bracket, so a potential buyer probably has to fall in love with the color to make this sale happen.

2.7 million Americans leave unemployment in a month, could signal strong jobs report tomorrow
September 3, 2020 by press
Sept. 3, 2020, Fairfax, Va.—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement noting the number of unadjusted continued unemployment claims has dropped from 15.8 million on July 25 down to 13.1 million on Aug. 22 as 2.7 million Americans left unemployment a month, according to the Department of Labor:
“The Trump administration delivered more great news for people who want to work as the unemployment claims report shows that another unadjusted 2.7 million Americans have come off of continued unemployment between July 25 and Aug. 22 from the depths of the Chinese COVID virus crash. That will surely build on the between 9 million and 10 million jobs that have been recovered in the three months since our economy began to reopen after April. Tomorrow’s unemployment could be another huge gain for the American people in terms of dropping the unemployment rate, recovering jobs and bringing more people back into the work force, thanks to President Trump’s leadership to reopen the economy and as COVID cases continue to stabilize.”
Interview Availability: Please contact Americans for Limited Government at 703-383-0880 or at media@limitgov.org.

Huawei Think They Can Still BEAT Samsung
Huawei News December 4, 2019 No Comments Jose P. Berg
Huawei Think They Can Still BEAT Samsung – So unless you were living under the rock, you should know that Huawei is banned from using Google apps that also includes the play store. As you would expect, it’s hurting the company in the west. I mean, it’s almost impossible to sell phones without Google’s core android software, play store, etc.
But Huawei’s founder and CEO are confident that they can still beat the number one smartphone maker. Even without the help of google. He was interviewed recently. where he was asked whether or not he still thinks Huawei can be the number one smartphone maker? To which he said and I quote, “I don’t think that would be a problem,” he added that it will just take more time.
Considering the total smartphone shipments that Huawei did in the recent quarter. I think it’s more than likely at this point that Huawei could eventually beat Samsung. Because Huawei has what Samsung doesn’t, and it’s the support of 1.4 billion people. Over 75% of smartphones Huawei sold in the last quarter came from China alone. Where brands like Samsung don’t even have a 1% market share. So it’s something that Huawei will keep on taking advantage of in the future as well.
Anyway, the CEO also mentioned that once the company’s Harmony operating system becomes operational. It may affect companies like Google as there will be no turning back from there. He said, and I quote, “we will have to resort to alternatives. If those alternatives become mature. I think it’ll become less likely to switch back to previous versions,” Clearly he’s talking about the harmony os.

Initially, I was suspicious about whether or not the Harmony operating system would become the third viable smartphone OS in the world. But now, considering how well Huawei phones are selling even without Google apps. I’m positive Harmony OS will be successful with the help of China alone. It may take some time, but it’s more than likely for Huawei to make the Harmony OS a successful operating system.
So the Mate 30 Pro is the company’s latest flagship phone. A lot of us were wondering how well the phone is performing since it doesn’t have Google services. Well, we have numbers coming straight from Huawei itself, and they look really promising. Huawei sold 7 million Mate 30 phones in the first 60 days. If you compare it to the Mate 20 series, that’s an increase of 75%.
And the impressive thing is Mate 30 phones are predominantly sold in China. So this 7 million figure is basically coming from China alone. This just shows how dominant they are in their own home turf. And this is something that Huawei will take advantage of beating Samsung for the title of the number one smartphone maker in the world.

NIH is issuing this FOA in response to the declared public health emergency issued by the Secretary, HHS, for 2019 Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19). This emergency FOA provides an expedited funding mechanism as part of the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics-Radical (RADx-rad) initiative.
SARS-CoV-2 is a novel coronavirus that has recently been identified as the causative agent of COVID-19, a respiratory disease that exhibits a wide range of clinical outcomes from asymptomatic and mild disease to severe viral pneumonia, Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C), acute kidney injury, thrombotic disorders, and serious cardiac, cerebrovascular and vascular complications. On March 11, the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak was classified as a pandemic by the WHO. Research is an important component of the public health emergency response before, during and after the emergency. United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-authorized COVID-19 diagnostic testing is critical for slowing the spread of the virus and preventing future outbreaks. Given this, there is an urgent public health need for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to support the development of a variety of approaches to testing.
Expanding the capacity, throughput, and regional placement of existing technologies and accelerating the development of new technologies will contribute significantly to the current national efforts to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. To help meet this need, NIH launched the Rapid Acceleration of Diagnostics (RADx) initiative to speed innovation in the development, commercialization, and implementation of technologies for COVID-19 testing. The RADx program is a national call for scientists and organizations to bring their innovative idea for new COVID-19 testing approaches and strategies.
As a part of this initiative, the NIH developed the RADx Radical (RADx-rad) project. RADx-rad will support research and development for new, or non-traditional applications of existing approaches, to enhance their usability, accessibility, and/or accuracy. RADx-rad will be centrally aligned and coordinated to harmonize the data collection, storage, and management, providing an opportunity to further explore and identify additional approaches to understand this novel virus. Beyond the current crisis, it is anticipated that the technologies advanced through RADx-rad may also be applicable to other, yet unknown, infectious agents.
To centrally align and coordinate RADx-rad projects to harmonize the data collection, storage, and management, the Data Coordination Center (DCC) will be established to serve as the “hub” in a hub-and spoke organizational framework within the funded RADx-rad research and development projects serving as spokes. In turn, the DCC will serve as a spoke in the larger NIH RADx initiative by providing de-identified data to an NIH-based data hub. NIH expects that all projects funded under this FOA will actively coordinate, collaborate, and share data with the RADx-rad Data Coordinating Center, as allowed, and with considerations under tribal IRB processes, as appropriate. The RADx-rad DCC will provide support and guidance to RADx-rad awardees in the following three areas: (1) Administrative Operations and Logistics, (2) Data Collection, Integration and Sharing, and (3) Data Management and Use. The DCC will develop (and revise as necessary) a framework for standards, metadata and common data elements that apply to all types of data gathered by RADx-rad awardees in order to maximize potential for longitudinal research, integration with other RADx data, and for evaluation of RADx-rad program impact. The DCC will assist awardees in identifying and obtaining data from public sources (e.g., Census data, Area Deprivation Index, etc.), electronic health records (EHR), administrative data, and others as needed. The DCC will coordinate quality control, data curation, and analyses, and provide tools to monitor progress, performance, and use of the curated data. The DCC will create a mechanism to support harmonizing with other large-scale COVID-19 research efforts and will participate in trans-NIH efforts to support scientific collaboration and data-sharing, evaluation of progress towards sustainable infrastructure, partnership and rapid dissemination of RADx findings.
NIH requires that all projects funded under this FOA will actively coordinate, collaborate, and share data with the RADx-rad Data Coordinating Center (DCC), and with considerations under tribal IRB processes, as appropriate. Researchers applying to this funding opportunity are strongly encouraged to review the DCC funding opportunity (RFA-OD-20-019).
To the extent possible, data acquisition, collection, and curation strategies should be coordinated with the DCC guidance for annotation and benchmarking of data, including obtaining appropriate consent for data sharing and implementation of the schemas proposed under the ABOUT ML effort (“Annotation and benchmarking on understanding and transparency for machine learning lifecycles”; available at https://www.partnershiponai.org/about-ml/).
In order to maximize progress and successful outcomes, recipients are expected to participate in DCC-organized activities, including regular (e.g., monthly) progress meetings with individual or subsets of awardees, and twice annual meetings with all RADx-rad awardees.
To maximize research and rapidly implement approaches to address the COVID-19 pandemic, comparisons across datasets or studies and data integration are essential to collaboration. Projects funded through this RFA are strongly encouraged to use the following resources as applicable:
Data Harmonization for Social Determinants of Health via the PhenX Toolkit: Investigators involved in human-subject studies are strongly encouraged to employ a common set of tools and resources that will promote the collection of comparable data on social determinants of health (SDOH) across studies. In particular, studies with human participants should incorporate SDOH measures from the Core and Specialty collections that are available in the Social Determinants of Health Collection of the PhenX Toolkit (www.phenxtoolkit.org).
A trans-NIH working group is making existing COVID-19 survey items and investigator contact information publicly available through two NIH-supported platforms: the NIH Public Health Emergency and Disaster Research Response (DR2) [https://dr2.nlm.nih.gov/] and the PhenX Toolkit [https://www.phenxtoolkit.org/index.php]. Researchers addressing COVID-19 questions, whether population-based or for clinical research, are strongly encouraged to consider these COVID-19 specific survey item repositories and select existing survey items or protocol modules currently being fielded.
Specific Research Objectives
This FOA will focus on developing and validation of approaches that bring together inputs from multiple surveillance technologies, not based or focused on direct viral testing of individuals, to facilitate early detection of COVID-19 in facilities at high risk for infections due to the high density of individuals who stay together for prolonged periods of time (e.g., receiving treatment such as at dialysis centers) or those living together, such as in senior living systems, jails and prisons, residential treatment facilities, halfway houses, Group Homes for Persons with Intellectual Disabilities (GHPID), shelters, or similar.
In public health, critical surveillance systems remain primarily based on manually collected and coded data, often done by healthcare workers. The data are slow to collect and difficult to disseminate or act upon. In the precarious time before a vaccine for COVID-19 becomes widely available, the contagion could be slowed down by rapid identification and isolation of infections. While diagnostic viral testing is a critical tool, it is not readily scalable for ongoing monitoring of asymptomatic individuals. Continuing outbreaks of COVID-19 in communal living settings have demonstrated the capacity of the virus to spread rapidly and widely, aided by the transmission from asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic individuals. For example, the high COVID-19 morbidity and mortality observed among residents in long-term care facilities pose a major challenge for disease prevention and control in such settings. Furthermore, the lack of surveillance systems and the differences in testing strategies and capacities among facilities may lead to a significant under-reporting of cases, contributing to a general underestimation of the disease burden and mortality in high density settings. Among the factors that may have contributed to the spread of COVID-19 within and between long-term care facilities are the shortage of personnel and limiting the testing to symptomatic individuals. The situation is even more complicated in cases when the high prevalence of neurological conditions such as dementia and neuropathic disorders among the residential care facility populations results in atypical COVID-19 clinical presentations or the absence of evident signs or symptoms until the patients’ conditions deteriorate. Surveillance can provide the missing link to understanding how an individual infection becomes a transmission event. This capability is crucial during a pandemic where transmission is possible across vulnerable patients. Further, surveillance enables the facility administrators and clinicians to assess their infection control protocols and make changes to improve outcomes in the future.
Thus, this FOA seeks research applications expanding the capacity, throughput, and regional placement of existing technologies and accelerating the development of new technologies that will contribute significantly to the current national efforts to curb the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed surveillance technologies could include digital and algorithmic features, biometric technologies, and internet-based participatory surveillance, but should be adapted to the specific conditions of the high-density circumstances of residential care institutions or medical facilities. The responsive projects would focus on development of robust, local, real-time, accurate and cost-effective surveillance projects that demonstrate innovative integration of technologies. In addition to functional surveillance, these projects may also explore novel methods of data collection and interpretation and use of machine intelligence to facilitate broad-based, real-time assessment, along with data modeling, prediction and visualization (which would require the use of standard vocabulary and common data elements (CDE)), all in the context of addressing the needs of high risk, vulnerable populations. The applicants are encouraged to incorporate partnership with at least one category of at-risk institutions or facilities (e.g., senior living systems, jails and prisons, residential treatment facilities, dialysis units) to demonstrate the effectiveness of the novel surveillance approaches in a real-world setting.
It is important that the applicants present a clear and well-formulated vision for the use of surveillance technology, which is understood and supported by all stakeholders, to assure successful implementation. The applicants are encouraged to consider designs that would keep the additional workload for the facilities’ staff to a minimum by making an attempt to incorporate surveillance technology into existing care routines.
The proposed systems should also be designed with special focus on social inclusion, to help overcome social barriers and digital marginalization (e.g. due to lack of digital access among residents at long-term care facilities, homeless shelters, etc.).
The research questions that could be explored by the applicants to this FOA include, but are not limited to:
What are the possible health markers amenable to the multimodal surveillance in densely populated facilities?
Is there a signature pattern of passively monitored markers that can reliably predict onset of COVID-19 symptoms?
How to merge, validate and analyze the data in order to have a detailed view on the evolution of COVID-19 within high-risk, densely populated residential facilities and medical institutions?
How to leverage existing data (Electronic Health Records data, registry, survey and clinical data) to incorporate risk factors (predisposing and precipitating factors) into the multimodal COVID-19 detection system to reduce the frequency of false positives and negatives?
How to aggregate and harmonize outputs from different multimodal testing systems through the use of common data elements (CDEs)?
What are the best strategies to protect the behavioral autonomy of participants being tested by passive systems and to recognize the diverse needs of residents or patients, facility staff and family members?
What grouping of surveillance modalities could be combined to allow for the earliest identification of possible pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic cases?
What mitigation strategies are most effective for reducing spread of SARS-CoV-2 in densely populated spaces?
How do the envisioned benefits and drawbacks of the proposed surveillance technology take shape in practice?
How do clients in high-risk institutions or medical facilities experience and make use of the possibilities that the surveillance technology offers?
Projects that do not have an infrastructure to rapidly report study findings and impact to the DCC are non-responsive and will be withdrawn without review.
Specific Areas of Research Interest from the participating NIH ICs of this FOA are listed below. Applicants are strongly encouraged to contact the Scientific/Research Contacts from various NIH ICs listed in Section VII prior to submission to discuss IC program relevance.
NIDA has previously supported several surveillance technologies initially intended for drug and overdose detection that could be amenable for real-time, spatially selective, early detection of COVID-19. NIDA is interested in adapting the technologies to the current needs of the communities struggling with the substance use disorders (SUD) that are disproportionally affected by COVID-19, including residents of in-patient SUD treatment facilities. Despite the recent favorable changes in some policies related to the outpatient vs. inpatient treatment options, for many SUD patients the outpatient measures are not considered an adequate clinical option (e.g. life-threatening situations for people at high risk for overdose or complications from withdrawal). Inpatient/residential programs that need to remain open during the current COVID-19 related emergency have been advised to follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance on precautions in admitting new patients, management of current residents who may have been exposed to or who are infected with COVID-19, and visitor policies. NIDA is particularly interested in surveillance platforms that would specifically address the needs of the SUD inpatient/residential programs with the focus on admitting new patients during the pandemic and providing uninterrupted services to the current residents.
NIDCR is interested in multimodal surveillance platforms that could be utilized in dental settings to allow for informed decision-making regarding provision of dental care to ensure the safety of patients and dental personnel.
NIDCR is also interested in multimodal surveillance platforms that apply oral biosensing technologies intended for non-invasive, real-time, early detection of COVID-19 from a variety of biomolecular, chemical and physical markers in oral and nasal cavities. These technologies would use objective measures to examine the prevalence, onset, and trends of COVID-19 positivity in the settings in which they are deployed.
The NIMHD is interested in the development of surveillance systems that operate at multiple levels (e.g., individual, interpersonal/organizational, neighborhood/community, and societal). See the NIMHD Research Framework, https://www.nimhd.nih.gov/about/overview/research-framework.html, for more information. The research must focus on one or more minority or health disparity populations (African Americans/Blacks, Hispanics/Latinos, American Indians/Alaska Natives, Asians, Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, underserved rural populations, and sexual and gender minority populations).
The NINR supports research that can build the scientific foundation for clinical practice, prevent disease and disability, manage and eliminate symptoms caused by illness, and enhance end-of-life and palliative care, and actively supports research on health disparities, communication and literacy. For this initiative, NINR is interested in how multimodal testing systems will be understood, perceived and adopted by the participant community and their families or caretakers, with a special focus on strategies to enhance acceptance by health disparity populations.
NIGMS is interested in the development of computational, statistical, and mathematical models and the use of artificial intelligence/machine learning for COVID-19 surveillance.
Dialysis units serve a patient population that is at high risk for complications from COVID-19 due to age and multiple comorbidities. In addition, most outpatient hemodialysis in the US (>85%, about 450,000 prevalent patients) is administered through “in-center” hemodialysis. Thus, despite the outpatient nature of this care, patients and providers cannot quickly convert to home therapy. That said, hemodialysis units have a highly trained workforce which has experience in infection control and such routine practices may favorably impact transmission of the virus. NIDDK is interested in multimodal surveillance platforms that would specifically address the needs of patients and staff in hemodialysis units, including but not limited to admitting new patients during the pandemic, providing uninterrupted services to the current patients, and allowing for informed decision-making regarding provision of dialysis care to ensure the safety of patients and dialysis unit staff
Off-premise alcohol outlets, including bars and restaurants, are potential hotspots for the transmission of COVID-19. Similarly, in-patient treatment facilities, sober living facilities, and in-person mutual support groups also represent opportunities for the spread of infection. Research is needed to understand the behaviors, such as social distancing and mask wearing, of persons in these locations that could influence the risk of disease spread. In the case of bars and restaurants, it would be helpful to understand how alcohol consumption influences behaviors that place patrons at risk. For instance, alcohol reduces social inhibitions and might increase the chances that patrons interact in ways that put them at risk of becoming infected or of spreading the virus (e.g., reduced social distancing or mask wearing). It would be beneficial for public health to conduct novel research using multimodal surveillance strategies to assess how patronage at bars during the pandemic impacts the risk of contracting COVID-19, whether there are particular strategies employed at some bars that minimize the risk, and how alcohol consumption impacts behavior in ways that increase or decrease the risk. It would also be helpful to know how the pandemic has impacted group interactions at residential treatment facilities, sober living facilities and mutual support groups, and whether certain therapeutic approaches, such as group sessions, place individuals at a heightened risk of contracting COVID-19. Such studies could provide useful information for developing strategies to reduce the risk of infection at these locations.
NLM is interested in novel computational and statistical methods to enhance discovery in large or merged health data sets with a focus on understanding and characterizing the gaps, errors, biases, and other limitations in the data or in inferences based on the data; exploring approaches to correct biases or compensate for missing data, including the introduction of debiasing techniques and policies or the use of synthetic data; improving approaches for integrating, mining, and analyzing health data that preserve the confidentiality, accuracy, completeness and overall security of the data, including ethical issues that might arise from a proposed approach.
Leveraging Existing Research Resources: Applicants are strongly encouraged to leverage existing research resources for their studies whenever possible. NIH has developed innovative solutions that will improve the efficiency, quality, and impact of the process for turning observations in the laboratory, clinic and community into interventions that improve the health of individuals and the public through programs such as: NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) Program, Research Evaluation and Commercialization Hubs (REACH), Small Business Education and Entrepreneurial Development (SEED) for assistance in proof of concept and commercialization of a marketable product.

ClinicalTrials.gov: If an award provides for one or more clinical trials. By law (Title VIII, Section 801 of Public Law 110-85), the "responsible party" must register and submit results information for certain “applicable clinical trials” on the ClinicalTrials.gov Protocol Registration and Results System Information Website (https://register.clinicaltrials.gov). NIH expects registration and results reporting of all trials whether required under the law or not. For more information, see https://grants.nih.gov/policy/clinical-trials/reporting/index.htm.
Institutional Review Board or Independent Ethics Committee Approval: Grantee institutions must ensure that all protocols are reviewed by their IRB or IEC. To help ensure the safety of participants enrolled in NIH-funded studies, the awardee must provide NIH copies of documents related to all major changes in the status of ongoing protocols.
NIH is requiring data sharing for all COVID-19 projects, where it is not prohibited (i.e., Tribal data sovereignty). The NIH expects and supports the timely release and sharing of final research data from NIH-supported studies for use by other researchers to expedite the translation of research results into knowledge, products, and procedures to improve human health. Recipients are required to work with the RADx-rad DCC to submit common evaluation metrics on COVID-19 testing-related outcomes and implementation to the DCC. Recipients should identify a dedicated unit responsible for these data reporting activities. NIH requires that all projects funded under this FOA will actively coordinate, collaborate, and share data with the RADx-rad DCC, as allowed, and with considerations under tribal IRB processes, as appropriate. Researchers applying to this funding opportunity are strongly encouraged to review the DCC funding opportunity. To the extent possible, data acquisition, collection, and curation strategies should be coordinated with the DCC guidance for annotation and benchmarking of data, including obtaining appropriate consent for data sharing and implementation of the schemas proposed under the ABOUT ML effort (“Annotation and benchmarking on understanding and transparency for machine learning lifecycles”; available at https://www.partnershiponai.org/about-ml/). In order to maximize progress and successful outcomes, recipients are required to participate in DCC-organized activities, including regular (e.g., monthly) progress meetings with individual or subsets of awardees, and twice annual meetings with all RADx-rad awardees.
Recipients of federal financial assistance (FFA) from HHS must administer their programs in compliance with federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, disability, age and, in some circumstances, religion, conscience, and sex. This includes ensuring programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency. The HHS Office for Civil Rights provides guidance on complying with civil rights laws enforced by HHS. Please see https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-providers/provider-obligations/index.html and http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/section1557/index.html.
HHS recognizes that research projects are often limited in scope for many reasons that are nondiscriminatory, such as the principal investigator’s scientific interest, funding limitations, recruitment requirements, and other considerations. Thus, criteria in research protocols that target or exclude certain populations are warranted where nondiscriminatory justifications establish that such criteria are appropriate with respect to the health or safety of the subjects, the scientific study design, or the purpose of the research. For additional guidance regarding how the provisions apply to NIH grant programs, please contact the Scientific/Research Contact that is identified in Section VII under Agency Contacts of this FOA.
Recipients of FFA must ensure that their programs are accessible to persons with limited English proficiency. HHS provides guidance to recipients of FFA on meeting their legal obligation to take reasonable steps to provide meaningful access to their programs by persons with limited English proficiency. Please see https://www.hhs.gov/civil-rights/for-individuals/special-topics/limited-english-proficiency/fact-sheet-guidance/index.html and https://www.lep.gov. For further guidance on providing culturally and linguistically appropriate services, recipients should review the National Standards for Culturally and Linguistically Appropriate Services in Health and Health Care at https://minorityhealth.hhs.gov/omh/browse.aspx?lvl=2&lvlid=53.
Recipients of FFA also have specific legal obligations for serving qualified individuals with disabilities. Please see http://www.hhs.gov/ocr/civilrights/understanding/disability/index.html.

In accordance with the statutory provisions contained in Section 872 of the Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2009 (Public Law 110-417), NIH awards will be subject to the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) requirements. FAPIIS requires Federal award making officials to review and consider information about an applicant in the designated integrity and performance system (currently FAPIIS) prior to making an award. An applicant, at its option, may review information in the designated integrity and performance systems accessible through FAPIIS and comment on any information about itself that a Federal agency previously entered and is currently in FAPIIS. The Federal awarding agency will consider any comments by the applicant, in addition to other information in FAPIIS, in making a judgement about the applicant’s integrity, business ethics, and record of performance under Federal awards when completing the review of risk posed by applicants as described in 45 CFR Part 75.205 “Federal awarding agency review of risk posed by applicants.” This provision will apply to all NIH grants and cooperative agreements except fellowships.
Funds awarded using appropriations provided by the Paycheck Protection Program and Health Care Enhancement Act, Public Law 116-139 will be issued in unique subaccounts in the HHS Payment Management System and will require separate financial reporting from any other funds awarded.
A final RPPR, invention statement, and the expenditure data portion of the Federal Financial Report are required for closeout of an award, as described in the NIH Grants Policy Statement.
In accordance with the regulatory requirements provided at 45 CFR 75.113 and Appendix XII to 45 CFR Part 75, recipients that have currently active Federal grants, cooperative agreements, and procurement contracts from all Federal awarding agencies with a cumulative total value greater than $10,000,000 for any period of time during the period of performance of a Federal award, must report and maintain the currency of information reported in the System for Award Management (SAM) about civil, criminal, and administrative proceedings in connection with the award or performance of a Federal award that reached final disposition within the most recent five-year period. The recipient must also make semiannual disclosures regarding such proceedings. Proceedings information will be made publicly available in the designated integrity and performance system (currently FAPIIS). This is a statutory requirement under section 872 of Public Law 110-417, as amended (41 U.S.C. 2313). As required by section 3010 of Public Law 111-212, all information posted in the designated integrity and performance system on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews required for Federal procurement contracts, will be publicly available. Full reporting requirements and procedures are found in Appendix XII to 45 CFR Part 75 – Award Term and Conditions for Recipient Integrity and Performance Matters.

Malik Beasley and Larsa Pippen together: NBA star’s wife Montana Yao ‘blindsided’ by photo of her husband
December 2, 2020 mediabest Celebrities
A recent photo showing basketball star Malik Beasley and Larsa Pippen together has apparently “blindsided” the NBA player’s wife, Montana Yao.
Apparently, Malik Beasley’s wife was expecting the Minnesota Timberwolves player back home this past week and was disappointed he didn’t show up.
Now, the image popping up of Beasley and Scottie Pippen’s soon-to-be-ex-wife has Montano Yao rumored to be upset over the photographic evidence of her husband’s activities.
Malik Beasley’s wife “blindsided” by a photo of husband with Larsa
Paparazzi recently captured the Kardashians’ former friend Larsa Pippen holding onto the arm of Minnesota Timberwolves star Malik Beasley. The 24-year-old NBA star and Larsa were both masked up but appeared to be quite cozy with one another.
The photos were a shock to Beasley’s wife, Montana Yao, as a source close to her told TMZ Sports she was “blindsided” and didn’t realize what her husband was up to.
Yao and Beasley have a child together, and apparently, the source told TMZ Sports that Yao was expecting her hubby home on Nov. 26, which was his 24th birthday. However, he didn’t arrive for that.
https://www.instagram.com/p/CIRVEz8Bu9O/
Larsa Pippen denies dating Tristan Thompson behind Khloe Kardashian’s back, claims she knew him first
A post shared by TMZ (@tmz_tv)
The 46-year-old Larsa Pippen is a former friend of the Kardashians who appeared on their show as a recurring cast member over several seasons. Also, Pippen was amongst the cast of The Real Housewives of Miami in 2011.
Weeks ago, Pippen made headlines with her comments in a Hollywood Raw Podcast interview she did when she opened up about ending her friendship with the Kardashians, even suggesting that rapper Kanye West had “brainwashed” his wife Kim and the Kardashians against her.
In addition, Larsa brought up how she dated Tristan Thompson before introducing him to the Kardashians and that he eventually started to date Khloe Kardashian.
Montana Yao takes to Instagram after husband’s recent activity
After finally seeing what her husband was up to in the past week, and it catching Montana Yao off guard, she went onto her official Instagram Story to post several videos of their child.
The 23-year-old Instagram model also posted a few messages which may have been reactions to what she discovered about Malik’s recent activities.
“I’ve always and will forever remain true to who I am and GOD has never let me down,” she wrote on one message, adding, “the truth always comes out one way or another.”
In another message, Montana Yao thanked the fans for being supportive of her during this recent time.
“Appreciate all the love ya’ll for real,” she wrote with the thanks and heart emoji added into the message.
Based on the above messages, it would seem Montana is trying to stay strong as she sees her husband and the father of her child with another woman.
Soon after that, she posted a message on her IG Story which seems to show how surprised she is by the recent photo that arrived online.
After spending the first four years of his career with the Denver Nuggets, Beasley was traded to the Minnesota Timberwolves in a deal involving four teams and 12 players earlier this year.
He just re-signed with the Timberwolves as of November 27 and apparently has been enjoying the company of Larsa Pippen within the past week.
Beasley was also charged with felony threats of violence and fifth-degree drug possession back on October 30. Reportedly, Yao is also facing charges as part of that arrest.
Meanwhile, Larsa Pippen isn’t technically divorced yet. She and NBA legend Scottie Pippen are reportedly close to finalizing their divorce after being married since 1997. Larsa and Scottie currently have four children together from their marriage.

‘Greenland’ review: Comet hits Earth in bleak disaster movie
December 17, 2020 mediabest Lifestyle
Did Gerard Butler take acting lessons from the MGM Lion? He growls and snarls just like Leo in his latest role, as an engineer trying to save his wife and young son from an apocalyptic comet’s impact in “Greenland.”
Running time: 119 minutes. Rated PG-13 (intense sequences of disaster action, some violence, bloody images and brief strong language). On Demand.
Butler’s pretty bad — not horrible — but the movie itself is quite watchable, if a lot bleaker than your average disaster flick. “The Day After Tomorrow” and “Poseidon Adventure” did not, in my recollection, have cruel kidnappings of young boys or murders by hammer.
As a comet called Clarke approaches Earth, John (Butler) gets an automated text message from the Department of Homeland Security saying his family has been chosen for relocation. He’s told to head to Robins Air Force Base in Georgia with his wife Allison (Morena Baccarin), 8-year-old son Nathan (Roger Dale Floyd) — and no one else. They’re confused. Is it a test? The comet had Hale-Bopp-level excitement around it.
That’s when the family turns on the news and sees that a shard of the space rock has hit Florida. “TAMPA GONE,” the ticker says. Hop in the car, guys!
From then on, the revelations in director Ric Roman Waugh’s film are shrewdly unveiled. We learn John is one of a small number of highly skilled professionals who have been picked for survival in an underground base in Greenland: home to glaciers and a population the size of White Plains. Those not lucky enough to receive a government text turn to any method, including crime, to snag a spot on the planes. Chris Sparling’s script shows humanity at its worst.
Of course, it wouldn’t be much of a story if Butler and Co. just caught a flight and arrived on the island with ease. Roadblocks pop up that make their journey harrowing and sad. Much of the heft is owed to the smallest cast member, Floyd, a deep-feeling child actor who has a hard-hitting scene outside another air force base. Poor kid has to cry buckets.
The ending, however, is too squeaky clean and obvious to wrap up this messy story. It lacks any element of the unexpected, and we’ve all seen better CGI images of destroyed cities in disaster films for years. Roland Emmerich probably has a folder on his laptop full of them.
Whatever. As far as Butler’s films go, “Greenland” could have been so much worse. “The Bounty Hunter” was so awful, after watching it I felt like … a comet had just hit Earth!

Identity Review | #1 Digital Identity Reviews & News
Keep up with the digital identity landscape.
August 3, 2020 • By Identity Review
The End of the Password Protection Era
Beyond Identity announced that they have joined the FIDO alliance.
Passwords are used to protect everything from emails and social media accounts to bank and personal health information. As enterprises increasingly embrace digital transformation, though, it may be time for the password to evolve as well. Currently, the use of passwords is still a very standard form of security for users to protect their information and accounts. Although they do provide some amount of security, security breaches and hacks happen all too often.
Direct personal security is one issue with passwords. However, it is on the larger scale where the drawbacks of passwords become apparent. Large organizations and corporations store employee and user passwords in large databases. Although many of these databases are encrypted or hashed, their existence puts a huge target on companies, as password databases are one of the most easily monetized forms of stolen information. In fact, research from Digital Shadows found 15 billion stolen username and password combinations circulating on the dark web.
Furthermore, data breaches have been happening at a higher rate than ever despite supposed improvements to cybersecurity, and successful attacks have been conducted on high-profile companies as well. In the first half of 2019 alone, there were over 3,800 publicly disclosed data breaches and 4.1 million records exposed, including security breaches from Capital One, Evite, DoorDash, Georgia Tech University, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Evidently, there are many flaws in password protection that need to be addressed.
This past July, Beyond Identity, a passwordless identity management company, announced that it joined the FIDO Alliance. Beyond Identity startup with a mission to empower people and businesses to securely, privately, and effortlessly control their digital identities by restoring trust and building a secure way for user authentication and authorization.
About Beyond Identity
Beyond Identity was publicly launched in April of this year, by a team of founders including Jim Clark and TJ Jermoluk. The company created a new identity-based passwordless cybersecurity solution centered around the concept of personal certificate authority. In particular, Beyond Identity’s technology employs self-signed certificates on endpoint devices to fundamentally change the way users log in to a network. Through this, it extends the server-to-server chain of trust established with TLS to users and their devices.
About the FIDO Alliance
Founded in 2012 by industry veterans from Paypal, Lenovo, Nok Nok Labs, Validity Sensors, Infineon, and Agnitio, the FIDO (Fast Identity Online) Alliance is an open coalition that aims to reset authentication standards in order to reduce the world’s over-reliance on passwords. To work towards this goal, the FIDO Alliance focuses on:
Developing technical specifications that define an open, scalable, interoperable set of mechanisms that reduce the reliance on passwords
Operating industry certification programs to ensure successful worldwide adoption of the specifications
Submitting mature technical specifications to recognized standards development organizations for formal standardization
The creation of the FIDO Alliance was inspired by a discussion between Paypal and Validity Sensors regarding the use of biometrics for online user identification. Eight years since the seed of the concept, the FIDO Alliance has grown since then, and has deployed authorization solutions in companies including Google, Aetna, Salesforce, Facebook, Bank of America, and more. Furthermore, the Alliance also has liaison partnerships with companies and organizations such as the DIACC, W3C, Bluetooth, and more.
The Passwordless Future
Evidently, to keep up with the quickly-evolving technology industry, new security solutions are needed. This is where companies like Beyond Identity come into play.
“No one has ever said ‘I love my password.’ Nobody wants to create them, manage them, or change them. They would rather use some other easy, secure way to do it,” explained Patrick McBride, the CMO of Beyond Identity. “However, security’s usually a trade-off. If I dial up the risk management, make it less risky, I make it harder for users. So, the question becomes, can I improve risk and improve the user experience at the same time?”
The COVID-19 pandemic has only amplified this need for improved security solutions. With employees working remotely around the world, company resources, information, and data need to be accessible from virtually anywhere. So, regulating authentication and authorization in this new digital climate becomes even more difficult.
“In the old days of cybersecurity, you put firewalls in place, and there was this castle-and-moat idea of security—keep the bad guys out and let the good guys in. But let them into what? Nowadays, it’s about knowing who a person is, and knowing that you want to let that particular person in,” said McBride. “What firewalls used to do for the perimeter 10-15 years ago, identity now does for organizations. So, passwordless is step one—but it’s not enough. If you believe in this idea of identity being the new perimeter, you need not just strong authentication—you need risk-based authorization based on other telemetry data, like the security posture of the device you’re trying to access something with. With information about the device, you can make a risk-adjusted assessment about whether you want to let this person in using this particular device to this particular application.”
This new model of cybersecurity is only fitting for the increasingly digitized world, regardless of the pandemic forcing people to work from home. With the growth of the FIDO Alliance and companies like Beyond Identity, it is clear that a more secure and seamlessly interoperable authentication and authorization solution needs to be developed and widely implemented—and it seems to be that identity is the missing puzzle piece.

United Nations makes history on sexual orientation and gender identity
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on Thu, 06/30/2016 - 20:34
(for Immediate release)
United Nations Makes History
on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity
UN human rights body establishes an Independent Expert
(Geneva, June 30, 2016) - In a defining vote, the United Nations Human Rights Council adopted a resolution on “Protection against violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation, and gender identity”, to mandate the appointment of an Independent Expert on the subject.
It is a historic victory for the human rights of all persons who are at risk of discrimination and violence because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, 28 human rights groups said today. This resolution builds upon two previous resolutions, adopted by the Council in 2011 and 2014.
The Core Group of seven Latin American countries – Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Uruguay – and 41 additional countries jointly presented the text.
The resolution was adopted by a vote of 23 in favor, 18 against and 6 abstentions.
“This is truly momentous,” said Micah Grzywnowicz from the Swedish Federation for LGBTQ Rights, RFSL. “This is our opportunity to bring international attention to specific violations and challenges faced by transgender and gender non-conforming persons in all regions. It’s time for international community to take responsibility to ensure that persons at risk of violence and discrimination because of gender identity are not left behind.”
“It’s an historic resolution,” added Josefina Valencia from International LGBTI Association for Latin America and the Caribbean, ILGA LAC. “Latin America has played a very important role to build a common course for the advancement of our human rights. We are proud of the international solidarity and the commitment shown by States for equality.”
The positive vote responds to a joint campaign of a record 628 nongovernmental organizations from 151 countries calling on the Council to adopt the resolution and create the SOGI Independent Expert.
”It is important to note that around 70% of the organizations are from the global south,” said Yahia Zaidi of MantiQitna Network. “This is a powerful cross regional message of strength to the United Nations to protect the rights of LGBTI persons. The Independent Expert will be a focal point for all violations based on SOGI and hence help grassroots organizations to better utilize the otherwise complex labyrinth of the UN system.”
The Expert will be tasked with assessing implementation of existing international human rights law, identifying best practices and gaps, raising awareness of violence and discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity, engaging in dialogue and consultation with States and other stakeholders, and facilitating provision of advisory services, technical assistance, capacity-building and cooperation to help address violence and discrimination on these grounds.
“To have an Independent Expert can be a ‘game-changer’ in counter-acting violence which fuels the HIV epidemic in key populations and more specifically in LGBT communities,” said Alain Kra of Espace Confiance.
“It will ease the work of all human rights defenders and it is essential for our governments and people to have the knowledge on how to protect LGBT communities from any violence and discrimination they face,” added Joleen Mataele of the Tonga Leiti's Association.
Although a number of hostile amendments seeking to introduce notions of cultural relativism were adopted into the text by vote, the core of the resolution affirming the universal nature of international human rights law stood firm.
We hope that this resolution will mark a turning point in the struggle to create a world free from violence and discrimination for all people regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.

HomeHealth NewsResearchers identify genetic factors associated with hand-foot syndrome in chemotherapy with capecitabine
Researchers identify genetic factors associated with hand-foot syndrome in chemotherapy with capecitabine
Capecitabine is a chemotherapy drug used for breast and colorectal cancer. It can extend survival rate by nearly 10%. However, recent studies revealed that almost 50% of patients develop palmar-plantar erythrodysesthesia, a skin reaction also called hand-foot syndrome with mild to serious symptoms. Up to 17% of these patients can have a burning pain in their hands or feet that can prevent them from doing their usual activities. This adverse reaction is the main cause of dose reductions or therapy delays, with dangerous consequences for cancer patients.
There is, therefore, a pressing need to find predictive markers to identify those patients that are more likely to have this toxic reaction before the treatment starts. Patients might be classified according to their genetic risk and get personalized treatment accordingly.
Recently, a team of researchers led by Anna González-Neira, Head of the Human Genotyping-CEGEN Unit at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO), identified genetic markers associated with a higher risk to develop capecitabine-induced hand-foot syndrome. The study is being published in Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics.
The team carried out a genome-wide association study (GWAS) analyzing more than 600,000 genetic variants across the genome in 166 patients treated with capecitabine in three major hospitals: Gregorio Marañón University Hospital, Virgen de la Victoria Hospital and San Carlos Clinical Hospital.
“Our study identified regulatory variants that affect the levels of CDH4 mRNA and the protein it encode (R-cadherin), which is key to maintaining the normal structure of the skin,” explains Anna González Neira, corresponding author of the study. “The association of the genetic variants with the risk of developing the above-mentioned skin condition was replicated in a independent cohort of 85 new patients and validated in several functional studies,” she adds.
The CDH4 gene encodes R-cadherin, a protein in the epidermis that plays a relevant role in maintaining the good condition of the skin. The CNIO researchers found that patients who developed hand-foot syndrome during chemotherapy with capecitabine carried these regulatory variants that resulted in the reduced expression of CDH4, as compared to other patients.
“In addition, in human cell cultures, CDH4 down-regulation resulted in the reduced expression of involucrin, another skin protein that is essential for the skin barrier function,” González-Neira remarks.
In their observation of the normal skin of cancer patients before starting the treatment, the scientists at CNIO found that the patients with the alleles associated with a risk to develop the hand-foot syndrome had low levels of R-cadherin and involucrin before chemotherapy with capecitabine. The study results indicate that low levels of these two proteins could contribute to increase the cytotoxic effects of the drug. “This effect can be extremely severe in the palms of the hands and the soles of the feet for a number of reasons: epidermal cells divide at a high rate, there is a pressure and temperature effect on the palms and soles, and the numerous sweat glands on these parts of the body have a high drug concentration.”

Tornado one punch man
The massively popular anime and manga franchise One-Punch Man takes place in a world full of superheroes and monsters, with the heroes and villains each in their own organized associations to either save the world or destroy it. The second highest-ranked member of the Hero Association is Tatsumaki, the self-proclaimed Tornado of Terror,. While that might seem like a bold claim, Tatsumaki is still one of humanity's best hopes against the rise of the Monster Association, and we're taking a closer look at this psychic superhero and her role in the hit anime series. Tatsumaki is introduced as an S-class hero only tasked by the Hero Association to deal with threats worthy of her immense power. It is later revealed in the manga that Tatsumaki was taken from her family by the government at an early age so her incredible psychic abilities could be studied after her parents given a vast sum of money to comply.

Tatsumaki | One-Punch Man Wiki | Fandom
She is recognized as one of the Hero Association's most powerful heroes. She and her sister are known as the Psychic Sisters. Tatsumaki is a petite woman, commonly mistaken for being much younger than she really is. She has an adolescent face with emerald green eyes, and green hair that naturally curls up on the ends.
Tornado | One Punch Man
The series follows a superhero named Saitama and his disciple Genos who join the Hero Association so they can be recognized as such when they fight various monsters and villains. The Hero Association ranks all of its members by a Class and a ranking within that class. Characters listed are ones noted by the author in the manga profiles, ones that were highlighted in the anime character list, and ones that recur over several story arcs.
One-Punch Man 's "Monster Association Arc" has proven just how powerful the manga's various heroes and villains actually are, with many unleashing powerful, never-before-seen abilities in combat. However, things took a nasty twist for Tornado when Psychos merged with Lord Orochi, which allowed the villain to enhance her significant abilities. At first, it seemed as if Tornado was going to lose to Psychos, as the villain trapped the hero in one of her own barriers and used the pressure to crush her.

PHARMACOLOGIC TREATMENT OF HEART FAILURE
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is responsible for more than half a million deaths annually in the U.S., carries a 1-year mortality rate of more than 50% in patients with advanced forms of the condition. Substantive advances in CHF pharmacotherapy have altered clinical practice by shifting the paradigm of its management from exclusively symptom palliation to modification of disease progression and prolonged survival.
DEFINING CONGESTIVE HEART FAILURE. The onset and progression of clinically evident CHF from left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction follows a pathophysiologic sequence in response to an initial insult to myocardial dysfunction. A reduction in forward cardiac output leads to expanded activation of the sympathetic nervous system and the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone axis that, together, maintain perfusion of vital organs by increasing LV preload, stimulating myocardial contractility, and increasing arterial tone. Acutely, these mechanisms sustain cardiac output by allowing the heart to operate at elevated end-diastolic volumes, while peripheral vasoconstriction promotes regional redistribution of the cardiac output to the CNS, coronary, and renal vascular beds.
Unfortunately, these compensatory mechanisms over time propagate disease progression. Intravascular volume expansion increases diastolic and systolic wall stress that disrupts myocardial energetics and causes pathologic LV hypertrophy. By increasing LV afterload, peripheral arterial vasoconstriction also adversely affects diastolic ventricular wall stress, thereby increasing myocardial O2 demand. Finally, neurohumoral effectors such as NE and AngII are associated with myocyte apoptosis, abnormal myocyte gene expression, and pathologic changes in the extracellular matrix that increase LV stiffness.
Clinically, the term CHF describes a final common pathway for the expression of myocardial dysfunction. While some emphasize the clinical distinction between systolic versus diastolic heart failure, many patients demonstrate dysfunction in both contractile performance and ventricular relaxation/filling. Indeed, these physiologic processes are interrelated; for example, the rate and duration of LV diastolic filling are directly influenced by impairment in systolic contractile performance. The following definitions are useful for establishing a conceptual framework to describe this clinical syndrome:
Congestive heart failure is the pathophysiologic state in which the heart is unable to pump blood at a rate commensurate with the requirements of metabolizing tissues, or can do so only from an elevated filling pressure.
Heart failure is a complex of symptoms—fatigue, shortness of breath, and congestion—that are related to the inadequate perfusion of tissue during exertion and often to the retention of fluid. Its primary cause is an impairment of the heart's ability to fill or empty the left ventricle properly.
One may consider CHF as a condition in which failure of the heart to provide adequate forward output at normal end-diastolic filling pressures results in a clinical syndrome of decreased exercise tolerance with pulmonary and systemic venous congestion. Numerous cardiovascular comorbidities are associated with CHF, including coronary artery disease, MI, and sudden cardiac death.
The abnormalities of myocardial structure and function that ...

Queen and Prince Philip to celebrate Christmas 'quietly' in Windsor this year
By Karishma Sarkari| 2 months ago
The Queen and Prince Philip will not celebrate Christmas at Sandringham this year.
Her Majesty and the Duke of Edinburgh will break with tradition and instead spend the holidays at Windsor, for the first time in 32-years, due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
"Having considered all the appropriate advice, The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh have decided that this year they will spend Christmas quietly in Windsor," a Buckingham Palace spokesperson confirmed today.
As the UK prepares to leave its second lockdown on Wednesday, Windsor Castle will be put into Tier 2 restrictions, which means no mixing of households indoor and a 'rule of six' outdoors.
While these restrictions will be paused for five days over the festive period, allowing for up to three households to mix indoors, it appears the 94-year-old Queen and 99-year-old Duke will not be taking any chances.
Royal commentator Katie Nicholl tells 9Honey while it will be a "scaled back" celebration, it will still feel festive and familiar.
"Don't forget that she used to hold Christmas at Windsor up until 1988," Nicholl says.

"So a Christmas at Windsor, while not the norm, will still have a ring of familiarity to some members of the royal family."
Her Majesty had already cancelled the annual Buckingham Palace Christmas Party for family and staff.
And it was reported the Christmas service at St Mary's Magdalene Church on the Sandringham estate had been called off, in part, to deter locals from lining the pathways to give their best wishes and get a glimpse of the royals on the holiday.

The Queen has spent much of 2020 at Windsor Castle, spending the first lockdown there and even recording a special address to the nation and Commonwealth to boost morale during the pandemic.

Blue Bell lecture educates on food safety
Staff Writeron February 17, 2016 /0 comments
Blue Bell has been in Texans’ watchful eyes since the spread of listeria in 2015. Although it was made public that the outbreak was caused by listeria, the investigation is still not over.
English Professor Michael Demson, Ph.D., helped coordinate an event to promote the investigation on Blue Bell. Sam Houston State welcomed investigative journalist Mark Collete from The Houston Chronicle to speak about his research into the Blue Bell fiasco.
“We decided to take what happened with Blue Bell as a case study for some larger issues the United States is facing,” Demson said.
The Honors College, English Department, LEAP Center and Writing in the Disciplines pitched in together to show the students different perspectives.
The event originally began as an Honors College seminar, but Demson and biology professor Patrick Lewis realized they had some research in common.
“We realized we had overlap in the field of food politics,” Demson said.
Demson and Lewis decided to create the seminar because they had an interest in cultural economic and social consequences of food production consolidation.
Demson reached out to Collette to ask if he was willing to run a seminar, and then later a public lecture to not only educate the audience, but give them perspective.
“It’s a good opportunity for students to see how their own academic work can connect with the professional world,” Demson said.
Demson said this lecture goes beyond just Blue Bell. He expressed the importance of consumer knowledge regarding the food we purchase and digest every day.
“Learning about this is so fundamental,” Demson said. “You eat multiple times so it is an opportunity to stop and think about what you’re eating and where it came from.”
Although the U.S. has increased food regulation policies, Demson said our food can still have problems.
“It’s the safest food we’ve ever seen but in other ways it’s introduced all types of problems to our society,” Demson said.
Demson explained the public lecture helped the community better understand the investigation process through Collette’s own experience.
“Mark Collette, even though from Houston, he allows us to engage with Brenham and understand what is going on there,” Demson said. “Potentially understanding our role in either supporting or regulating or engaging with not only Brenham, but the people of Brenham.”
Senior Jenna Jacobs is a native Brenham resident and also a former Blue Bell employee. Jacobs explained what working for the company was like.
“It was almost like family,” Jacobs said. “I loved it.”
Jacobs was a tour guide at Blue Bell, and didn’t know about the outbreak until everyone else did.
“I found out through the news because I wasn’t there at the facility,” Jacobs said. “What you heard on the news was as much as I knew at that point.”
Demson agreed that most Texans were in some sort of shock, and disappointment, after the story broke.
“It was definitely a different atmosphere after everything happened,” Demson said. “Especially at Blue Bell. Definitely different.”
Naturally, questions of Blue Bell’s safety precautions arose.
“As a tour guide we had a lot of safety precautions,” Jacobs said. “You wash your hands about 100 times a day. If your hands got raw from washing it so much, we wore gloves.”
As a Brenham native Jacobs said Blue Bell was loved not only all over Texas, but especially through the community.
“I eat a lot of Blue Bell,” she said. “I mean growing up in that town, they had others in the grocery store but you support your home town.”
Demson agreed Blue Bell is a Texas staple.
“I’m not from Texas but I’ve come to see how old the company is and how much it is beloved,” Demson said. “I think most people want Blue Bell to pull through this and they want to see it come back.”
Many people have mixed feelings about Blue Bell, but at the end of the day many Texans believe that little girl is still going to pull that cow forward.

The History of JanakpurdhamCity on Their Backs: Poems and Photos from the Streets of Kathmandu
SKU: HBE 61 Categories: English Books, HIMAL BOOKS
by Raimund O.A. Becker-Ritterspach
2016, pp.128 (including color plates)
This study considers stone and brick temples related to the north Indian śikhara with an ambulatory structure. The focus is on those temple types showing amalgamation with local temple concepts and stylistic features in Bengal and in Nepal.
In Bengal, the focus is on sanctuaries belonging to the group of ratna-style temples built between the 16th and 19th centuries CE. Ratna-style temples have to be seen in a wider context as a sub-group of the typical temple with a curvilinear roof of Bengal.
In the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal, the investigation focuses on śikhara temples with an ambulatory gallery built from the 17th century CE onwards and on domed temples showing Islamic influence built since 1800 CE .
The objective of this study is to explain the different typological approaches in both regions with the aim of discovering local architectural solutions for the same function.
Raimund O.A. Becker-Ritterspach was born, 1942 in Berlin, and is an architect and scholar of building history. He was head of the restoration team of the Bhaktapur Development Project, Nepal, from 1974 – 79. His Ph. D. thesis, Design Principles of the Architecture of the Kathmandu Valley – with particular reference to construction and form, was subsequently published in 1982 (in German).
Dr. Becker-Ritterspach has published a number of research projects, mainly in the field of Nepalese architecture, which were partly sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG). A book on Water Conduits in the Kathmandu Valley has mainly to be mentioned here (1995). Between 1970 and 1979 and after his retirement in 2007, the author was assigned to various projects, working with national and international organizations which are assisting developing countries in Asia, Africa and South America. Since 1980 until 2007, he has been employed in a senior position in the German building administration.

Breeze Hill (HM46P)
Location: Harrisburg, PA 17104 Dauphin County
Buy Pennsylvania State flags at Flagstore.com!
Quietly nestled at the corner of 21st Street and Bellevue Road is a true historic landmark: the home of the internationally recognized founder of the American Civic Association and modern-day American Rose Society, J. Horace McFarland (1859-1948). It was here on the original 2.4-acre "pie-shaped" lot that one of the most widely known gardens in America was established. The energies of McFarland in bringing national attention to Harrisburg's City Beautiful plan, in advancing the cause of scenic preservation and in working to establish the National Park System, was nurtured and renewed from this place, his home and his land. It was here that McFarland developed what would become one of the world's test gardens for the cultivation of new rose varieties, extensively photographed through early color glass plate processing and published with other seed catalogues and gardening books at his nearby Mount Pleasant Press at Mulberry and Crescent Streets. McFarland bought the property in 1909 from Louis Haehnlen whose father, Jacob, had built the Italianate-styled house in 1876 with surrounding vineyard from which the "Belle Vue Winery" would evolve. McFarland lived here, at Breeze Hill until his death after which his daughter Helen, who resided here until her passing in 1980, subdivided much of the original tract for the construction of three homes in the late 1950's. Breeze Hill, however, nobly stands today in its original form as a monument to McFarland's legacy in the creation of adjacent Bellevue Park and to the contribution which Harrisburg made as a leader in the Progressive Movement in the United States of the early 20th Century.

‘The Bold and the Beautiful’ Spoilers: Hope Surprises Thomas – Turn Of Events Possible
By Sean O'Brien Last updated Dec 19, 2019
The Bold and the Beautiful spoilers tease that Hope Logan (Annika Noelle) has learned from what’s happened this year on show. She told Thomas Forrester (Matthew Atkinson), in no uncertain terms no less, that he would not be her Hope For The Future designer. How about that!
Kudos to B&B’s writing staff for inserting this wrinkle into the arc. Sure, Thomas isn’t expected to back off, as he’s still obsessed with Hope. But altering the trajectory of the storyline this time means a pattern can form, maybe including an even more decisive new order.
Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Douglas Forrester Needs To Win
No truly kind-hearted person is hoping that Hope, or Thomas defeats the other. The best case scenario has Thomas either acknowledging that he needs serious mental health treatment, as Brooke Logan Forrester (Katherine Kelly Lang) has been saying, or he’s somehow made to receive it. In either instance, Thomas will enter the path to healing and therefore become a better father for his son.
Douglas Forrester (Henry Joseph Samiri) is a poor soul. He lost his mother, but thankfully bonded with Hope. Her selfless generosity led to shared custody, which gives Douglas one stable parent.
Moving forward, Douglas would be best served if Thomas and Hope can get along, rather than continue to try and outwit each other. The status quo is counterproductive and exhausting for them and the viewers.
The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers: Monday, December 16 – Zoe Spills The Tea On Thomas After Steffy & Liam Find Her – Brooke Hopes Ridge Will Reconsider
B&B Spoilers – Thomas Forrester Must Reform, Not Recalculate
Thomas has an inferiority complex. That fronts his brags, schemes, and general state of being.
He doesn’t see life as it is, but rather as he thinks it should be. Thomas is unable to understand that he should be pursuing his own personal development, not seeing Hope as a prize to be won.
The Beth Spencer (Madeline Valdez and River Davidson) reveal, the cliff fall, and the plunge into the vat haven’t served to alter Thomas’ outlook. He’s recalculated, rather than sought to reform himself. Until that dynamic changes, Thomas will remain unsettled and therefore unpredictably dangerous.
The Bold and the Beautiful Spoilers Monday, December 16: Liam & Steffy Find Zoe, Who Spills Details About Thomas – Brooke Hopes Ridge Will Change His Mind https://t.co/i5QMk8D8MA pic.twitter.com/PRcqn1RZ5F
Bold And The Beautiful Spoilers – Hope Logan’s Influence Must Be Used Wisely
Hope used the sway she has over Thomas for another positive purpose, following her adoption of Douglas. By rejecting Thomas’ pitch to work together, she was using her understood influence to teach Atkinson’s character a lesson.

After earning a BA in Communications, Sean began his professional career in the Scranton-Wilkes/Barre Red Barons’ front office (the Philadelphia Phillies former Triple-A affiliate). He later worked as a print sports writer. During this millennium – Sean became a state licensed school teacher, the author of the children’s book Maddie: Teaching Tolerance with a Smile, and a credentialed sports columnist. He’s also been a longtime soap opera loyalist.

25+ Reasons Neil deGrasse Tyson is One of the Funniest Scientists of All Time
Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the funniest scientist ever. Here are 25+ examples that prove this is indeed the case.
By Christopher McFadden
Bruce F Press/Wikimedia Commons
Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of the most prolific and high profile astrophysicists of our current age. He is also, quite probably, one of the funniest scientists of all time! And today is his 60th birthday!
The Life and Times of the Famous Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson
He has spent an entire career helping the general public understand the complexities of his field of expertise, often in an easy-to-digest and entertaining manner. But he doesn't 'suffer fools' easily either.
His fascination with the cosmos and quest of knowledge is highly contagious and is helped by his kind manner and showmanship during delivery. He surely is one of the most entertaining science educators around.
The following 25+ examples are proof positive of the man's incredible wit and playful nature. Happy birthday Neil!
1. Carpooling with Neil is great fun, especially in a NASA Mars Rover
Neil recently went on a joy ride with Stephen Cobert in NASA's Mars Rover on the Late Show. Not only was it an interesting tour of the rover but the pair had a great time 'cruising' around.
They even found time to stop off and get some groceries, conduct a Mars Rover and Dozen Egg experiment and explore some interesting facts about seats on Mars.
If you ever find deGrasse Tyson hitching a lift, if this is anything to go by, don't pass up the opportunity. You will not regret it!
2. Everything is a social construct, right? Let's ask Neil
The professor's Smart Phone is based on a thousand facts of science. The only social construct is the social media enabled by it.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) October 18, 2017
Everything is a social construct, right? Although certain things are relative and open to opinion, scientific empirical methodology most certainly is not.
The very claim that this could be the case shows a complete lack of understanding of science and its processes. Thankfully when people point this out on platforms like Twitter, Neil deGrasse Tyson has got their back.
3. deGrasse Tyson is also an expert dietitian
Wanna lose 1200 Calories a month? Drink a liter of ice water a day. You burn the energy just raising the water to body temp.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) May 27, 2010
If the last example wasn't enough evidence of this man's many talents he can also offer you some advice on weight loss.
Since we all struggle to keep the weight off Neil has, in the past, offered some practically free methods of getting into shape. Who needs to spend thousands at the gym or be miserable following a strict diet plan.
Thanks again Neil, you're a star!
4. Even the undead are not safe from Neil's wit
Dracula & other undead people who sleep in coffins must have good abs. They always rise up flat-backed when the casket opens.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) August 3, 2014
Have you ever wondered how Dracula and other undead are able to get up so easily from lying flat on their back? No neither have we, but Neil has.
He makes a very good point. The problem is you'll never be able to watch these scenes again without giggling, or perhaps, trying to check out how buff they are.
5. Father Chrismas's other reindeer aren't safe from Neil either
Male & female Reindeer grow antlers, but males lose them in winter. All Santa’s reindeer, Rudolph too, are therefore female.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) December 25, 2015
Not content with destroying everyone's cherished childhood memories of Rudolph he couldn't let the other reindeer get off scot-free.
As he quite correctly points out all reindeer grow antlers but only one sex sheds them at winter time. This might just give us a clue as to the actual true nature of Ol' Saint Nick's preferred beasts of burden.
Again thanks, Neil!
6. He is full of useful health and safety information
Just an FYI: If you removed all veins, arteries, & capillaries from your body and laid them end to end, you will die.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) July 26, 2012
Just in case you need some advice on how not to die when you go about your day it might be worth following Neil deGrasse Tyson. Not only is he highly proficient in the field of Astrophysics, but his knowledge of Human Biology is second to none.
Take this piece of sage advice for example - just in case you were tempted to try it at home.
7. It seems Neil should always be consulted on matters of science in sci-fi films
In Terminator, only living things can time-travel. But hair is dead. So Arnold should've landed in LA not only naked but bald
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) December 8, 2010
Scriptwriters really should do their homework before finalizing their work. Neil makes a very good point about the plot of the Terminator, for example.
Although it's far from the biggest issue people have with the plot, it's certainly one many of us probably completely missed. But who said blockbuster movies had to be completely consistent with reality - it is science fiction after all.
8. What do we call people from Venus?
Anyone from Venus is formally a Venereal, but Doctors got to the word before astrophysicists, so we invented Venutian instead
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) March 15, 2012
What would we call aliens or future human colonists from Venus? Although it is probably academic (it's hard to imagine anything surviving there), it's fun to think about.
It seems Neil deGrasse Tyson thinks so too. Apparently, they should technically be called Venereal(s) but that might not go down too well. Neil explains further in a tweet from 2012.
9. Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn't just restrict his tweets to science-based topics
Does it disturb anyone else that "The Los Angeles Angels" baseball team translates directly to "The The Angels Angels"?
Neil deGrasse Tyson, ever the curious mind, will often let his mental ramblings show in the public forum of Twitter. A prime example is his musings on some of the oddities on sports teams' names.
Perhaps you've also wondered the same but he certainly has a good point. How many more are there out there we wonder?
10. Neil deGrasse Tyson knows exactly how to cheer you up
In 5-billion years the Sun will expand & engulf our orbit as the charred ember that was once Earth vaporizes. Have a nice day
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) September 30, 2013
We all have up and down days. What's really important in life though is having people around you who know exactly what to say to cheer you up.
Neil deGrasse Tyson is one of those people and if you're not lucky enough to know him in real life you can always just follow him on Twitter. Have a nice day now!
Yeah, thanks, Neil!
11. Neil is great at helping out people with basic explanations
That’s why we have telescopes (and other tools of science). They allow us to know things from far away, without ever going there.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) April 8, 2018
We are in an age of widespread science denial from all sides of the political compass. Although scientific progress is based and grounded on skepticism, some go beyond the pale.
But to be fair with this Twitter user, unless you're interested in science this is a fair question.
Luckily for them, Neil was online at the right time to enlighten them with some basics of scientific instrumentation. Now they have no excuse to not know.
12. Neil's famous Flat-Earther smackdown
The cities in the background are approx. 16miles apart... where is the curve ? please explain this pic.twitter.com/YCJVBdOWX7
— B.o.B (@bobatl) January 25, 2016
@bobatl Duude — to be clear: Being five centuries regressed in your reasoning doesn’t mean we all can’t still like your music
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) January 25, 2016
You might all remember his famous run-in with Flat Earther Rapper B.o.B back in 2016. This was around the height in the growth of popularity of the Flat-Earth movement with B.o.B being the latest high profile denier to voice his thoughts on the concept.
Neil deGrasse Tyson clearly had had enough and decided to tackle B.o.B head-on via Twitter. In typical deGrasse style, he promptly responded with his own opinion on the matter.
Of course, this wasn't the end of the matter. A short "dis" song battle ensued with Neil coming out the ultimate victor.
13. Not all apps are on your smartphone
( No need to ask me where I looked up these numbers - I didn’t. I calculated them myself. It's called the "Brain App” )
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) February 3, 2014
With the entirety of human knowledge now available to all of us at our fingertips, it seems many of us have forgotten how to actually think. Perhaps Einstein (well the Einstein-inspired character in the 1995 film Powder) was right when he said "I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction. The world will have a generation of idiots."
But as Neil points out not all of us have become that reliant on technology, just yet.
14. Sometimes it's best to take precautions - even with science experiments
Neil deGrasse Tyson risks life and limb to help you understand the basics of science. He is a true hero and educator whose every living moment is dedicated to enlightening everyone.
In his demonstration of the principles of the pendulum helps us understand why we should trust the laws of science. Or not as the case may be.
In case you're wondering this is an extract from Season 1 Episode 6 of "Deeper, Deeper, Deeper Still" from Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey.
15. Tackling the Moon landing conspiracy
Our collectives association of EM radio waves with sound is strong. Was one of the first ways we exploited that band of light. EM waves can carry information that we convert to sound on the receiving end. We sometimes do that with cosmic sources.
Much like the Flat Earther movement, the Moon landing hoax fallacy has gained some traction in recent years. In February of this year, Neil deGrasse Tyson took on a Moon Hoax conspiracy theorist in typical deGrasse Tyson-tact.
After one Twitter user thought that they had "slam-dunk" evidence it was faked Neil stepped in to help explain the basics of Electromagnetic Radiation.
16. The man just keeps giving with his useful advice
Just an FYI: In a mirror, you can only kiss yourself on the lips.
Which parts of yourself can you kiss in the mirror? Not that many apparently according to Neil deGrasse Tyson.
Well not just according to Neil, according to the laws of nature and human biology of course.
17. The Terminator is not the only one with issues
From issues with Sandra Bullock's character in Gravity to The Martian. Neil is famous for making his expert opinions known about movies and the issues with their depiction of reality. In the following talk, he takes on three of the biggest recent sci-fi blockbusters and tears them to pieces.
To be fair he has some very valid points but his criticisms are delivered in a very hilarious manner.
18. This one seems legit
QUESTION: What were the very first straws made of? ANSWER: Straw.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) February 17, 2014
What were the first straws made of? Why do we even call them straws?
Don't worry Neil deGrasse Tyson has you covered, as usual.
Interestingly though our first evidence of drinking tubes was from the Ancient Sumerians in 3000 BC. It seems they used to use long metal cylinders of precious metals to reach their even more precious beer below the fermentation byproducts.
19. Tyson makes no bones about his love for science
I love the smell of the universe in the morning.
Anyone who has seen Neil deGrasse Tyson's presentation or interviews is immediately struck by his absolute love for all things science. His dedication to knowledge is palpable and he cannot help but contain his passion for the subject.
Oftentimes this spills over to other media like Twitter. This tweet is a prime example and might just reveal his love for an iconic film.
Just maybe.
20. Well that really takes the fun out of Christmas, thanks Neil
According to the song, Rudolph's nose is shiny, which means it reflects rather than emits light. Useless for navigating fog.
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer might be a bit of a charlatan according to Neil deGrasse Tyson. Although the famous song lyrics clearly state it's shiny, and depictions in films tend to show it glowing, Neil has 'got his number'.
Thanks to the powers of scientific knowledge we finally know the answer to Rudolph's little dirty secret. Naughty Rudolph!
21. Yeah nobody asked you, Neil...
Not that anybody asked, but the symbol "lb" for pound comes from an abbreviation of the constellation Libra, the scales.
Don't you just hate it when people drop useful information into your life without asking? Take the derivation of the names for some of our units of measurement.
Most of us are content to live our lives simply knowing they exist without having to take up brain space about their origins. Yet Neil seems to take perverse pleasure in unauthorized knowledge giving.
22. Neil rocks the house in Celebrity Family Feud
How do you pronounce Uranus exactly? This and many other funny moments really reveal Neil deGrasse Tyson's sense of humor on his appearance on ABC's Celebrity Family Feud last year.
According to Neil, it's only acceptable to pronounce it "Your-Anus" until the age of 8. Host Steve didn't take too well to that (seeing as he's 60 years old). Of course, the exchange was all in jest.
23. Neil deGrasse Tyson never hides his views on NASA
Apollo in 1969. Shuttle in 1981. Nothing in 2011. Our space program would look awesome to anyone living backwards thru time.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) July 8, 2011
Neil deGrasse Tyson has long advocated for increasing NASA's budget. He has often been seen arguing that "it is the most powerful agency in the dreams of the nation".
deGrasse Tyson has even testified in front of the US Senate Science Committee about NASA's underfunding.
"Right now, NASA's annual budget is half a penny on your tax dollar. For twice that—a penny on a dollar — we can transform the country from a sullen, dispirited nation, weary of economic struggle, to one where it has reclaimed its 20th-century birthright to dream of tomorrow."
It should, then, come as no surprise that he continues the debate on social media like Twitter. He does have a point.
24. Have you ever wondered what Neil's rap name would be?
We've all seen those "What would your Wrestler Name Be?" type posts on social media but what would Neil deGrasse Tyson's rap name be? Apparently, it’s a question he has put some thought to.
On a podcast held during the B.o.B debacle mentioned earlier, Neil reveals his answer.
Given his profession and love of all things science, it should come as no surprise that it would, in fact, be MC2. Of course - what else?
25. Possibly the best email sign-off of all time
Geek e-mail signoff: No trees were killed to send this message, but a large number of electrons were terribly inconvenienced.
— Neil deGrasse Tyson (@neiltyson) April 28, 2011
We are all familiar with those disclaimers at the ends of films or some emails. Things like "no animals were harmed" or no "trees were killed sending this message" etc.
Obviously, neither of these and more do not apply to electronic forms of communication. Therefore they are obviously the most ethical means of sending information and data to have ever existed, right?
It seems this assumption is completely wrong according to the Neil deGrasse Tyson. He suggests we should probably all add the following disclaimer/sign-off to the end of our emails as a matter of urgency.
Those poor electrons.
26. deGrasse Tyson can also Moon Walk
Did you know that even famous astrophysicists are fans of Michael Jackson? We know incredible isn't it?
Here's proof positive of the man's many talents and love for one of the most iconic and prolific musicians of our time.
On a panel show for Star Talk Live in 2013 Neil shows off his sweet moves by treating the crowd to his own version of MJ's most famous dance move - The Moon Walk.
27. Do you know any jokes about Sodium?
More evidence my 14yr old daughter is a Geek: after prompting me to ask if she knew any jokes about sodium, she replied, "Na"
"Out of the mouths of babes" as the famous saying goes. To anyone who is a parent, they will attest to the wisdom of this timeless adage.
Neil deGrasse Tyson's two children, Miranda and Travis, must have a 'whale of a time' being brought up by their dad. After all, as we have seen their father's wit is no world famous.
It seems some of this has rubbed off on at least his daughter. To be fair this is an old joke but it never gets boring.
28. Not all constellations have cool names
The most boring constellation: Triangulum Australis. A profound lack of imagination - any 3 stars in the sky makes a triangle
From Ursa Major, Andromeda to Orion, many of the constellations we can easily see in the night's sky have some awesome names. Although a few of them look nothing like their namesakes when you first view them, others really do conjure up images of mythical beasts and ancient heroes.
But, as Neil deGrasse Tyson points out, some of them do have very lackluster names indeed. One prime example is Triangulum Australis.

Suicide is the third most common cause of death among adolescents globally, and poisoning is the leading method of attempted suicide. Survival after self-poisoning or drug overdose (OD) is common, providing an opportunity for secondary prevention. The aim of this study was to highlight pattern of presentations and preceding factors of OD in an adolescent population. We retrospectively evaluated the data of 85 adolescents presenting to a large regional hospital with OD over a 3-year period. The female-to-male ratio was 4.3:1. The median age of adolescents was 15.83 (range: 11.32 – 16.98) years. History of deliberate self-harm (DSH) was documented in 44.7%. Twenty-eight (33%) patients had been under the care of the CAMHS prior to index admission. Acetaminophen was the commonest drug used. Depression was the most common cause of mental illness in the study group. Substance abuse and conduct disorder were significantly commoner in males (p<0.05). Self-poisoning including OD in adolescence is a strong predictor of suicide; understanding the probable triggers can be significant in establishing appropriate prevention strategies.
Self-poisoning may be defined as the self-exposure of an individual (by ingestion, inhalation, absorption through the skin, or injection) to an amount of drug, toxin (biological or non-biological), or other chemicals associated with the significant potential to cause harm. Self-poisoning can be accidental or deliberate, fatal or non-fatal. Drug overdose (OD) applies to drugs ingested, injected, inhaled or applied topically. Suicide is one of the major causes of death in many populations, particularly adolescents. It is the second leading cause of death among those aged 15-24 years in the USA1. World Health Organisation (WHO) reported that upwards of 800,000 people commit suicide all over the world, with one death by suicide every 40 seconds2. While the annual suicide incidence decreased from 12.5 to 10.4 per 100 000 persons in the 1990s, incidence has been rising again since the 2000s3. Self-harm is the strongest risk factor for future suicide4,9. [Intentional self-poisoning including drug overdose has also been reported as the most common method of self-harm among patients admitted to the hospital for deliberate self-harm (DSH)5.
Public health interventions aim to reduce the morbidity and mortality of self-poisoning by limiting the availability of potentially toxic medications to at-risk-populations. For example, European data has shown that limiting acetaminophen package size has reduced the morbidity and mortality in acetaminophen ingestions6. An understanding of the preceding factors and potential triggers of self-poisoning/drug overdose may aid in the development of specific intervention strategies. Completed suicide and deliberate self-harm show considerable overlap; therefore, aftercare management of self-harm is as important in the prevention of suicide, as detection of young people who may be predisposed to attempting suicide. The aim of this study was to evaluate the presentations and preceding factors of drug overdose in an adolescent population in a large regional hospital.
This was a retrospective data analysis of all adolescents seen at the Paediatric emergency unit of Cork University Hospital for drug overdose from January 2014 to December 2016 inclusive. The data was retrieved from the Hospital Inpatient Enquiry (HIPE) system. This was carried out to evaluate the presentations of drug overdose, the drugs used, and the preceding factors or possible medical background related to the events. Details of drug overdose and preceding factors were collected from the respective medical charts. Ethical approval was not required because of the nature of the study. The study was approved by the Clinical Governance Unit of Cork University Hospital.
The data included the patients’ demographics, details surrounding events, mode of presentation, care and outcome. These were recorded on excel spread sheet 2010. Statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SSPS version 21.0). Statistical significance was set at P < 0.05. Correlations between variables were analysed using either Fischer’s exact or Chi square tests.
HIPE system grouped 285 cases of drug overdose (OD) and non-drug related self-harm as deliberate self-harm (DSH). Out of 285 patients, 85 were coded as OD. Medical charts of all 85 patients were available and analysed. Sixty-nine (81.2%) were females. The median age at presentation was 15.83 (range: 11.32 – 16.98) years. The median time from event to hospital presentation was 2.6 (range: 0.16–60) hours. The mean length of hospital stay was 2.24 (range: 1-21) days.
Preceding factors/ background
Thirty-eight (44.7%) adolescents had a history of deliberate non-drug related self-harm while 14.1% (n=12) were previously seen for deliberate self-poisoning/OD. Depression was the most common mental health problem associated with OD. Ten (11.7%) patients were documented to have left a suicide note prior to events. Figure 1 shows other mental and mental related illnesses. Other preceding factors were grouped into unstable family dynamics, family history of mental illness, social problems, romantic break ups amongst others (Figure 2). Certain factors had gender predilection; substance abuse and conduct disorder were more common in males (p < 0.05). Correlations of several probable triggers and gender are shown in Table 1.
Drugs Implicated
The commonest agents of overdose were analgesics (n = 83) with acetaminophen ranking top over non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and aspirin at 67.5% (56/83). Other drugs overdosed included antidepressants, antipsychotics, antibiotics, antihistamines (Figure 3). Forty-six (54.1%) presented with polypharmacy overdose. Three patients (3.5%) inhaled aerosol of kitchen spray. Concomitant Alcohol (Vodka) and drug overdose was documented in 17.6% (15/85).
In-hospital Care
Thirty-three out of 56 patients with paracetamol OD were treated with N-Acetylcysteine (NAC) based on calculated acetaminophen dose > 150mg/kg and/or treatment point on the graph depending on time of presentation. Seven (21.2%) had deranged liver function tests and coagulation profile. Two patients who presented less than 60 minutes after paracetamol overdose received activated charcoal. Of all patients reviewed, 33% (28/85) had been under the care of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) with a diagnosis. Seventy-one (83.5%) patients were reviewed by the CAMHS team before discharge. Medical Social worker assessed 13% (11/85) before discharge. Twelve (14%) patients were readmitted for drug overdose; 83% females. The readmissions occurred within an interval of 0.25 and 20 months in the study period.
Six (7.1%) patients were transferred to Eist Linn Cork, a Child and Adolescent In-patient unit for mental health services. Only one patient was intubated and transferred to Intensive Care Unit following polypharmacy (alprazolam, zopiclone and fluoxetine) overdose. There was no mortality recorded in the study population.
This retrospective study was undertaken to evaluate the presentations of adolescents to the Paediatric Emergency department with OD. The preceding factors and possible triggers were assessed as well. Only one subject had no documented preceding factor or medical background that might have accounted for OD. The females (81%) were more represented in this study which is no different from several studies7. Majority (70/85) were between ages 14 and 16 years. The numbers in this study probably represent only the tip of the ice berg, as it is likely that substantial numbers of recorded self-poisoning occur in the community8. There may be gender differences in terms of preceding factors of self-harm. Approximately 40% of the males evaluated had a history of substance abuse. Conduct disorder was seen commonly in males. There was no significant gender difference in depression in this study.
44% of the subjects seen during this study period had a history of non-drug related self-harm including cutting skin, hanging and near drowning. Self-harm; even that performed outside of a suicide attempt is well known to be a major risk factor for future suicide attempts; as such, intense efforts should be made to reduce or prevent incidents of self-harm, irrespective of the type4,9. Suicide attempts are not accidents but are deliberate actions taken by individuals as ‘a cry for help’. The importance of investigating preceding factors and life stressors on suicide attempts has been highlighted10,11. No mortality was recorded in this study but 14% re-presented with OD within a two-year period of the study. This might be a pointer that a lot still needs to be put in place. Following local guidelines, any patient seen in the Paediatric emergency department for OD should be assessed by CAMHS before discharge and subsequently followed up if deemed necessary. A consult for medical social work (MSW) input is also sent during the index presentation. However, not all these patients get to be seen by either CAMHS or MSW before discharge. This might be accounted for by limited manpower and unavailability of on-call CAMHS and MSW team as majority of these cases are seen during on-call hours.
The youngest patient in this study was aged 11 years, and incidence increased with age among both genders. Most of the subjects were between ages 14 and 16 years. This shift in incidence with age may be due to a range of factors, such as increasing prevalence of psychiatric disorders, lifestyle, life events, and problems, and social influences12-16. O’Connor et al15 demonstrated that smoking, drug use, bullying, physical abuse, sexual orientation worries, serious boyfriend/girlfriend problems and self-harm by friends or family were associated with self-harm as lifestyle, life events and problems, and social influences. In our study, break ups with boyfriend or girlfriend accounted for 13% of possible triggers of OD. Other social stressors unravelled in this study comprised cyber bullying, moving houses, worry over sexual orientation, and coping with school stress. This was akin to a study by Hawton et al which represented a distinct pattern of deliberate self-harm in under 15-year olds17.
Moreover, the prevalence of psychiatric disorders which is one of the important causes of self-harm dramatically increased during adolescence13,14. Co-existence of risk factors has been found to increase the probability of self-harm compared to existence of only one factor11,18. Family history of mental illness is another crucial factor in self-harm. Seventy-five percent of the patients with a family history of depression (mother and maternal grand-mother) were also on treatment for depression. Suicide of a parent was documented in three patients, and all had history of non-drug related self-harm. Hiremath et al in a large retrospective study described the significantly high rate of pre-existing mental illness in their adolescent cohort19.
Incidence of self-harm was seen to be higher in females, possibly due to the high incidence of psychiatric disorders among girls compared to boys14. An international study across seven European countries showed the female cohorts shared similarities in reasonable aspects20. Graber et al postulated that puberty might be a plausible explanation for the high incidence of self-harm in adolescents21. Puberty might cause lack of synchrony between age and cognitive development and consequently place them at risk of self-harm.
Over the counter medications are the commonest agents used by young people to harm themselves. Our study depicted paracetamol as the first on the list, followed by other NSAIDs before benzodiazepines. The large Australian study showed the common agents of OD to be paracetamol, NSAIDs and SSRI in descending order19.
A recent meta-analysis has shown that active interventions among adolescents following an instance of self-harm helped prevent self-harm and suicide22. Studies22,23 have shown effectiveness of active and gender-specific interventions; comprehensive measures of self-harm prevention for adolescents should be taken. This research may inform public health authorities on the important preceding factors of drug overdose and other forms of self-harm and interrelations among these factors to establish appropriate intervention strategies.
To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study in Ireland that has specifically evaluated the presentations and preceding factors of OD in adolescents seen in Paediatric settings. The limitations of this study could be ascribed to its small sample size and retrospective nature. However, the aim of this study was to highlight a pattern of probable triggers and underlying circumstances that may increase the risk of self-harm. Drug overdose as a means of self-harm is a strong predictor of suicide and premature deaths in adolescence and identifies a high-risk group for targeted secondary prevention. Gender differences may be considered in the assessment, prevention, and management of future self-harm or suicides by community policy-makers and clinicians.

Former Police Officer And Veteran Donates Large Life Financial savings To Animal Shelter
By Dana Kelley On Dec 3, 2020
A former police officer has continued to save lives even after his death. This time, it’s four-legged lives that he has dedicated to serve.
Kenneth Thweatt was a police officer in Michigan after serving in the Vietnam War. His wife died approximately 10 years ago and when Thweatt recently passed away from heart disease, there was no one to collect his life savings.
He told a local news station in 2018 that he suffered from PTSD, depression, and anxiety as a result of his service. For many veterans like Mr. Thweatt, the love and dedication of a cat or dog is simply irreplaceable.
You see, Thweatt had no next of kin to be found. That is except for his cat that he adopted in 2017, who gave him companionship until he died. Thweatt’s hefty life savings of $57,000 was generously donated to the Oakland County Animal Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center.
What does this mean for the shelter? A LOT!
Thweatt’s Donation Will Save Lives And Prolong Snuggles
Thweatt’s last heroic act of selflessness and generosity will now give countless animals a second chance at life. The money has been allocated to help moms and dads of furbabies cover unexpected medical expenses, oftentimes giving these families more afternoons playing in the dog park or evenings snuggled on the couch.
Joanie Toole is the manager of the Oakland County Animal Shelter. She is in disbelief of his generosity!
“If a dog comes in that’s been hit by a car that needs immediate medical attention, we can do that. I say thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts from this little furry friend and all the furry friends here,” she told Newsweek.
Oakland County Animal Shelter is equipped with state of the art medical facilities. Plus, they have a compassionate group of volunteers who make it all possible!
A Shelter That Makes A Difference For Animals And Families In Need
Their mission is “to protect public safety through the enforcement of applicable state laws, to educate the public about responsible pet ownership, and to provide a humane haven for animals in our care and, where possible, to endeavor to reunite pets with their owners and to promote responsible pet placement.”
The shelter is located in Pontiac, Michigan, and has been helping animals find furever homes since 1980. For the last 40 years, they have helped 4,000 get a second chance at life every year! That’s a lot of wagging tails! In addition to helping dogs and cats find another chance at a lifetime of love, the shelter also provides lifesaving emergency medical treatment. They really do it all, and thanks to Kenneth Thweatt, they can now do even more.

New era of prosperity began for some in 2001
By Norm Farrell on June 15, 2010 • ( 2 Comments )
An unpopular premier. A government on the slide. A resurgent New Democratic Party Opposition. According to Vaughn Palmer, those circumstances resulted in a private meeting when “some self-styled free-enterprisers began casting about for new leadership.”
“I’ve always felt that the chances for a third party were slim to zero unless one of the two big parties committed suicide,” said one back room operator.
However, he believed the Socred government of the day was incapable of another election win, regardless of whether the leader stayed or departed.
At this moment, the NDP have got the next election won, it is an absolute lead pipe cinch.
One of the self-appointed rulers at that meeting was Patrick Kinsella. The man they selected to lead the BC Liberal Party was Jack Poole. The year was 1988. Poole refused the political assignment and Gordon Wilson stayed on as Liberal leader until the money men turned to Gordon Campbell as their choice to be the next free-enterprise Premier.
As predicted, the NDP were indeed an absolute lead pipe cinch to form government and they did, holding power for ten years until Premier-in-waiting Gordon Campbell took office. With him, of course, was the coterie of free-enterpriser deal-makers and bag-men, including Patrick Kinsella who served as co-chair of the Liberal campaign that found success in May 2001.
One element of the extensive Liberal Platform, titled A New Era for British Columbia was to “Not sell or privatize BC Rail.”
However, within four months, Liberal Campaign Co-Chair Patrick Kinsella was making arrangements, consulting with BC Rail for a $7,000 a month fee that earned his company a total of $300,000. Martyn Brown, Campbell’s Chief of Staff, testifying at the BC Rail Corruption trial admits to “bad optics” when Kinsella was quickly made an insider involved with the railway they falsely promised not to sell.
In pre-trial arguments, the Basi/Virk defense claimed that Kinsella had been paid six figures without even submitting an invoice. Lawyer Michael Bolton, representing Dave Basi, suggested if the premier had a “secret plan” to sell BC Rail, he might use Kinsella to assist that plan. “That’s one reason, yes,” Brown conceded.
To be fair, the Liberals had promised to make changes within 90 days and they did exactly that and began a new era of prosperity for friends and insiders. It continues today with a vengeance, back-room deals even accelerating as public acceptance of Gordon Campbell spirals downward.

Reporter or advocate and apologist?
Do you have a link to the original document that has the “not sell or privatize BC Rail” reference in it? I can't find it anywhere. Would any of the BC libraries have such a document?
Where did you get the screenshot?
Norm Farrell says:
I had a pdf copy of the 2001 platform from which I took the screen shot. It is probably still on a hard drive back-up. I'll have a look. The Liberals made it disappear from their website, eh?

Palmer trailer: Justin Timberlake returns to acting with Apple TV+ film
In Palmer, Justin Timberlake plays the role of Eddie Palmer, a man who returns to normal life after an imprisonment of 12 years. The crime and the subsequent punishment also torpedoed his football career.

Palmer will premiere on Apple TV+ on January 29. (Photo: Apple TV Plus)
The trailer of singer-actor Justin Timberlake’s Palmer is out. The film marks Timberlake’s return to acting after a gap of three years. The Fisher Stevens directorial also stars Ryder Allen, Alisha Wainwright, June Squibb, and Juno Temple.
In Palmer, Timberlake plays the role of Eddie Palmer, a man who returns to normal life after an imprisonment of 12 years. The crime and the subsequent punishment also torpedoed his football career.
And now he is back in society. He also forms a bond with a young boy, though he gets bemused by the kid’s predilection for girly stuff.
Palmer appears to be a tale of redemption. We do not know what crime Eddie Palmer committed (to see if he deserves a redemption), but the film strikes the right note.
Justin Timberlake, who has not done a serious dramatic role, looks to be doing a bang-up job here, though admittedly, it is not ideal to judge a movie based on just a trailer.

He probably meant W's first term.
I can accept that the reporter might have bungled some quotes. For instance, as much as I like Jan Brady

Ken must have said "aplomb".
The mentioning of "plumb" might had been correct (it might had been said in accordance with certain definitions for certain dictionaries).

The documentary is good. Not a lot of new information, but Alex, his wife, and the show crew all come off very well.
The surprise of it all for me was the inclusion of Greg Hopkins, the champ from the first episode. He talked about how the $8,400 he won made a difference in his life (with no mention of throwing away $9,000 in the following episode).
Also briefly depicted was Michael Pascuzzi's marriage proposal in 2018 (with no love for our humble administrator's own in 2006.)
It would have been a fun little story to tell about what happened in Game 2 and I am surprised they didn’t.
As an aside: Looking at the archive of that game brought me to the run of Elise Beraru. People would have loved her for her runaway FJ bets. Those aggressive bets worked wonderfully in Game 2, when she shattered the $20K barrier. However, a few misses on those aggressive bets probably cost her a spot in the future UTOC. If only she knew....

It's like Gene Roddenberry said regarding his writing "lyrics" to the Star Trek theme so that he could take co-writer credit with composer Alexander Courage and thereby claim half the performance royalties: "Hey, I have to get some money somewhere. I'm sure not gonna get it out of the profits of Star Trek." J.J. Abrams was taking notes because he "composed" the "theme" to Lost, "wrote" "songs" for the Star Wars movies, etc.

We've been teased twice now in this thread, can you please elaborate? I can't be the only boardie who's been snipe hunting multiple times, lol... Fair is fair, I must explain this: Spoiler
Rural kids (somebody's little brother mainly) used to be punked by being taken out into the woods on a "snipe hunt". The veracity is proved by looking up "snipe" in the dictionary, and it is a real bird. The victim is told to beat the ground with a stick and to hold a gunny sack open in order to attract and capture "snipes". The co-conspirators allegedly were out on the perimeter chasing them toward the dupe in this prank. While actually they were home or wherever, and safe and warm. Yeah, it is boring out in the sticks .

J! Archive has the second game of the Trebek era, and that would make it all clear, but here's what happened: Greg Hopkins had a narrow lock at the end of his first game, bet appropriately small, and was chided by Alex for it when he got the softball FJ in HOLIDAYS right. In the second game he led $9,500 to $5,000 and bet everything on the FJ category THE CALENDAR. His opponents did too, and they all went to $0 on the old quibbly chestnut (or perhaps not so old then) about Spoiler
when the 20th century began.
I think Greg could have easily been the first 5x champion right out of the gate otherwise.
Thanks! I only get to the Archive when someone links to it, but I thought there might be subtext beyond figuring it out from the box score. We know these as strange wagers now, but maybe you'd do anything to avoid winning a year's supply of odor eaters or some of their other consolation prizes. How quirky that it happened in Alex's first hour on the job!

So we watched the ABC show / promotion for net week tonight. I was surprised to see Michael Strahan doing a non-sports program. I thought his narration was excellent, and he handled the interviews pretty well, but a little thin in substance.
Johnny Gilbert told the audience about the ridiculous residuals for Merv Griffin from the theme song when we attended a taping a while back. Our copyright laws and inheritance tax policy are ridiculous. It was cool to see Alex's workshop - it's a lot like mine if you wreck a train in the middle of it.
Overall, it was a melancholy piece but interesting to see how much they explained.

And now for something completely different. This is an episode of the CBS sitcom The 5 Mrs. Buchanans, from 1995. The relevant part comes in the first 3 minutes, but then the plot takes a hard turn, and never gets back to that set up! Or at least I assume it didn't, I couldn't watch the rest of it. One you get to the car ride with the terrible green-screen, you can turn it off. Bonus points if you recognize the blonde actress from her much more successful sitcom that would debut the next year, or if you know which much more successful series Marc Cherry would go on to create in the 2000s.

Watching that game at the time, I assumed you had to include the day of the week. I think I picked the wrong one (I never have figured out how to do that trick; also I don't think I knew then that 1900 was not a leap year). I also remember that, inspired by their success with the question, they asked a version of it in each of the next couple of or several seasons.
I'm smart and I want respect.

Director Robert Altman asked his 14 year old son to write lyrics to a song giving him a title and to make the lyrics as stupid as possible. The song was used for a movie. You may not be familiar with the words, but an instrumental version of the song earned the younger Altman a lot more money than his dad made directing the movie.

To have one's income go to one's children instead of oneself is every rich person's dream. If you take a class on tax law you learn about all kinds of unsuccessful schemes for income shifting. "Suicide Is Painless" is the best one I've ever seen that was 100% legal.
Michael Altman wrote the song himself, so there was nothing tricky going on. And I am sure he never dreamed he would be making money off it 50 years after he wrote it.

FRONT ROW TAMPA BAY: Live broadcast breaks new ground to capture attention during 2012 RNC
On: Sep 05Author: Karla Jo HelmsCategories: #PRWINS, JoTo PR
Front Row Tampa Bay
Front Row Tampa Bay, presented by theTampa Bay Partnership, was an unprecedented four-day, live streamed effort to showcase the region’s business, climate, talent, workforce and opportunities.
Already dubbed “a hit” by Florida media, Front Row featured an assortment of business, community, academic, technology and public leaders extolling the virtues of the region as a premiere place to live, do business and raise a family.
Front Row Tampa Bay drew the curtain on the live streamed programming produced during the 2012 Republican National Convention showcasing economic opportunity in Tampa Bay and Florida, as it opened the door to a whole new way to market the region.
With 125 speakers and 17 hours of live programming, Front Row Tampa Bay was an unprecedented undertaking to tell the business stories of Tampa Bay to a worldwide audience. Additionally, over 450 leaders attended the Front Row Tampa Bay live show at the Stageworks Theatre location and participated in networking and other hosted activities.
“We couldn’t be more pleased with the overwhelming success of the program,” said Stuart Rogel, President & CEO of the Tampa Bay Partnership. “This is the first time a webcast economic development program has aired live for four days so we didn’t know what the level of interest would be. The initial viewership numbers reflect a success.”
Presented by the Tampa Bay Partnership, Front Row Tampa Bay was a four-day, live web TV broadcast showcasing life, work and economic opportunity in the eight-county Tampa Bay region and across Florida. Airing from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Thursday in conjunction with the Republican National Convention, the show featured senior elected officials, business leaders and community guests discussing the economic diversity and opportunity that exists in Tampa Bay and Florida.
Initial analytics from the broadcast show a strong level of interest in the programming including over 200,000 total viewer minutes1, 16,636 total viewer streams2, and an average time per viewer3 of 12 minutes. In addition, viewers tuned in from 73 countries. With archived video-on-demand available on the FrontRowTampaBay.comwebsite, these numbers continue to grow – attracting hundreds of visitors in the five days following the live broadcast.
Through an extraordinary outreach effort involving our sponsors, economic development partners and supporters from throughout the region, the Partnership was able to track over 16 million brand impressions4 for the Front Row Tampa Bay effort before the show began. With the live programming and extensive media coverage, this number continues to increase.
“We knew we needed to do something really extraordinary during the RNC to get above the chatter and capture attention,” said Rogel. “Our role as an organization is to tell the business stories of the region and help people understand the diversity and opportunities of our market. We took this to a whole new level with Front Row Tampa Bay.”
Sponsors such as Moffitt Cancer Center, University of South Florida, Hill+Knowlton Strategies, Sykes Enterprises, All Children’s Hospital, BayCare Health System, TECO Energy, Sweetbay Supermarket, KnowBe4,Clearwater Gas System, Progress Energy, Gulf Coast Community Foundation, City of Clearwater, Nationwide Title Clearing, Economic Development Corporation of Sarasota County, Tampa Bay & Company, Florida High Tech Corridor, Hillsborough River Realty Company, JoTo PR, Foley & Lardner, Florida Blue, Sayfie Review, ClearChannel Outdoor and others found value in helping the region tell its business stories to a worldwide audience.
“Front Row Tampa Bay presented the best and brightest of the Tampa Bay area. We enjoyed the opportunity to highlight our stars here at Moffitt as we talked about the research and discovery that takes place every day at the only NCI designated comprehensive cancer center based in Florida,” said Jack Kolosky, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer with Moffitt Cancer Center.
“The feedback from attendees to the RNC to the informative, substantive streaming video was positive and provided a true ‘window’ into the investment environment of the Tampa Bay region,” added Rod Irwin, Assistant City Manager of the City of Clearwater. “Access to the video produced will be of immeasurable benefit to regional economic development agencies, promotion of the region, and the Tampa Bay Regional Business Plan going forward.”
The Partnership plans to utilize the filmed material to aggressively market the region and promote the area’s strengths in applied medicine and human performance, high-tech electronics and instruments; business, financial and data services; and marine and environmental activities.
“We set out to showcase the best Tampa Bay has to offer for businesses, families and entrepreneurs, using the latest technology backed by quality content and broadcasting flair,” Victory Group’s Adam Goodman, who helped develop and produce the show, said today. “It was a privilege to be a part of it all.”
The Partnership also worked with Tampa Bay & Company to operate a Social Media Command Center and Blogger Café within the same building. With space provided by Saint Leo University, the #TampaBay Social Media Command Center engaged visitors during the week of the convention via social media and sharing positive messages about what Tampa Bay has to offer for visitors and residents alike using the #TampaBay hashtag to amplify the conversations.
“With Tampa Bay & Company spearheading the Social Media Command Center (SMCC) and Tampa Bay Partnership leading Front Row Tampa Bay, we worked collaboratively to ensure Tampa Bay’s brand was heard loud and clear during 2012 RNC,” said Tampa Bay & Company President/CEO Kelly Miller. “Together, we shared Tampa Bay’s tourism and business stories with millions of viewers and social media users throughout the week, and we look forward to continuing this partnership.”
“We consider this week’s Front Row Tampa Bay sessions to be Phase I of a new, innovative means to promote the business and economic development stories our region has to offer,” Rogel added. “Live streaming combined with robust social media are powerful tools to deliver our message to key audiences.”

Cuban migrants stage mass escape from center in south Mexico
TAPACHULA, Mexico (AP) — At least 1,300 mainly Cuban migrants fled on foot from an immigration detention center on Mexico's southern border Thursday in the largest mass escape in recent memory.
The National Immigration Institute said 700 of the Cubans had returned voluntarily, but 600 were still on the loose.
The institute said agents inside the compound weren't armed and "there was no confrontation."
Federal police with riot shields later streamed into the compound to control the situation, as a crowd of angry Cubans whose relatives were being held at the facility gathered outside.
The Cubans claimed their relatives reported overcrowding and unsanitary conditions at the facility.
"My wife and child have been in there for 27 days in bad conditions," said Usmoni Velazquez Vallejo, as he waited outside for news. "There is overcrowding, insufficient food and there isn't even medicine for them."
The escape was embarrassing for the government, given that the center's holding capacity had been listed at less than 1,000 people. The escape of 1,300 meant it was probably at least at double its capacity, since not everyone being held there escaped.
It was even more embarrassing coming on the same day Mexico's top human rights official toured the facility to oversee conditions there.

Google self-driving unit Waymo picks Detroit factory site
DETROIT (AP) — Google's self-driving car spinoff Waymo says it will reopen an axle plant in Detroit to convert conventional vehicles so they can drive autonomously.
The company says it will lease a now-closed American Axle & Manufacturing plant north of downtown so it can convert the vehicles, mostly Chrysler Pacifica minivans.
Waymo plans to spend around $13.6 million and create up to 400 jobs at the site, which is expected to open in the middle of the year.
The company will get an incentive grant from the state of Michigan worth up to $8 million.
Waymo announced plans for the factory in January. The company said it wanted a facility in southeast Michigan due to the strong pool of automotive talent in the area.
The axle plant, which made parts for full-size pickup trucks, closed in 2012. Work has already begun to convert it so Waymo can begin work.
Waymo already has a small facility in the Detroit suburb of Novi, where it tests vehicles in snowy weather. The company is running a robotaxi service in the Phoenix area with autonomous vehicles that have human backup drivers.

Oil prices spike further after US move on Iran buyers
LONDON (AP) — Oil prices remained near six-month highs Tuesday in the wake of the Trump administration's announcement that it would soon impose sanctions on all buyers of Iranian oil.
On Monday, the Trump administration said it would no longer exempt any countries from U.S. sanctions if they continue to buy Iranian oil. The administration had granted eight waivers when it re-imposed sanctions on Iran in November. These expire May 2.
The move will choke off more than $50 billion of annual Iranian income, which the U.S. says funds destabilizing activity in the Middle East and beyond. China, India, Japan and South Korea and Turkey are major importers of Iranian oil.
Industry experts said the sanctions could potentially remove up to 1.2 million barrels of oil per day from international markets. But that number will likely be lower, depending on how countries respond and just how much oil Iran continues to export
The decision has already been criticized by the European Union. European Commission spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic expressed "regret" Tuesday over the U.S. decision, saying that it "risks further undermining" the Iran nuclear deal.
In the markets, the move gave oil prices a further lift.
A barrel of benchmark New York oil was up 0.7% at $65.99, slightly below its earlier high since October of $66.10. Meanwhile, Brent, the international standard, was 0.3% higher at $74.25 a barrel, slightly down on its earlier highest level since November of $74.65.
"There isn't much doubt about the trigger for the latest rally, with Trump's decision not to extend waivers on imports of Iranian oil beyond May unsurprisingly providing further upward pressure," said Craig Erlam, senior market analyst at OANDA.
The oil price advance has helped shore up oil stocks. London-listed BP was up 2.4% while France's Total rose 1.9%.
However, markets in Europe reopened after the Easter holiday on a flat note. France's CAC 40 was down 0.2% to 5,570 while Germany's DAX was 0.2% lower at 12,196. Britain's FTSE 100 was up 0.4% at 7,491.
Wall Street was set for a steady open with Dow futures up 0.1% but the broader S&P 500 futures down 0.1%.
Traders are waiting for a slew of U.S. earnings reports from big companies such as Twitter, Facebook and Microsoft starting Tuesday.
There was no strong impetus for buying in Asia. Reports from a recent high-level meeting in China, which was chaired by President Xi Jinping, showed willingness to fine-tune monetary policy but raised questions about future government stimulus.
Japan's Nikkei 225 index was 0.2% higher at 22,259.74 and the Kospi in South Korea added 0.2% to 2,220.51. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was flat at 29,963.24. Australia's S&P ASX 200 gained 1% to 6,319.40 while the Shanghai Composite gave up 0.5% to 3,198.59.
Elsewhere, the euro was flat at $1.1250 while the dollar was steady at 112 yen.

What a meth! El Dorado landlord gets more than she bargained for with new tenant
A man who made meth in a studio apartment has left quite the cleanup for the landlord.
Angela McKnight rented a studio apartment to a man just thirty days' ago. As is customary for a landlord, she took pictures of the inside of the apartment before the tenant moved in. The pictures taken after the man left aren't nearly the same.
She thought she had researched her new renter properly, but the background check turned out to be a phony website. From the organic chemistry book and pipes the tenant left behind, it appeares that he was busy making methamphetamine.
After contacting the sheriff, she discovered that they knew the man, saying that he was a drug addict who has done this many places.
El Dorado's building inspector says that tenants damaging homes, even refusing to leave when given an eviction notice, is a growing problem, and, because it's a civil matter, there isn't much law enforcement can do.

Kevin Miller Show 4/17/20
Kevin Miller begins the show by discussing the influence legalizing marijuana has had on Idaho. Kevin Miller interviews Dr. Tommy Ahlquist of Saltzer Medical Group. They discuss the need for additional testing in Idaho. Kevin Miller speaks with Congressman Jack Kingston of Georgia and Brandon Atkins of Central District Health. Kevin Miller previews the upcoming rally today at the capitol. It turns out Michigan residents aren't the only people tired of living under coronavirus stay-at-home orders. In recent days, protests have popped up in at least five other states. Thousands of people defied governors' orders this week to take part in demonstrations in Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina and Utah. While some of the complaints varied, the main reason for each protest was essentially the same: residents feel their constitutional rights have been violated because they've been forced to stay home. "The government, at all levels, has overstepped its authority in their quest to ‘protect’ Americans from a virus," says Mary Burkett, who took part in Utah's demonstration. "The American citizen is perfectly capable of deciding how to best protect themselves." Is your opinion of coronavirus protective orders starting to turn as well? Is the U.S. ready to move on -- regardless of whether the coronavirus is still a threat?

Mary “Mickey Wright”: 1st Woman in Race Car History Leads POINTS in V8 Stock Car Series
By Stacey Barker | Press Releases | No Comments
First Woman Driver in Race Car History Leads POINTS in V8 Stock Car Series, Racing to the Finish Line With her Dreams for a Championship
Mickey Wright attempts to claim her third championship of the year in the V8 stock car series SPO division and compete in her first SCCA PRO Trans Am race in the TA2 division this weekend, November 2-4, 2012 at Road Atlanta.
(October 31, 2012, Los Angeles, CA) The SCCA American Road Race of Champions will take place on November 2-4, 2012 at Road Atlanta located at 5300 Winder Highway in Braselton, GA, 30517. Mickey Wright has the opportunity to make history as the first female champion in both the V8 stock car series in SPO division races. Already, she has proven that car racing is no longer a man’s world and is the first female POINTS leader in any of the V8 stock car series divisions to date. Mickey will be racing on a 2.54-mile, 12-turn world-class road course with qualifying races on Friday, November 2nd, 2012.
In 2007 at the age of 45 years old, Mickey Wright was ready to redefine middle age and developed her thirst for the fast lane by competitive oval track racing through Competition 101’s Racing School. By 2010, she had won 18 qualifying and feature event races on both dirt and asphalt tracks. In June 2011, Mickey began road racing with SCCA, NASA, and V8 stock car series. Mickey Wright has won two POINTS championships this year. These include the SARRC (South Atlantic Road Race Championship) and the SCCA (Sports Car Club of America) Central Florida Region, both in the SPO division. The SPO (Special Production Over) division is a large bore engine class with no performance rules, only general safety rules, and four fenders for requirements.
In Mickey’s first complete year of road racing, she has set some milestones and made her dreams of burning rubber come true. For 2013, she is looking forward to racing the full Trans Am Pro Racing Series once sponsorship is secured. When asked about Road Atlanta Mickey Wright stated,“I’m really excited about this weekends’ race. We’ve tested here several times this year and gotten better each time. This weekend is where I need to put it all together to achieve our goals. I am proof women can do anything and new life begins with middle age”.
Mickey Wright will be available for interviewing at Road Atlanta this weekend. Please contact Jade Umbrella publicity team, stacey@jadeumbrella.com or erica@jadeubmrella.com, to make arrangements.

Non-Austen Reads for Austen Readers: Homespun Bride
So this is something I started a while back. We all love Jane Austen and it is such a bummer that there isn’t more of her works to read.
Variations are a ton of fun, and there are great ones out there, but sometimes you don’t always want to read the same story. You want Austen-like works, but what to read?
That’s why I started this series. I will review books that have the things we love about the Austen novels, but is something fresher than a retelling.
Homespun Bride (The McKaslin Clan Historical #2) by Jillian Hart
Thad McKaslin has returned home after being away for eight years. He always wanted to live in Montana-dreaming of owning a plot of land and having a ranch for him and his wife-who he hoped to be Noelle Kramer. There was no happier day than when he proposed and she said yes.
How sweet!
But it was not to be as her father, the banker who owned the mortgage on Thad’s family farm, threatened to evict his family-including his sick mother-if he didn’t leave his daughter alone.
Choosing not to meet to elope with Noelle at their meeting place, he instead left for the West and cattle drives-planning to never return, but did when his family needed help-his younger brother (who got into trouble) has just been released from jail and his older brother widowed.
Aw, that’s sad.
He expects Noelle to be married to her father’s choice, have children, and to never run into her. But as he is out running an errand, a runaway horse almost plunges two women and their carriage into a river. He helps them and is surprised to see they are Noelle and her Aunt Henrietta, and Noelle is blind!
Noelle was heartbroken when she went to meet Thad and he wasn’t there. When she returned him crying, she confessed to her father who assured her she was better off than to be with that cad-probably persuaded by the thrill of going out West and sowing oats than being married. Noelle had given up on love and planned on marrying her father’s choice as she didn’t care anymore…
But then Noelle was in an accident that killed her mother and father and left her permanently blind.
Her fiancé didn’t want “damaged goods” and left her-her aunt and uncle (and their four girls) moving from the East to take care of her. Noelle has never stopped loving Thad but having him back makes her anger come out-how could he have been persuaded by the Wild West, how could he have left her.
Thad realizes that Noelle doesn’t know the truth of what happened, but decides to not say anything as he knows how much she loved her father and he doesn’t want to taint her image of him. He decides to stay far away, but her matchmaking aunt who worries about all her girls being settled and her uncle Robert who has no horse sense and is in severe need of aid, keep him coming around.
After Robert has an incredibly dangerous fall, Thad joins the household by taking care of the ranch and spending more time with Noelle, his love reigniting. Will the two be able to move forward? Or be stuck in the past? Will each be able to overcome their insecurities of not being enough (Thad’s “lower class background” and Noelle’s blindness) or will they let that keep them far apart?
So the first reason why I recommend this for Austen fans is that it instantly made me think of Persuasion. Two people in love, separated by youthful persuasion, reuniting wiser and more experienced, a bad fall bringing them together, etc.
In this, Thad is like Anne Elliot- In Persuasion Anne wants to marry Frederick Wentworth, but is persuaded by the fear that he could die, she’d be left alone, etc outweigh her love and she refuses him-him thinking that it is because he is lower than her, not knowing really how Anne loved him. Thad is the same way as he knows the full reason why the engagement ended and has both hurt and pain, but not anger or bitterness.
Noelle is more like Frederick. Both have misunderstood the reason why the person they loved left and start the first half of the book angry and bitter, but then after a bad fall (for Noelle, her uncle Robert and Fredrick, Louisa Musgrove) they realize who they love and want to be with that person. While Frederick writes a letter of his love for Anne, Noelle anonymously sells the land she owns that Thad has been dreaming of buying to show her love for him.
Aunt Henreitta reminds me of a combination of Mrs. Bennet, Mrs. Jennings, and Aunt Gardiner. Aunt Henrietta is the mother of four girls and is constantly worrying about marrying them off, providing dowries, etc.
Hardly a page goes by when she isn’t plotting some sort of matchmaking, but unlike Mrs. Bennet she isn’t silly or has gauche behavior. Like Mrs. Jennings she wants to marry off any eligible man or woman she likes and has a forceful presence. Like Mrs. Jennings, Henrietta will back and protect anyone she cares for, so don’t mess with either one’s girls.
But unlike those two ladies, Henrietta is also very sensible and has a great relationship and love with her husband Robert. She reads the emotions of Thad and Noelle early and tries her best to get them together.
I thought it was a cute story and recommend it for Jane Austen fans.

You Will Die in Seven Days: The Ring (2002)
“You will die in seven days…”
So many of you might remember the post I did a year ago on Ringu, the original Japanese film. I had watched Ringu because I had heard that it was far creepier and better version that the American one. However, I found that to be false, with The Ring being the creepier one of the two. This was mostly due to the actors, some story changes, and a better explanation of Samarra. But more than anything else, my own personal connection to the film (I’ll mention that at the end).
So I was home alone one night (my roommates were all out of town for the weekend) and decided that I would spend the night in watching films. I had spotted this at the library and decided that it was perfect film for the occasion. I decided that instead of watching it alone in the living room, I would watch it in my room with the lights off. You know, set the “creepy mood”.
So the story is pretty similar to the Japanese film. You have two girls who are talking about a cabin weekend that one of the girls, Katie, had gone to. Suddenly the topic of a cursed videotape comes up. If you watch this tape you will die in seven days. After her niece dies, the main character, Rachel (Naomi Watts) starts tracking down what caused her death and gets caught up in a supernatural mystery. (For more info check out Ringu or watch the film).
So what made this film much creepier than the original? Let’s get started.
1. Lighting/Set Design
I’m not sure where the story takes place but it is always raining and gloomy. Plus the camera crew gave the whole movie this blue tint when filming which also adds to the creepiness/horror film feel to it.
2. The Kid
In the first film Yoshi wasn’t really in the film that much. He had the nightmares and could hear his cousin “calling” to him, but that was mostly it. He watches the video, which leads his mother to try even harder to discover how to stop it. He then gets dropped off at his grandfather’s house for a bit and we don’t see him until the end of the film.
In the remake this kid is SUPER CREEPY
He’s kinda like Cole from The Sixth Sense, that is if Cole wasn’t a cutie. I mean this kid is an uber creep as he only talks in monotone, and doesn’t act like a kid at all-more like a 30 year old man. To top it off he even draws strange murderous pictures. Horrifying.
3) The Video
So The Ring came out four years after Ringu and had much better special effects, not gonna lie about that. And the video was much more creepy in this film. Freaky, emphasis on the FREAK.
4. Samara/Background Explanation
So in the original film we don’t get a full background on her. We find out that a professor was looking into studies of mental telepathy and other things like that. He found a woman that has this ability and the two end up having a child that for some reason is more powerful, and CRAZY! The main character’s ex-husband also just happens to have this ability. That’s it. That’s all we get.
How does it pass down? Why does the husband have it? Is that why they got a divorce? Why was the girl so much stronger? Why did she kill all the horses?
In the remake they give her a weirder background that explains her murderous tendencies. She was almost drowned as a baby, taken away from her family, and then put into social services. She has a history of trying to get attention/be the center of attention. She was adopted by a couple that really wanted kids but she was unlike anything they had ever seen. She started to develop these powers that freaked out her parents as she was getting into their minds.
She goes to a psychiatric hospital and is questioned and treated, causing her to react as a kid would with anger. She kills her doctor and gets sent back home to the horse ranch.
To prevent her from harming anyone, they put her up in the barn away from everyone else with only a TV set. This makes her very angry.
She gets very jealous and kills all the horses by making them go insane. To her adoptive mother, Anna, those were her children. She loved them and cared for them. She has a complete mental breakdown and gets sent to a sanatarium. After she is released the family goes to the mountains and she kills Samarra by throwing her down a well, and them committing suicide herself.
It may be strange, but explains things a whole lot more than the original. Plus it is very creepy.
So personal connection.
As I mentioned earlier, I was home alone. I had 5 housemates; 3 were staying the night at their boyfriends house and 2 had gone home to see her parents. My actual roommate had gone home to see her parents and wasn’t coming back until the next day. Instead of chilling in the living room, I took my food into my bedroom, along with the film.
So I was watching the film and had just gotten to the part when Rachel has watched the tape and received the call that in seven days she will die. Just as she has hung up her phone, my phone rings!
I pause the film and reach for the phone, shakily saying hello as its ringing scared the bejeezus out of me.
It was just my sister. She had an idea for something and wanted to bounce it off me.
So I go back to watching the film. As I reach the part when Samarra comes out of the TV
My door starts to open.
So let me explain campus security. The dorms I was living in were like townhouses. They had 4 bedrooms-2 singles & 2 doubles. Every student was given an ID card that held campus money, allowed us to check out books, go into the rec center & dining hall, and most importantly our rooms. We had two doors to the dorms that were set to only accept the cards of the people of the house. Besides running your card through the slot (like a debit card) each member of the house had a unique four-digit number to gain access. A card wasn’t enough, you had to use your code as well. Plus the code had to match the card or else you were out of luck.
To make that even more impressive, every room was encoded to only accept the occupant’s card. My roommate and I were the only ones who could into my room, unless someone had one of our cards. (The codes were only for the front & back doors.)
So you can see why I was freaked out. Everyone had made plans to be gone, defintely be gone. But yet here was my door opening and someone or something entering.
It being really dark and the fact that the rooms were L-shaped (therefore making it hard to see “who” was exactly coming in through the door) didn’t help that much.
Of course, as I’m sure you all have figured out by now it was just my roommate. It turns out she had changed her mind and decided to come home early.
This experience made the film much more exciting, although anything that happened in the film afterward that last scare was pretty anti-climatic.
So It was a pretty great film and I suggest you check it out.
And I’m not just trying to pass it off to save myself from being killed. LOL

Ottawa announces $1.2B more to help Indigenous communities fight COVID-19 pandemic
Marc Miller, Minister of Indigenous Services, holds a news conference in Ottawa on December 2, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Sean Kilpatrick
OTTAWA – Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller says Ottawa will spend $1.2 billion in new funding to help Indigenous communities keep fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
That includes another $380 million for the Indigenous communities support fund to help First Nations deal with COVID-19, including providing support for elders, addressing food insecurity and supporting initiatives to help limit the spread of the coronavirus.
It also includes $630 million for Indigenous communities to hire more staff, buy personal protective equipment and adapt existing facilities to deal with the pandemic.
Miller says $186 million will go to providing more home-care services to protect elders and other vulnerable community members.
There are 4,384 active COVID-19 cases in First Nations communities on reserve and a total of 11,502 confirmed cases since March.
The government has announced more than $4.2 billion in COVID-19 support to Indigenous communities and organizations since the beginning of the pandemic.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 13, 2020

Jurisdiction Provisions and Settlement Agreements
Nicholas Siddall QC considers the recent decision of the Court of Appeal in Merinson-v-Yukos International UK BV & Ors [2019] EWCA Civ 830 which is a salutary warning to drafters of the effect of the Recast Brussels Regulation (“Brussels”) on jurisdictional provisions in a settlement agreement.
A The Issue
It is a normal feature of settlement agreements that they will compromise the specific dispute between the parties and will also include additional provisions seeking to settle potential and future claims in order that the parties can achieve a ‘clean break’.
It is also a common feature of such agreements (which is of increasingly greater significance as a result of the international nature of the employment market) that jurisdiction is allocated to a particular forum by the provisions of the agreement as regarding all such claims.
The issue discussed in Merinson was the extent to which such a provision is effective in the light of Brussels.
B The Facts of Merinson
The Claimant worked for the Defendant group of companies and most of his work took place in the Netherlands. His employment ended on non-amicable terms which led to the conclusion of a settlement in Holland. The settlement agreement sought to confer exclusive jurisdiction on the Dutch courts.
The Defendant discovered later alleged misconduct (relating to the receipt of ‘kickbacks’ from Banks) on the part of the Claimant and issued proceedings in England & Wales. This was in accordance with the requirements of Brussels as by that time the Claimant was domiciled in this jurisdiction.
The Claimant sought the dismissal of the English proceedings as he contended that they fell within the scope of the settlement agreement and thus under Article 25 Brussels must be litigated in Holland.
The Defendant succeeded in resisting that application in the High Court and the Claimant appealed to the Court of Appeal.
C The Issues on Appeal
The issues explored by the Court of Appeal were:
(1) Whether an additional claim fell within the scope of the term “matters relating to an individual contract of employment” (not here material)?
(2) Whether the settlement agreement had been entered into after the dispute in question? and
(3) Was the English Court otherwise precluded from entertaining the claim under Brussels? It was held not as the effect of the Dutch judgment was contractual in nature.
D The Brussels Provisions
The relevant Brussels Provisions are summarised as follows in the Judgment
17. The Recitals provide as follows:
(18) In relation to insurance, consumer and employment contracts, the weaker party should be protected by rules of jurisdiction more favourable to his interests than the general rules.
(19) The autonomy of the parties to a contract, other than an insurance, consumer or employment contract, where only limited autonomy to determine the courts having jurisdiction is allowed, should be respected subject to the exclusive grounds of jurisdiction laid down in this Regulation.”
18. Chapter II, Section 5 of Brussels Recast deals with “Jurisdiction over individual contracts of employment”. Art. 20.1 provides that “In matters relating to individual contracts of employment…” jurisdiction shall be determined by “this Section.”. Art. 22.1 contains the protective rule of jurisdiction designed to favour employees:
“An employer may bring proceedings only in the courts of the Member State in which the employee is domiciled.”
Art. 23(1) provides that the provisions of Section 5 may be departed from only by an agreement:
“which is entered into after the dispute has arisen…”
19. Chapter II, Section 7 deals with the recognition of exclusive juisdiction agreements, subject (inter alia) to the provisions of Art. 23. Art. 25.1 is in these terms:
“If the parties, regardless of their domicile, have agreed that a court or the courts of a Member State are to have jurisdiction to settle any disputes which have arisen or which may arise in connection with a particular legal relationship, that court or those courts shall have jurisdiction….Such jurisdiction shall be exclusive unless the parties have agreed otherwise….”
However, Art. 25.4 provides the qualification, of the first importance for present purposes, that agreements conferring jurisdiction “…shall have no legal force if they are contrary to…” (amongst others) Art. 23.
E The Court of Appeal Decision
The Court of Appeal recognised the tension between the Brussels intention of protecting the weaker party to the transaction but also respecting the contractual intentions of the parties. It also accepted that the settlement plainly post dated some (but not all) of the disputes between the parties. It also frankly accepted the objective ‘sense’ of the matter being heard in Holland whilst recognising that under Brussels it had no discretion in that regard.
The Court of Appeal endorsed the ‘Jenard Test’ -taken from a report prior to the enactment of Brussels- that in order for the Article 23 test to be satisfied that (paragraph 44)
i) Limb 1: The parties disagree on a specific point; and
ii) Limb 2: Legal proceedings are imminent or contemplated.
Thus, under this test, the parties are not free to enter into a jurisdiction agreement departing from the Section 5 jurisdiction regime unless and until both Limb 1 and Limb 2 are satisfied.”
The High Court had found on the facts that the parties were each aware of some of the matters which formed the subject matter of the dispute but at the time of the settlement agreement they had not “joined issue or communicated with each other about those specific issues”. It had also found that jurisdiction clauses in settlement agreements were no different from similar clauses in employment contracts themselves.
In applying the Jenard test the Court of Appeal said this:
67. …The inescapable connotation of disagreement on a specific point is that the parties have “joined issue” on that specific point. I am unable therefore to accept [counsel’s] submission that the Judge had added an unwarranted gloss to the Jenard test. It further seems to me that [counsel] was plainly correct to say that a dispute cannot have arisen before there has been communication as to its subject-matter by one party to the other. Given the context of these protective provisions and the premium placed on certainty and predictability, the outcome cannot sensibly turn on what one party (the presumptively weaker party) may have gleaned from a third party (at all events, a third party not an authorised agent of the “presumptively stronger party”). And
73. …The reason is that settlement agreements, especially if widely drafted, frequently encompass potential as well as actual disputes. Potential disputes will not, however, satisfy Art. 23(1). Moreover, with regard to Art. 23(1), settlement agreements do not comprise some special category, so that it remains necessary to distinguish actual from potential disputes. In terms of the Settlement Agreement, the subject-matter of this action comprised no more than a potential dispute.”
On the facts the Court of Appeal upheld the High Court’s determination that the test was not satisfied as follows:
(I) At the time of the settlement agreement there had been no communication at all between the parties on the issue of kickbacks;
(II) The dispute between the Claimant and the Defendant was at the time of conclusion of
(III) Despite the wisdom of litigating the claim in Holland there was no such discretion afforded to a court under Brussels.
(F) Postscript
The Court of Appeal’s judgment on this issue did conclude with the following observation:
“That decision does not mean that Mr Merinson may not ultimately prevail in his reliance on the Settlement Agreement as barring the claims now pursued against him. The decision means no more than that the Annulment Claims can be considered by the English Court. Like the Dutch Court, however, the English Court must apply Dutch law when considering those claims. The English Court is vastly experienced in deciding questions of foreign law, so that the outcome ought to be unaffected.”
G Conclusion
On the basis of the above application of Brussels it seems likely that a forensic assessment of the extent to which a dispute has arisen in all respects shall be required when assessing the effect of a jurisdiction provision. It is only if such a dispute has indeed arisen and been communicated that the effect of a settlement agreement shall be to displace the normal rule that an employee must be sued in their state of domicile. Thus drafters of such documents shall need to bear that concern in mind.

Lawyer says missing Melissa may have been killed
by Brenden Hills
Melissa Caddick's lawyer has claimed NSW Police are now treating her disappearance as a murder investigation.
But police have formally denied this outside of court and said the matter is still being treated as a missing person investigation.
Ms Caddick, 49, was last seen by her husband just after midnight on November 12 inside their Dover Heights mansion and there is a belief the finance worker may have left her home at 5.30am the next day to go for a run.
Melissa Caddick was last seen on November 12. Picture: Andy Baker.
It has since emerged that Ms Caddick was being pursued in the Federal Court of Australia by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, which moved to seize the 49-year-old's assets and bank accounts prior to her disappearance.
In the Federal Court on Friday, barrister Jane Muir told the court police were treating the disappearance as a murder investigation. She said given the demands on their time in assisting police in their investigation it was making it difficult to take legal instructions from other members of the family, Ms Caddick's brother, Adam Grimley and husband, Anthony Koletti.
No family members are suspected of any involvement in the disappearance of Ms Caddick.
"It's very difficult for them to provide us with timely instructions given the other claims on their time that are referable to the first defendant being missing," Ms Muir told the court.
"Family matters and, in Mr Grimley's case, I understand he is also spending time assisting the police with what is now a murder investigation," the barrister told the court.

However, a NSW Police spokesman later said this was not the case.
"It is a missing person investigation until we have evidence to the contrary," a NSW Police spokesman said. "If people have information about the missing woman they should call Crimestoppers 1800 333 000."
The court was also told the nature of ASIC's case against Ms Muir related to investor money that was either with Ms Caddick, her company, or in some other corporate entity.
In responding to ASIC's claims for a need to get the court case heard before Christmas, Ms Muir told the court there was no danger to investor funds.

"Bank accounts have been frozen," Ms Muir told the court. "I don't know where the money is that investors paid … If it's in frozen bank accounts, for example, then…it would seem no danger to investors if that's where their funds are.
"If there's some other danger to investors then there needs to be an explanation of why it is that provisional liquidation and an appointment of a receiver is going to protect them and currently that's missing.
"That's really important because if ASIC is trying to force on a party before the Christmas break when it is experiencing the difficulties that I have explained there needs to be a very good rationale and our position is that there simply isn't," Ms Muir told the court.
The case was put over for a week to allow the parties to sort out who can appear for Ms Caddick and her company in circumstances where she has disappeared without giving proper legal instructions.

Jake Milbank suffered burns to 80 per cent of his body in the Whakaari/White Island eruption. Picture: Supplied
NZ volcano survivor’s stunning recovery
The teenage tour guide who suffered burns to 80 per cent of his body in the Whakaari/White Island eruption has shared a dramatic photo of his first taste of fresh air in nearly three months.
The Bay of Plenty volcano erupted beneath Jake Milbank and members of his party on December 9, his 19th birthday.
The eruption killed 21 people - including fellow tour guide Hayden Marshall-Inman and teenage Australian tourist Winona Langford, whose bodies were not found.
After more than three long months in hospital things are finally starting to look up as my medical team have cleared me for day leave! The first thing on my list was to go and see this little cutie who hasn’t seen me in a whopping 1.8 dog years 😅 Such an awesome feeling to be back out in the real world breathing in some fresh air. I’d like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me get to this point, I couldn’t have done it without you all ❤️
A post shared by Jake Milbank (@jake_milbank) on Mar 11, 2020 at 12:03am PDT
Mr Milbank has needed 23 trips to surgery at Middlemore Hospital, where he has been since the tragedy. A Givealittle page set up to help his family financially is now topping $145,000.
Via a social media account, the teen shared a heartwarming photo and description of the first time in three months he had been outside on March 1, when he got to see his dog.
"The first thing on my list was to go and see this little cutie who hasn't seen me in a whopping 1.8 dog years.
"Such an awesome feeling to be back out in the real world breathing in some fresh air."
He also recounted the moment in an update to his Givealittle page on March 11.
"I was able to see my dog for the first time in almost three months which was such an amazing feeling, and it was also my Aunty's birthday so I got to spend the afternoon with my family to celebrate."
He said the last 94 days had been "the most challenging days of my life".
"But each and every one of them I have been getting stronger and stronger.
"To date I have had 23 trips to theatre, and more recently my nurses have began doing my dressing changes on the ward and as of last week I have started to have my dressings changed in my own room in the burns unit."
He said now his skin was fully grafted his physio sessions had been getting "more and more intense as my skin grafts heal".
"From walking on the treadmill to pumping iron (a 1kg weight in each hand) we are seeing improvements every day.
"I am finally beginning to gain weight and have put on 3kg in the last three weeks."
Milbank was working for White Island Tours as a guide when the tragedy happened.
He offered a "huge thank you" to everyone who had supported him.
"I'd like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me get to this point. I couldn't have done it without you all."
In particular he thanked his family, friends and colleagues for the immense efforts visiting and keeping him company while he has been in hospital.
"My friends have been so awesome driving almost an eight-hour round trip from Whakatāne to see me nearly every weekend and I have also had quite a few visits from my colleagues at White Island Tours which has been great.
"Words can't even express how amazing my family have been. They have been so supportive, keeping me company and bringing me home-cooked meals. I can't thank them enough.
"I am looking forward to spending more time out of the hospital and eventually being home with my friends and family but at this stage we are not quite sure when that might be, meaning that for now my main focus is getting in the gym with my rehab team.
"I am looking forward to sharing some more good news regarding my recovery with you all in the future."
In the comments on his social media post, many described the teenager as "an inspiration".
"Jake, you are my inspiration every day," said one person.
"Kia kaha, we're all behind you, you got this," said another.
Mr Milbank was initially taken off Whakaari on a White Island Tours boat, which was skippered by Paul Kingi.
Kingi's boat had departed Whakaari before the sudden eruption, but he bravely returned to help the gravely injured.
Fellow survivor and tour guide Kelsey Waghorn also shared an update into her recovery this month after she suffered full thickness burns to 45 per cent of her body in the eruption.
She spent 10 days in ICU, five of those in an induced coma after the island spewed ash, steam and toxic gas.
"It has been the hardest three months of my life, but I have learnt how stubborn, strong and willing my mind and body are," she wrote.

"Of course, there have been many moments where neither were any of the above, but they have been moments. Not days. Not weeks. For that, I am grateful."
Ms Waghorn also paid tribute to her friend and colleague Hayden-Marshall Inman, one of the 21 people killed in the eruption.
"Today marks three months since I lost a good friend, colleague, and many others lost their loved ones. This will stay with me forever."
As of March 4, three patients remained in care at Middlemore Hospital, one of whom was critical.
Thirteen patients have been transferred to Australia and six to other home countries.

WATCH: Woman’s horror hotel racist rant
by Priscilla DeGregory and Craig McCarthy
SHE'S the picture of entitlement.
An unhinged woman was caught on camera screaming racist slurs at a Midtown hotel receptionist - all because the employee asked for identification before handing over a room key, according to a new lawsuit.
Michelle Rajacic waltzed into the City Club Hotel after midnight on April 6, 2018, demanding a room key, then began spewing racial epithets when worker Linda Shell, 36, asked to see ID, according to the Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit filed by Ms Shell.
In a video taken by Ms Shell, the woman calls the receptionist, who is black, a "ni**er," "dirty f***ing raunchy ska*k," "dirty f***ing hood rat" and other offensive phrases.
"Actually my boyfriend's f***ing family pays you," Rajacic is heard shouting.
Afterwards, Ms Rajacic allegedly spat on and assaulted Ms Shell, the lawsuit says.
Ms Shell, of East Orange, New Jersey, was allegedly "struck in the face with a mobile phone by Rajacic during the altercation.
"After, she kept spitting. I was getting more upset because that is the lowest thing you can do to someone. I said, 'OK, ma'am, it's time for you to go'," Ms Shell claimed.
"I grabbed her arm and started leading her to the front desk. She then broke her cell phone across my face."
The lawsuit claims: "Defendant spit on plaintiff and then assaulted, battered and attacked the plaintiff and used physical force without cause or justification and without plaintiff's consent."
Michelle Rajacic calls the receptionist, who is black, racist names.
Police arrested Rajacic for the incident, and she was subsequently convicted of third-degree assault, according to the suit.
The Manhattan District Attorney's Office said it could not comment because the case was sealed.
Once Rajacic got out of jail, the hotel gave her a free room, Ms Shell said - prompting her to quit in disgust.
"I told them I could no longer work there because my safety is no longer important to them," Ms Shell said.
City Club Hotel general manager Joshua Barbee denied the charge.
"This is the first we are learning of this litigation," he said. "The claims being made regarding the hotel are completely incorrect. With that said, since this is pending litigation, we will have no further comment."
Ms Shell, who is originally from Savannah, Georgia, said nothing like this had ever happened to her living in the Deep South.
"When it comes to anything racial, you have a better chance of it happening down south than up north. I never in my life thought I would have to experience that up here. That's why I moved here," Ms Shell said.
She is suing for unspecified damages.
"While Ms Shell demonstrated noble restraint in the face of such bigotry, what she was forced to endure should not, and will not, be tolerated," her lawyer, John Tait. "We will fight to ensure that Ms Rajacic is held to account for her actions."
Rajacic did not immediately return requests for comment.
She was arrested by police and convicted of third-degree assault.

WORKSPACE DESIGN
Transform your career so
you’re as excited for Monday
as you are for Friday
Being miserable at work and not knowing what to do about it, or being unsure about what you were born to do can be dissatisfying to say the least and at most, devastating to your overall health, wealth, well-being and life satisfaction.
You’re in such a rut you dread Mondays and can’t wait for Fridays. You may even catch yourself saying, “I don’t know what I’m supposed to be doing, but this isn’t it.”
You go back and forth as to whether you should go or stay at your current job. Somehow it’s just too hard to get started on a job search and even if you did, you don’t know what to look for or how to go about it to find something new and better.
You wish you actually enjoyed the 10+ hours a day you slave away, could feel a sense of accomplishment when you come home at night and felt like you were contributing to something that has meaning to you.
Many professionals in today’s workforce are tired of feeling unfulfilled, underappreciated and unrewarded for all that they do. The result is a feeling of constant burn out and misalignment with the work they’re spending so many hours of their day doing—it isn’t supposed to be like this.
And, it doesn’t have to be like this. You can be in a job where you enjoy what you’re doing, you feel fulfilled, you have a path forward to grow in your career where you’re experiencing a sense of meaningful accomplishment, and enjoy the people you work with and the environment you’re in every day.

Final Fantasy VI Translation Comparison (Part 8)
Posted on August 6, 2018 by Clyde Mandelin ‧ 50 Comments
This is part of my ongoing series in which I compare four translations of Final Fantasy VI with the original Japanese script. For project details and my translation notes from Day 1, see here.
Part 8: Albrook to Terra Reunion
We started this stream right after Setzer takes the party to the Empire’s continent. I had expected us to get to about halfway through the Magitek Factory, but we wound up going much further. We even streamed a little longer than usual to get to a good stopping point in the story.
This day’s stream covered so much material that I couldn’t feasibly write about all of it here. So even though I’ve written about a lot of stuff below, definitely check out the video for more things that were messed up in translation, added in, cut out, and whatnot!
Albrook’s Name
What we know in English as the town of Albrook is known as “Albroog” in the official Japanese strategy guides. The Japanese name is アルブルグ (aruburugu), which indeed has a “g” sound in there. I’m guessing the Super NES translator saw “Albroog” in English in some stuff, felt it sounded bad, and changed the “g” to a “k”.
Still, I can’t help but wonder if this town’s English name was really meant to be something else entirely. As a translator, my first instinct for this name would actually be “Alburg”.
One of the official Super Famicom guides for Final Fantasy VI spells the name in English as "Albroog"
Another official guide also features the "Albroog" name
Even 12 years later, "Albroog" still appears in official materials like this official Game Boy Advance guide
Incidentally, I occasionally talk about how “decorative English” appears in Japanese entertainment all the time. These “Albroog” pics are perfect examples of decorative English in action.
Weak Magic
In Japanese, a scholar in Albrook mentions that monsters on this continent are weak to magic.
The Super NES translator misunderstood the line, which turned the line to something very different. Now the scholar says that monsters on the continent have weak magic!
The GBA translation fixes this line. The fan translation clearly copies and rephrases the faulty Super NES translation. It’s not a difficult line in Japanese, so I’m surprised the fan translator didn’t notice this obvious mistake in the Super NES script. In fact, it’s such a straightforward sentence that even Google gets it spot-on.
Whoopie Lady
In Japanese, this woman proclaims that she’s drunk. Unsurprisingly, this line was completely changed in the Super NES translation. The GBA translation fixes it in an amusing way, and even the fan translation reverts her back to being drunk – although the only correctly translated part is her hiccup sound.
To be fair though, the lady slurs her words so much that it’s not immediately clear what she’s saying. Drunk talk is hard to understand in any language, so trying to understand it as a non-native speaker can be even more challenging. It’s a topic that’s not taught in schools, obviously, so in the interest of improving drunk people communication, here’s how this line works:
Drunk Line Intended Line Translation
わらひ…
(wa/ra/hi) わたし…
(wa/ta/shi) I…
よっぱらっひゃった みひゃい…
(yo/ppa/ra/hhya/tta mi/hya/i) よっぱらっちゃった みたい…
(yo/ppa/ra/ccha/tta mi/ta/i) think I’m drunk…
ヒック！
(hikku) ヒック！
(hikku) *Hic*!
Breaking Japanese sentences into their individual syllables makes it easier to analyze drunken dialogue. In my experience, Japanese entertainment writers tend to keep the beginning syllables in a word unchanged to serve as a sort of linguistic handrail. Syllables after that are altered, but usually still rhyme with the intended syllable. As an example, in the drunk line above, the ta in watashi becomes ra and the shi becomes hi. The result: warahi.
On a side note, this same syllable-parsing technique is useful in other situations too, like when trying to decipher spoken Japanese that you don’t fully understand.
This obviously isn’t a very important line in the game, but nobody really teaches or talks about this sort of thing in language classes, yet it’s so interesting to learn about. How is drunk dialogue conveyed in other languages? Share your info in the comments!
In the town of Maranda, a soldier comically chases a woman around in a never-ending circle.
In Japanese, the woman says that the soldier persistently asks her to marry him. The phrasing leaves out the subject and object, so it’s a bit of a tricky line that requires the player to fill in the blanks based on the context. But it’s at least something along the lines of “Stop asking me to marry you!” or maybe even “He won’t stop asking me to marry him!”.
Due to the unclear phrasing and a lack of context, the Super NES translator mistranslated this line as “Say, you wanna get hitched?”. It’s weird enough that I bet some players without Japanese knowledge or translation experience also felt that this line didn’t seem quite right.
Anyway, the GBA translation fixes this simple problem. The fan translation does it own translation this time, but the grammar and phrasing led to a truly bizarre mistranslation: “I’m gonna be persistent and get married!”.
Every mention of killing and dying has been wiped away from the Super NES translation so far, so it was surprising to see this mention of a family getting “slaughtered” was left untouched.
Also, I just noticed that “slaughtered” has the word “laughter” in it. That’s weird in so many ways.
Sliding Kid
A woman in Tzen mentions that her child has run off somewhere even after she said it was dangerous to go outside.
If you find and talk to the boy, he says something weird in the Super NES translation:
I said it’s dangerous outside, so you can’t go out!
That doesn’t seem right – why would he be saying that? Some chatters in the stream suggested he was making fun of his mom by repeating what she told him, but my instinct says that isn’t quite right either.
Checking the Japanese script, we see that he actually says:
Mom says I can’t play outside because it’s dangerous.
The Japanese line is very clear and straightforward, so this appears to be another weird and basic mistake by the Super NES translator. The GBA translation fixes the mistranslation, while the fan translation does its own translation of the line but gets part of it wrong and/or adds new stuff out of nowhere.
Google has changed the entire family relationship.
If you get into a battle with soldiers while exploring the Imperial capital of Vector, you’ll get sent back to the entrance of the city. Someone in the party will also say, “Danger…danger…” in the Super NES version. This line always felt strange to me, even back when the game was first released.
The Japanese line is あぶない、あぶない… (abunai, abunai...). The word abunai has a wide reach and can mean a bunch of different things, most of which boil down to “dangerous”. That’s why the Super NES line says “danger, danger”.
But in some situations – like this one in Vector – abunai is used after narrowly avoiding something, much like “That was close!” in English. The GBA translator picked up on this and updated the line to use the intended “that was close” meaning.
The fan translator wasn’t familiar with the multiple uses of abunai and went with the first translation you’d find in a dictionary. I have no idea what Google was thinking though.
Kefka Trivia
A guy in Vector’s pub shares some important story info, some of which involves Kefka’s backstory. In the Super NES translation, this guy says:
That guy Kefka? He was Cid’s first experimental Magitek Knight. But the process wasn’t perfected yet. Something in Kefka’s mind snapped that day…!
I’ve been looking forward to checking this particular line, and it seems the wait was worth it – the original Japanese text includes some extra details and some slightly different information:
They say Kefka is one of the first mages created by Dr. Cid. Supposedly there were still issues with the technology, so he wound up with extraordinary magic power, but his mind was broken.
This brings up a couple things of note:
The term “Magitek Knight” in the Super NES translation is the same 魔導士 (madōshi) term that has appeared before in the Japaense script. It’s mostly just a generic term for a wizard, mage, or sorcerer, especially in the Final Fantasy games – Rosa from Final Fantasy IV is called a “white madōshi”, for example, and Vivi from Final Fantasy IX is a “black madōshi”. Basically, the unique term of “Magitek Knight” is misleading in the Final Fantasy VI translations, as plenty of madōshis existed 1000 years ago too.
Kefka wasn’t necessarily the very first one to experimented on, as is claimed in both official translations. He was just one of the first.
The Japanese line explains that technological issues made Kefka extra powerful, but this is missing from the Super NES translation. I guess that extra detail does sort of explain how he gets so strong so quickly as the game progresses.
We can see that the GBA translation reintroduces text that was cut out of the Super NES translation, but it also leaves in the mistake about Kefka being first. The fan translation actually gets that detail correct by saying “early on” rather than “first”. But the fan translation also adds in some new text out of nowhere about how the procedure caused Kefka to hate everybody.
Getting Sick
An old man distracts some Imperial guards so the heroes can sneak by. In Japanese, the man does this by acting drunk and literally saying that he’s drunk. This line was altered to “I… I’m gonna be sick!” in the Super NES translation.
The GBA translation changes things back a little, but isn’t as on-the-nose with the declaration of drunkenness. The fan translation more or less copies the Super NES translation. Given that the fan translation also messed up the “whoopie” lady’s line back in Albrook, I think maybe the translator wasn’t familiar with the Japanese phrase for “I’m drunk”.
In Japanese, Kefka declares that he’s God. This was changed to “all-powerful” in the Super NES translation to adhere to Nintendo’s content policies at the time. The GBA translation puts the religious content back in, but also inserts the “I’m all-powerful!” line from the Super NES translation afterward. The fan translation goes with “I am a living god”.
The Statues
Kefka also announces that he’s going to revive the 三闘神 (santōshin), which we later learn are three supreme magical beings that are currently in statue form or have had important statues of them made.
This santо̄shin is of those names that can be translated in a hundred different ways with no single “correct” one. First, let’s look at the idea behind each character in the name:
三 means “three”
闘 refers to fighting, combat, conflict, strife, and that sort of thing
神 refers to gods, deities, certain types of spirits, and other things along those lines
Again, there are multiple ways of handling made-up, fictional names like this in translation. If you missed it, we previously looked at five different methods when examining the “Magicite” name.
Anyway, the Super NES translation ditches the religious references and calls them the “Statues”. I assume this short name was chosen partly with SNES memory limitations in mind.
The GBA translation drops the “Statues” name and comes up with something new: the “Warring Triad”. The fan translation chooses “Gods of Battle”, and Google simply goes with “three gods”. It’s surprising to see that the machine translation system actually understood the made-up term to some degree.
In Japanese, Ifrit mentions that he was put inside a beaker and had his power drained from him. The actual word he uses is ビーカー (bīkā), which is just the English word “beaker” pronounced with Japanese syllables.
By itself this isn’t a big deal, although when I think of a beaker I think of the small containers used in chemistry classes and not giant vats for holding living beings. Apparently every other translator felt the same way about this weird use of “beaker”, because:
The Super NES translation calls them “glass tubes”
The GBA translation calls them “capsules”
The fan translation calls them “test tubes”
This is a good example of how English words can change slightly when used in Japanese, and how translators try to compensate for such changes. I feel like there’s still some better technical English word out there for the giant glass tubes holding the Espers though.
Esper Trio
In Japanese, Ifrit mentions that he, Shiva, and Ramuh are siblings, each with their own power. This detail – and in fact this entire sentence – was dropped from the Super NES translation. The GBA translation puts it back in. The fan script makes a good attempt at translating this line, but misses the sibling part entirely and calls them “representatives” instead.
Magicite 101
Thanks to the heroes, Cid finally discovers the secret to obtaining an Esper’s full power. In Japanese, this revelation accompanies this dialogue:
So, when Espers die, they’re able to leave behind just their power…
The power contained within these stones is many times– no, HUNDREDS of times stronger than the power obtained from Espers via direct extraction…
This goes to show just how powerful Magicite is. I always knew that Magicite was stronger than the old extraction method, but not this much stronger. That’s because the Super NES translation actually drops a bunch of text in this line. The GBA translation puts the missing text back in, but removes the talk about specific numbers for comparison purposes.
The fan translation gets the line very wrong:
…So, the powers of Phantom Beasts can only truly be transferred when they die…
The true power lies hidden within the stones that Phantom Beasts leave behind when they die… All of those hundreds of Phantom Beasts…
Part of this line is based on the altered Super NES line, and the other part of the line is a complete mistranslation. It seems the translator recognized the word “hundred” in the Japanese text, but didn’t quite understand Japanese grammar enough to see how it fits into the line.
Celes’ Changes
When I first started this big comparison project, one or two people asked me to keep an eye on Celes’ speech style in Japanese, as it apparently changes over time. And it’s true: she speaks sternly and very to-the-point in Japanese at first, but as soon as she puts on the opera dress, she starts speaking more femininely and continues that way even afterward.
Of course, Celes hasn’t had many new lines of text since the opera, but I have noticed that she’s started to use the occasional feminine speech particle like wa and no.
Celes speaks firmly, sternly, and straight-to-the-point early on in the game, all in a way that's very far from the Japanese idea of "ladylike" speech
As soon as she puts the opera dress on, she starts using the feminine sentence ending particle wa
She continues to use wa even after the opera
She's also started using the somewhat feminine no sentence ending particle
Even now, far away from all the opera stuff, she uses feminine speech:
Celes uses the feminine wa without thinking, even during this tense and dangerous moment
I’ve heard her speech continues to move in this direction as the game goes on, but I don’t know if that’s true or not. As we progress through the game I’ll be sure to watch for any further developments.
READER CHALLENGE! How would you convey this change in Celes’ character in English?
Ruptured Capsules
The factory is thrown into chaos after Celes saves the day with a mystery spell. In the Japanese script, Cid says that they’re in danger because the capsules’ energy flow has reversed.
The Super NES translation mishandles the line and says that the fighting has caused the capsules to rupture and that their contents are spilling out. The GBA version properly translates the line, while the fan translation is mostly a rephrasing of the Super NES line combined with some genuinely re-translated (but mistranslated) content.
Incidentally, unlike Ifrit’s use of the word “beaker” earlier, Cid uses the word “capsule” here.
Awful Things
Cid explains how he cares for Celes and feels terrible about what he’s put her through. In the Super NES translation, he continues by saying:
But she was forced to become a Magitek Knight, and has done some awful things.
But this is incorrect. In Japanese, he actually says that he was the one who did something awful by raising/training her to be a mage.
The GBA translation fixes the mistake and uses wording that implies the “awful” idea instead of stating it outright. The fan translation follows the incorrect Super NES translation.
This translation issue isn’t as problematic as other issues we’ve seen, but since this is the first we’ve really heard about the relationship between Cid and Celes, I thought I’d mention it now in case more changes pile up later.
Meeting Maduin
Terra’s father is an Esper. In Japanese, his name is マディン (Madin), but this became “Maduin” in the Super NES translation and was kept the same in the GBA translation.
I never knew why this name change occurred or what “Madin” is even supposed to reference, if anything. Chatters in the stream looked it up and apparently it’s a reference to Máel Dúin, the main character of an old Irish tale. I can’t vouch for the accuracy of this claim, but it seems convincing enough to me.
The fan translation goes with “Madeen” to more clearly match the Japanese pronunciation of the name. But as far as I can tell, there’s no specific reference behind this spelling choice.
On a different note, the whole flashback scene that takes place in the Esper World has a strangely consistent translation issue in the Super NES version. Everyone is talking about how there’s some crazy storm going on in the Japanese script, but “storm” is almost always translated as “wind” in the SNES script. I’m not really sure why this is – all I can think of is that the Japanese character for wind (風) and the character for storm (嵐) do look somewhat similar, especially when using tiny fonts. Any other theories I come up with seem pretty weak, like trying to save game memory.
The GBA translation fixes this “wind” problem and changes everything back to “storm”. Even the fan translation and Google get the storm thing correct.
Earlier in the game, Ramuh gave a brief overview of the history of the Esper World. We discovered that the translated scripts tangle the facts up, while the Japanese script makes it very clear: after the big War of the Magi, the Espers went to some spot in this world, erected a magical barrier around it, and called it their own realm/world. But some humans eventually found them and caused trouble, so the Espers finally erected a physical door to keep the humans out for good.
The translated versions continue to use a messy mix of terms that makes it hard to follow how exactly the Esper World connects with the outside world. One example was a stream favorite: “the link between worlds”.
Madonna Talks
Terra’s mother is named “Madeline” in Japanese, but this was changed to “Madonna” in the Super NES translation. I’m not really sure why the name was changed, but her name is reverted back to “Madeline” in the GBA, fan, and machine translations.
The Super NES translation makes a major mistake with her introduction too:
Japanese Version (basic translation) Super NES Translation
Madeline: I’m Madeline. ESPER: I am Maduin.
I grew sick and tired of the human world. I tired living in the human world…
Somehow the line was taken from the girl and given to the Esper! The line was even changed to use Maduin’s name instead of Madeline/Madonna’s name.
The two names do look vaguely similar if you’re not paying attention, so my theory is that the Super NES translator mistook Madeline’s Japanese name for Maduin’s Japanese name. As a result, we never see Madonna’s name formally introduced – the text boxes just suddenly start calling her that out of nowhere. I guess that’s why this scene always felt kind of off to me – it’s a weird name that makes me think of the real world pop star and the weird name just suddenly appears.
For simplicity’s sake, I’ll refer to these characters as “Maduin” and “Madonna” in this article unless their names are part of a quote.
Gate Girl
In this Japanese line, we see that the word 門 (mon, "gate") has something in parentheses after it. That “something” is a note about how you’re supposed to pronounce the word – except in this case it’s saying to pronounce it like the English word “gate”.
If this game had been on a more modern console, we would’ve seen the text in parentheses printed on top of 門 instead. This is an example of Japanese furigana in action. The topic of furigana takes some time to explain, but it’s really interesting and helpful to know. Luckily, I wrote an entire article about it here a few years ago!
Japanese writing often has smaller writing on top of some words to aid pronunciation or to specify special stuff the author wants you to know - this guide text is called furigana
Old games handled furigana by putting the full pronunciation in parentheses, and apparently the modern mobile version of Final Fantasy VI still does it the old way too
Housing Crisis
After Imperial soldiers invade the Espers’ village, one villager says in Japanese:
Damn! Retreat to the elder’s house!
The Super NES translation gets this line wrong and instead says that the invaders have reached the elder’s house.
The GBA translation fixes this mistake. The fan translation copies the incorrect Super NES line but makes sure to put “damn” back into the line.
Group Effort
I’ve noticed that whenever Emperor Gestahl talks about stuff in the Super NES translation, he often uses the word “we” or “us”. He says stuff like:
We’ve finally found it!
We will own this world!
Just when we were in reach of a veritable bonanza…!
In Japanese, though, he’s clearly only thinking about himself and uses “I” and “me” everywhere instead. I guess you could argue that maybe he’s using ”we” in the majestic plural sense, but given how he talks otherwise in English, I don’t really feel that that’s the case.
In any case, the GBA, fan, and machine translations all follow the original Japanese text and use “I” and “me”.
Gate Closure
The Esper elder says that he intends to use a spell to get rid of the Imperial invaders and keep them out for good. Casting the spell will likely kill the elder, though.
In the Super NES translation, this information is explained like this:
MADUIN: But in your state, you might just…
ELDER: Pass away… but at least we will finally be safe.
This makes logical sense and never seemed odd to me before, but the Japanese line gives more important details:
Madin: But, if you use the Magic-Sealing Wall spell in your condition…
Elder: I might die. Once I die, it will be impossible to open the Magic-Sealing Wall ever again.
From this, we get to see that the elder has a very specific plan in place and is even counting on his death as part of that plan. I guess I never grasped the level of sacrifice involved until now.
The GBA translation puts these details back in, as does the fan translation. The Google translation gets comically close to being correct. It reminds of me funny quotes like “I’m gonna kill you to death!” for some reason.
Elder Sound
The elder has cast the big magic spell. In Japanese, his dialogue includes a sounds of being in pain, which makes sense. After all, he just said that casting the spell could kill him. The actual sound he makes is uguu, which is a clear sign that he’s in pain.
The Super NES translation keeps this sound intact… sort of. Instead of uguu or something like it, it’s now “D’goh”. I remember not understanding what this was supposed to mean, so I always assumed it was maybe a unique sound or word he uses sometimes. He does look pretty weird and all, so a weird speech quirk seemed plausible.
Anyway, the GBA translation drops this whole sound of pain thing entirely. The fan translation drops it too, and replaces it with the question “What is it?”. I’m not sure why this was done.
Foolish Care
Madonna has been sucked back out into the human world, so Maduin wants to hurry to her. The elder warns him that the magic spell has already activated, so once the gate closes, Maduin will never be able to return to the Esper World.
In response, Maduin says “That fool!” in the Super NES translation. Is he saying this about Madonna? Or maybe the Emperor? I don’t really know, because in Japanese he instead says “I don’t care!”. Basically, in the Super NES line, he’s insulting someone. In the original text, he’s fully prepared to make some self-sacrifices for his otherworldly family.
The GBA translation fixes this mistake, as does the fan translation. Even the Google translation gets it right.
Popping Out
The spell has been cast and all the humans are being sucked out of the Esper World. During this, a soldier yells “Look what popped out!” in the Super NES translation just as Maduin shows up.
The Japanese line is actually quite different though: “W-w-we’re being sucked out!”.
The GBA translation fixes this line, but uses “pushed” instead of “sucked”. The fan translation doesn’t fix the line, however. Instead, it’s “L, l, look what showed up!”, which is clearly a rephrasing of the faulty Super NES translation.
Imperial Daycare
Madonna, Baby Terra, and Emperor Gestahl all wind up in a forest somewhere. In Japanese, Madonna says something like:
Stay… away… from my child…
The Super NES translation says the exact opposite, however:
Please… take care… of my baby…
I’m not sure why this translation change happened. But this line and the “That fool” line above both use the verb 構う (kamau) in Japanese. The fact that both of these lines are so clearly wrong in the Super NES translation makes me wonder if the translator had trouble with kamau. Then again, the Super NES translation has messed up lots of lines in this little Esper World scene, so maybe something bigger than kamau was the problem here.
The GBA translation and fan translation fix this obvious problem.
The story switches back to the present day. Terra has regained her human form after reacting to her father’s Magicite. In Japanese, she says:
But I’m okay now. I can control this power as long as it’s for a short amount of time…
This ties in with Terra’s transformation ability in battle and explains why she can only stay in Esper form until her transformation bar turns empty.
The Super NES translation distorts this connection between the story and gameplay by changing this line a tiny bit:
I finally feel I can begin to control this power of mine…
It’s not much, but the omission of “for short amounts of time” left me wondering why Terra had a limit to her transformation ability in battle. I remember it feeling like it came out of nowhere, especially since there haven’t any other special skills with similar countdown bars.
Anyway, the GBA translation fixes this line. The fan translation fixes the problem too.
Man, the Super NES translation really fell apart during this section of the game. I wonder if it’ll continue to be this way. I had no idea there were this many issues until now!

I took the “Say, you wanna get hitched?” line as the woman so tired of the soldier begging her that she’d take anyone else that came along.
Blackjack August 7, 2018 at 7:09 pm
That’s what I always figured as well.
Kahran042 July 7, 2019 at 2:05 am
I’m probably in the minority here, but I always thought that the roles had been reversed in the English translation, with the woman pursuing the soldier.
CalvinJ August 6, 2018 at 4:39 pm
“The fan translation copies the incorrect Super NES line but makes sure to put “damn” back into the line.” is an amazingly perfect encapsulation of the attitude of so many early-mid 2000s fan translations.
CloudyMusic August 7, 2018 at 7:45 am
I guess we should be thankful that at least they didn’t translate “kuso” as “sh*t” as fan translators so often love to do.
Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso August 7, 2018 at 8:44 am
What’s the problem with that translation? The relative severity of it? “Shit” causes more of a reaction in English than “kuso” does in Japanese? Would “crap” be an adequated substitute for most cases?
Anon August 7, 2018 at 10:30 am
People that don’t know much about Japanese or translation tend to get annoyed when things are translated in ways they read on the Internet are bad ways to translate.
Mato touched slightly on this back in update 7, when he talked about the different ways “maseki” can be translated.
Kakahan44 August 7, 2018 at 11:43 am
It is very odd to see a curse word with a censor mark in it. At least, I think so.
Freezair August 8, 2018 at 11:45 am
My understanding of the issue is that in Japanese, “kuso” isn’t really a swear word. It does literally translate as “excrement” and is often used as an exclamation, usually when things go poorly, but it isn’t really considered a “swear.” You hear “kuso” in plenty of family-friendly media, while the same can’t be said of “shit,” or even “crap” sometimes. So depending on the context, translating it as “shit” can completely change the target audience, cause characters to speak in an overly harsh way (which may seem completely out of character), and misrepresent the intensity of a character’s feelings.
Anon August 18, 2018 at 6:30 pm
It’s not so much that it’s not “a swear word” that it is that it’s a word that hasn’t been arbitrarily decided can’t be heard by children.
The “issue” is mostly that people that don’t know a lot about languages in general think everything has a 1:1 translation. English has a LOT more words it’s “inappropriate for children to hear” than most other languages, so these people have somehow got into their heads that if a word can be used around children, it can NEVER be translated into a word that can’t be. Translations need to consider context.
Error 52 August 17, 2018 at 11:51 am
It kinda depends on the work. “Shit” is more appropriate for a show like One-Punch Man than, say, Pokémon.
Nanashi August 6, 2018 at 6:26 pm
“It’s a topic that’s not taught in schools, obviously”
From the preview images I’ve seen, Dark Horizon “textbook” (a parody of Japan’s famous ESL textbook series New Horizon) actually does seem to cover this subject briefly, albeit in the manner of introducing native Japanese speakers to how it is done in English. Given it’s supposed to introduce Japanese learning the English language to the language’s large vocabulary of casual and profane speech (and to mock it for the native English assistant teachers that had to use it) that’s not unexpected.
” I feel like there’s still some better technical English word out there for the giant glass tubes holding the Espers though.”
Vat? Tank would be slightly ambiguous if it was only used by the espers (the empire has a high enough tech for treaded armored vehicles to exist), but Cid’s use while staring right at one would make it clear. If they made humans in them, “Incubator” with a capital I (As Huxley called them in Brave New World) would work, but it wouldn’t work for FF6.
Syril August 6, 2018 at 6:28 pm
The fan translation change to Madeen was likely an attempt to bring it in line with Final Fantasy IX where a reference to him had it spelled that way.
Kakahan44 August 6, 2018 at 7:34 pm
Answer: I wouldn’t. There are some things you just can’t translate without sounding really awkward and dumb. Especially since Celes’s development is already obvious from her actions, without needing to be signposted by linguistic quirks.
Jordi Gutiérrez Hermoso August 6, 2018 at 9:41 pm
I disagree. Many westerners don’t seem to realise that the opera scene is a pivotal part of Celes’ character development in this way. Her intro blurb talks about how she’s tough, how nobody has seen the woman that she is. Once she puts on a dress, she starts acting out a feminine role she couldn’t have before. The opera is where the players and the other characters first see her as a woman. Even Locke reacts to her newfound femininity by blushing.
A lot of players I’ve talked seem to think this is too subtle without the linguistic cues of speech style. They therefore don’t really often understand that the opera is supposed to signal a transformation in Celes’s character and also literally mirrors her later suicide attempt, which is another transformation she has later.
(Celes’s character is kind of convoluted; looks like earlier drafts of the script had her allegiance being more ambiguous, since there are a couple of references to her being a spy. This seems like a plot line that was completely dropped.)
As to how to convey that, it’s difficult to do in English writing alone. You’d have to resort to tacky things like saying ending sentences with “darling” or maybe using some English diminutives like “doggy”. Perhaps I would rephrase things like “have a little faith” to “trust me, my heart remains true to your cause” or something similar that alludes to something sentimental — and a good contrast to the earlier “use your eyes and decide”. It would be easier with voice acting — the pragmatics in that case allow you to use more intonation which English writing doesn’t convey.
Anon August 7, 2018 at 3:09 am
…so you’re saying that every single English-speaking person, from Queen Elizabeth to Bob the beach drunk, talk the exact same way, and that the concept of different speaking styles is some weird Japanese thing that you’d have to be crazy to try to incorporate into English?
That’s… not really how it works.
1. I did not mean to imply anything vaguely close to what you took my words to mean. I’m sorry.
2. I was a bit sleep-deprived when I wrote what I did, so I was a bit hasty in taking a black and white view.
Conveying the way different characters come across is called character voice writing, and an inability to do so is generally the hallmark of a bad translator. Not only CAN you translate such things “without sounding really awkward and dumb”, it’s absolutely expected of any competent translator.
Fir August 6, 2018 at 8:18 pm
There’s soemthing interesting about the whole Madeline flashback. I played the GBA version’s official Spanish translation, which seems in itself to be a rather straighforward translation of the English version. When I got to that part of the game, I actually got the impression that Madeline had attempted to commit suicide and had ended in the Esper world by accident. I’m talking about the part where she says she wondered into the storm. I don’t know if it was something about the phrasing of the Spanish translation or if I was just feeling edgy that day, but I swear that’s the impression I got. I wonder if anyone else got that feeling.
Also, I’m pretty sure “Madonna” thing is a religious reference.
Ultima Spark August 7, 2018 at 5:45 pm
You know, I find this kinda funny, since the JP version has a more obvious religious reference of this sort much later on.
Nitro Indigo August 7, 2018 at 12:50 am
The furigana thing reminds me, in the Japanese version of Fullmetal Alchemist (the manga), the homunculi’s names are written as the Japanese word for their deadly sin, with the English pronunciation on top. They read both out in the Japanese version of Brotherhood, which has the side-effect of the homunculi getting epithets in the English dub to fit the timings.
Also, the GBA translation of the drunken line makes me wonder how spoonerisms are handled in translations.
Kishi August 7, 2018 at 2:18 am
Final Fantasy IX has a summon that’s called Madeen in English. When FFIX was released, fans recognized this as a reference to Madin/Maduin, so the fan translation was probably trying to make them consistent. However, their names are actually slightly different even in Japanese: Maduin is マディン, and Madeen is マディーン.
Adamant August 7, 2018 at 2:32 am
Woolsey mentioned in an interview that he had to translate a bunch of optional dialogue completely without context since the only context he had was a prior playthrough of the game that obviously hadn’t hit every single bit of optional dialogue, and that when he later replayed the game, there were several bits where he facepalmed somewhat at how he had badly misinterpreted certain dialogue that was incredibly obvious what meant in context.
I’m positive that “Wanna get hitched” line is one of those. Very obvious with the visuals present, not so much when all you have a single bit of dialogue you have no clue where in the game is even from.
>READER CHALLENGE! How would you convey this change in Celes’ character in English?
Considering this particular instance involves a soldier gradually leaving that part of her life behind, the obvious solution seems to be… well, having her talk like a soldier, then gradually dropping those mannerisms and have her talk more like your average person. Shouldn’t be the most difficult thing in the world to do.
Robert Seddon August 7, 2018 at 6:10 am
I wonder where Google got ‘devilist’ from. It seems to have a decent number of search results but it wasn’t in any dictionary I checked, which makes me suspect it’s a recent coinage.
Coda August 7, 2018 at 11:54 am
It doesn’t limit itself to complete words. It probably figured out that “-ist” is a way to translate that someone is a practitioner of something and stuck it together.
Macuelos August 7, 2018 at 12:20 pm
I believe one of the earlier scholars in the game (Figaro Castle, maybe?) had a similar field of study + suffix -ist name in the Google Translation, which struck me as a bit silly because it was sufficiently close to the official translation, yet slightly different in a comedic fashion. Perhaps the (literal) translation of all Japanese scholar titles ends in suffix -ist?
Derek B February 18, 2019 at 7:27 am
Sort of? The phrase here is 魔物学者 the last character 者 can usually be taken as “person who does the preceding.” So it functions like -ist in some ways. An alchemist is a person who does alchemy; a biologist does biology, etc… I had to check the dictionary because I usually deal with Chinese and there are usage differences, but in Japanese 医者 is a doctor (literally medical person), 学者 above is scholar (study person).
So what we ended up with is magic/devil, thing/creature, study, person (who does the preceding), or person who studies magical creatures. Which Google somehow pulled devilist out of and wasn’t really wrong.
There are little exceptions that might not fit so well with -ist. 勇者 starts with brave, but braveist would be awkward in English. Instead it’s translated either as hero or brave, as in land of the brave. Gotta keep things like that in mind.
Darien August 7, 2018 at 7:31 am
How would I show the change in Celes’ speech? I would write her pre-opera dialogue with very few adverbs, and use them much more liberally post-opera. In English, adverb usage is associated with informal, conversational speech; professional, business-like English keeps them to a minimum.
As for “Danger! Danger!,” I always assumed it was a Lost In Space reference.
peace August 7, 2018 at 8:29 am
“Warring Triad” strikes me as weird when there’s a specific English word for three divine beings. Idk it just sounds thesaurusy. Like it’s technically correct but I can’t imagine anyone describing anything as that, except a writer at the end of their rope on synonyms.
Does the Celes thing come off as kind of sexist in the original?
Kakahan44 August 7, 2018 at 8:37 am
I don’t know, “Trinity” feels too Christian to me, and Nintendo of America tends to shy from religious references like that.
I think “Triad” brings good imagery of violence to English ears, via the connexion to Chinese criminal gangs. But “Trinity” also brings divine imagery.
I believe “Triad” is the work of Slattery, whom Mato has criticised in the past for using excessively flowery language for the FFIVDS translation. I tend to like Slattery’s style, and I am so far most impressed with his work for FFVI. He struck a very nice balance between fixing errors, retranslating a song for proper rhyme and metre, and keeping fan favourite Woolseyisms. I also favour his use of flowery language in most instances.
Slattery even coined some neologisms like “Feymarch” for FFIV and is justifiably proud that his coinage has spread. I don’t even know why I understand that “Feymarch” means something like “fairy-place”. I don’t know why I know that “fey” is something like fairy, like a magical being, and “march” means a place, but I do. It’s a very good neologism.
Flowers August 7, 2018 at 9:23 pm
I don’t think Mato’s ever really “criticized” him for it so much as said it’s just not some peoples’ cup of tea. It seems to me he has a lot of respect for the skill involved in a translation like that.
astrange August 8, 2018 at 6:11 pm
Tolkein used both “fey” and “march” (more so the latter by LoTR), so you might have read it there.
Ah, thanks! I have read LotR a couple of times, so that might bee it! Seeing other words that Slattery used like “dweomer”, which seems to mostly come from D&D lore, it looks like he must be a huge high fantasy nerd. Seeing how he kept all of the fan-favourite lines for FFIV and FFVI, he’s certainly at least a big FF fan himself.
Slothsmo August 7, 2018 at 12:45 pm
SPECULATION TIME! (apologies if this has been discussed here before)
So FF6 mages (/Magitek Knights) were created by injecting magic extracted from living espers, whereas most of the game is about using extracted magic from magicite – which turns out, is some 100 times as powerful.
We know that Terra & Celes both underwent the “old-school” magic injection process, and came out with fire & ice magic, respectively. As they gain experience, they learn to use more powerful magic – much like FF mages of old. Primarily, they learn more powerful fire & ice spells. Terra turns out to be half-esper, so she’s got some extra powers going on, like morphing into a dang fireball.
Can we speculate that it was magic from Ifrit & Shiva that was injected into Terra & Celes? Was General Leo injected with Ramuh’s magic, before the latter escaped to Zozo? That would line up with Leo’s lightning magic “Shock” ability.
Seems likely that Kefka was injected with bits from all the espers he could get, seeking more power, which would explain why he sees himself as god.
In addition, Terra / Celes / Leo’s sprites roughly correspond to their magical elemental color: red fire (Terra), white/blue ice (Celes), and green lightning (Leo). Okay, so maybe yellow would make more sense for Leo. >_>
Except Leo very specifically never underwent infusion. Something to do with him being noble or something (not like nobility but in personality).
Ifrita August 7, 2018 at 1:26 pm
I don’t know about Maduin/Madin. I’ve heard for a long time that it’s supposed to be the hero from the Irish legend, Mael Duin, but something doesn’t feel right about that.
First thing, I understand that the Japanese romanization of their words can be completely off. Still, I’m curious to see how they romanized this name.
Second, they clearly got the name Cait Sith correct, even down to the pronounciation in Japanese. (Ketto Shii) Which tells me that someone researched how to pronounce things in Irish Gaelic. If that’s true, then why didn’t they get the pronunciation for Mael Duin correct? As best that I can tell, it’s pronounced something like: maul doon. (Forgive me, I am not a Gaelic scholar. I wish I knew someone who was.) But, in Japanese, the genjuu’s name is pronounced Mah-deen. If they just fudged to pronounciation, why this one and not Cait Sith, too? I just don’t buy that someone would look up one name and not the other.
That’s what makes me question this connection. Of course, if someone has some evidence, I would love to see it, and would easily change my mind.
As for how to deal with Celes’s speech differences, I would likely go from formal, clipped, terse language, to more informal, fluid, casual, language.
seifd August 7, 2018 at 5:36 pm
Madonna is actually an appropriate name for the character. Madonna comes from the Italian words “ma donna”, which means “my lady”. Starting with the Italian Renaissance, the term has been associated with paintings of Mary, the mother of Jesus, particularly images where she’s shown with Jesus as a baby or child. Madeline and Mary are similar in that they are both mothers of beings greater than themselves.
Also, about the word “laughter” being contained in “slaughter”. In The Dark Knight, there’s a scene where the Joker steals carnival truck that says “Laughter is the best medicine” on the side. However, we see that he’s spray painted an S, so that it says “SLaughter is the best medicine”.
Morgil August 7, 2018 at 7:20 pm
While that Madonna thing is true, I’m pretty sure something like 90% of Americans would hear that name and immediately think of the famous singer, especially in the time when the game first came out on the SNES.
BigKlingy August 7, 2018 at 6:07 pm
How would I convey Celes’ change? I feel like this kind of thing is a lot easier to do in English when your game has voice acting. Two examples come to mind that remind me of this.
Aigis in Persona 3. She’s a robot who gradually gains emotions over the course of her story arc. In Japanese, this was conveyed by her speaking style changing. In English, Aigis talks in “robotic monotone” to begin with (also rarely using contractions), and gradually begins to emote more as she develops, and by the end of the game she speaks normally.
Fie Claussel in Trails of Cold Steel. She starts off as a stoic, emotionless mercenary, and so her voice actress reads her dialogue in a deliberately stilted and monotone way. As she starts to open up to the group, her VA emotes a lot more, and by the second game she sounds a lot more natural. Compare Fie’s victory quote at the start of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4k7t-rmzxk to her equivalent in the second game at 0:33 of this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDW09d-OR9k
So, no answer in Japanese either on how Terra remembers something before she was born?
I always got the impression that the Gestahl we see here isn’t the real man. Killing Madonna struck me as VERY out of character for the emperor, since she was just Some Person and not a political opponent, especially in an era where he SHOULD have been wanting to learn everything he could about Espers which I would assume would include studying a woman who lived among them. But then…remember how Kefka is later able to so perfectly imitate Gestahl that even Leo is fooled? That seems like something he would do.
I also always figured that “I tired living in the human world” was a typo rather than a complete mistranslation, and that Maduin was saying he had once lived there (implying that he knew somethings about them). It’s so strange!
Tying into my earlier comment, Cid doesn’t know what Magicite is despite working with Espers for 20 years. Kefka knows it on sight. And yes I KNOW Kefka’s official backstory but what I thought for so long (and still think it would have been awesome) is that Kefka was a renegade Esper himself and that’s why the infusion had such a backfire. As it stands with him being just Some Guy, it leaves a lot of questions unanswered such as the above and the bit about Gestahl being out of character in the Esper world.
Silvery August 8, 2018 at 7:52 am
Gotta say, I quite liked the royal we used by Gestahl in the SNES version (even though it was inconsistent). It fit his character well.
Re: test tubes/capsules – test tanks, maybe?
Tom S. Fox August 8, 2018 at 9:55 am
In Italian, drunk speech is conveyed by inserting a “c” (possibly followed by an “i”) after every “s” to turn other sibilants into a “sh” sound. You can see that in this part of the Italian point’n’click adventure “The Big Red Adventure”: https://youtu.be/Kmg-DcPc9x0?t=9s
“Ehi, amico! Che ti sciuscede? Come mai quella fascia da funerale? Sciembri un cane basctonato.. Hips!”
“Hey, my friend! Washa matter wish you? Why sha long faysh? You look like a whipped dog. Hic!”
Note how “succede” (“soo-chay-day”) became “sciuscede” (“shoo-shay-day”), “faccia” (“fuh-cha”) became “fascia” (“fush-shuh”), “sembri” (“sam-bree”) became “sciembri” (“sham-bree”) and “bastonato” (“bus-toe-nah-toe”) became “basctonato” (bush-toe-nah-toe).
Interestingly, this method sometimes violates Italian spelling conventions. “Basctonato” would usually be pronounced “busk-toe-nah-toe,” since the “c” is followed by a consonant, but inserting an “i” and spelling it “bascitonato” would turn the pronunciation into “bush-she-toe-nah-toe.”
Perpetually Late August 8, 2018 at 4:46 pm
*I’m mildly disappointed that the line about Kefka being the first magical test subject was a mistranslation. The idea of him being the first added a hint of tragedy to his backstory, while him being one of the first just made it seem like it was more bad luck.
*On the other hand, I am glad that the whole idea of the Espers living in another, parallel dimension was, in fact a mistake. While I love the idea of there being a mystical realm of Espers, it never made much sense when I was a kid why a landmass breaks off onto the sky and why these statues, which were supposedly in another realm, were now here in our world and accessible. In Japanese it’s much more clear the Esper realm is a physical place in the world, just highly inaccessible.
*I got the impression it Gestahl was using “we” to lead the army and playing up the role of the leader. For him to just say “I” makes him come across as more generic in his evil and less “using Imperial loyalty” for his own ends.
*Also, I prefer the mistranslation of Madonna asking Gestahl to take care of her baby. I got the impression that Madonna was half-delirious and thought she was dying from the force of being slammed by the spell, so she asked a kindly old man a last request. However when he openly revealed his evil nature, Madonna summoned all of her strength to take Terra back, only to be knocked down, Weirdly, I didn’t get the impression that Gestahl killed her, just knocked her out.
*As for handling Celes’ pronoun change…this is one case where it would be best not to handle it at all, just leave her speech the same. To me, it was clear even as a kid the opera scene was the major event that starts more rapid changes — Celes doesn’t even have a proper character theme before then. Giving her different dialogue would be gimmicky, especially since her visuals stay the same all the game. Some changes don’t have to be conveyed through a speaking style; Celes’ actions speak for themselves.
stepped pyramids September 12, 2018 at 12:59 am
I agree with you on the Gestahl/Madonna scene. I think the mistranslation adds a bit of extra tragic flavor to the scene. I also always assumed that she had been seriously (or fatally) injured by being flung out of the cave, and that Gestahl just subdued her and left her to die.
In general, I’m surprised by how well the SNES version works despite the frequent mistranslations. I do think that some cases that Mato identifies as mistranslations could have been justified as localization choices — Kefka being “the first” rather than “one of the first” being one of those — but mostly I’m OK trusting his intuition on whether they were intentional. But I think it says something interesting about the storytelling techniques used in the 8 and 16-bit eras that you could fairly significantly garble the dialogue during translation and still get a game that more or less makes sense. I feel like that would be considerably harder with the much more intricate plotting of later generations.

I always thought it was incredibly weird how Madeline wakes up to immediately go all YOU WEAR SHINY? It makes so much more sense that he had put his pendant on her while she was recovering; her sprite even moves to the side like she’s checking it out on her own body rather than toward him to accept a proffered gift. They had to squeeze a romance out of a minute and a half, so getting that detail wrong sure messed the flow up. Instead, she hilariously sounds like a typical greedy human out to take from the espers. Or bad Crono when meeting Marle.

“Phantom bean world” Hell yeah, new Discord name.
I’m sure I had a more important comment than that, but whatever. Thanks for doing these streams/pages! I love it.

Hm I like Warring Triad from GBA. I could live with say Warring Trinity too.
You know how the news media (and general audiences) get games, science, and technology stuff wrong all the time? I feel the same way when it comes to entertainment and video game translation, so I decided to use my professional experience to shed light on this mysterious topic.

The week that went by
Post date 21 Jul 2011
No Comments on The week that went by
Some minutes into Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara(ZNMD), to be bride Kalki Koechlin announces that her would-be Abhay Deol and his long time friends would undertake a final bachelor trip across Spain and each one of them would choose an adventure trip and that the others would oblige. For all practical purposes, that is the entire story of Zoya Akthar’s second attempt in wielding the megaphone.
If Luck by Chance was a tongue in cheek look at cinema with a cheeky title, ZNMD is a lighter look at life itself. Kabir, Arjun and Imran three friends drifted away by years reunite for a long unfulfilled wish. The class differences between them are established poignantly by the choice of wardrobe and class of travel.
Hrithik Roshan plays serious Arjun, the London Stockbroker who dreams of a laidback retirement life but only if he works hard now. Parental issues and writerly dreams haunt the funny Irfan expertly played by Farhan Akthar While Abhay Deol plays the buffer between the two and has problems on his own.
The film has very little to do with adventure sports but more about the protagonists finding out what is the best way to lead a life, the film succeeds in that attempt without being preachy. The scenes in which the boys overcome their fears are inspiringly shot.
Each of the characters has their own part to play and not one bad apple could be found in this barrel of a movie in which acting is uniformly good. Worthy of mention is Katrina Kaif whose sweet candy beauty has been used unlike before to portray a free adventure seeking spirit and Kalki as Kabir’s suddenly possessive girl friend.
The expanse and culture of Spain accentuates the sequences, as do the laugh out loud funny dinner conversations between the boys. Shankar, Eshaan and Loy deliver a solid soundtrack to Javed Akhtar’s lines.
Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara is an interesting watch and will occupy a proud place in the lives of Zoya Akthar and crew. For never have the sounds of hugging and patting backs made more sense on screen. No, I have not seen Dil Chahta Hai.
While on the other hand Deiva Thirumagal suffers from the over involvement of everyone in the spotlight, consider me in the insensitive bracket but I find that most films dealing with the issues of disabilities are very much the same. It is similar to the underdog sports story in which we know right from the moment we look into that poster,what will happen in the end.
People not unlike us, seems a viable artistic option for directors out of filmable material and one more excuse for the lead actor to come up with an ‘award worthy’ performance. If directors are willing to take up the task of educating the public on the issue of autism, then a proper documentary seems to me at least a better option in achieving that goal.
Deiva Thirumagal begins in a hill station where Krishna played by Vikram is one of the assemblers at a chocolate factory. It is quite known that he has the intelligence level of that of a five year old, his wife dies during childbirth and thus begins the man’s battle for the custody of his child against a villainous father-in-law and a ‘I don’t know what i am doing in this picture’ Amala Paul.
The long and winding subplot involving MS Baskar, some stolen chocolates and suspicions of infidelity did not work at all, if its intention was to make us laugh and the indifference of the father (Sachin Khedekar) towards his elder daughter was quite un-fatherly even by cinematic standards.And not forget, that spark of love between lawyer and client introduced so that Anushka and Vikram can have a song together.
There is not that likeable tension and fiery debates between lawyers usually seen in films which conclude in the courtroom. Anushka Shetty is adequate as Anuradha the down on luck lawyer who takes up Krishna’s case and there is the ever dependable Nasser. Santhanam lights up some moments with what is given to him.
I was probably one of the few, who walked out of the theatre with dislike. No, I have not seen I am Sam.

1.1 planet. Samsung, is a family-run company,
March 2, 2019 / admin
1.1 Information about the company
The chosen company for
this report is ‘Samsung’ with its full name as ‘Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd.’
(in Korean: ????).
Samsung was made on May 1st,
1938 by Lee Byung Chull, not as Electronic company but originally as a grocery
trading store specializing in noodles and has over the years become one of the
strongest consumer electronics brands specializing in manufacturing TV, washing
machines, smartphones, microwave ovens etc. which are sold to consumers across
the world. Now, they are a South Korean multinational electronics company with
its headquarters in Suwon, South Korea. Samsung has assembly plants and sales
networks in 80 countries in the world with and total of around 308,745
employees. By watching the revenue, Samsung places as second-largest
information technology company on this planet. Samsung, is a family-run
company, this occurs often in the South Korean industry. However, there is a
down side about it, they get criticized often as for low dividend payouts and
other governance practices that only favor the controlling shareholders at the
expense of ordinary investors.
Nevertheless, Samsung is a major manufacturer of
electronic components such as lithium-ion batteries, chips, flash memories and
hard drive devices, for clients as Apple, Sony and HTC. Due to their popularity
of its Samsung Galaxy line of devices, they are also the world’s largest
manufacturer of mobile phones/smartphones. Not only that, but they also are a
major vendor of tablets and the largest television manufacturer.
1.2 Events this past year
The events that occurred this past year in 2017
for the company Samsung is first of all, the launch of their new product
Samsung Galaxy S8 & S8+ in March 2017 and the launch of the Samsung Galaxy
Note 8 in August 2017 made a big hit in that year resulting in October 2017,
Samsung having a market capitalization stood at US$372.0 billion.
Another event that happened in 2017 was about
Kwon Oh-hyun that was appointed in 2012 as their company’s CEO. The news
announced that he would resign in the coming March 2018, citing an
“Unprecedented crisis”. His resignation
that was announced on 12th October of 2017 was the same day the firm had
forecasted the record quarterly profits, citing a higher memory chip pricing.
Mr. Kwon that worked 32 years as the CEO said that he had been thinking about
his departure “for quite some time” and could “no longer pull it off.” This
might result into a crisis, but in response to the criticism about the
resignation, a spokesperson of the company Samsung Electronics has told the BBC
that a successor would be appointed “soon” but could not give a timeframe yet. (BBC News, 2017)

Raf Simons FW17 - Walk with meWords by David Valinskiy
Raf Simons FW17
Standing in the Gagosian Gallery on 21st street in the middle of a large swarm of journalists Raf Simons explains his Walk with me invitation message and directives for the activist show dedicated to New York. Elaborating the idea of being fearless, Raf encourages young people to resist and listen to the inner voice.
“When you first come to New York you mostly end up at places that are very touristic, like Statue of Liberty, Times Square. You see all these “Thank you”, “ I ♥ you” kind of things. I’m coming to New York for more than 20 years, and now I’m in a different environment. So, I wanted to go back and combine the feeling of how I experienced the city in the beginning with how I experience it now. It’s an old attraction to the city, what it stands for, combined with what’s happening now... There were a lot of contrasts: naivety and awareness, female and male, scotch tape and sophisticated dress codes.”
About the references
“In a mindset I wanted to refer punk, but not aesthetically. Punk was a reaction from younger generation to the things that were happening. You can only speak up, I think, and bring a kind of energy and things that stands against it. I think that was my challenge.”
About fearlessness
“We have to activate the possibility of using our voice. The fearless part is important and not only in a political context. But in fashion and art and architecture and writing, we should be more fearless. We don’t have to behave like people are expecting us to behave or not behave like everybody else is behaving.
I think when you have a voice and you want to have a voice, you cannot just kind of walk around and do your thing. When you have a voice, you should use it.”
David Valinskiy

Home Cover We didn’t endorse Atiku – Middle Belt Forum
We didn’t endorse Atiku – Middle Belt Forum
Atiku
A spokesman of the Middle Belt Forum has denied endorsing the presidential ambition of Atiku Abubakar, the candidate of the Peoples Democratic Party in the 16 February election.
“There was no time when we came together as a people to endorse Atiku Abubakar as our candidate in the 4th coming elections. Atiku Abubakar is not our candidate and will never be”, said Middle Belt Forum spokesman, Gowon Egbunu.
“Beloved Middle Beltans, take that as fake news and go about your normal business. If there’s a need to endorse any candidate, you will be communicated accordingly”, Egbunu, who is director of media and publications for the forum said.
“This is to clear the air and put the records straight, that, Middle Belt people are honest and highly principled people, who will not sell their conscience for a loaf of bread.
“I watched and listened with regret, one Dr. Bitrus Pogu, the Chairman of Chibok community in Abuja, on Channels Television a while ago, claiming to be speaking for the Middle Belt Forum”.
In a statement on Sunday, Atiku Abubakar claimed to have the endorsement of some regional groups such as Afenifere, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, Northern Elders Forum, Pan-Niger Delta Forum and the Middle Belt Forum.
He said the endorsement “is a loud statement that there is hope for our country as we go to the polls in a few days”.
Today we put aside all our prejudices to elect a President with religion and ethnicity playing no role in our elections.
“I profusely thank our Leaders across the country who have created this wonderful moment for us to come to the table of brotherhood. Once again, and in the words of our old National Anthem, we can proudly sing: “Though tribes and tongues may differ, in brotherhood we stand”.
In another reaction, Festus Keyamo described the whole politics of endorsement as Voodoo.
Festus Keyamo said on Channels TV that those who endorsed Atiku are persons who the masses do not listen to anymore.
He spoke as a guest on Channels Television’s Sunday Politics.
He dismissed the endorsement of Atiku Abubakar by the Leaders of the Ohaneze Ndigbo, Northern Elders Forum, Pan-Niger Delta forum, the Middle Belt Forum, and a faction of Afenifere, as inconsequential.
“There is nothing that is as fraudulent as known PDP members and sympathisers putting on the apparel of social-political groups and endorsing their own political parties”.
He further noted that “President Buhari is an unusual leader, he has managed to navigate his way through these middlemen and he has reached the people directly in this country”.
The Senior Advocate went on to challenge the socio-political groups to a popularity contest in states where President Muhammadu Buhari is yet to hold his presidential campaign.
“I want to challenge the so-called groups now, we are still on our campaign rally. Let them call a rally the same day we arrive their region, I am challenging them openly, I am challenging the faction of Afenifere: we have not gone to Lagos, we have not gone to Ekiti, the day we are arriving Lagos, I am challenging Afenifere to call a rally of Yoruba people at another venue in Lagos and let us see the turn out”.
The challenge was also thrown to the other socio-political groups including the Middle Belt Forum.
“I am challenging the middle belt forum, we have not gone to Benue, we have not gone to other places; to know how connected you are with your people, I challenge you to call a rally the same day we are arriving the middle belt and let us see the turn out at your rally and our rally” Keyamo challenged.
The lawyer argued that the leaders of these regions do not have the ears of the people again.
“The people don’t listen to them again. These are people who have over time represented their own interest and of course they are in tune with the philosophy of Atiku Abubakar who says that he will enrich his own friends. So like bees are attracted to honey, these people are attracted to Atiku Abubakar who wants to enrich his friends”.

HCL Chapter 113: Seeking Perfection
Posted on June 13, 2017 by mike777ac
A humanoid body was slowly being constructed within that strange egg that Minari had created. It was three meters tall, but curled up like a fetus in a womb. There were only two eyes, a nose, a single mouth, long black hair and pointed elven ears… The face was similar to Michael’s, but less masculine and slightly reminiscent of Alice in her ‘Fairy’ form. Two obsidian gazelle horns grew from the temples, covered in golden runes.
“Honestly, I always used to think JJ was an idiot… But when it comes to runecraft and magical inscriptions, her understanding is really amazing. No, maybe it’s the combination of Michael’s writing skills, mixed with Talia’s musical knowledge and Jasmine’s crafting abilities… It’s really fucking impressive, hehehe~!”
It wasn’t only the horns; all the silver bones within that body were inscribed with black runes. They were essentially simple command codes, which would automatically control mana in various ways. For example, all of those Legacy items were able to imbed themselves within a person’s soul and be reconstructed through mana later on if necessary. The same thing could be done to all sorts of objects, including bodies. DNA was a blueprint for ‘growing’ most biological organisms, but to directly replicate all the materials involved… It required mana and runework.
Although mana is important, knowledge is the most valuable part of a Soul. It wasn’t only about personality traits and remembering simple information either. Once someone reached the Deity Realm, they would be able to replicate that body later on. This was the reason why the Original Seven Souls were so valuable. If an Eternal Deity was able to gather enough of those fragments together, then they would be able to escape the Karma System… To be able to free themselves from the constraints of Karma and become a true ‘God’. At least, that was the most common belief.
Aside from Arcana and Sariel, there were only a handful of Legendary Eternal Deities. Everyone else was more interested in the ancient Legacies that those Original Seven Souls had left behind. In fact, one of those so-called Legacies was ‘Rapture-777’… Also known as Michael Cinagra.
“You mentioned that you wanted to create a ‘perfect’ body earlier. Yet you decided to create reproductive organs for yourself. Were you not concerned about creating an unnecessary weakness?”
At the ethereal woman’s question, Minari opened her crimson cat-like eyes and glanced down at her chest. There were pectoral muscles, but also perky feminine breasts and pink nipples. Below that was rippling abs and a naturally hairless groin.
She smirked and explained “Look, I decided to make my pussy an innie! Besides that, my asshole is amazingly tight… Actually, it doesn’t even matter if they try to shove a fucking spear up either of my holes, because I’ll be wearing armor all the time.”
After that, she flexed her bulging biceps, triceps and thighs. However, they immediately started shrinking down and becoming lithe. Minari’s body might have evolved and become much less malleable, but every one of her seven foundations were shapeshifters. It would be stranger if she was confined to a single form.
“Strength is nice… But bulging muscles can limit flexibility and agility. There are times when delicacy is needed, rather than brute force.”
When she reached two meters in height, her face warped into one that resembled a fusion between Talia and Elina. Those crimson eyes turned bright-green, while her pupils became round. Then a vertical golden cat-like eye opened up on her forehead, though it didn’t release a deadly blast of Light mana.
The black hair turned blonde, while two pure-white dove-like angelic wings unfolded from her back. They had been hidden within her three-meter body, rather than created on the spot in order to fulfil a temporary need. This way, they would be just as powerful as the rest of her ‘Divine’ form.
Arcana smirked, whispering “The more fundamental reason is that you simply like the way that you look. You are not the only person who has fumbled upon their pursuit of ‘perfection’, in order to satiate their vain desires.”
“Well, you gotta admit though. There’s a reason why Charisma is one of the main stats. Aesthetically pleasing motherfuckers are a lot more tolerable than ugly-ass bastards, right? Hahaha~! No, but seriously, even if I wholeheartedly focused on making a warmachine… What would be the point? There are all kinds of overpower assholes out there who could insta-kill me regardless of how hard I try to fight.”
After that, those two massive wings split into four smaller ones. Then that feminine body shrunk down even more and bulked up again. Even her vagina turned inside out and fused together with her clitoris in order to swiftly transform into a penis, while two testicles descended from within her groin. Aside from that, the two green irises turned golden, while the vertical eye closed up.
The angelic man had porcelain skin and silver hair, while his face appeared almost identical to Michael’s. However, his blood remained crimson, so his lips, genitals and other sensitive areas didn’t turn golden.
“Of course, I’ll probably always prefer this shape the best… At the very least, it might be easier to avoid getting raped by some OP-cuntbag. Although, when I think about it, wouldn’t they all be shapeshifters too? Wait, you’re a Deity right? How often do they go around raping each other? Chaotica has tried to ‘seduce’ me a bunch of times, but never just force-fucked me.”
“It entirely depends on the rules of that universe. There are some universes where the laws are so strict, that Worldly Deities are forced to live as powerless Mortals. In others, even Mortals might be able to create and destroy planets through various means. As you often say… Everything is relative.” Arcana sighed and shook her head, “Once this body of yours is completely formed, you will need to face your Divine Tribulation.”
“And what the fuck does that mean exactly?” Michael smirked, as he started growing taller again. Those wings were sucked inside of his back and melded with his musculature, while his whole body reached four meters in height. His lips, veins and eyes turned pitch black, while only his irises were like bright-blue rings. As for his porcelain flesh, it was swiftly covered by crimson scales and a long serpentine tail emerged from the base of his spine. His genitals had been sucked inside of his body, but then even his anus was sealed up by protective scales.
Then his hair was sucked into his scalp, because every strand was actually filled with massive amounts of mana. It was incredibly precious and couldn’t simply be discarded after every transformation like before. Unfortunately, before he could complete the process, he suddenly started reverting back to his previous form.
“Shit! No, it’s still not fucking good enough! I keep trying to make it too complicated! There are too many moving parts, if you know what I mean? Like… The wings are cool and I love having a tail, but it’s kinda pointless. I don’t even need wings to fly anyway! Ugh, but I really like wings… I wanna be fluffy and furry too, but scales are awesome and… Ugh, what the hell is happening? No, that’s not possible!”
As Minari’s mind became more conflicted, her fusion started to fail again. Arcana murmured “Your Divine Tribulation is beginning soon… If you are not ready to face it, we will both suffer immensely.”
“Goddamn it! Don’t worry, I’ll get my shit together! Grah~! Fucking cuntwaffles! That’s it! That’s the trick! Nyahahaha~! I’m a genius as always! I totally forgot about the Soul Realm! Why am I worrying about running out of space to build stuff, when I can totally just disassemble the parts and store them away for later use! Ah, no, even better nyah~! I’ll make a super-awesome mecha-suit and-and-and~, fuck! No! I mean, yeah, that first idea was okay… We only need to settle for a simple body now though. All that superfluous shit can come later. Whether it’s wings, armor or whatever, it can all be created or found. I’m going back to my origins… Yeah, Michael… I’m Michael Cinagra.”
Those four fluffy white wings on the man’s back, were ripped off and dropped into his Soul Realm. The same thing happened to the horns. Then those elongated ears shrunk back down, while his black hair grew out until it was down to his eyebrows. His porcelain skin became tanner and rough, while a short beard began growing. Hair sprouted on his arms, legs, chest, abdomen, back and genitals. He was starting to look ‘human’ again. Even his height was reverting back to five and a half feet.

There was no reply from the illusory elf. She just sighed and shook her head in disappointment. The Worldly Tribulation had begun.
I’m currently editing chapter “114: The Worldly Tribulation” and I’ve got to say… It’s probably one of my favorite chapters of Hardcore Legacies lol. I’ll be posting it soon, but well, I think you’ll understand why I like it when you read it roflmao.
Also, if you’re wondering why this story is ‘suddenly’ turning into a xianxia, it’s not really sudden. From the very start, all these stories about gradually growing more powerful or leveling up are kind of similar in the sense that they all involve breaking through limitations and ascending to higher realms. I’ve obviously been influence from years of exposure to xianxia-radiation, but still…

Social Mobility In Early Careers: How Can Employers Do Better?
By Monica Jinabhai
Supporting students to be their best
With more employers than ever turning to digital engagement, we felt compelled to address its impact on students, particularly those from lower socio-economic backgrounds so that employers can better understand the challenges they face.
Belonging and Inclusion Lead Jodie Grove hosted a Q&A with Lazard’s Graduate Recruitment specialist Tracey Abayeta, James Akinyemi, currently on the graduate scheme at St. James’s Place Wealth Management, and Employer branding expert, Steve Keith, The Branding Man.
Sharing their personal and professional insights, our panel discussed how employers can better connect with students from all walks of life and support them to be their best throughout their recruitment journey.
Here are some of the key questions our panel discussed. You can watch the full recording here.
How has the increased use of digital engagement impacted students, especially those from lower socio-economic backgrounds?
On the whole, our panel agreed that there’s a lot to celebrate. Despite the challenges brought about by Covid-19, the move from physical to digital candidate engagement encouraged by remote working regulations has allowed recruitment teams to broaden their reach and gain exposure with students from a diverse range of backgrounds.
Alongside her role at Lazard, Tracey is also the founder of Opportunity Central which seeks to support students from underrepresented backgrounds by boosting their awareness of career opportunities.
Drawing upon her recent conversations with Sixth form students, Tracey described their – “sense of relief” – at no longer feeling – “excluded” – from events due to travel commitments.
Tracey went onto discuss Lazard’s Spring Board programme and how virtual engagement has opened up an avenue for creativity:
“When we did our spring program, we had to pivot that to a fully virtual program. We had people participating as far as Singapore, all over the world – I think there’s a lot of opportunity that firms have and they can be creative about how they are reaching out to broader pools of students.”
With over 10 years’ experience in recruitment, ex teacher turned employer branding expert, Steve Keith highlighted the importance of embracing chance.
Steve explained, “The organisations that have taken advantage have been the ones that have been flexible and maybe have had conversations internally with stakeholders that have been willing to actually grasp this as an opportunity.”
Whilst online engagement brings opportunity, employers also need to be mindful of the challenges this medium can bring.
From sharing one device per household to knowing how to present yourself on a video call, students are not just facing barriers in the physical world but the virtual world too.
Recent graduate and mentor James Akinyemi shared his thoughts:
“A lot of students coming from lower socioeconomic backgrounds don’t necessarily have that confidence to advertise themselves. There’s a lot of internal doubt. They think they’re not suitable for certain role.”
James expanded; ““Video interviews were always something that was a daunting process for me and I’m sure that’s similar across a lot of other students that were applying for roles.”
These comments highlight the importance of building the confidence of prospective candidates so that they feel able to apply and succeed.
At Meet & Engage, many of our early careers clients such as Arup, Chivas Brothers and Bank of England to name a few host online group chat sessions prior to a video interview to give candidates the opportunity to ask questions, seek support and boost their confidence.
To ensure candidates have every opportunity to attend, several clients repeat these sessions so that candidates have access to the information they need to perform at their best. Clients typically see a huge improvement in an attendee’s performance due to being better prepared.
Are companies seeing digital engagement as an opportunity to reach a wider pool of candidates?
Our panel agreed that organisations are seeing the digital tools that they’ve had to deploy as an opportunity to extend their reach.
With time zone and location no longer being a barrier, Tracey highlighted the value of engaging candidates globally and how it can be an easy way to connect your current talent to future talent.
“It’s a great opportunity to have a wider range of your people involved. If you are a global organization, you may have some great people in the US that could actually be great role models and really inspiring to a particular group of people elsewhere.“
For Steve, digital engagement has also presented employers with an opportunity “to build trust and a relationship with a candidate”.
Do you think online engagement would have had much of an impact for you?
To understand things from a graduate’s perspective, Jodie asked James whether more online engagement would have made a difference during the application stage. James shared:
“I think that a lot of students are eager to build their brand and better themselves in order to become more attractive to recruit. A lot of students have recently lost graduate roles or offers that they received earlier on in the year – if there’s still opportunities to learn about other brands and what other companies are doing, it would only make sense to jump in.”
Following on this from this, Jodie asked James if employers should be using digital engagement as an opportunity to give back.
James explained, “Now it’s more of a humanity piece, I’m considering what people are going through. It’s a good time to give back and educate, especially students, about just the intricacies of working in the different industries we may be working within, not necessarily all about technical skills but having soft skills in communication, negotiation, understanding how to use different office tools as well.”
Steve added his thoughts:
“I think it’s a big time for transparency and honesty.”
Steve continued, “The more that employers can be doing and, in my opinion, should be doing to develop those skills and work in partnership with careers leaders in schools, the better.”
It’s certainly something we’re seeing our clients deploy. Nationwide host weekly CV and Interview skills workshops using Meet & Engage Group Chat and others such as Amazon have hosted Live Streamed sessions around remote working tips and preparing for virtual interviews.
Do you think businesses should be opening up to talk to teachers and parents more about opportunities and apprenticeships versus going to university?
Tracey strongly agreed, “Being able to engage parents I think will always be helpful”. As a mother herself, Tracey explained that attending physical events whilst working full-time can be a challenge and so, virtual events can be a more convenient option.
“If I’m in the middle of making dinner, I might be able to hop onto this information call that will be able to just give me a bit more insight in terms of what my son is thinking for his future”.
From her work with young people, Tracey also talked about the pressure students feel to perform well and the importance of reassuring them that “A-levels do not determine your future”.
Tracey went onto say; “I think in this environment, organizations should be making sure that you’re leveraging your people, giving relatable mentors to young people, getting them in front of the audiences you’re trying to reach.”
Based on attendance feedback and research from Bright Network, our clients know that candidates appreciate the opportunity to speak to someone of a similar background who has experienced the same things.
Tracey supports this:
“Some of the greatest events is just somebody that knows what it’s like to be like me, doing my A-Levels, maybe I don’t have any idea what I want to do, they can give you practical advice and share their insights. Those authentic conversations are probably more valuable than that immersive, technology savvy, simulation event that you’re trying to recreate for the purposes of a virtual event.”
James added, “the emphasis should be put more on employers thinking about how to create opportunities to learn”.
Capgemini have hosted Meet & Engage Group chats for parents and teachers so that they can be better informed to support young people.
Are Virtual Internships the way forward?
With so many organisations having to change direction with their internship programmes, we were keen to understand this transition from an employer’s perspective.
Tracey explained, for Lazard, it was important to keep the ‘substance’ and ‘objective’ the same, “the business world had to adapt to working remotely” and so things are ‘no different’ for interns.
“We wanted candidates to get authentic exposure to our business, our people. It’s much shorter, but actually we were able to deliver that. They didn’t go into the office, but they were an integrated member of the team, remote working member of the team and it worked. I think this is why being able to adapt and pivot very quickly is important.“
Along with Lazard, countless organisations have proved that it is possible to deliver an engaging programme online but Steve raised an important point around ensuring support networks are in place.
“Young people struggle with the transition from education into the workplace, particularly when they’re from a disadvantaged background. The support is absolutely critical and it’s very easy in a digital space to hide or if you’re not used to saying, ‘I need help’, or, ‘I don’t know what I’m doing’, then you can just kind of fade into the background.”
Whether it’s daily check-ins through Slack or regular video calls, keeping in touch so that interns feel connected, valued and appreciated matters now more than ever. In a recent blog, we share some simple and effective ways for maintaining contact with candidates.
How do brands ensure that the people who are joining have the same experience as those who have been through the traditional face-to-face process?
We all know what makes a good onboarding experience in the physical world – a tour of the office, a bite to eat or perhaps a drink after your new joiner’s first day, but employers are now having to think outside the box to maintain and deliver a great experience.
Steve’s top tip was to focus on ‘moments of communication’ and make a lasting impact, it could be scheduling a virtual coffee for instance but, “digital has an informal feel to it” – so don’t be afraid to make things informal.
Today’s students may have grown up with FaceTime and video calls, but Tracey explained that they can become ‘scary’ once a label is applied.
James expanded on this;
“A lot of graduates, especially coming out of university, have a perspective of what the working world and professionalism looks like – I think it’s important that as we are redefining what online engagement looks like, we shouldn’t be too quick to remove human connection.”
So, the key is to use virtual engagement technology to build meaningful conversations and keep things human so that your new joiners feel connected to you and your organisation.
To sum up, the takeaways from our discussion were; Take the time to understand the barriers and concerns facing students, be authentic and show understanding, utilise your current talent and embrace change, rather than fear it.

Fact check: NAPO lied about NPP promise of building 350 SHS
The Minister of Education, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh has been exposed for lying about the NPP’s promise to build 350 Senior High Schools (SHSs) when they are voted for.
Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh in an interview on Accra-based Asempa FM’s Majority Caucus programme denied claims that the NPP said it will build 350 schools.
According to him, they are lies been peddled by the opposition National Democratic Congress which cannot be proven.
He asked the NDC to show him which page of the NPP manifesto for 2012 and 2016 where they stated that they were going to build 350 schools from the scratch.
“The people in NDC are saying that Nana Addo said he will build 350 schools. They should tell me the book they found that in. Our manifesto for 2012 and 2016 are there, they should show me the page on which that can be found. We never said we will build 350 schools, in fact, there is nowhere in the 2016 manifesto that we said we were going to build schools,” he said in an interview on Accra-based Asempa FM which was monitored by MyNewsGh.com.
But video evidence proves that the then-candidate Akufo-Addo promised to build 350 Senior High Schools and also work at expanding infrastructure in the existing Senior High Schools across the country.
Akufo-Addo is on record to have said in Navrongo in the Kasena-Nankana Municipality that “we plan a rapid development of educational infrastructure in the first eighteen months of the next NPP government. This will involve the building of 350 new Senior High Schools from scratch whiles rehabilitating and expanding existing ones. The schools will be spread across the length and breadth of this country”.

Out of a tragedy, socially responsible fashion
by Steve Hargreaves @hargreavesCNN April 23, 2015: 6:06 PM ET
These images were tweeted out using the #whomademyclothes hashtag
Who are you wearing?
On the two-year anniversary of the deadly Bangladeshi clothing factory collapse on Friday, a coalition of socially responsible companies and activists are asking people to post their shirt tag photo on social media using #whomademyclothes.
"It should be a a simple questions to answer," said Maxine Bédat, a campaign organizer and co-founder of the online retailer Zady. "But the fact is, many brands don't know."
Even after the Rana Plaza disaster -- which killed over 1,100 people -- Bédat said many clothing companies still outsource production to factories that pay too little, pollute too much, and put too many people at risk.
"They area called shadow factories," she said, explaining that the clothing brand may sign a contract with one factory, which it audits, but then that factory outsources the work elsewhere. "They have to do that to produce at the cost and the speed they are being asked to."

Borrowing from the Slow Food movement -- which is supposed to be everything fast food is not -- Bédat and others are part of what's becoming known as 'slow fashion.' They aim to make clothes from sustainably produced fibers, cut and sewn in safe, clean factories, and made by people paid a living wage.
While the clothes may be more expensive to buy, Bédat said clothes like this are better made and therefore last much longer.
The goal of Friday's campaign -- known as Fashion Revolution Day -- is to both get people thinking about where their clothes come from and to show major clothing companies that the public cares.
"Brands are always looking for the next trend to follow," she said. "People have a chance to say that it's sustainability."
The effort is unfolding across 71 countries and involves companies including American Apparel, Patagonia and Eileen Fisher.

Los Angeles Amateur Radio Club (LAARC) Hosts Annual Field Day Exercises
By Sentinel News Service
On Saturday June 23, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., the Los Angeles Amateur Radio Club (LAARC) will be taking part in annual Field Day exercises along with thousands of other amateur radio clubs across the country. The LAARC will set up for Field Day on the campus of California State University Dominguez Hills, 1000 East Victoria St., Carson, California 90746, in Parking Lot P1 on the northeast end of the campus east of Birchknoll Drive. Throughout the country, more than 35,000 people will be participating, with ham radio operators setting up radio stations in unusual locations and making contact with others as a display of emergency communications capabilities.
In the past year alone, ham radio operators have made headlines with their communications work during wildfires, floods, tornadoes, and other crises. In addition, hams provide supplemental communications when normal systems are rendered inoperable or overloaded. Using ham radios is also an easy and fun way to learn the basics of electronics, physics, meteorology, and electrical engineering.
All members of the public are invited to attend and to try out receiving calls, observe how amateur radio volunteers set up emergency field operations for communication purposes, and learn more about radio operations and equipment. For more information or to confirm your visit, please contact LAARC Board member LaVerne Carter KJ6OSV at (323) 681-1901 or email us at w6pch@laarc.club

Oceans Restored: the 2050 Deadline
A study published in Nature on April 2, 2020 claims that marine ecosystems could recover in just 30 years because of the growing success of conservation efforts and the ocean’s remarkable resilience. Some of these conservation efforts include the increase in Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) from less than 1 percent in 2000 to almost 8 percent today and the restoration of key habitats such as seagrass beds and mangroves
One great success is the restoration of humpback whales that migrate between Antarctica and eastern Australia. Their numbers have rebounded from a few hundred in 1968 to more than 40,000 today. Sea otters in Western Canada have also jumped from dozens in 1980 to thousands. Green turtles in Japan, grey seals and cormorants in the Baltic and elephant seals in the United States have all also made remarkable comebacks. However, “If we don’t tackle climate change and raise the ambition and immediacy of these efforts, we risk wasting our efforts,” Duarte, one of the authors of the study, told BBC News. The initial price tag on all this is hefty: $10 to $20 billion a year until the 2050 recovery date.

Perth makes splash with marine conference win
Western Australia expects A$10m into local economy from 2,000 delegates after securing 25th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals
6th August 2020 | Posted by Martin Donovan
IN A MAJOR win for Western Australia, the world’s largest marine mammal conference will be held in Perth in 2023, bringing thousands of marine experts from around the world and injecting A$10 million into the local economy.
Business Events Perth secured the successful bid to bring the 25th Biennial Conference on the Biology of Marine Mammals to Perth in December 2023.
Gareth Martin
As the largest conference of its kind, it is expected to attract more than 2,000 members of the Society for Marine Mammals (SMM) to Western Australia over eight days, including pre and post touring to the regions, generating more than $10 million in direct delegate expenditure (DDE).
“This is welcome news for Western Australia and comes at a crucial time for the local business events industry, which has been impacted significantly by the coronavirus pandemic,” said Gareth Martin, Business Events Perth chief executive.
“We are proud to secure such a high-profile event for the state, and regional Western Australia will also benefit with many delegates dispersing to our regions to experience our marine mammals firsthand.”
The event was secured with support from Tourism Australia’s Business Events Bid Fund Program while Business Events Perth proposed an attractive funding package.
Federal Minister for Tourism Simon Birmingham said Western Australia was renowned for its spectacular, unspoilt marine environments making it fitting for Perth to host the event.
More… Perth triumphs at Dreamtime
“This conference will provide a boost to the local economy and give businesses confidence in the road ahead as the industry begins to rebuild from the impacts caused by coronavirus,” said Birmingham.
“Lucrative business events such as these require significant planning and by securing them now we are not only looking to the long-term recovery of our tourism industry but ensuring Australia is kept front of mind for decision makers as a world-class events destination.”
Perth was up against competing bids from China and Singapore.
President-Elect of the Society for Marine Mammalogy Charles Littnan said: ““Our members will be traveling from around the world to share their cutting-edge science at the conference and take advantage of all that Western Australia has to offer.”

Jets' Siemian (ankle) reportedly headed for MRI
Jets quarterback Trevor Siemian sustained an ankle injury and exited the field midway through the second quarter of New York’s Monday night game against the Cleveland Browns, and he didn’t return to action.
The Jets announced in-game that Siemian’s ankle ailment was being evaluated. After the Jets’ 23-3 loss, multiple media outlets reported that Siemian will undergo an MRI exam Tuesday.
Jets' Siemian (ankle) reportedly headed for MRI Back to video
Siemian was injured when he was hit by Browns defensive Myles Garrett after throwing a deep incompletion in East Rutherford, N.J. Siemian’s toes pressed into the turf and his left leg twisted as he felt the brunt of the weight of his lower body plus Garrett’s body weight falling on him.
Siemian was able to walk off the field and soon was taken into the locker room for observation. He had completed 3 of 6 passes for 3 yards.
Garrett tweeted postgame, “I want to wish @TrevorSiemian a speedy recovery. We put our bodies on the line every single snap, and I wouldn’t wish an injury on anyone.”
Luke Falk, a former star quarterback at Washington State, replaced Siemian and finished 20 of 25 for 198 yards.
Siemian started Monday because Sam Darnold was out due to mononucleosis.

The Eyewriter costs only US$50 to make and is constructed using a hacked PS3 Eye and a cheap pair of sunglasses
For any person, the onset of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and associated loss of muscle function is a heartbreaking event, but for an artist the loss of creative expression must be felt keenly. Members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks, the Graffiti Research Lab, and The Ebeling Group communities have teamed-up with legendary LA graffiti writer, publisher and activist Tony Quan, aka Tempt One to develop a low-cost, open source eye-tracking system that will allow graffiti writers and artists with paralysis to draw using only their eyes. Their product, the Eyewriter, recently won the Interactive Award at the celebrated Brit Insurance Design Awards.
ALS is a form of motor neurone disease, a fatal, neurodegenerative disease caused by the degeneration of motor neurons; the nerve cells in the central nervous system that control voluntary muscle movement. The condition, often called Lou Gehrig's Disease, causes muscle weakness and atrophy throughout the body as both the upper and lower motor neurons degenerate, ceasing to send messages to muscles. Unable to function, the muscles gradually weaken, develop fasciculations (twitches) due to denervation, and eventually atrophy. Tony Quan was diagnosed with ALS in 2003, and like many other ALS patients, for instance renowned physicist Stephen Hawking, was left almost completely physically paralyzed except for his eyes.
The Eyewriter project is an ongoing collaborative research effort to empower people who are suffering from ALS with creative technologies. It has two aims; firstly, the hardware component - to make the most simple and inexpensive eye-tracking headset possible; secondly, to integrate this with free and open source EyeWriter software for commercially available eye tracking devices.
The first time Tony Quan aka Tempt One used the Eyewriter he was thrilled. “That was the first time I’ve drawn anything since 2003! It feels like taking a breath after being held underwater for 5 minutes.”
The information for constructing the headset has been made freely available on the Eye Writer website and they are keen to see what modifications other people make to the design, thereby encouraging the sharing of information. Their version costs only US$50 to make and is constructed using a hacked PS3 Eye and a cheap pair of sunglasses, used in combination with a computer. A PS3 eye tracks movement of the artists' pupil and translates this to the screen.
Their long-term goal is to create a professional/social network of software developers, hardware hackers, urban projection artists and ALS patients from around the world who will use local materials and open source research to creatively connect and make eye art.
Some of these international initiatives have seen them taking the know-how to Mumbai, where they have blogged their progress haggling prices and building the headset from local materials. Additionally they teamed up with Recyclism initiative "Printball" to recreate Temptone's Eyewriter art via a paintball gun. The Eyewriter team have also undertaken low-key publicity events 'tagging' buildings in downtown LA via projections created in real time from Tony's hospital bed. They are currently looking to recruit hackers and developers interested in new audiences.
The core development team on the project consists of Tony Quan, Evan Roth, Chris Sugrue, Zach Lieberman, Theo Watson and James Powderly, members of Free Art and Technology (FAT), OpenFrameworks and the Graffiti Research Lab. They credit founding support from The Ebeling Group and the Not Impossible Foundation, and addition support from Parsons Communication Design & Technology.
The Brit Insurance Design of the Year Award is an international competition honoring design excellence in products, ecodesign, interaction design, packaging, strategy, research and concepts, and was judged this year by a panel including sculptor Anthony Gormley, designer Tom Dixon and journalist Janet Street Porter. Winning the Interactive Brit Insurance Design Award will elevate their project to a wider arena and hopefully stimulate funding and publicity to further their product development.
Of the project Tony Quan said: “Art is a tool of empowerment and social change, and I consider myself blessed to be able to create and use my work to promote health reform, bring awareness about ALS and help others.”

(Reuters) – The Federal Reserve is set to take a “patient” approach to policy decisions this year given there is good U.S. economic momentum but also a slowdown overseas, Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida said in a television interview on Monday.
“We can afford to be patient in 2019, there is good momentum,” he said on Fox Business Network, adding U.S. central bankers will decide interest rates on a “meeting by meeting” basis in the months ahead.

76% of This Year’s ICOs Are Already Under Water
2018 has been a tough year for the cryptocurrency markets, and crowdsales have borne the brunt of it. ICOs launching in the first quarter of this year have struggled to turn a profit, with the majority of exchange listed tokens trading at a loss, both in USD and ETH terms. As a consequence, pre-sales provide the only means of turning a profit – and even that’s a long shot.
Also read: Many Token Crowdsales No Longer That Open to the Crowds
76% of ICOs Are in the Red
At MIT Bitcoin Expo on Saturday, Christian Catalini claimed that “40% to 50% of ICOs are currently underwater – trading at a price lower than the initial offering price”. Having examined the data for 2018, using Tokendata and ICO Stats, news.Bitcoin.com can confirm this to be a reasonable estimate. In fact, 76% of 74 ICOs completed this year are in the red, posting an average dollar return of 0.9x. The 56 exchange listed ICOs that are trading at a loss have an average USD return of 0.45x. (ICO Stats calculates its ROI based on the token’s pre-sale price, rather than the public sale, so the average return for all 76 ICOs is in fact slightly lower than stated.)
Ethereum has dropped in value since the start of the year, reducing the average dollar return on every ICO to have launched on its network. Even if 2018’s losing ICOs are calculated in ETH terms, however, they are still trading at an average return of 0.9x. Whatever way the numbers are crunched, investing in ICOs is now an extremely risky business that’s statistically unlikely to produce a short-term profit. These projects may go on to produce a healthy profit once their infrastructure develops and the markets pick up. But if investors can purchase the tokens on exchanges for cheap in the interim, it defeats the whole point of signing up for a crowdsale.
The Halcyon Days of 2017 Are Long Gone
In 2017, ICOs produced an average ROI of 573% according to Coinist.io. This year, just one ICO – Zilliqa – has surpassed that figure, delivering 12x. Last year’s big hitters, by way of comparison, were Spectrecoin (46,000%), Storj (7,600%), Populous (5,400%) and Qtum (4,500%). There’s still plenty of time for 2018’s ICOs to come good, though right now investors would simply be happy to see their tokens turn green. It’s been evident for some time that pre-sales are the only realistic route into an ICO. Deep discounting at this stage means there’s typically few tokens left by the time of the public sale, and the valuation of these, coupled with market conditions, makes profiting all but impossible.
Of the 22 ICOs that are in the green this year, just two (9%) are for app tokens. Every other project is for blockchain infrastructure development of some sort, be it dApp directories, DEXes, new chains, or scaling solutions. If you’re going to invest in an ICO, then, the message is clear: be selective, choose blockchain projects over ‘X on the blockchain’ platforms, and make sure you get into the pre-sale. Otherwise, you’ll be wasting your time and your ethereum.
Do you think ICOs are now too risky to invest in? Let us know in the comments section below.
Why not keep track of the price with one of Bitcoin.com’s widget services.

After Niagara suicide attempts, questions about how and why
After two people tried to commit suicide by going over Niagara Falls in two days, local media were asking questions about the falls, including:
What could enable a person to survive a plunge?
Are suicide attempts from the falls on the rise?
Is a coming high-wire stunt walk over the falls encouraging the suicide attempts?
On Monday, a man plunged 180 feet over the Horseshoe Falls on the Canadian side of the Niagara River. He's now in a Hamilton, Ontario, hospital recovering from injuries that include several broken ribs, a collapsed lung and gashes to his head and shoulders, according to a report in the Buffalo News.
He was pulled to safety by emergency crews after collapsing in waist-deep water, according to a report from CNN affiliate WGRZ in Buffalo.
He is only the fourth person to survive a plunge over the Horseshoe Falls, historian Paul Gromosiak told the News.
The others include a 30-year-old Canadian man in 2009, a Michigan man in 2003 and a 7-year-old boy in 1960, according to the news reports.
The Toronto Star reports that thousands of people have gone over the falls, especially in the 19th and 20th centuries, and asks why the known survivor cases are predominantly recent.
The paper points out that the three most recent survivors went over the railing on the Canadian side near the Table Rock House tourist building. From there, the Niagara River's 25 mph current pushed them over the falls.
Some have speculated that the men could have been pushed away from rocks at the base of the falls by a cushion of water, or that winds whipped up the crashing water, according to the Star.
The late Wesley Hill, a Niagara Falls expert, said in 2006 that the dynamics of the falls change based on the amount of water hydro companies take from the upper Niagara River, the Star reported.
But a man who has investigated the three most recent falls survivor cases isn't certain of any constant among them.
"The Niagara River is completely unpredictable," Niagara Parks Police Sgt. Chris Gallagher told the Star.
What is predictable is that the falls will attract people attempting suicide.
While the man in Monday's plunge survived, another person who went over the American portion of Niagara Falls on Tuesday apparently did not. A body has not been recovered, according to local media reports.
New York State Parks Police said Tuesday's suicide on the American Falls was the fourth this year, slightly ahead of a pace that usually sees nine suicides a year from the American side, according to the Buffalo News.
"We're running a little high," Lt. Patrick B. Moriarty of the State Parks Police told the News.
About 20 to 30 people commit suicide from both sides of the Niagara a year, according to the report.
Police usually don't publicize the suicides, Inspector Paul Forcier of the Niagara Parks Police on the Canadian side told the St. Catherine's Standard.
But a planned June stunt is bringing fresh publicity to Niagara Falls this year and has some questioning whether it is giving impetus to suicide attempts.
Renowned high-wire walker Nik Wallenda has announced he will attempt to walk a tightrope over Niagara Falls on June 15.
Wallenda told the News that the stunt should be encouraging anything but suicide.
"I'm doing the impossible, which is what a lot of people feel they can't do because they're depressed. Me making it across the wire and living shows people that they can achieve anything," the News quotes Wallenda as saying.
Wallenda will walk a 2-inch cable attached to massive cranes on each side of the falls, about 1,800 feet across, and 200 feet up from the bottom of the gorge. The crossing should take about 30 to 40 minutes and is planned to take place in early evening.
The last person to cross the gorge on a wire was James Hardy in 1896, but Wallenda said he will be the first to cross directly over the waterfall.
Psychologists disagree over whether the Wallenda stunt has any connection to suicides, according to the Buffalo News report.
"It's something else that kind of gets the falls out there, kind of plants a seed in people's minds," Timothy M. Osberg, a clinical psychologist and professor of psychology at Niagara University, told the News.
Steven L. Dubovsky, chairman of the department of psychiatry at the University at Buffalo, doesn't see any connection.
"It might have just reminded people that the falls are there. I doubt it would make people want to jump into the falls," the News quoted Dubovsky as saying.
Visitors to the falls on Tuesday told the Standard they didn't think anything could be done to make the tourist attraction safer.
"There are already signs posted telling people not to climb over the railings. Having more police or higher railings would just spoil it for everyone else. People will still climb over. People always do silly things,” the Standard quotes Stephen Moore, a British tourist, as saying.
“You can patrol these areas and try to make them safer, but at the end of the day, things happen. One way or another, they do,” Rich Inge, a tourist from Scotland, told the Standard.
Park police on both sides of the river are a bit more upbeat. They tell CNN affiliate WVIB that they've talked more people out of suicide at the falls than those who have actually gone through with it.
Suicide emergency phones on both sides of the river have made a difference, according to the report.
And anyone who suspects that someone they know is considering suicide of any kind should try to get them to talk, Mary McConnell of Jewish Family Service told WVIB.

There must be a connection between motive and method. Seems like jumping over the Falls or off a building, shooting yourself or something else violent and painful indicates anger or self loathing. If you're depressed, the booze and pills route makes more sense. Has to be a reason why people would opt for pain.

Free health in Canada is not free. Someone pays for the "free care". They're called taxpayers so that freeloaders can get "free care".
Hey, if you're going to go out, go out with a great view.

Oh, please. People are going to commit suicide at the Falls regardless of whether people perform stunts there. Just like they throw themselves off cliffs, bridges, ingest overdoses, or inhale CO from cars and charcoal grilles.
Here's a thought ... try establishing a causal relationship between ads for charcoal grilles and elevated levels of suicides. I'm sure you can find it ... after all, rational thought isn't your strong suit. You could just pull that connection out of your butt as you did this one.
Deepdiver
These are arguments are ridculous. Nothing will get coverage anymore or be shown in tv or movies for fear someone could take it the wrong way and use it as inspiration for murder or suicide. I guess we can't show or even talk about bridges or buildings in any way, because people might get the wrong idea. I guess that means we can't show cars or alcohol, because people might get the wrong idea and use those too.
Brad Lendon forgot about the boy in 1980 that was saved by Superman.
I really think they should turn off the falls so people won't die going over them. Then, to prevent people from killing themselves by jumping, we could create the world's largest place to dump old pillows. Then we would all be safe.
sctaraf
Suicides are on the rise in Canada, and here is why: The unemployment rate is high, higher than the Government says because the Government only counts those collecting Unemployment Insurance as those being unemployed. So if you can't receive insurance because you don't have enough hours, work certain jobs or use your insurance up previously, you're screwed. We are currently under control of an illegitimate Government that is only in power due to massive election fraud that crossed the country. Canadians feel major despair, especially while our illegitimate Prime Minister touts to the worls how amazing and how awesome things are in Canada. Don't buy the BS.

How Americans can help stop fake news
Worried about democracy? Concerned about inaccuracies regarding COVID-19? USC researchers share how all of us could assist in limiting the spread of misinformation.
BY Emily Gersema
Fake news and misinterpreted information is most likely spread by people, not bots or trolls, says USC expert Emilio Ferrara. (Illustration/iStock)
Claims of election fraud have been debunked but repeated. Myths about COVID-19 precautions like masks and social distancing persist, even as a third wave of infections rolls through the country. Research has shown that fake news is bad for democracy — and in a pandemic, it may be a matter of life or death.
About 1 in 5 Americans get their news from social media, according to the Pew Research Center. While a recent Science Advances study stated that not even a tenth of 1% of the content people see is fake news, scientists note that many misunderstand what they are reading or watching, even from legitimate sources. They all agree the spread of fake news and misinformation — including misunderstanding real news — across social media communities is a worsening problem.
Ideas for stopping fake news have run the gamut. Some of them, such as censorship of social media posts, run counter to American ideals and — in some instances — free speech. USC scientists are recommending other moves to curtail the rise of misinformation, including new ideas for social platforms to avoid issues with censorship.
Through quality control, media companies can help stop fake news
Longtime journalist and adjunct professor Marc Ambinder believes that all media companies — not just the social platforms — could implement better quality control for the content that ends up shared among users.
“All platforms need to set up viral ‘circuit breakers’ so they can immediately assess whether rapidly shared material is harmful to election integrity or public health,” recommended Ambinder, a senior fellow at the Center on Communication Leadership and Policy at the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism.
“That should be the threshold for action, because anything more than that risks generating the attention-grabbing meta-debate about censorship and expression and anything less could be damaging to democratic institutions.”
A simple tip to combat misinformation is for platforms to … control the amount of information that a user is exposed to at a time.
Kimon Drakopoulos
The problem isn’t just that people are seeking and sharing fake news stories that play to their biases. They are misunderstanding real content that they see on TV, read on traditional news sites or spot friends sharing when they are skimming social platforms, scientists say.
“Surprisingly, in a recent paper, we show that even if the information was of good quality and unbiased, [political] polarization naturally arises due to ‘information inundation,’ where users have access to a vast amount of information,” said Kimon Drakopoulos, assistant professor at the USC Marshall School of Business with expertise in data science and social network systems.
“Therefore, a simple tip to combat misinformation is for platforms to not censor content — which can have very adverse effects — and just control the amount of information that a user is exposed to at a time,” he added. “This can be a limit in the size of the news feed or a random sampling of only a few articles per topic that are presented to users.”
That’s right: Drakopoulos believes social media users need to be put on an information diet.
To limit the spread of misinformation, reread and research
Consumers also could be more selective, said Kristina Lerman, research project leader at the USC Information Sciences Institute and a research associate professor at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. “Follow a diverse set of accounts for a varied information diet,” she advised.
Ultimately, people are the superspreaders of fake news and misinterpreted information. USC scientists urge individuals to consider steps that they can take, even just to check themselves.
“Most misinformation is spread by people — not by bots, foreign actors or troll accounts,” said Emilio Ferrara, a research team leader at USC Information Sciences Institute and an associate professor at the USC Viterbi and USC Annenberg.
Most misinformation is spread by people — not by bots, foreign actors or troll accounts.

“Before sharing something on Twitter or Facebook, it’s crucial to assess the provenance, credibility and authority of the source of that news or information,” he said. “Who published it? A well-established and credible person, or a shady account that maybe appears to post a lot of sensationalistic or divisive content? If there is a link in the post, where does the link point to? Is it a well-known news outlet or a maybe suspicious website?
“Also, who else is talking about this news? Have you seen a diverse set of individuals and organizations discussing this issue or does it appear to be from a niche group with unusual or divisive positions?”
Good Samaritans on the internet may want to help stop fake news by pointing it out to friends, family or other contacts, but they should be careful how they go about it. They may inadvertently do more harm. Research by Provost Professor of Psychology Norbert Schwarz has shown that the lie tends to stick with people.
“Never repeat false information,” said Schwarz, a co-director of the Mind and Society Center at USC Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences. “Once people hear it, it is difficult to correct.”
“If you, as a journalist, have to report on it, make the story about the lie itself,” suggested Schwarz, who also is a consumer psychology expert at USC Marshall and recently co-edited the book, The Psychology of Fake News. “Start with the truth. Explain that Person X spread false information and say why they may have done so if you can. Present the false information only after that, and not in vivid detail. Repeat why it is false.”

In and out of class, USC Price alumni strive for equity in education
Three Trojans unite for a leadership program after never having met as grad students at USC
BY Matthew Kredell
For a dozen years, Lauren Chianese MPP ’10, David Feinberg MPL ’09 and Priti Johari MPP ’06 traveled remarkably similar courses from different parts of the country. From their varied experiences, they drew identical conclusions about educational equity — a measure of fairness, achievement and opportunity.
Last year, their paths finally crossed when the three were brought together as participants in the Leadership for Educational Equity (LEE) Public Leadership Fellows program.
Each graduated from their respective undergraduate program in 2002 and decided to join Teach for America to dedicate two years teaching in high-poverty school districts. Each came away from the experience realizing that they desired to make an even broader impact beyond their individual classrooms — sparking them to attend graduate school at the USC Price School of Public Policy.
Fortified with an understanding of how to analyze and implement challenging policy and planning issues, they established themselves in diverse careers with the same ambition of improving educational opportunities for children. Then they took the next step by joining LEE, finding each other as three USC Price alumni in a small 25-person cohort.
LEE is an organization that works with former Teach for America participants to further their impact through policy, advocacy, elected office and nonprofit leadership.
Founded in 2007, LEE provides resources, training and networking for Teach for America alumni who are interested in elected office or other extracurricular leadership positions. Essentially, the goal is to have former teachers who grasp the equity challenge be the ones making and implementing educational policy across the country.
As part of the LEE program, the alums took part in three weekend workshops in Oakland, Philadelphia and Nashville. Each location provided the opportunity to examine education-related policies specific to that area and hear from a panel of local leaders.
The fellowship is really about understanding.
David Feinberg
“The fellowship is really about understanding, whatever your situation, to think about different avenues through which you can maximize your impact on educational equity,” Feinberg said. “Since the fellowship, I ran for hyperlocal elected office and won. You recognize that there’s an impact to be made at all levels.”
Feinberg, 36, sits as a community representative on the school council for Pulaski International School of Chicago, where his two children likely will attend in a few years. It was at USC Price, where he took a leadership position as president of the Associated Students of Planning and Development, that Feinberg found a summer job in the field of charter school development through the school’s job/internship database.
He has worked in the field ever since, currently as regional director for the Greater Chicago Area at Turner Impact Capital, a social-impact fund that finances and manages real-estate development for high-quality charter schools.
From east to west
Although they each completed undergraduate school in 2002, Johari, Feinberg and Chianese never did cross paths at USC.
Chianese, 34, came to Los Angeles on her Teach for America assignment after growing up in Orlando and attending the University of Florida. She taught a year each at Los Angeles Middle School and Hollenbeck Middle School before staying in Los Angeles as a regional trainer.
After graduating from USC Price, she spent two years as a senior policy analyst of education for the Office of Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa before returning to Orlando, where she is director of external affairs for the Foundation for Florida’s Future.

After leaving USC Price, Johari, 34, worked as a policy analyst for Green Dot Public Schools and then eventually returned to teaching and completed a master of school leadership degree from the Harvard Graduate School of Education. From there, she joined Chelsea High School in Massachusetts, where in the past year she was promoted to principal.
“I chose a public policy program as opposed to educational policy because I wanted to understand areas such as health policy, community organizing, social/emotional health and neighborhood safety that also impact a child’s ability to learn,” Johari said. “USC is so strongly rooted in community and involved with city politics, county politics, and thinking about how neighborhoods and communities should work together. I felt like I left a much more well-rounded person.”
As Teach for America instructors — Feinberg was assigned to an elementary school in Phoenix while Johari was placed at the very high school she attended in San Jose — the three of them recognized, through their efforts to set at-risk children on the right path, that there are so many factors outside of their influence.
Feinberg chose to study urban planning after having to take to the streets after school on multiple occasions to make sure his students could get home safely amid talk that gang violence might break out.
As a teacher, I felt there were lots of things happening to me and my students that were out of my control.
Lauren Chianese
“As a teacher, I felt there were lots of things happening to me and my students that were out of my control,” Chianese explained. “There were a lot of policies affecting us that I wanted to understand better. I also felt strongly that there should be more educators or people who had classroom experience going into policy, and that inspired me to apply to and attend USC Price.”
In support of the system
USC Price offers a $10,000 scholarship to master’s students who are Teach for America alumni, in recognition of their work to support the educational system.
Combining her strong background in humanities with the quantitative reasoning skills she learned at USC Price, Johari finds her job as principal the perfect combination of policy and practice.
“So much that makes a policy successful or not depends on how people decide to implement it,” Johari said. “Having a policy background made me better understand that landscape and what it takes to have policy successfully implemented at the school level.”
Chianese, Feinberg and Johari are currently working with other LEE alumni to plan a reunion for Public Leadership Fellows in Hawaii this spring. Their goal is to bring LEE fellows together to strategize about how to build a broader, more concerted movement toward educational equity through their individual work.

New York Yankees information: Is the Bombers’ window closing?
NJ Advance Media | Bob Klapisch: After wanting loaded with younger stars in the summertime of 2017, the Yankees are nonetheless empty-handed three years later. Klapisch wonders if the Bombers’ aggressive window could also be closing, particularly with a lot uncertainty in regards to the future (there may very well be a strike after the 2021 season) and with the Tampa Bay Rays peaking.
New York Post | Dan Martin: The Yankees may have one other ace to pair with Gerrit Cole, particularly for these postseason matchups through which star-caliber pitching makes the distinction. Nevertheless, Martin says that if the Bombers restrict their payroll subsequent season to remain below the posh tax threshold of $210 million, they absolutely received’t pursue high-priced free brokers and commerce targets. The workforce could also be planning to depend on a number of homegrown arms, equivalent to Deivi García, Jordan Montgomery, Clarke Schmidt, Domingo Germán, Mike King, Miguel Yajure and others.
NJ Advance Media | Brendan Kuty: With a 1.89 ERA and plenty of high-leverage innings within the postseason, Zack Britton was maybe the Yankees’ most dependable reliever in 2020. He may enter the free agent market if the Bombers don’t ‘choose in’ the subsequent two years of his deal, at a complete of $27 million. Nevertheless, Kuty believes that New York is a digital lock to safe his providers and received’t let him take a look at the market.

San Francisco-native Henry Dehlinger, a prodigiously talented pianist and singer, turned his hand to full-time composition in 2015. The skill and splendour of his music belies the relatively brief number of years he has committed pen to paper to create a considerable oeuvre of orchestral, chamber and choral music. His natural affinity for vocal music has also led to a number of works for solo voice. At That Hour is a superlative showcase for Henry's craftmanship as well as his close collaborators, husband-and-wife team soprano Danielle Talamantes and bass-baritone Kerry Wilkerson. All of the songs on this original album of Henry's art songs were written expressly for Danielle's and Kerry's impassioned voices. The title track opens Henry's 10-part song cycle set to texts by James Joyce. Inspiration for other songs comes from poetry by T. S. Eliot, Dante, Edgar Allen Poe, Oscar Wilde, and Hebrew writings. Throughout, Henry's modern yet tonal compositional voice shines through as he renders a diverse palette of musical styles to amplify the words he sets to music.

Lumbar peritoneal shunt p. 179
Yad R Yadav, Vijay Parihar, Mallika Sinha
A lumbar peritoneal (LP) shunt is a technique of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) diversion from the lumbar thecal sac to the peritoneal cavity. It is indicated under a large number of conditions such as communicating hydrocephalus, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, normal pressure hydrocephalus, spinal and cranial CSF leaks, pseudomeningoceles, slit ventricle syndrome, growing skull fractures which are difficult to treat by conventional methods (when dural defect extends deep in the cranial base or across venous sinuses and in recurrent cases after conventional surgery), raised intracranial pressure following chronic meningitis, persistent bulging of craniotomy site after operations for intracranial tumors or head trauma, syringomyelia and failed endoscopic third ventriculostomy with a patent stoma. In spite of the large number of indications of this shunt and being reasonably good, safe, and effective, very few reports about the LP shunt exist in the literature. This procedure did not get its due importance due to some initial negative reports. This review article is based on search on Google and PubMed. This article is aimed to review indications, complications, results, and comparison of the LP shunt with the commonly practiced ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt. Shunt blocks, infections, CSF leaks, overdrainage and acquired Chiari malformation (ACM) are some of the complications of the LP shunt. Early diagnosis of overdrainage complications and ACM as well as timely appropriate treatment especially by programmable shunts could decrease morbidity. Majority of recent reports suggest that a LP shunt is a better alternative to the VP shunt in communicating hydrocephalus. It has an advantage over the VP shunt of being completely extracranial and can be used under conditions other than hydrocephalus when the ventricles are normal sized or chinked. More publications are required to establish its usefulness in the treatment of wide variety of indications.

Genetic basis of stroke: An overview p. 185
Anjana Munshi, Subhash Kaul
Stroke or "brain attack" is a complex disease caused by a combination of multiple risk factors. It has major social and economic consequences. Various epidemiological studies in families and twins have revealed that there is a genetic component to stroke risk. Stroke may be the outcome of single gene disorders or more commonly, a polygenic multifactorial disease. Mutations in several candidate genes have been found to be associated with stroke. However, association studies in population-based samples have failed to identify reliable disease markers. The publication of the "Human Genome Project" has indeed improved our knowledge about the potential role of genetics in complex disorders including stroke. Rapidly expanding field of genetics is in a state of transforming medicine into a new kind in future, the individualized medicine, using tailor made drugs according to the genetic makeup of the individuals. However, this involves integrating genome wide genetic information with medical information. The first genome wide association study on ischemic stroke has been published recently. Further studies will hopefully tell us how far the genetic information will assist us to tailor clinical and therapeutic decisions to an individual's genotype.

Establishment of a novel hemodynamic cerebral ischemia model of atherosclerotic rabbit p. 191
Gui-yun Zhang, Zuo-quan Chen, Feng Ling, Yu-jian Li, Yan Wang, Bin-xian Gu
Background: Atherosclerosis is the most common cause of ischemic stroke. Until now, there has been no ideal animal model for studying the hemodynamic ischemia caused by atherosclerosis in posterior circulation. Objective: This study was conducted to establish a cerebral ischemic model in an atherosclerotic rabbit by subclavian artery (SA) ligation or embolization, emphasizing the role of hemodynamics. Materials and Methods: Thirty-two male New Zealand rabbits (weight, 3.5 to 4.0 kg; provided by Animal Laboratory of Tongji Hospital of Tongji University) were randomly divided into four groups. All the groups, except the controlled group, were fed with high lipid diet for three months and two of the groups were submitted for right SA ligation or left SA embolization and the remaining one group to non-operated group. Results: A SA steal syndrome was established successfully with delayed visualization and prolonged circulation time in the posterior circulation. The circulation time was different when SA was ligated or embolized (P < 0.001), and also there was statistically significant difference between controlled and non-operated groups when angiography of either, left and right, VA was performed (P = 0.009, P = 0.003, respectively). However, there was no statistical significant difference between the ligation and embolization group either before or after the procedure (ligation or embolization) (P = 0.402, P = 0.068, respectively). In the control and non-operated group, angiography of either left or right VA showed no statistically significant difference (P = 0.285, P = 0.197, respectively). In the groups fed with high lipid diet for three months, atherosclerotic plaques were found in the common carotid arteries (CCAs), aortic arch (AAs) and variably in the internal carotid arteries (ICAs). Conclusions: This model could, to some extent, simulate the clinical hemodynamic state of atherosclerotic stroke. and it is an ideal model for studying the hemodynamic cerebral ischemia in posterior circulation.
db-Cyclic adenosine monophosphate promotes axon regeneration and motor function recovery in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats p. 195
Lingchuan Niu, Jia Zhou, Ying Huang, Yan Chen, Changqing Li
Background: There is no effective axon regeneration in adult mammalians. Objective: To investigate the effects of dual-acid cyclic adenosine monophosphate (db-cAMP) on the axon regeneration, motor function recovery and RhoA signal pathway in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats, and to explore the possible clinical application and mechanism. Materials and Methods: Middle cerebral artery ischemia-reperfusion model was established by nylon monofilament occlusion method in 105 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. Semi-quantitative Western blot analysis was used to assess protein expression level of growth-associated protein-43 (GAP-43) and RhoA. Montoya staircase test score was used to test the motor function of affected forelimb. Results: Compared to the ischemia group, the staircase test score in the db-cAMP group was increased significantly at 30-day (P < 0.05), and GAP-43 protein expression in the db-cAMP group was enhanced significantly at 7-day and 14-day (P < 0.05), and RhoA protein expression in the db-cAMP group was decreased significantly between 24 h to 14-day (P < 0.01). Conclusion: These results show that db-cAMP can promote axon regeneration and the recovery of motor function by inhibiting RhoA signal pathway.
Isolation, characterization and differentiation potential of rat bone marrow stromal cells p. 201
Naresh Polisetti, VG Chaitanya, Phanithi Prakash Babu, Geeta K Vemuganti
Background: Bone marrow mesenchymal cells have been identified as a source of pluripotent stem cells with varying degrees of plasticity in humans. However, there are a few reports on rat-derived cells, which could be good models for the research purpose. We describe here a simple method of establishing the rat bone marrow stromal cells by the principle of adhesion and document their phenotype along with their differentiation potential to other lineages. Materials and Methods: Rat bone marrow stromal cells were isolated by three methods: direct plastic adherence, ficoll hypaque separation and a combination of both. The stromal cells obtained by these methods were characterized by fluorescent activating cell sorting (FACS) for established hematopoietic and non-hematopoietic markers. The cells obtained by combination method (combination of ficoll density gradient centrifugation and plastic adherence) were cultured and serially passaged. Transcriptional confirmation was done by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) for vimentin and collagen type 1 alpha 1. Attempts were made to differentiate the marrow stromal cells into adipocytes, osteocytes and neuronal like cells. Results: Bone marrow samples from 10 rats yielded 4-5 million bone marrow mononuclear cells /ml per femur. Of the three methods tested, a combination method yielded good growth of spindle cells. The cells obtained by combined method showed high percentage of positivity for vimentin, fibronectin and CD90 and negative for hematopoietic markers. Further, RT-PCR confirmed vimentin and collagen type - 1 alpha 1 expression. Oil red O staining and Alizarin red staining confirmed adipocytic and osteogenic differentiation. On immunocytochemical analysis, the cells expressed nestin, β-tubulin III, neurofilament and synaptophysin. Conclusion: Adequate quantities of rat marrow stromal cell cultures can be established by a simple method based on adhesion properties. Their phenotypic characteristics and plasticity support the evidence that they are mesenchymal stem cells with a distinct tendency for neural lineage.
Prevalence of low dietary calcium intake in patients with epilepsy: A study from South India p. 209
Bindu Menon, Chittari Venkata Harinarayan, Marella Neelima Raj, Swapna Vemuri, G Himabindu, TK Afsana
Background: The effects of antiepileptic drugs (AED) on bone health are well documented. Inadequate dietary intake of calcium and vitamin D plays a vital role and further compromises the bone health. Objective: To assess the dietary pattern with special reference to calcium and related minerals in people with epilepsy (PWE) on AED. Materials and Methods: The dietary assessment in PWE was documented by dietary recall method. Patients were categorized according to age: group I: <14 years; group II: between 15-20 years; group III: between 21-45 years; group IV: >46 years. From the raw weights, total energy, dietary calcium, dietary phosphorous intake and phytate calcium ratio was calculated using a food composition table by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) and analyzed statistically. Results: A total of 362 patients with mean age of 29 + 15 years were studied. There were 190 women. The mean duration of AED treatment was 4 + 3 yrs, 64% on monotherapy 64% and 36% on polytherapy. The mean dietary intake of the total chohort was 2,007 + 211 Kcal/day, carbohydrate 335 + 33 gm/day; protein 31 + 7 gm/day; fat 18+2 gm/day; calcium 294 + 40 mg/day; phosphorus 557 + 102; phytates 179 + 30 mg/day; and phytate/calcium ratio 0.56+0.2. Milk and milk products were consumed by 42% of the total cohort. The daily dietary calcium (301 + 40 mg/day) intake of men was significantly higher than women (287 + 39 mg/day) (P < 0.001). This was more evident in group II (P < 0.01) and group III (P < 0.03). There was a positive correlation between dietary calcium and dietary phytates (P < 0.001), dietary proteins (P < 0.001), dietary fat (P < 0.001), and total energy (P < 0.001). Conclusions: The dietary consumption of calcium of all the patients was far below the recommended daily dietary allowance (RDA) by Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR). Low dietary calcium could have a confounding effect on PWE on AED in all age groups. There is a need to formulate consensus guidelines to supplement dietary calcium to PWE.
Early predisposition to osteomalacia in Indian adults on phenytoin or valproate monotherapy and effective prophylaxis by simultaneous supplementation with calcium and 25-hydroxy vitamin D at recommended daily allowance dosage: A prospective study p. 213
Geetha Krishnamoorthy, Rahul Nair, Uma Sundar, Prayag Kini, Makardhwaj Shrivastava
Background: Long-term therapy with antiepileptic drugs (AED) may be associated with increased total serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels and reduced serum calcium, inorganic phosphorous, and vitamin D levels. These adverse biochemical alterations have an adverse effect on bone health Objective: To determine (a) onset of derangements in serum total ALP and its isoenzymes (liver, bone), calcium and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25-OHD) concentrations after initiation of treatment with phenytoin or valproic acid monotherapy and (b) the effect of simultaneous supplementation with calcium and 25-OHD at recommended daily allowance (RDA) dosage, on these biochemical parameters. Materials and Methods: Study was a prospective, case-controlled study in adults. Serum biochemical parameters were estimated at baseline, 30, 60, and 90 days of starting AED treatment in the study subjects: Groups--A (only calcium supplementation) and Group B (both calcium and 25-OHD supplementation). Statistical Analysis: Mean±SD, and students' paired t test (between groups A and B) unpaired students' t test (drug-wise). Results: At 60 days of AED therapy Group A showed a significant increase in serum total ALP (78.83±11.04 to101.75 ± 9.56 IU/l) (P < 0.001), ALP-liver isoenzyme, (41.97± 10.81 to 68.83 ±7.81 IU/L) (P < 0.001), significant decrease in calcium (9.30 ± 0.36 to 8.80 ± 0.38 mg%) (P < 0.001), ALP-bone isoenyzme (36.84 ± 5.01 to 32.92 ± 6.46 IU/L) (P < 0.001), and a significant decrease in 25-OHD (25.19 ± 5.98 to 19.76 ± 5.35 ng/ml) (P < 0.001) at 90 days. In contrast Group B, at 60 days, showed a significant decrease in serum total ALP (81.92 ± 19.63 to 54.77. ± 11.53 IU/L) (P < 0.0001), ALP-liver isoenzyme (48.01. ± 13.53 to 28.12. ± 5.88 IU/L) (P < 0.0001), significant increase in calcium ((9.24 ± 0.31 to 9.93 ± 0.26 mg%) (P < 0.001) and ALP-bone isoenzyme levels (33.93 ± 12.2 to 26.25 ± 8.23 IU/L). In Group B, 25-OHD levels showed a significant increase at 90 days (24.36 ± 3.42 to 31.53 ± 327 ng/ml) (P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Biochemical derangements in calcium metabolism involving the bone are seen by 60 days after starting AED monotherapy, indicating predisposition to development of osteomalacia in these patients. This is preventable by simultaneous oral supplementation with calcium and 25-OHD.
Prevalence of abnormal psychometric tests and critical flicker frequency after clinical recovery of overt hepatic encephalopathy p. 220
Praveen Sharma, Barjesh Chander Sharma, Shiv Kumar Sarin
Background: Abnormal psychometric tests are common in cirrhotic patients without overt encephalopathy. It may seriously impair the patient's daily functioning and quality of life. Prevalence of abnormal psychometric tests after the clinical recovery of overt encephalopathy has not been studied. Materials and Methods: Consecutive 80 patients (age, 44.5±9.8yr; M: F 66:14) with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) who recovered and met inclusion criteria were evaluated for abnormal psychometric tests ( > 2 SD) and critical flicker frequency (CFF < 38Hz). All patients underwent number connection tests-A and B, figure connection tests -A and B (if illiterate), digit symbol test, object assembly test, CFF and arterial ammonia after one month of clinical recovery of HE. Results: Prevalence of abnormal psychometric tests (> 2SD) was seen in 58 (72.5%) patients. [33 (66%) of 50 patients on lactulose and 25 (83%) of 30 patients not on lactulose, P = 0.12]. Arterial ammonia was significantly higher in patients with abnormal psychometric tests compared to patients without it (86.3±22.2 vs 50.4±11.5 mmol/l, P = 0.01). CFF was < 38Hz in 50 patients (62.5%). Patients with ≥2 abnormal psychometric tests had CFF significantly lower than with normal psychometric tests (35.6±2.3 vs 40.7±2.4 Hz, P = 0.001). CFF sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing ≥2 abnormal psychometric tests was 82 and 83% respectively. CFF was significantly correlated with psychometric tests [NCT-A (-0.672, P = 0.001) and B (-0.743, P = 0.001), digit symbol test (-0.533, P = 0.001), object assembly test (-0.659, P =0.001) and arterial ammonia level (-0.385, P = 0.02)]. Conclusion: About 73% of patients who recovered from HE had abnormal psychometric tests ( > 2SD). CFF is a simple reliable tool to find out the presence of abnormal tests.
Intrasinus thrombolysis in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: Single-center experience in 19 patients p. 225
Sudhir Kumar, Garikapati Rajshekher, Chenna Rajesh Reddy, J Venkateswarlu, Subhashini Prabhakar
Background: Evidence from small case series suggests that the intrasinus thrombolysis (IST) is relatively safe and effective in rapid recanalization of thrombosed sinuses and reversal of neurological deficits in patients with cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) However, in the absence of randomized controlled trials, the exact role of IST in the management of CVST is unclear, Aim: To study the safety and efficacy of IST in patients with CVST. Materials and Methods: Adult patients with CVST who received IST during a two-year period (January 2003-December 2004) were included. Data regarding demographic, clinical and radiological features were collected. Follow-up data were obtained at 3-6 months. Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) was repeated to assess the recanalisation of venous sinuses. Results: Nineteen patients (11 women) with a mean age of 32 years (range 17-46 years) received IST during the study period. Common clinical features at presentation included headache, altered consciousness and seizures. Indications for thrombolysis included clinical deterioration despite adequate anticoagulation and rapid worsening of consciousness or neurological deficits. Thirteen patients (68%) had dural sinus thrombosis alone and six others had coexisting deep venous system involvement. Venous infarcts were present in 13 patients. At discharge, 15 patients (79%) had good outcome and were either asymptomatic or had only mild deficits and were independent for activities of daily living. Three patients died and one survived with severe neurological deficits. Angiographic improvement (as per digital subtraction angiography) was noted in 12 patients (complete in five and partial in seven) and seven patients had poor or no recanalization of the involved venous sinuses. At a median follow-up of 6.3 months, 14 (74%) patients had no or mild neurological deficits. Conclusion: IST is safe and effective in patients with CVST who fail to respond to conventional medical treatment. However, the subgroup of patients who are likely to benefit the most from this procedure is not clear from our data. Large randomized controlled trials are required to further clarify this issue.

Bulent Duz, Ilker Solmaz, Erdinc Civelek, M Bulent Onal, Serhat Pusat, Mehmet Daneyemez
Background: Radial nerve is the most frequently injured major nerve in the upper extremity. Proximal part of the radial nerve involvement can result from a humerus fracture, direct nerve trauma, compression and rarely from tumors. Objectives: The aim of the study is to determine the clinical characteristics and electrodiagnostic findings in patients with proximal radial nerve injuries, and also the outcome of surgical treatment. Materials and Methods: The study subjects included 46 patients with radial nerve injuries seen between June 2000 and June 2008 at our hospital. The analysis included demographics, clinical features, etiology, pre-and postoperative EMNG (Electromyoneurography) findings. Results: Surgical decompression resulted in neurological improvement in patients with radial entrapment neuropathies. Good neurological recovery was observed from decompression of callus of old humeral fracture. The worst results were observed in the direct missile injuries of the radial nerve. Conclusions: A detailed clinical and electrodiagnostic evaluation is of importance in patients with radial nerve injury to ensure an appropriate treatment. The choice of treatment, conservative or surgical, depends on the clinical presentation and the type of injury.
Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles: Report on clinical characteristics in 23 cases p. 235
A Nalini, N Gayathri, Rose Dawn
Background: Distal myopathy with rimmed vacuoles (DMRV) is an autosomal recessive (AR) myopathy characterized clinically by the preferential involvement of the tibialis anterior and has been reported predominantly in the Japanese population. Materials and Methods: A case series of DMRV patients seen over a period of 3 years at a tertiary national referral center for neurological disorders in south India. Results: We describe the clinical characteristics, muscle magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and classical histopathological feature in 23 patients. There were 12 men and 11 women. Mean age of onset was 27.04 ± 6.35 years (10-39 years). Onset was in the second or third decade in a majority. Mean age at presentation was 33.95 ± 6.35 years (25-48 years). Mean duration of illness was 6.74 ± 4.8 years (1-18 years). Consanguinity was reported in eight (34.8%) patients. The predominant and initial manifestation was bilateral foot drop in all patients. Muscle MRI demonstrated classical involvement of the anterior compartment muscles of the lower legs and the posterior compartment muscles of the thighs and the quadriceps was normal in all. Muscle histopathology showed numerous fibers containing rimmed vacuoles. Necrotic fibers or phagocytosis or regenerating fibers were rarely noted or were absent. Conclusions: DMRV is a rare AR myopathy. The disorder presents as progressive foot drop and hence has many differential diagnoses. It is easily mistaken as neuropathy of hereditary nature and hence it is extremely important to recognize the preferential muscle involvement and characterize the phenotype. This is the first report from India with patients having characteristic phenotype of Nonaka's/AR hereditary inclusion body myopathy with quadriceps sparing, and all were confirmed by histopathology.
Microsurgical subtemporal approach to aneurysms on the P 2 segment of the posterior cerebral artery p. 242
Jing Zhitao, Wang Yibao, Wu Anhua, Ou Shaowu, Ban Yunchao, Zhou Renyi, Wang Yunjie
Background: Aneurysms arising from the P 2 segment of the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) are rare, accounting for less than 1% of all intracranial aneurysms. To date, few studies concerning the management of P 2 segment aneurysms have been reported. Objective: To review the microsurgical techniques and clinical outcomes of microsurgical treatment by different approaches in patients with aneurysms on the P 2 segment of the PCA. Materials and Methods: Forty-two patients with P2 segment aneurysms had microsurgical treatment by subtemporal approach. All the patients had drainage of cerebrospinal fluid for decompression, and indocyanine green (ICG) angiography was used in 20 patients to assess the effect of clipping. Results: Of the 42 patients, 16 were operated by combined pterional-subtemporal approach. In 40 patients aneurysms were successfully treated by clipping the P 2 aneurysmal neck while preserving the parent artery. Two patients with giant aneurysms were treated using surgical trapping. Postoperatively, 41 patients had a good recovery. One patient after aneurysm trapping had ischemic infarction in the PCA tertiary and presented with hemiparesis and homonymous hemianopia. However, this patient recovered after three weeks of treatment. Conclusion: Subtemporal approach is the most appropriate approach to clip the aneurysms of the P 2 segment. It allows the neurosurgeon to operate on the aneurysms while preserving the patency of the parent artery. Gaint P 2 segment aneurysms can safely be treated by rapping of the aneurysm by combined subtemporal or pterional-subtemporal approach in experienced hands.ICG angiography will be an important tool in monitoring for the presence of residual aneurysm or perforating artery occlusion during aneurysm clipping. Preoperative lumbar drainage of cerebrospinal fluid may help to avoid temporal lobe damage.
Transforaminal epidural steroid injection via a preganglionic approach for lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar discogenic pain with radiculopathy p. 248
Serdar Kabatas, Tufan Cansever, Cem Yilmaz, Ozgen Ilgaz Kocyigit, Evrim Coskun, Emre Demircay, Aykan Akar, Hakan Caner
Background: Epidural steroid injection (ESIs) is one of the treatment modalities for chronic low back pain (CLBP) with various degrees of success. Aim: We analyzed the efficacy of fluoroscopically guided transforaminal epidural steroid injections (TFESIs) via a preganglionic approach in patients with foraminal stenosis due to lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar discogenic pain with radiculopathy. Materials and Methods: We analyzed the data of 40 patients (February 2008 and April 2009) with the diagnosis of CLBP and treated by fluoroscopically guided TFESIs via a preganglionic approach. Patients were followed-up at one month (short term), six months (midterm) and one year (long term) after injections. Follow-up data collection included the Visual Numeric Pain Scale (VNS) and North American Spine Society (NASS) patient satisfaction scores. Results: The mean age of the patients was 59.87 ± 15.06 years (range 30 - 89 years, 25 women). Average follow-up period was 9.22 ± 3.56 months. Statistically significant differences were observed between the pre-procedure and post-procedure VNSs (P < 0.01, Pearson Correlation Test). Improvements in VNS scores were correlated with improvements in the NASS scores. When the VNS scores were evaluated with respect to the age of patient, level numbers, gender, pre-procedure symptom duration and pre-procedure VNS, no significant differences were found (P < 0.05, linear regression test). At short term evaluation in post treatment (one month), 77.78 % of patients were found to have a successful outcome and 22.22 % were deemed failures. Overall patient satisfaction was 67.23 % in the midterm period. Additionally, 54.83 % of patients (N/n: 15/8) had a successful long-term outcome at a follow-up of one year. Conclusion: Our data suggest that fluoroscopically guided TFESIs via a preganglionic approach, in patients with foraminal stenosis due to lumbar spinal stenosis and lumbar discogenic pain with radiculopathy, has effective outcome and patients responding to injection have significantly lower post-injection pain scores.
Morphometric analysis of the thoracic pedicle: An anatomico-radiological study p. 253
Balaji S Pai, Gangadhara , S Nirmala, S Muralimohan, SM Varsha
Background: Knowledge of the morphometric anatomy of the pedicles in thoracic spine is essential for the surgeon attempting thoracic pedicle screw placement. Aim: To study the morphometry of the pedicles in the thoracic spine in Indian subjects and note the anatomical landmarks required for safe and accurate pedicle screw placement. Settings and Design: An anatomico-radiological study with cadaveric confirmation was conducted in a medical college and tertiary care center. Materials and Methods: Morphometric anatomy of 720 pedicles from T1-T12 was studied. The study consisted of 15 separated thoracic vertebral cadavers and 15 computed tomographic scans of undiseased thoracic spine. Transverse and sagittal pedicle diameters, transverse pedicle angle, chord length and the pedicle entry point landmarks were studied. Using the results, accuracy of the pedicle screw placement was confirmed in 120 pedicles from five unseparated cadavers. Results: Transverse pedicle diameter was narrowest at T4 and gradually increased craniocaudally. Twenty-two percent of the pedicles from T4 to T6 were less than 4.5 mm, but none were less than 3.5 mm. The transverse pedicle angle was widest at T1 (26.50) and decreased caudally to T12 (8.10). The chord length gradually increased caudally from a minimum of 30.4 mm at T1 to a maximum of 43.3 mm at T12. Landmarks (transverse and vertical distance) for the pedicle entry point were measured from the reference point taken as the center of the junction of lamina and the transverse process. The pedicle entry point was always superolateral to this reference point. Conclusion: Knowledge of the pedicle diameter and chord length is essential for choosing the appropriate pedicle screw, whereas the pedicle angle and the entry point are important for accurate screw placement.
Endovascular treatment of ruptured distal anterior cerebral artery aneurysm p. 259
Qinghai Huang, Jie Shen, Yi Xu, Jianmin Liu
Background: Distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms are less common, accounting for 3.1 to 9.2% of all intracranial aneurysms.The clinical characteristics and surgical techniques are quite different from those of other aneurysms of Willis circle. Objective: We aimed to investigate the clinical and radiographic characteristics of ruptured distal anterior cerebral artery (DACA) aneurysms and the efficacy of endovascular treatment for these lesions. Patients and Methods: From 1998 to 2008, 41 patients with 44 DACA aneurysms were treated by endovascular coiling, including parent vessel occlusion using coils or coils combined with n-butyle-2-cyanoacrylate (NBCA) in two, endosaccular coiling alone in 39, and stent-assisted coiling in three. Results: Technical success was achieved in 40 (97.6%) patients. Among the 41 aneurysms successfully treated with endosaccular coiling or stent-assisted coiling, complete occlusion was obtained in 37, neck remnant in two, and partial occlusion in two. Two patients with poor pretreatment conditions died of cerebral vasospasm. The morbidity was 4.87%. One case each of unruptured recurrence and rebleeding were seen in follow-up DSA of 34 patients and MRA in five cases. Conclusion: Our preliminary results show that endovascular treatment for DACA aneurysms is safe and effective. However, the relative high recurrent rate highlights long-term follow-up for its security.
Apolipoprotein E polymorphism and outcome after mild to moderate traumatic brain injury: A study of patient population in India p. 264
Nupur Pruthi, BA Chandramouli, Thelma B Kuttappa, Shobini L Rao, DK Subbakrishna, Mariamma Philips Abraham, Anita Mahadevan, SK Shankar
Background: The nature and extent of recovery after traumatic brain injury (TBI) is heterogeneous. Apolipoprotein E (APOE) plays a major role in repair of cell membrane and growth of neurites following injury to cells. Studies done on the western population have shown that the APOE e4 genotype is associated with poor survival following neurotrauma. Aim: To explore the association of APOE polymorphism and outcome following TBI in a patient population from a tertiary care hospital exclusive for neurological diseases in south India. Patients and Methods: Ninety eight patients who sustained mild to moderate TBI (computed tomography (CT) scan brain showing traumatic parenchymal contusions) were the subjects of the study and the study period was from November 2003 to December 2008. APOE polymorphism status was determined by PCR technique using venous blood. Patients were assessed on follow-up with a battery of four neuropsychological tests as well as Glasgow outcome scale. Results: Of the 98 patients, 20 (20%) patients had at least one APOE e4 allele. A follow-up of minimum six months was available for 73 patients. None of the12 patients who had at least one APOE e4 allele had a poor outcome at six-month follow-up whereas 11(18%) patients without an APOE e4 allele had a poor outcome (Fisher's Exact test, P=0.192). On the neuropsychological tests, performance of patients with APOE e4 allele did not differ significantly from those without these alleles. Conclusion: This study does not support the current contention that the presence of APOE e4 allele should have a significant negative effect on the outcome after TBI.
Invasive rhino-cerebral fungal granuloma p. 270
Muralimohan Selvam, Anil Pande, Vasudevan M Chakravarthy, Ravi Ramamurthi
Background: Increased incidence of fungal infection has been reported globally in the recent years. Fungal infection of the central nervous system remains one of the most difficult diseases to treat and requires multi-modality intensive therapeutic strategies. Materials and Methods: Retrospective analysis of case records of patients with confirmed skull base fungal granuloma treated at a tertiary hospital between 1988-2008. An attempt was made to stage the extent of skull base fungal granuloma based on neuroimaging, operative findings and course of the disease on serial follow-up. Results: Thirty-three patients with skull base fungal granuloma were treated surgically during the study period. The mean age at presentation was 33.2 years and diabetes was a major predisposing factor. Eight patients expired in the first two months following surgical intervention due to flare-up of the disease. Eighteen patients who underwent grossly total excision had a mean progression-free survival (PFS) of 43 months and seven patients with subtotal excision had a mean PFS of 23 months. Better survival probability was noted in those patients who underwent total excision at surgery and received complete course of amphotericin. Conclusion: Total surgical excision with complete course of antimycotic drug therapy increases PFS. A better antimycotic drug with less toxicity and high efficacy with fungicidal property can make a difference in the outcomes of the disease.
A comparative study evoking a sensory action potential from the medial and lateral plantar nerves using the probe and ring method of stimulation p. 277
Jamila K Adam, Reneal Bechoo, Wafaa S Rmaih
Nerve conduction studies (NCS) aid in the detection of foot nerve pathologies. However, there has been a debate on method of plantar nerves stimulation that is more effective; the ring method of stimulation or probe method of stimulation. This study aims at determining the one method that is more effective among the two methods of stimulating for eliciting proper responses. Thirty healthy adults, aged 19 to 55 years, free of any neurological disease were the subjects of the study. Values considered for determining the effectiveness of the stimulating technique were mean amplitudes of the evoked responses from medial and lateral plantar nerves. A significant increase in amplitude difference was noted in favor of the probe stimulation method. The amplitude difference noted in favor of the probe method of stimulation was double the values elicited by the ring method of stimulation in both the medial and lateral plantar nerves. Results suggest that the direct probe method of stimulation may be a more effective method of stimulating for the medial and lateral plantar nerves studies.
Endoscopic treatment of the suprasellar arachnoid cyst p. 280
YR Yadav, Vijay Parihar, Mallika Sinha, Nishin Jain
Surgical options for suprasellar arachnoid cyst are cystoperitoneal shunt, craniotomy fenestration and endoscopic fenestration. Endoscopic management has been found to be safe and effective. We report our experience with endoscopic management in 12 (male five, female seven; age range 8 months to 42 years) patients with suprasellar arachnoid cyst. The endoscopic procedure included lateral ventricle puncture by precoronal burr hole and superior and inferior wall of the cyst was communicated with the lateral ventricle and the interpeduncular cistern respectively. All patients had hydrocephalus. Four pediatric patients had macrocephaly. All adult patients had visual disturbances. One adult patient presented with psychomotor disturbance along with features of raised intracranial pressure. All cases improved following endoscopic treatment. There were no complications or death. One patient required VP shunt. Postoperative MRI showed significant reduction in cyst volume in 11 patients. Follow-up ranged from 6 months to 6 and a half years. Our study suggests that endoscopic technique is a safe and effective alternative treatment for suprasellar arachnoid cyst. It prevents complications such as subdural effusion and intracranial hematoma, which are not uncommon with craniotomy fenestration.
Topiramate in prevention of cluster headache in the Taiwanese p. 284
WY Huang, MC Lo, SJ Wang, JJ Tsai, HM Wu
Topiramate could potentially effective as prophylaxis for cluster headache, but the experience remains limited in Asians. We performed an open-label clinical study to evaluate the efficacy of topiramate in the tolerable dosage to prevent cluster headache. We studied patients who fulfilled the criteria of episodic or chronic cluster headaches (International Classification of Headache Disorders second edition) prospectively. Headache severity was assessed using a verbal rating scale (excruciating, severe, moderate, mild, and no headache). Treatment was started with a topiramate dose of 50 mg twice daily and was increased by 50-100 mg a day every 3 to 7 days as tolerated to a maximal daily dosage of 400 mg. Of the 12 patients with episodic cluster headache, nine patients had remission of headache at a mean daily dosage of 273 mg (range 100-400 mg ), and the patient with chronic cluster headache had remission at a daily dosage of 400 mg. The adverse effects included: paresthesia (84%), slow speech (54%), and dizziness (46%), but were tolerated by most patients. Two patients discontinued topiramate due to adverse events and one due to lack of efficacy. This open-label study suggests that topiramate is effective in the treatment of cluster headache in Taiwanese patients.
Diagnosis and surgical management of intraspinal hemorrhagic juxtafacet cysts in lumbar spine: Experience of eight cases p. 288
Kai Gong, Zhe Wang, MM Hai Chen, Zhuojing Luo
Hemorrhagic juxtafacet synovial cysts have rarely been reported in the literature. We reviewed case records of eight patients with hemorrhagic juxtafacet cysts treated surgically. Back pain and acute radicular pain were the presenting features in the all patients. The possible cause for hemorrhage could be indentified in only three patients. Six patients had medial facetectomy and hemilaminectom and two patients with stenosis had medial facetectomy and laminectomy. Following surgery there was immediate relief from pain with significant improvement of the Oswestry disability index (ODI). Six patients had an excellent outcome while the remaing two patients had a good outcome. During the follow-up there was no progression of slippage, no segment instability, and no recurrence. Hemilaminectomy or laminectomy with medial facetectomy without fusion might serve as an effective and safe management strategy to treat lumbar hemorrhagic juxtrafacet synovial cysts.
Surgical management of intracranial aneurysms previously treated with endovascular therapy p. 292
Rajiv Kumar, CE Deopujari, Rajan Shah, Rakesh Luhana
Endovascular treatment with coils of cerebral aneurysm is being increasingly used for definitive treatment. An increasing number of patients are coming for surgical intervention either for recurrences, incomplete coil embolization or its complications. Our objective was to assess the surgical management in such patients. This was a retrospective analysis of the patients who were initially treated with endovascular embolization and later managed surgically with clipping either for unsuccessful coiling, recurrence of aneurysm or post-procedural complication, between 2003 and 2007. Anatomical results were excellent in all five patients, and all the aneurysms were totally excluded from the circulation. All patients had good recovery. None of the patients suffered any major intraoperative or postoperative complication. Neurosurgical management of intracranial aneurysms previously treated with endovascular therapy is an emerging challenge, but with proper patient selection and careful planning, this subset of aneurysms can be managed with good results.
Spinal actinomycosis: A rare disease p. 298
Rakesh K Dua, Dhananjaya I Bhat, Devi B Indira
Actinomycosis is an indolent, slowly progressive infection caused by Actinomyces species. Of human actinomycosis, the spinal form is rare and actinomycosis-related spinal neurological deficit is uncommon. We report two cases with cervical and dorsal actinomycosis and one of them with spinal neurological deficit.
Cryptococcal osteomyelitis of the skull in a patient with transient lymphopenia p. 300
JB Agadi, Naseer Ahmed Madni, Veena Nanjappa, HK Govindaiah
Cryptococcus neoformans is a rarely reported cause for osteomyelitis. We report an extremely unusual case of calvarial cryptococcal osteomyelitis in a 42-year-old sub-optimally immunocompetent male. This case discusses the atypical presentations of cryptococcosis in HIV-negative patients and its importance of early diagnosis.
A rare cause of foot drop after radiofrequency ablation for varicose veins: Case report and review of the literature p. 303
R Shiva Kumar, Malini Gopinath
The treatment option for varicose veins (VV) is mainly surgery both open and minimally invasive. Even though mortality and major morbidity are rare with surgery, minor neurological complications like cutaneous nerve injuries remain a common problem. Involvement of major branches of sciatic nerve is extremely a rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), the other treatment option for VV. To the best of our knowledge, injury to both peroneal and tibial nerves has not been reported following RFA procedure. We report a very rare complication of sudden onset foot drop after RFA for VV. Lack of knowledge of such symptoms may lead to misdiagnosis and electrodiagnostic and magnetic resonance imaging studies can help in correct diagnosis.
Transient alien limb phenomenon in right frontoparietal infarction p. 306
Alien limb phenomenon is associated with different neurological disorders, such as stroke and corticobasal degeneration. It is usually caused by involvement of the corpus callosum, with or without the frontal regions. Rarely, it can result from insult in the posterior cerebral artery territory. Alien limb phenomenon is generally persistent. Here, an unusual case of transient alien hand phenomenon is reported.
Bilateral Lhermitte-Duclos disease p. 309
Mustafa Bozbuga, Ilker Gulec, Hikmet Turan Suslu, Cicek Bayindir
Lhermitte-Duclos disease (LDD) is a pathologic entity with progrediating, diffuse hypertrophy chiefly of the stratum granulosum of the cerebellum. Typically LDD is a unilateral lesion of the cerebellum or in vermis. Here we report a case of LDD with bilateral lesions of cerebellar hemispheres managed surgically. A 28-year-old woman presented with one-year history of progressive headache, nausea, vomiting, and blurred vision. Neurologic examination revealed a bilateral mild papilledema, mild dysmetria, and dysdiadochokinesia. The cerebellar lesions caused moderate mass effect in posterior fossa with hydrocephalus, and Chiari type I malformation. We performed the suboccipital-retrosigmoid approach, and removed completely the left intracerebellar mass. Symptoms related to elevated intracranial pressure disappeared in a short period postoperatively.
Two cases of arachnoid cyst complicated by spontaneous intracystic hemorrhage p. 312
Burak Gunduz, Mustafa Ilker Kuntay Yassa, Ender Ofluoglu, Bulent Ekinci, Uzay Erdogan, Murad Asilturk, Halil Toplamaoglu
Arachnoid cysts are developmental anomalies which are usually asymptomatic. Intracystic hemorrhage after trauma is a well known complication; however, spontaneous intracystic hemorrhage is rare. This report presents two rare cases of arachnoid cyst complicated by spontaneous intracystic hemorrhage. The first patient was admitted following transient loss of consciousness and speech disturbance, and a subacute subdural hematoma at the left temporal region was diagnosed. The second patient presented with severe headache of four days duration and a subdural hematoma at the left temporoparietal region was diagnosed. In both the patients, both on radiological examination and during surgical intervention, hematomas were found to be intracystic.
Primary pituitary fibrosarcoma presenting with multiple metastases: A case report and literature review p. 316
Zhao-Jian Li, Peng Sun, Yi Guo, Ren-Zhi Wang
Even though many cases of pituitary fibrosarcoma (PF) have been reported, the etiologic classification of these tumors, however, remains undefined. Moreover, owing to the paucity of available case studies, the clinical characteristics of primary pituitary fibrosarcoma (PPF) have not been fully described. We report a 26-year-old female with pathologically confirmed PPF, who presented with features of elevated intracranial pressure, oculomotor nerve palsy, field defects and panhypopituitarism. Despite the combination therapy, which included tumor removal, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated multiple intracranial and extracranial metastases at a seven-month follow-up, and the survival duration from diagnosis was only 11 months. Based on a review of the literature, we propose preliminary etiologic classification criteria for PF as well as a new therapeutic approach to reduce PPF recurrence and metastasis, including extended surgical resection and postoperative whole-brain radiotherapy.

Nollywood screen adaptation of Tunde Leye’s “Finding Hubby” hits cinemas November
Nollywood film making
Femi Ogunsanwo, a movie producer/director, on Saturday said the Nollywood screen adaptation of “Finding Hubby”, Tunde Leye’s viral story, was set to hit the cinemas late in November.
Ogunsanwo told newsmen that the movie, which was the remake of the 2012 fan-favourite, captures 35-year-old Oyin Clegg’s search for her handsome prince.
He said “Finding Hubby” captures the journey of Clegg and her two friends, Toke and Gloria, in the adventure of “kissing the many frogs” in the quest to find their prince.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Ogunsanwo has been behind entertainment successes such as Ojukokoro, Knockout Blessing, Jemeji and Ajoche.
“The cast and crew of the movie have been carefully selected to ensure that the viral story is retold on video without losing any of the elements that made it a fan-favourite.
“It was an exhilarating experience creating a movie out of this story that was followed by over two million people online and on radio.
“I can’t wait for fans to see what will definitely be the most talked about movie this year,” Ogunsanwo said.
He added that “Finding Hubby” explored themes of friendship, love and finding happiness in oneself.
The producer/director disclosed that “Finding Hubby” would be distributed by Genesis Film Distribution. (NAN)
