Watch the video below. What lesson can we learn from Jason McElwain’s story?
CLICK HERE to see the video.
Hunter Chavez
I watched a video in class about a kid named Jason Mcelwains, who was a kid with autisum and was the maneger of the school’s basketball team. One game his coach let him put on a jersy and play for his last basketball team of the school year. One thing I learned from Jason Mcelwains, is that if you try hard and never give up you can make it. Llike when Jason made the three point shots, he did not just make one, he made twenty that made everyone proud and that means if you keep trying you can make it.

Jason McElwain is a high school student from New York. But Jason isn’t like the other high school boys. Jason is autistic. Jason helped out on the basketball team but never got to play. Jason’s job was to fetch water, wipe sweat, and pump up the team. Jason was so passionate about the game, one time coach decided to give Jason a jersey so he would know what it felt like. But in the 4th quarter the team needed help. Coach got Jason off the bench and put him in the game. Jason shot two airballs but didn’t stop trying. Then he made a basket from the three point line. Then he shot another, then another, then another! He was on a roll! There was about 4 seconds left in the 4th quarter and the team needed one last shot. Jason set himself, shot the ball, and made it! In all, Jason shot 6 three-pointers in a row! The buzzer rang and the whole school was cheering and worshiping Jason. Jason had never felt like that before.

Jason McElwain is the basketball coach's assistant that helps with drills and gets water for the team.
In the final game of the season the coach lets him try on the uniform, that was the plan at least, the coach called on him to come out; he tried to score a basket but misses he tries again and misses, then he shoots six more times and gets three pointers every time in the last four minutes of the game. I think we could learn from Jason never to give up; we could also learn to inspire our teammates like he does. I hope you watch the video about Jason McElwain!
Emberley Thornewood
Jason McElwains was a high schooler when this video was made he was on the basketball team helping out the couch with stuff until the last game of the season the couch let him wear a uniform just to feel what it's like then the couch called him out to play jason missed two shots until he got it in the basket 6 times.
Some lessons I learned from Jason McElwains story is even if your different you can still make a difference in the world [etc. win a game,make music] something I noticed is at the end it said “because jason is autistic jason says he is used to feeling different but never this different never this wonderful.” that is a great lesson even if you're different and feel different you can still make a change in the world and you can feel good inside even if it was a small thing like making someone's day you can still do good and feel wonderful about it.
Josiah Peters
Jason McElwain is a high school student with autism who was the assistant coach who also brought water and towels to the basketball team but he never got to play. Even though he had the most spirit But then in the last game of the season he was suddenly called into the game. He missed the first two shots he took but then he got six more three pointers.
I learned to never give up even when you fail a couple of times. I also learned that even if you have something like autism you can still do it. Finally, I learned that even if you’ve never done something you can still do it if you work hard enough.
I think Jason is very admirable.

Jason McElwain is a high schooler with autism and he is the assistant manager of the basketball team and one game he got to play and he made a lot of three pointers. The lesson I can learn from jason McElwain is never give up because in the game he missed the first two shots but he didn't give up and then he drained the next six shots. So that's what I learned from jason McElwain.
Warren Banks
Jason Mcbaldwin is a good basketball player because he made three shots in 4mins. He is Confident because he was missing a lot of hupes then he made it at the 4th time so I see him confident. He had respect he just right in when coach pointed right at him he just went straight in with no complaining. Lastly he is helpful because he teaches the team and sometimes his coach. I really admire him and every time I see a basketball game I will remember the video of him shooting those hoops. Those are what I think of him.
Caitlin Cooper
Jason Mcelwain has autism and wants to play basketball but his coach doesn't let him play because of his autism. So he helps his coach teach the high school basketball . He is also in high school and loves basketball , he was never in a game but he always helps the players with getting their water and wiping of their sweat. Jason’s virtues are patient, enthusiastic and happy. The coach told Jason that he could put a jersey on,but that didn't mean that he could play, the coach shouted his number and he went on the basketball field. First he missed the first shot then the second, but he didn’t give up then the third shot, he did a three pointer and then again and again the crowded cheered Jason did it!
Aaron Davis
Jason McElwain is a highschool student with autism. He enjoys basketball and is a team manager for his school's basketball team. Jason is enthusiastic. He shows that by cheering on and encouraging his team in every game. Even when they lose he's still cheering and encouraging his team. He also has a cool choach for letting him put a jersey on and play in the game.The coach might of put him in for many reasons. One of the reasons being he was very persistent. He showed that by even when he didn't play for over 2 years he didn't give up. Even though he didn't get to play he still came to practice everyday just to help the team out.I think videos like this help remind us to include others and sometimes when given an opportunity people can sucede above there expectations.
Davis Limbaugh
Jason McElwain is from New York and is autistic. He is the team manager for the basketball team at his school. it was his last season being team manager so his coach let him dress down in uniform and they weren’t gonna let him play but coach let him in and he scored SIX three pointers and the crowd went crazy every time.
We can learn that Jason McElwain is patient and enthusiastic. He is patient because he doesn't go crazy all over the floor and doesn’t scream at the players right away. He is enthusiastic because he brings up his team when their down and is really firing up. That is the story and what I learned about Jason McElwain.
Jason McElwain is a kid that is autistic. He is a manager for a basketball team and had never played in a game. Something we can learn from this video is that you can do anything if you never give up. For example the kid had always loved basketball and when he was allowed to play he missed the first two shots then he kept scoring one after another until the final shot he scored at the end of the timer and everybody cheered for him. He had missed the first two shots and because he didn’t give up, he kept going and won the game for his team. So because he didn’t give up he won the game, that is what I think we can learn from Jason McElwain’s story. That you should never give up and try your hardest.

Jason Elwien
Jason was a high school student that love basketball and had but autism and he never made the team all though he helped out the couch and the players.and the last game couch put him in an outfit but didn't let him play is what they thought 4 minutes lift couch put him in his first and second shot but he did not give up and he made 6 3 pointers and the crowd went crazy every time that is a story of jason Elwien.
allie bess

With the last 4 minutes left on the clock the coch put him out on the floor and the first two baskets he denet make but then he made six three pointers and the crowd went wild.
He spread happiness all over.
That is the story that i learned from Jason MicElwan and that is to never quit.
Lexi gomes
Jason McElwain is a high school boy who has autism and tried to make a basketball team but never did. Jason was the coach's helper who loves basketball. One day he actually gets to play, but misses twice in the real game. After those misses he actually made six shots and the crowd went wild.
Jason has many virtues such as he is patient, enthusiastic, confident. He is patient because he waited years to actually get to play basketball. He always tried to make the team but he never did. He finally got to play on the court in the game. He missed twice but he kept on trying that is how he is confident, after those misses he tried again and made it! He was so happy and he shot five more after that. He was successful with each try,
I obviously think we can all learn from Jason and we should he is a great role model.

Jayson is an Assistant coach on a basketball team He is autistic and in the last game he put a jersey on and wasn’t supposed to Play. Then he ended up playing The first shot was an airball the second shot he missed and then the next six he got three pointers. After that the crowd went loud. I learned that he is patient because he waited until his coach put him in the basketball game. He also never gave up, he kept trying to shoot the basketball for a few times he missed but he did not give up and got six three pointers.You can learn a lot about Jayson.
Fatima Vazquez
Jason McElwain is a high school boy with autism. Jason was on a basketball team, but he never got to play in the games, until the last game of the season when the coach pointed at Jason and told him to go play in the game. His first two shots he missed but the rest he made. When he made them the crowd went wild and they were very excited and happy for him. Every time he would make a basket the crowd would go even more crazy. The last time he made a basket the crowd went wild.
The lesson we can learn from Jason McElwain's story is that we should never give up because Jason never gave up and he always stuck with his team even if he wasn’t allowed to play. We can also learn from his story to always stay positive. Another thing we can learn is that anybody can do anything no matter what.
As you can see, you can learn many lessons in life from Jason McElwain’s story.
Alaina McFarland
Jason McElwain has supported his high school basketball team for years, and he has a lot of enthusiasm. He is very good at giving pep talks and getting the team ready for games. On the last game of the season, the coach decided to let Jason put on a jersey and sit on the bench with the players. Jason was really excited about this, but the coach went one step further and, in the last few minutes of the game, he put Jason in. Jason missed the first two times, but then he got six baskets in a row.
I learned a lot from the video we watched about Jason’s story. First, Jason never gave up, even though he missed the first two baskets in front of a crowd. Even if it takes more than a few tries, you should keep going and believe in yourself, and you could achieve great heights. I also learned that kindness and enthusiasm matter a lot. Jason always made sure that the team had what they needed for a good game. Jason’s coach wanted to give a kindness of his own, and show Jason that he had noticed his positive actions. Something else I learned is that we should never judge a person by one characteristic. Jason has autism, so his brain works a little differently, but not better or worse than someone else’s. People can have many different qualities, and not one of them matters more than the rest.
I think I learned a lot from the video we watched, including some good characteristics. I think these qualities are very important, and great to have.
Sonny David-Malig
Jason McElwain is a boy in high school with autism. He is the assistant coach to the basketball team they have. He is very enthusiastic about basketball, so one day the coach let him “Suit up” to feel what is was like. That was the plan, but he shot six three pointers, but before that he missed the shot two times. Jason McElwain is now known as a basketball hero. What i think we can learn from Jason McElwain’s story is that we should never give up and persevere. I also think you shouldn’t let anything or anybody stop you from achieving your dreams.
joseph vasquez
Jason is an autistic Basketball coach assistant. He was aloud to suit up in basketball uniform to get him to know the feeling of being a player on the team. But then the coach pointed to him to signal him to play. With 4 minutes left. He mist the first and second shot. His third shot he made a 3 pointer. He made six 3 pointers which he almost made 20 points but he got 18. Every 3 pointer he made, made crowd got crazier. He made a buzzer shot then the teams crowded around him as the crowd did to.
Jason inspires me because he never gives up. He keeps on going instead of stopping when he made a shot. He kept going because he wanted to get more points. He is also a person that expressed his feelings. When Jason's team a win’s games he gets happy, if they lose he would become sad with his team.
Annie Gates
I think Jason McElwain is a good example of good leadership because he didn't let his disability stop him from being successful in doing what he loves. I learned that if you put your mind to it no matter what disability you have if you put your mind to it you will succeed in what you love.
Ali Duitsman
There is a boy named Jason Mcelwain who loves basketball and never made any of the teams he tried out for. In the last game of the season something amazing happened the coach was just going to let him dress up and feel the way the basketball players felt so he did but with 4 minutes left he actually let him play. In his own words he said it was “hot as a pistol”. The lesson that can be learned is that you can overcome any opcicle that's in front of you. Jason having autism is a big obstacle in life but he never let it stand in his way. He loved the game of basketball and he never stopped trying.
elly blair
Jason McElwain’s is autistic. He loves basketball but he did not make the team. On the last day the coche let him suit up. The coche picked 52, Jason. The first two shots were airballs. Then he made 6 shots in a row. The second everyone went wild.
Jason is helpful, he has courage, caring, joyful. Helpful, he is helpful because he didn't make the team but he still helped the coche. Courage, instead of being embarrassed, he did not give up. Caring, he must be caring because he helps people. Joyful, he was so happy to even suit up.
He is a very special person, and I hope he keeps helping and caring for people. Thank you for reading my message.
lillianna rowe
Jasson Mcelwain is a otistaic boy who lived in New York and went to a high school he loved basketball a lot but he could never make the team. Not because he was different but the coach let him help out the team and be the water boy but also help the other boys in a pracitec he would come to all of the games and cheer the boys on and tell them what they were doing wrong he knew a lot about basketball more than the players did so we were like the second coach. But at the last game of their high school craer the coach let him be uniform just to see how it felt but he wasn’t going to put him in the game. Then he did the first shot was a side shot on the right side but he airballed the second was a three and missed again. Then he made six threes in a row the crowd went wild on all of the shots. Jasson is a very confident person for going out there and trying his best on his first two shots but he didn’t give up, he kept trying then he made all of the rest of his shots. He is a very uplifting person to go to there pracites every day to help the boys out even though he wasn’t playing is pretty amazing and in one of the pictures he was all dressed up but just as excited for the team maybe even more. For being otistaic he is a well raised kid and a lot of people should learn from Jasson Mcelwain’s story.
Jason is a person who never played basketball but he liked it he would be like a coach to the players so the coach made a plan to suit Jason up to wear basketball clothes for their last game but at the last few Minutes they put Jason in the game the first shot he took he air balled it then he shot it again I made a 3-pointer and the whole crowd goes crazy they were all screaming and stuff and like he kept on going and he kept on making the three pointers and make the whole crowd would go crazy and from seeing that video if it made me feel like if you have special ed in anything of that it doesn't mean you're not like others we are all the same and that is it for this blog.
Caleb Pruis
Jason McElwain was born with autism. He loved basketball but did not make the team. So he stayed and helped at practice like give water to the players, towel of sweat, and motivate the team. And at the finale game coach Jonson let Jason wear a uniform but not play. But that's what people thought but at the last four minutes coach Jonson pointed to number 52 Jason. His first shot missed his second shot miss but his third shot was a know doubt three pointer that game he made six three pointers twenty points in all. Jason all was felt different but not that different. Jason was a big inspiration to me.
Teagan Quigley
Jason McElwain is a autistic high school boy who loves basket ball, he didn’t make any of the teams that he tried out for so he is the assistant coach of his high school team . Jason McElwain is very enthusiastic and encouraging. He never gives up because on the last game of the season his coach planned to put him in a jersey so that he could see what is feels like to wear a jersey and sit on the bench like a player. But with four minutes left in the game the coach put him in the game. The crowd went crazy when that happened. On his first two shots he missed but on his third shot he made it and got a bunch of three pointers. Jonson McElwain encourages me to keep trying even if I mess up.
Jillian Duran
Jason McElwain is a boy in high school boy with autism, he tried out for a basketball team he didn't make the team but the coach let him be a manager to help out the team. For the last season the coach let him suit up. Then with four minutes left in the game coach Jonson stood up pointed to number fifty-two which is Jason. He misses two shots and then he ends up shooting six three pointers right after each other that got his team twenty points. The crowd got a little more crazy after every basket. The last basket right at the buzzer created total mayhem. Jason says “he is used to feeling different but not that different.” Jason McElwain showed great leadership by not letting his disabilities get in the way of the game.
logan jolly
Jason McElwain is in high school and tried out every year for basketball but didn’t get on the team so he helps out with the team and brings them water and other stuff needed. He also goes to every game and practice. In the last game of the season his coach let him were a real jersey and ended up playing in the game. He got the ball shot missed got the ball again missed then he got the ball and shot and made it he got the ball 6 more times and made them all. I learned from this story that if you give up then you won’t achieve that goal.
judd williams
I can learn from Jason Mcelwain story is that you do not have to be normal to do something that makes you happy.
Maddie Gee

Jason McElwain is a autisic high school student in New York, he’s the assistant coach for the basketball team. The coach let him wear a jersey at one game and unexceping sent him in to play. He made around ten shots and only missed two. The team won the game and Jason McElwain became the new school hero.
I learned from his story to keep trying to reach your goal, for example let’s say you were trying to get on the soccer team for your school but, you weren’t that good at soccer if you keep practicing at home, school, anywhere really if you keep practicing you will reach that goal and you will make the team not necessarily a soccer team but, you’ll reach your goal if you keep practicing/trying to reach that goal.
Now you know what I learned from Jason McElwain’s story.
Lexi Gee
Jason McElwain is a autistic teenager who was in high school. He was an astitant couch, and had never actully played basket ball. On the last game of the season out of knowhere they let him play, his first shoots were airhoops but after that he made 6 hoops! I think we could learn to never give up.
Sakura Konzen
Jason McElwain is a special ED kid with autism. Jason McElwain was devoted to basketball but had a little trouble so he was the coach’s assistant and later on he was an actual player that made his team win. So Jason had inspired me that if you have a disability that it’s not impossible to change. The determination in him, His energy, His enthusiasm was just amazing that I was inspired a lot. Jason McElwain is showing that even the toughest times that anything is possible.He is amazing! I was inspired by him that he showed me that nothing is impossible!

Hyundai to invest $530mn to launch six EVs in India by 2028
A Hyundai Motor Co Kona electric vehicle, right, and other vehicles stand on display at the company’s Koncept Hyundai showroom in New Delhi (file). In India, EVs account for less than 1% of total car sales, but the government is aiming for a share of 30% by 2030.
Reuters / New Delhi
South Korea’s Hyundai Motor Co said on Wednesday it planned to invest 40bn rupees ($530mn) to launch six electric vehicles in India by 2028, making a clean driving push in a country with some of the world’s most polluted cities.
Hyundai, India’s second largest carmaker, will launch affordable and premium electric models including sport utility vehicles (SUVs) and sedans, starting with its first electric vehicle (EV) in 2022, said Tarun Garg, director sales and marketing for Hyundai Motor India.
“We want to be a key contributor to the EV story in India,” Garg told Reuters.
The investment will be sunk into research and development to launch the six vehicles, Hyundai’s Indian arm said in a release.
Stricter emission regulations by governments are propelling automakers globally to invest in EVs, sales of which are expected to increase to about a quarter of total global vehicle sales by 2030 from about 2% today.
In India, EVs account for less than 1% of total car sales, but the government is aiming for a share of 30% by 2030.
Hyundai’s plans also come as the world’s biggest electric carmaker Tesla Inc is preparing to launch its cars in India and has been lobbying the government to lower import duties on EVs.
Hyundai joins rivals Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra in throwing its weight behind EVs at a time when India is pushing automakers to go electric as it looks to reduce pollution and fuel imports.
The country’s top carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, however, is betting on alternate fuels and hybrid technology, and expects to launch EVs starting only in 2025.
Hyundai’s EVs will either be built on its dedicated electric global modular platform (E-GMP), which it plans to bring to India, or on a modified platform on which it currently builds its gasoline cars, Garg said.
The cars built on its dedicated electric platform will have a range of up to 800 kilometres, whereas the others will be able to run for 350-400 kilometres on a single charge, he said.
The company in 2019 launched its Kona EV in India but sales were tepid as the price was high and charging infrastructure was negligible at the time.
Garg said Kona taught the company the need to make its EVs affordable, while also providing different charging solutions.
Hyundai is in talks with suppliers to locally source and manufacture components for its EVs, which will help it make the cars more affordable.
In addition to providing home chargers, Hyundai is also looking to form strategic tie-ups to provide public charging facilities, Garg said.
“Kona was about testing the waters in India.
The learnings from it have given us the confidence to make this push,” he said.

Apple currently featuring "radio apps" and Stormy Productions has a strong presence on the list
I was pleasantly surprised this morning to discover Apple currently has a list of featured radio apps on the iTunes store, and Stormy Productions was involved in the creation of 10% of those apps.
There are two lists, one for iPhone apps and one for iPad apps.
The iPhone list contains 30 apps, and I've had a hand in the creation of 4 of those apps. Specifically, I wrote all the code for both the Tunemark Radio and JAZZ.FM apps. I also wrote all the radio streaming code and the "now playing" portion of the user interface code for the Public Radio App. And finally, I wrote the radio streaming code used by the PRI app. (A good friend of mine wrote the rest of the code for the PRI app - congrats Rob!).
For the iPad list of featured radio apps there are only 11 apps listed, and Tunemark Radio is one of them!
As an iPhone developer, one always hopes to some day have an app make Apple's "featured" lists on the front page of iTunes, so I am unbelievably happy today to have several make one of Apple's lists.
As for what effect this exposure has on app downloads, I only have access to the stats for the Tunemark Radio app (the rest of the apps are under other developer accounts), but I can say, for my Tunemark Radio app, after one day being on this featured radio app list, the number of downloads have more than doubled. The average daily download count jumped from 500 to over 1100.

A true protagonist would not care that they have disabled brother, but they would help them achieve anything to their best ability. Authors typically use literary elements in order to establish and portray an advanced and complex theme. This sorrowful story centers around a young boy, William Armstrong, also known as Doodle, who was born with a life-threatening medical condition. With the help of his older brother, the narrator, Doodle overcomes obstacles and breaks down barriers, that no one ever expected him to get past. Essays Essays FlashCards. Browse Essays. Sign in.

Biff and Happy know that all their father wants is for them to become successful businessmen. While trying to teach them how to succeed, Willy actually damaged them. He hurt Biff by going too easy on him in his childhood years, showing him the harsh reality of lies, and not letting him make the-what do you want to do when you grow up- decision on his own.

This data article describes the dataset of the International COVID-19 Impact on Parental Engagement Study (ICIPES). ICIPES is a collaborative effort of more than 20 institutions to investigate the ways in which, parents and caregivers built capacity engaged with children’s learning during the period of social distancing arising from global COVID-19 pandemic. A series of data were collected using an online survey conducted in 23 countries and had a total sample of 4,658 parents/caregivers. The description of the data contained in this article is divided into two main parts. The first part is a descriptive analysis of all the items included in the survey and was performed using tables and figures. The second part refers to the construction of scales. Three scales were constructed and included in the dataset: ‘parental acceptance and confidence in the use of technology’, ‘parental engagement in children’s learning’ and ‘socioeconomic status’. The scales were created using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Multi-Group Confirmatory Analysis (MG-CFA) and were adopted to evaluate their cross-cultural comparability (i.e., measurement invariance) across countries and within subgroups. This dataset will be relevant for researchers in different fields, particularly for those interested in international comparative education.

Clean Earth Technologies’ New Class Of Polymers Invented By Associate Professor, Justin Chalker, Receives Australian Pm’s New Innovator Award
By : Krishna Anindyo | Friday, October 30 2020 - 10:30 IWST
Clean Earth Technologies (CET)
LiuGong Drives INTA Heavy Equipment Sales Growth
Exploring New Business Opportunities, PORT Prepares Performance Strategy for 2022
INDUSTRY.co.id - Singapore – Clean Earth Technologies (“CET”), which collaborates extensively with the renowned Chalker Lab from Flinders University in Australia, today announced that Associate Professor Justin Chalker is one of the recipients of the Australian Prime Minister’s prestigious “New Innovator Award” for the year 2020, under the Australian Awards for Science.
Associate Professor Justin Chalker has invented a novel class of polymers synthesised directly from elemental sulphur which is a waste by-product of the petrochemical industry and renewable plant oils.
This new class of polymers is now patented and assigned to CET and has the capability to provide sustainable solutions to long-term global environmental challenges by replacing toxic practices. CET’s collaboration with Associate Professor Chalker on this development is the first of many more exciting developments to come.
“We congratulate Associate Professor Chalker for receiving the prestigious New Innovator Award from the Prime Minister of Australia. He is being recognised for his invention which can provide sustainable solutions to some of humanity’s greatest challenges, namely, ensuring clean air, fresh water and sustainable food production. The sulphur-based polymer has the potential to be a game-changer in solving environmental problems”, said Mr Kevin Fell, Group CEO of Clean Earth Technologies.
The vast majority of polymers (such as conventional plastic and rubber) are made from unrenewable building blocks and many of these materials are non-recyclable. Associate Professor Chalker’s ground-breaking research translates these laboratory discoveries into global technologies that help protect the environment and benefit mankind.
“Sulphur which is a by-product of the petroleum industry, is produced in millions of tonnes every year. There are literally mountains of it lying around the planet. We convert that waste sulphur into new polymers that have never existed before, to use in innovative applications. This includes capturing heavy metal pollution (for example, mercury), oil spill clean-up, slow-releasing fertiliser and the recovery of valuable metals such as gold. We are proud to be working with CET to translate these laboratory discoveries into global technologies that help protect the environment. CET has invested heavily in South Australia to get a plant up and running to produce this material,” said Associate Professor Chalker from the Flinders University.
“We are pleased to announce that we are now at a stage where we are looking to collaborate with various industry groups to refine these solutions in the field”, added Mr Kevin Fell.
These sulphur-based polymers are genuinely providing non- toxic alternatives in addressing these environmental concerns:
Oil Spill Clean-Up
This novel polymer has a high affinity for crude oil and diesel fuel. It can be used in cleaning up oil spills in the ocean and water-ways. When the polymer is applied to an oil spill, it gathers the oil into a gel upon contact for easier retrieval. This is a breakthrough in cleaning up oil spills when incidents happen in the ocean or water-ways.
Mercury and Cyanide-Free Gold Mining
Artisanal and small-scale gold mining is the largest source of mercury pollution on Earth. Nearly 20 million subsistence miners are using mercury to extract gold from ore in formal and large- scale gold mining. It is also common to use highly toxic cyanide to leach gold.
Associate Professor Chalker has recently patented a gold mining process that eliminates the use of toxic mercury and cyanide. The process features a novel and safe way to rapidly leach the gold in high yield.
The sulphur polymer is then used to recover the gold. This process is being developed commercially for both gold mining and e-waste recycling. CET is ready to offer this solution to get rid of mercury and cyanide in artisanal and small-scale gold mining operations.
Environmental contamination caused by mercury is a serious global issue. Associate Professor Chalker’s polymers are excellent agents for mercury capture. They work to remove contamination from the air, water and soil at a rate and volume competitive with current commercial sorbents.
Slow Release Fertilisers
Associate Professor Chalker has also shown that fertiliser nutrients can be embedded in his sulphur-based polymer. This allows the slow release of nutrients, with the polymer acting as a source of the micronutrient sulphur. Since more than 50 percent of all fertilisers applied globally is lost to run-off, this not only makes them inefficient, but it can also directly impact the ocean and waterways.
The fertiliser formulation by Associate Professor Chalker is a breakthrough for crop production. This solution will be a boon to the agricultural sector.

The Mysterious Death of a Tenor Man – Wardell Gray and the Moulin Rouge
Here is an interesting look at the death of Wardell Gray from Jazzitude.com.
On May 25, 1955, the body of a 34 year-old black man was found in the desert outside of Las Vegas. The man’s neck had been broken, and the body had apprently been dumped from a car. Even though this scenario may sound like it would warrant an autopsy, none was performed. The local coroner and law enforcement officials ruled that the man had died of a drug overdose and the case was closed. It has never been explained how the body came to be in the desert nor how or why its neck was broken. That the body belonged to Wardell Gray, one of jazz’s best West Coast bop tenor players and heir apparent to the legacy of Lester Young, was of no consequence to the authorities.
Gray was born in Oklahoma, making him one of a handful of “western swing” players whose style was characterized by a full and open tone as well as a relaxed but fiercely swinging improvisational style. Though Gray’s folks moved from Oklahoma City to Detroit before he took up the saxophone, he is still identified, along with Don Byas, as a great “western-style” bop tenor player. Wardell played with Earl “Fatha” Hines’ group from 1943 to 1945, and during this stint he recorded with Hines and began to receive recognition as a solid tenor soloist. Coincidentally, Gray joined the band as an alto sax and clarinet player before switching to tenor, just as his predecessor in the band, one Charlie Parker, had done. Following his stint with the Hines band, Gray moved to California, living in Los Angeles, which was fast attracting a large number of musicians inspired by the bebop movement spearheaded on the other coast by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker. It was during this time that he met Dexter Gordon and began to play club dates with Gordon during which the two would engage in musical “battles of the tenors”. It was only natural that the two should record together, the most notable example being the popular Dial Records recording “The Chase”.
In 1945, Central Avenue was Los Angeles’ version of 52nd Street, and there were plenty of musicians and plenty of clubs for them to play in. Some of the notables hanging our in L.A. at the time included Sonny Criss, Charles Mingus, Hampton Hawes, excellent bop pianist Dodo Marmarosa, and Art Farmer. This was the same year that Parker & Gillespie brought their bop group to Billy Berg’s club. The first week the club was packed with musicians who responded enthusiastically to the music, but the general public did not understand or care for the music being played by these East Coast musicians, and the group got the cold shoulder. They left to go back to New York, but Parker, deep in the grip of his drug habit, stayed on in L.A. The young musicians in town idolized Bird, and unfortunately many of them felt they could be better players by studying not only his recordings and improvisational style, but also by becoming heroin addicts. Gray, who was looked up to almost as much as Parker, acted as a role model for younger musicians by not using heroin and telling anyone who would listen that drug use was not the way to become a better player. As Doug Ramsey notes in his piece on Wardell Gray:
“After Bird, the skinny tenor man from the Billy Eckstine band was the musician most admired and respected by the younger players. He spoke quietly and articulately, admired the philosophy of Jean-Paul Sartre and the politics of Henry Wallace, boosted the NAACP and advised fledgling jazzmen on music and life, particularly in regard to the futility of messing with drugs.”
But Parker’s playing did influence Gray, a fact that can be heard on the recordings he did with Benny Goodman’s group in 1948 after moving to New York. Goodman had lost his place as a foremost jazz musician with the advent of bebop, as swing music became seen as passe and overly commercial. Goodman decided to put together a band that would play bebop, and he brought in musicians familiar with the idiom, including Gray, Doug Mettome, and Sonny Iggoe. Fats Navarro also participated in one session. On most of these recordings all of the soloists play in the bebop style, but Goodman’s solos are relatively unaffected by the new stylistic considerations, sounding somewhat out of date. While Goodman did admire players like Gray and Navarro, he found the harmonic ideas of bebop much more interesting than the rhythmic concepts the music introduced. Realizing it was something of an all-or-nothing proposition, Goodman abandoned the bebop style a year later. Wardell Gray was a hit with the group; more than one reviewer commented on his playing as the focal point of the group. The group did some recording for Capitol as well as some air checks during a stint at a resort, and the record Benny Goodman Rides Again provides a good sampling of what this Goodman group sounded like. Goodman was unbridled in his enthusiasm for Gray: “If Wardell Gray plays bop, it’s great” intoned the King of Swing, “because he’s wonderful.”
In 1949, Gray recorded a session with a rhythm section comprised of pianist Al Haig, Tommy Potter on bass, and drummer Roy Haynes. The group cut a B-flat blues entitled “Twisted” that had all the elements of a bebop standard–a latinesque opening, a concise and melodic head, and a great, lyrical solo by Gray that includes a lengthy quote from “Would You Like to Swing On a Star”. A few years later vocalist Annie Ross recorded lyrics set to Gray’s solo, and her version became a popular hit, exposing a huge array of music fans, most of whom had never heard of Wardell Gray, to his solo.
Following his stint with Goodman, Gray joined the Count Basie Orchestra in 1950, also working with the Basie Septet and recording with Tadd Dameron. From ’51 on, Gray worked mostly freelance, often forming his own groups for recording sessions in L.A. and accepting gigs that took him out of town. It was in 1955 that Gray was called to Las Vegas for a gig with Benny Carter, with whom he had previously worked. The gig was at the newly-opened Moulin Rouge, Vegas’ first integrated casino. Sadly, both Gray and the Moulin Rouge would be gone before the end of the year.
Las Vegas is usually thought of as a wild kind of place where “anything goes.” Most people are surprised to learn that, in terms of race relations, the city has a history much like any Southern town; in fact, Vegas was known as the “Missisipi of the West”. Segregation was widespread and enforced by laws that cut blacks out of any reasonable representation. Blacks were not allowed to use city swimming pools and could only purchase cemetary plots in carefully delineated “black” burial areas. Interracial marriage licenses were not granted, and any black citizen requesting such a license with the intention of marrying a white was arrested. The first marriage license granted to an interracial couple in Las Vegas was not issued until 1959.
The same was true of the downtown casinos and the Strip. Blacks were not allowed in the casinos to gamble and were usually not allowed to stay at the hotels and establishments on the Strip where they performed. Bugsy Siegel was the first to hire black performers to entertain at his establishment, the Flamingo, because he wanted the best performers regardless of their race. Lena Horne performed there shortly after the Flamingo opened, but she was not allowed to enter the casino. While she was able to stay at the Flamingo during her tenure there, many performers were not so lucky. Generally the black bands, singers, and comedians who performed downtown had to stay in the area known as the Westside, an area on the west side of the railroad tracks where blacks and their businesses were pretty much kept “hidden” from the rest of the town. Any establishment that would attract a “mixed clientele” (a euphemism for having black customers) was denied a business license unless it was located on the Westside.
In 1955, the Moulin Rouge casino opened at 900 West Bonanza Road. The casino had a clear policy of serving any and all patrons, regardless of race. Because of its open policy, it was able to draw many of the top black entertainers in the country. Black entertainers who performed on the Strip would stay at the Moulin Rouge, and many white entertainers came there to relax and have a good time after their shows. Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr., and Ed Sullivan were all frequent visitors to the Moulin Rouge’s gaming floor. The Moulin Rouge had a “third show”, unlike the Strip casinos which only had a dinner show and a midnight show. This led to an “after-hours” atmosphere at the Moulin Rouge, similar to the jam session atmosphere at integrated jazz clubs in New York or Los Angeles. Nor was the casino merely a front for white businessmen–the management, dealers, and other workers at the Moulin Rouge were all black, a very radical concept a that time not only for Las Vegas, but large parts of the United States.
Benny Carter’s band played at the Moulin Rouge’s opening, and two days later Wardell Gray was dead. What happened? There have been several theories advanced over the years. The commonly accepted story, boosted by the official cause of death report, is that Gray had succumbed to the lure of heroin and either overdosed, resulting in his body being dumped in the desert to keep the Moulin Rouge from being implicated, or that he had been involved in a drug deal that went bad. While Gray’s sermons against drug use to younger musicians and the testimony of many collegues that Gray was a lifelong non-user don’t disprove this, they certainly make it seem somewhat unlikely. So does the apparent unwillingness of Las Vegas law enforcement at the time to entertain any other theories.
Other people who knew Wardell swear that he was murdered because of a gambling debt. Given the nature of Las Vegas and its business, this not outside the realm of possibility. Still another possibility is that Wardell Gray was the victim of a racially motivated murder. Remember that an interracial marriage license wasn’t granted in Vegas for four years after this incident. Despite the success of the Moulin Rouge, black citizens of Las Vegas were still mostly confined to the Westside and there were sometimes eruptions of civil unrest. Whether Gray somehow provoked a racist individual or group by his mere presence or was in the wrong place at the wrong time, it does not stretch the imagination too much to see how something like this could have happened.
Another fact that lends an air of suspicion to events surrounding Gray’s death is the fact that the Moulin Rouge closed after only six months of operation, despite great popularity. Again, there are many theories as to why, ranging from poor business management to pressure from the casinos on the Strip, who felt that the Moulin Rouge was too popular and was competing with their business. Whatever the reason, it seems clear that there were events in both the closing of the Moulin Rouge and the death of Wardell Gray that have not, and may never, come to light.

Teddy Edwards, living in Holland at the end of the 80’s for a year, told me that Wardell had an overdose at the time he played in Las Vegas together with Teddy.
After he died his collegue musicians did not want any trouble with the police. Wardell’s body was brought to the dessert, but when he was taken out of the car his body fell and so his neck was broken.
Wardell Gray was my first favorite jazz tenorplayer after buying a low priced but high quality 2 LP Prestige album in the mid sixties.
Paula Duvall says:
Interesting story, about my stepfather. My mother NEVER spoke of Dad’s death…(I was 11, at the time)…so, I was never able to get any authoritative pronouncement as to what happened, or even why. I watched a televised documentary about Las Vegas, some 10, or 15 years ago, delineating its history…and, there was mention of the Moulin Rouge, and the fact that it closed, and suddenly. I smelled organized crime, behind the closing, and asked my mother whether they might have “offed” Dad. I remember her clenching her teeth, then slowly saying…”There has been talk that his death was the work of The Mob”. From then, on I knew never to speak of his death, again. Now that I am old enough to appreciate his artistry, I can appreciate his phenomenal talent. He was a voracious reader of EVERYTHING from philosophy, Eastern spiritual thought, to mysteries…everything! And, he was an OUTRAGEOUS chef.
Rest, well, Dad…
Freesax says:
I can confirm Han Shulte story. In the late ’80s I used to play in Europe with a musician who shared the same room with Wardell Gray between shows, in Las Vegas. He told me that when he went back to the room with another band mate they found Wardell on the floor next to the bed all dead, he had drugs and probably fell from the bed breaking is neck on the bedside table in the fall they thought. They where indeed afraid to loose their job and maybe been harassed by the police and possibly blamed for Wardell’s death so they thought they had no other choice than taking Wardell’s body outside Las Vegas. They dressed him and dragged him to the car, pretending he was drunk, drove outside town and left him where he was found. I’m not naming him as he still feels bad about what happened and I prefer to remain anonymous as I am a musician and I don’t want to give the impression of making this up to get publicity. Wardell Gray was an outstanding Saxophone player, what a tragic loss; drugs took away so many of my favourite musicians, I will never do drugs.
Darrel Watson says:
Hi Freesax! I’m doing initial research for a dissertation on Wardell Gray and I would really like to talk to you a bit more about your story. please e-mail me at darrel_watson@hotmail.com.
stephen geller says:
Did Teddy play with Wardell in Vegas, and so his story’s first-hand? Or is it apocryphal?
Anything’s possible. Vegas at that time was the Wild West, and the atmosphere was a cross between Mississippi, Broadway, and a hipster’s druggy dream. The cast was as mixed as you could get. Brecht’s Mahagonny was a church picnic by comparison.
Wardell was a genius musician – with the lunatic ideas of bop, the precision of a brain surgeon, and the sweetness of tone that spanned generations of players. It’s hard to hear him now without cursing Death yet again.

“That is something that is rare, even in the born again crowd. Looks to me like many born again believers are in apostasy.Indeed, if their Christianity in America was true, they would be demanding repentance of America’s treacherous leadership, AND people. As well as the Jewish crowd. Sadly, both crowds are choosing to bow to satan, in my opinion. (For the most part) Of course there are always exceptions…”You’re right Jewess.Its because they wear it on their shirts and the walls of their homes but its not in their hearts where it has to be if it is REAL and EFFECTIVE.

However, I plead your pardon, because I truly do not provide credence for a entire concept, all whether it is stimulating probably none the much less.

Robocalls - The "We Just Kidding" Excuse
The legal action around the 2011 robocall scandal is another reminder that real-life legal proceedings are nothing like Law & Order; one hour and you're done! The bad guys are in jail, and it's on to the next case. The comparatively glacial pace of real-life legal matters as compared to their fictional TV counterparts in understandable - We want justice, and we want it now! - but the wheels of jurisprudence grind slowly and deliberately. Every once and a while though, news breaks and we get somewhat closer to a resolution.
In the news this week were the details of a partially lifted publication ban on the case thus far against Michael Sona, director of communications for the Guelph campaign of Marty Burke during the 2011 election. Sona is charged with wilfully preventing or endeavouring to prevent a voter from casting a ballot, and the court placed a publication ban on the case this past August. After petitioning by various media sources, including PostMedia and the CBC, the ban was partially lifted in September, but the full ban coming off this past Wednesday. As for Sona himself, court proceedings have been held over till June at which point it will be decided whether or not Sona will be taken to trial, but the new papers suggest that he maybe somewhat less than the innocent pawn he's been selling himself as since he was thrown under the bus by the party he so loyally served last year.
The lifting of the ban means the release of the names of witnesses - some of whom were reluctant to come forward fearing retaliation and scrutiny - who've given testimony to Elections Canada investigator Al Matthews. According to the CBC, six witnesses are highlighted in particular, and all of them were highly placed staffers for either Members of Parliament or Members of the Senate; some of them are still employed by the government in some capacity. The testimony they gave seemed to indicate that Sona had bragged to them about "a scheme to trick voters," which some have come to interpret as a tacit admission of complicity in defrauding the vote in Guelph through robocalls.
As reported in another article by the CBC, "Michael Sona, in the period shortly after Election Day, advised several of his acquaintances of participation in the false calls made to Guelph electors," Mathews wrote. He added that one witness told him that Sona "gleefully boasted" about the ensuing chaos of the robocalls, and another still described how Sona told them that he bought a "burn phone" and "a Visa card with cash so that it could not be traced," both of which "Pierre Poutine" used to set up the account with RackNine to make the fraudulent robocalls.
Adding insult to injury, interviews further accused Sona of obtaining a list of non-Conservative supporters, "by impersonating someone from the Liberal campaign, using an alias." Sona, according to Matthews' report, "readily confessed to using telephone calls to misdirect Liberal voters," and added that "Sona readily responded [to a question about the matter] that the candidate [Marty Burke] had not been aware of this."
So how does Sona respond to all this? "You lost today, Prosecutor. Better get used to it," he tweeted to Crown Attorney Croft Michaelson.
.@croftmichaelson You lost today, Prosecutor. Better get used to it.
— Michael Sona (@MichaelSona) November 15, 2013
Stay classy, Michael.
When asked to clarify by Global News reporter Laura Stone, Sona tweeted that the witnesses mentioned in the investigation materials will be forced to deal with the harsh light of the public glare. "It's what I've been having to deal [with] for last year. And now they're exposed to the same public scrutiny," he said.
Of course, witness harassment was a genuine concern when the Crown fought to keep the publication last month. Another article on CBC.ca quoted a statement by Crown prosecutor James Clark saying that there is "evidence that harassment of witnesses is already occurring" but "Mr. Sona himself has demonstrated that he will attack these witnesses personally, persistently, and publicly once their names can be published."
But the unholy wrath of Michael Sona unbound by social media isn't the only thing that witnesses have to fear however, some witnesses have also mentioned their concern for their jobs and casting the negative light of the scandal on their bosses. Aside from the mentions of a certain reluctance on some witnesses to come forward as mentioned in the released affidavits, one witness told Matthews that, "You let your fear run with you and then that would be embarrassing for the minister. I would say that was also a huge primary fear of mine."
Not helping that fear, probably, is the ubiquitous presence of Conservative Party lawyer Arthur Hamilton at many of these meetings with Elections Canada. If the released interview materials are most shocking for what the witnesses said about Sona's comments regarding the robocalls, their second most shocking revelation is that Hamilton's putting in a lot of billable hours hand-holding staffers during simple, straightforward interviews with Elections Canada. Another question, why would Jenni Byrne, then-the Conservative Party's national campaign director and now Prime Minister Stephen Harper's deputy chief of staff, tell Burke campaign deputy manager Andrew Prescott* to “Please hold off doing anything until I consult with a lawyer,” when Prescott asked about Matthews request for an interview? Prescott spoke with Matthews via teleconference with Hamilton, but has never provided the Elections Canada investigator an interview in-person and has since retained private council.
*Interesting side note to the man who blogs as the "Christian Conservative Independent," his online silence remains despite some occasional snide remarks via Twitter and a post on his blog from May entitled, "Random thoughts... Emerging from my hiatus?" In the piece he mentions how his application to cover last month's Conservative convention as a member of the media was rejected saying, "You go and try to be a good soldier, and wind end up getting the short end of the stick anyway. Figures." Oddly enough, from what I've read about media access at the convention, I think Prescott might have had a better time paying for his credentials.
The perception of such hands-on involvement, by prominent party members with the investigation hasn't been lost on conservative commentators either. Andrew Coyne tweeted (over two tweets) that, "This bears repeating: why would the Conservative party lawyer and national campaign director take such an active interest in the case of a single rogue campaign worker? Coaching witnesses, telling others not to talk to investigators."
To say that Hamilton and others may have been "coaching witnesses" is a serious, though as of yet unproven, accusation. Still, what are we to think considering that a witness can't talk to an investigator without the counsel of this one, singular Tory lawyer. One the one hand, the (constant) presence of Arthur Hamilton at these interviews suggests that the Conservative Party takes these charges and this investigation very, very seriously, but on the other hand, there's a stray line from one of the interview transcripts that gotten some ill-advised attention.
Rebecca Docksteader, a former staffer for Conservative MP Chris Warkentin, said in her interview that it was her theory that something less insidious might have been happening. “I guess there had been some type of juvenile competition between the Liberal and Conservative campaign staff,” she told investigators. "We understood that there was, you know, maybe one other person involved … it was more of an individual endeavour."
If Guelph were the only riding this happened it, one might be more inclined to give the "prank" theory a bit more weight, but over 200 ridings across Canada reported issues of voter fraud. If it were a prank, it would be the biggest practical joke in the history of the world, and the people these witnesses should be talking to is the Guinness Book of World Records, not Elections Canada. Of course, if the robocall scandal were even that benign, why were highly-place government officials telling witnesses to consult lawyers before returning phone calls to Elections Canada?
"I don't buy it at all," Guelph MP Frank Valeriote told the Guelph Mercury. "This happened in 200 ridings across the country. It wasn't something exclusive to Guelph. It took more than (one person) to deploy whatever strategy was developed. They had to identify Liberal voters not only in 200 ridings, but they had to identify places to send them to in these different ridings."
A couple things remain certain: this was not an "individual endeavour" as Rebecca Docksteader theorized, many of the people involved in the Burke campaign have yet to talk on the record about what they knew and when, this scheme was so much bigger than Guelph, and despite being the only person charged thus far, it's also much bigger than Michael Sona. The wheels of justice grind slowly, but they are grinding, and so far the only one being ground is Sona. Despite his apparently cocksure attitude we have not heard the end of this. Not by a long shot.

Manchester, England, UK
Brunel University London May 08.2016
Description Maps Documents Gallery Video Sources
Manchester is relatively new city, but it already had a long history before it gained a charter and its history traces back almost two millennia. The first recorded settlement of Manchester began in Roman times, when General Julius Agricola, marching northwards with conquest in mind, built a fort in what he considered a good defensible position just north of the present day city.
However, it was not until the 18th century that this hitherto remote and inconspicuous little medieval township sprang into the forefront of world attention, and not until the mid-19th century that it became a city. Actually, it was the neighbouring City of Salford, located immediately opposite across the River Irwell, that dominated the region, Manchester was at that time little more than an outlying suburb.
In fact, the Salford Hundred, of which the city was its administrative hub, covered all lands between the River Ribble to the north and the Mersey to the south, so important and valuable a possession that to this day the sovereign owns and bears the title of Lord of the Manor of Salford. Not until the 19th century, after many protests and petitions to parliament, notably by the Chartists, did Manchester gain the status of a city.
ManchesterUK - a Great City
Reason to Be Selected
During the Industrial Revolution the powerhouse that was Manchester became the hub of a wide network of many small Lancashire townships - little Manchesters as they were sometimes known - towns that serviced the city's massive cotton industry. Surrounding County Borough townships like Blackburn, Burnley, Bolton, Wigan, Salford, Oldham and Rochdale sent their woven and spun produce to the Royal Exchange in Manchester and from thence to the world via the newly created Manchester Ship Canal, and received raw materials which were distributed out from the city and its well established system of canals and railways. Other related crafts such as dyeing, fulling and every possible aspect of the textile industry cause Manchester to be designated Cottonopolis; where 'King Cotton' ruled.
The Manchester Ship Canal saw goods arriving from all over the world into its large Manchester Docks complex, (actually in Salford) now reinvigorated as Salford Quays.
Steam power drove the Victorian city, with water from the many local rivers like the Irwell, Medlock, Irk and Tame, and coal from Worsley via the Duke of Egerton's Bridgewater Canal to Castlefield, or other coal pits around Wigan. A network of newly cut and navigable canals enabled the efficient transportation of raw materials and manufactured goods right into the heart of the city.
Even today, Manchester is marked by its many fine surviving warehouses (now mostly ressurected as hotels and executive apartments) and mills (now frequently relegated to small industrial units). It held onto its reputation as the prime source of world textiles until its decline in the 1950s, when cheaper foreign import of cotton from India sounded the death knell for the region's pre-eminence.

In the 1970s, the concept of Greater Manchester was born - a still controversial grouping of 8 boroughs and 2 cities, which were subsumed into one large administrative connurbation, the Metropolitan County of Greater Manchester.
Manchester and Salford already existed as cities in their own right. Two other boroughs, Tameside and Trafford, were newly created (again, quite controversially) for the purpose, while other former County Boroughs like Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Wigan and Rochdale (in Lancashire) and Stockport (in Cheshire) lost their administrative independence to a large degree to the new Metropolitan County.
These Metropolitan Boroughs are connected by the Manchester Orbital Motorway, the M60, as well as the ever more extensive Metrolink Tram System and two major mainline railway stations. Internationally, Manchester connects to the rest of the world by a major Airport.
This fabricated county, paradoxically existing still in name but with less than intended powers and authority, still produces more than half of Britain's manufactured goods and consumables, though manufacturing continues its steady decline.
The Greater Manchester conurbation is a big place. While some 2½ million people live within its actual boundaries, over 7 million others live in the wider region, making it second only to London in Great Britain - Manchester still vies with Birmingham for the title of England Second City!
For 11 million people living within 50 miles of the City of Manchester, it is the place where they come to work, or to shop or to visit the many attractions and entertainments which only a large dynamic city such as this could hope to offer.

Pain Warriors Video Documentary
Locations to Watch
What is a PAIN WARRIOR?
People in the poster
After Filming
A Visionary Media Inc. Film By Producers Tina Petrova & Director Eugene Weis eloquently weaves together heart - breaking stories of an all but invisible demographic: those who struggle to stay alive daily, amidst life long chronic pain & chronic illness.
To summarize the documentary Pain Warriors: The Other Side of the Opiod Crisis.
Largely invisible, sunned and disbelieved, Pain Warriors enters into the desperate lives of pain patents fighting for their very survival; families [such as mine] torn apart by suicide and the troubled worlds of compassionate doctors who stand up for them, even at the cost of incarceration.
The late Karen Paddock, that hosts this site, is one of the five stories. This is NOT a warm & fuzzy movie to watch. See the Testimonials below as to why.
Watch Pain Warriors at one of the following locations. Note that Pain Warriors is NOT a warm and fuzzy movie to watch!:
Amazon Prime for *Free* if you have Prime
Amazon DVD
Amazon Blu-ray
TubiTV for free via ads, oddly a photo of Karen is the very first thing you see when you click on the link.
iTunes The trailer here starts with Karen writing the book, Karen's Journal, that she did not know she was writing.
Watch Pain Warriors from anywhere in the world, via Vimeo On Demand
Short trailer on YouTube
Note that Pain Warriors can also be 'rented' from YouTube. They make it impossible to supply a direct link to it. They also give a warning about “Inappropriate Content” without explanation. It is because of the suicides discussed.
Note that the cost may vary with your location and which of the above sources you choose. The distributor Gravitas Ventures sets the price, we have no control over it.
After watching please write a review for us on Internet Movie Database (IMDb), to lift our ratings, or ask friends who have viewed the film to do so. That link also shows the current reviews.
The reviews left on Internet Movie Database (IMDb) are the ones that count toward our goal of getting Pain Warriors on to Netflix to reach a far wider audience.
We have signed Pain Warriors to Gravitas Ventures distribution to help us to get it to wide audience, and positive reviews will help us get Pain Warriors on Netflix and/or PBS etc.
A Pain Warrior is someone : child, mother , father, brother sister, friend- who plods on day in and day out, in chronic illness or chronic pain, with no hope of lasting relief or a cure in sight. Living in intractable pain is not for sissies. Intractable pain is usually life long.
Those of us who wake up each day and go to sleep in pain, are like an elite group of Navy Seals; we battle the demon of pain with all our strength , gather our courage to not give up, minute to minute -even though many of us just want to lay down and surrender the battle.
Other than a few loved ones beside us, no one really knows what we go through and no one really cares… least of all society at large. We are invisible …we are shunned… we are misunderstood.
Making this film is the FIRST STEP in ADVOCATING FOR OUR DEMOGRAPHIC in a highly VISIBLE and AUDIBLE way.
Our new feature film that will expose the underbelly of the BEAST OF PAIN .
We are PAIN WARRIORS.
These testimonials are from the few people that took me up on the offer to watch the new documentary Pain Warriors, of which Karen's story is a part, before its public release. I'm hoping Pain Warriors will raise awareness of the issues of Chronic Pain, CSF Leaks and is worthy of all whom suffer…
I am off from the first weekend of my show season and made the time to watch this. Wow, just wow! I have spent my whole life talking to people who have either physical or emotional pain. I know that if you just scratch the surface of someone who has a seemingly normal life, you will find a different story just waiting to be told. I didn't know it was soooo pervasive!
The idea that it is 100M Americans living with chronic pain is mind-boggling. The fact that each one of those touches at least a few other lives implies that the whole nation is dramatically impacted by chronic pain. I'm assuming that number represents physical pain and doesn't even touch the ones with issues like anxiety and depression…. which in my observation is pretty consuming these days as well….
I must admit, I cried numerous times during this video. The most during your segments, because I feel like I know a small part of you and what you have gone through….
Of course, all the stories are sad and tragic and American life and the medical community has let so many down…. is there a point of return?
Thank you for sharing this early with me. I hope of people see it after the festival seasons and awareness is raised. And maybe, just maybe, some doctors will examine their practices. And maybe, just maybe, families will stop avoiding “the one” who always looks well, but is always having a health struggle and labeling it all in their minds….
I just watched the documentary. It’s powerful, and brought me to tears several times, not only you telling of Karen’s suicide but the boy and his sister, Hunter and Willow. It’s humbling, what people get through, or don’t get through.
As an asthmatic, I have had a lifetime of a repetitive – but far from continuous, and not always particularly painful – condition. I do know how even the sheer persistence of the condition can wear you down; not just the condition but the persistence of the condition, making normal life difficult or impossible.
People who haven’t experienced it, themselves or second-hand, really don’t know how to understand it. For people who take normal health for granted, it may require a great effort of the imagination. This film may help some of them make that effort. Let’s hope so.
Thanks for letting me see it.
I just watched the entire film and found it very moving, very effective, and well-done as far as my knowledge of films go. It was so engrossing, at times brought tears and I think really educated the average person like me who, had I not known your story earlier, would not have been anywhere near understanding this problem. I do have a relative who has spoken of chronic pain and probably didn’t give her enough full awareness as I would know from this film). Thank you so much for sharing it with me. I really think this should be part of a world premier festival. There wasn’t time to mention that your having shared your knowledge with medical people to help inform medical folks more and hope to keep informed of how that goes at…

"... I’d like to say that I had the pleasure of watching Pain Warriors, but I’d be lying. I was lucky enough to see the documentary film by Tina Petrova and Eugene Weis recently, but it certainly wasn’t a pleasant experience. I found this documentary terribly difficult watch. It is certainly not badly made or directed. It’s just a little too close to home for me.... " - - Review of Pain Warriors by a suffer of Chronic Pain in the UK.

This is the producer Tina Petrova explaining how this documentary got its start.
James Strecker Reviews the Arts interview with Tina Petrova.
Yes, people it is a real movie, and real movies have tee shirts:
Buy Female Tee Shirt here, Buy Male Tee Shirt here.
Buy a Tee Shirt to show your support of those with Chronic Pain. The funds are going toward paying of the debts from the production of the documentary.
Long after filming was completed Dr Mark Ibsen wrote the following. I have slightly edited it to keep it Family Friendly, at least as far as the discussions of violent suicides can go.
“I used to think this was evidence of a personality disorder, and that the way to handle patients who were 'suicidal' was to avoid giving them the medications they were 'seeking' so they could not kill themselves.
Then Bob Mason shot himself. John Burke drank himself to death. So did Jennifer Beausoleil.
Lynette Chadwick died. I had heard it was an opiate OD, just recently her son came to tell me it was an Amitriptyline overdose.
Then jennifer Adams shot herself, right after Dr Tennant was taken out. And then Chris Storseth blew his brains out after I retired from prescribing, (and referred him to Multiple other doctors who refused to treat his pain), blaming me.
Lynnette, Chris and Jennifer B were three of the nine patients the Board of Medicine accused me of overprescribing to.
All 6 died from UNDER prescribing.
Could there be any MORE evidence of the folly of these crazy policies?
Did they die in vain? Alone, in agony, isolated and miserable.
Hippocrates says this is nuts- to start people on procedures, then palliative care for years, then abandon them and millions of other refugees, for what? (There is ZERO evidence that these policies have prevented any harm, and I just gave you the evidence of the harm they caused) Talk about your “Quid Pro Quos”.
What a weird world we find ourselves in. Especially those of us healers who have helped hundreds of thousands of patients live better more productive lives.
Do No Harm”

Measles outbreak in Quebec grows, tally now 119
The measles outbreak in Quebec’s Lanaudière region has grown to 119 cases since the first cases were reported in early February, according to the Public Health Department (PHD) of the Agency Health and Social Services Lanaudière today (computer translated).
Quebec map/EOZyo
A student who attends the École intégrée de Saint-Pierre was one of the cases. This has put some 700 students and staff members at risk for contracting measles. Health officials expect the number of confirmed cases to increase due to the potential for infection during this time frame.
The school and the Center for Health and Social Services of Northern Lanaudière (CSSSNL) are working together to prevent and control cases of measles at the school.
The first measles cases were reported to the Public Health Department, February 10, 2015 and the individuals were exposed to the virus at Disneyland. The investigation of the first case and other cases allowed public health to identify more contacts.
Public health officials said Wednesday that all of the 119 cases are related. It is important to mention that all these people were not vaccinated and from large families. They have almost all developed disease thereafter.
Measles is a highly infectious illness that primarily affects the respiratory tract. It can be a severe disease complicated by pneumonia.
The illness is usually non-specific in the first two to four days and includes fever followed by conjunctivitis, a runny nose and cough.
A characteristic red blotchy rash appears two to seven days after the first onset of symptoms and begins on the face and upper neck, becomes generalized and lasts for four to seven days.
Quebec Public Health says the measles vaccine can be obtained for free at the CSSS in its region or doctor vaccinator.

To iPad or not to iPad (or, why FOSS Activists are poor spokespeople)
April 4th, 2010 by scaredpoet
Those of you who have been following my site for a while know that I’ve had a bit of a transformation occur over the past three years in terms of my opinion of Apple products. When the iPhone was first announced in January of 2007, I pretty much vowed that I would never get such a piece of junk. I even re-christened it, in childish anti-fanboy fashion. Everyone from site viewers to my own girlfriend heard my endless rantings about how this was going to be a totaly flop and why my Windows Mobile device was just fine enough for me, kthnx.
Well, that lasted all of a month after the iPhone actually hit stores. And ever since then, I’ve paid penance for my misdeed buy buying the newest and coolest iPhone every time Steve Jobs decides to tweak the damned thing.
So, it would stand to reason that when the iPad came out, I would be a little more cautious. And in fact, I was. Although I was once again highly skeptical of the iPad, I said nothing on here, and pretty much kept my poker face on until I could get my hands on one. Sure enough, i fell under Apple’s spell again. Almost.
I haven’t bought one yet. But I’d say I’m on the fence about whether I should get one for a very important reason: my Macbook Pro was recently stolen, leaving me (at least temporarily) laptopless. And now I’m stuck in a dilemna: should I blow a ton of cash, load up the credit card and buy one the new MacBook Pros when they next get a refresh? Or, will an iPad give me just enough (at considerably less cost) when I’m mobile to keep me going until I’m back at home doing serious computing on my desktop?
One thing is for sure: I am not happy with some of the editorializing people are doing about this product. To whit: this Freetard on Boinboing who is telling people not only why he isn’t getting an iPad, but why you should be a responsible consumer and not get one too.
I believe—really believe—in the stirring words of the Maker Manifesto: if you can’t open it, you don’t own it. Screws not glue. The original Apple ][+ came with schematics for the circuit boards, and birthed a generation of hardware and software hackers who upended the world for the better. If you wanted your kid to grow up to be a confident, entrepreneurial, and firmly in the camp that believes that you should forever be rearranging the world to make it better, you bought her an Apple ][+.
But with the iPad, it seems like Apple’s model customer is that same stupid stereotype of a technophobic, timid, scatterbrained mother as appears in a billion renditions of “that’s too complicated for my mom” (listen to the pundits extol the virtues of the iPad and time how long it takes for them to explain that here, finally, is something that isn’t too complicated for their poor old mothers).
This is where Free Software advocates annoy me, and where they fail in the message every time. It’s understandable that they have strong opinions and fervently embrace their ideas to the point where it’s a religion. But calling the people you’re trying to appeal to a bunch of scatterbrained, mindless sheep is not the way to win them over.
I love free software. When I’m not on my mac, I’m using Linux (specifically, ubuntu, which I highly recommend). But I also understand that not every single thing that I buy, or that works well for that matter, is going to be completely open and tweakable. Sometimes the best stuff is designed and built by people, and even business, who intend to make money, and doing that requires at least a partial closing of their architecture to users’ prying eyes.
Some people refuse to buy such products. More power to them! I wish them luck endlessly updating their configuration files and recompiling their linux kernel for the umpteenth time. I on the other, sometimes prefer to use products that allow me to do actual work. And it would appear that Apple’s products, closed as they may be, permit me to do that with a minimum of fuss. I challenged the free software community to permit people like me to always be able to do the same on their platforms. After decades of development, they just aren’t there yet,

Sebastian Aho, Jordan Staal and piecing together the optimal puzzle
by Matt Karash | Oct 11, 2017 | Daily Cup of Joe
Important to note is that two games into the 2017-18 season is too early to start cementing down any decisions for the entire season. That said, much of my basis for my thoughts on this topic do consider Jordan Staal’s track record that dates back multiple years now and also a full season with the Hurricanes for Sebastian Aho.
History and skill sets
Jordan Staal’s foundation as an NHLer was developed playing as a shutdown line center on a third line behind Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin on a Cup-winning team in Pittsburgh. It is not Staal cannot score. It is just that the areas of his game that is elite are the defensive part and also his incredible ability to start in the defensive zone, win the puck and often single-handedly move it from the defensive zone to the offensive zone. Staal does those things at an elite level, whereas scoring-wise he is probably at best an average top 9 forward. To be clear, Staal is certainly a valuable part of a winning Hurricanes team in 2017-18 and beyond. But his skill set that leans defense does have implications in terms of who he fits with line combination-wise and how he can be best utilized.
Sebastian Aho’s history as an NHLer is shorter at only one season, but there is enough there to get a reasonably strong understanding of Aho’s skill set. At his core, he oozes offense. He finished with a solid 24 goals in 2016-17 despite a slow start in that department, and his 49 points while not eye-popping were easily respectable especially on a team that was below average scoring-wise. From watching Aho play a full season, he clearly has the ability to produce offensively by passing or shooting like virtually all elite scorers do, but I actually think he leans slightly in the playmaker department over finisher. More on it below, but I actually think his goal scoring trumping assists in 2016-17 was at least partially a function of his line mates.
Ideal role, slot and complementary line mates
Jordan Staal is ideally suited to play in a shutdown role that stymies the opponents’ best scoring line when the Hurricanes are at home and still takes as many of those minutes as possible on the road. Given that it is impossible to completely shut down elite NHL scorers, it is critical that a checking line built around Staal have at least some ability to counter punch with their own scoring. But the line’s strength is likely to be creating a low scoring situation across the board and breaking even in the process. What’s more is that Staal seems to have the ability to drive such a line successfully regardless, within reason, or who his line mates are. His strong run flanked by Joakim Nordstrom and Andrej Nestrasil is proof of that.
Sebastian Aho is ideally suited to be part of a pure scoring line that has a good combination of physical finishing ability and hockey smarts. My plan A enter the summer was that he would be a great complement for a higher-end offensive center like Matt Duchene, Alex Galchenyuk or similar. But with no such center added and the other elite offensive talent on the team in Jeff Skinner being more of an entity in and of himself, the Hurricanes entered training camp not really having the personnel to build a high octane scoring line that included Sebastian Aho.
The rationale for putting Staal and Aho together?
With a lineup that is light on elite scoring but becoming better in terms of scoring balance at least nine forwards deep, I can see the merit in playing Aho on Staal’s wing and with Lindholm on the other side. With neither Staal nor Lindholm being an offensive catalyst, I think the rationale is that Aho can provide playmaking that helps boost the scoring totals for Staal and Lindholm. And with the need to score enough goals without a bunch of high-end players, getting Staal and Lindholm going was important to make balanced scoring work. So in taking his first shot at the forward lines with Aho/Staal/Lindholm, I think Peters was hoping that Aho could boost Staal’s scoring and do the same for Lindholm with a wild card that he could still have untapped offensive potential. In addition, Staal’s ability to drive the puck into the offensive zone gives Aho the chance to spend more of his ice time where goals happen.
How does it look so far?
I give Staal’s line mixed reviews so far. The line is doing a decent job with its bread and butter pushing play into the offensive zone and also winning the possession and shot battles. And Aho has two assists in two game to go with a couple cerebral playmaking efforts that are highlight reel-worthy.
The downside for me is that the more I watch Aho with Staal and Lindholm the more convinced I become that Aho’s playmaking ability is being underutilized. In Saturday’s 5-4 shootout win over the Minnesota Wild, I noted at least two passes where Aho fed Staal in front of the net for good scoring chances, and I also noted a couple decent Lindholm scoring chances created by Aho passes off the rush. Exactly none of those chances have found the back of the net. Instead, Aho has assists on a Victor Rask goal on a partial line change and a pass to Noah Hanifin finishing off the rush.
For all of the skills that Staal does have, receiving and finishing just is not one of Staal’s strengths. I noticed in 2016-17 how often Staal was slightly off and/or just unable to finish quickly when receiving passes in prime scoring chances, especially off the rush.
Aho’s incredible rush up the ice with about two minutes to go in the third period is a perfect example. Aho did the heavy lifting blowing through the Blue Jackets’ defense and then dishing to the front of the net. I think a pure finisher times the pass perfectly, receives it cleanly and has a reasonably decent chance of finishing from that close. In Staal’s case, he seemed a step slow stepping into the hole to receive the pass. The he was unable to do much more than shovel the puck toward the net.
Should Coach Bill Peters change the lines immediately?
I am torn on this question. Since the Hurricanes do not have a pure playmaking center who would fit well with Aho. As such, maybe trying to add offense to a line with two good players who are likely to play in the offensive zone a lot is the best utilization for Aho until the team adds more offense.
I think Peters’initial line of reasoning could stick as part of a balanced lineup. But at the point when the Hurricanes start having trouble scoring all bets are off. Peters is likely to do some line tinkering anyway, but I think the magnitude grows if the team starts slow offensively.
The shorter version is that I am okay with patience especially give the lack of options available to build a raw scoring line.
What might work better?
In an ideal world, I think Aho needs two things. First is that he needs to have help gaining possession of the puck and keeping it in the offensive zone. Staal and Lindholm actually grade well in this regard. Second is that Aho needs to have one or ideally two players who can finish. And that, I think, is where Staal and Lindholm come up short.
I really like the idea of pairing Aho with Victor Rask. I think Rask is an interesting case. He is a center but not at all the ‘puck on his stick’ playmaking variety. Rask seems equally comfortable playing with or without the puck. And on top of that, at least relatively speaking from a Hurricanes’ standpoint, think Rask’s finishing ability is at least on par with Staal’s. Finally, Rask has an element of headiness to his game that seemingly help him and Aho be on the same page. For right wing, I think Justin Williams could be an interesting trial. I would not call him a pure finisher, but Williams does have an element of that to his game. Williams’ well-rounded skill set is also strong defensively and in terms of driving puck possession. I would not be averse to trying Lindholm on the right side of an Aho/Rask combination.
Staal then ends up centering a 1B type line that is lighter on scoring but strong defensively. The question might be whether Peters can build a strong checking line around Staal without Aho.
Victor Rask as the wild card scorer?
After a sleepy second half of the 2016-17 season, one of the discussions heading into the 2017-18 season is whether Rask can re-find a higher gear. I really like the idea of Rask playing with Aho and also the potential for that duo to yield a significant scoring boost. With Rask already pushing up near 50 points in previous years and also having decent finishing ability, could Sebastian Aho be the catalyst that helps Rask take a giant leap forward offensively? I think it is possible.
A silver lining financially
Another side effect could be a favorable effect on future salary. Sebastian Aho has another full season on his current contract, but best guess is that he will be re-signed next summer. If he hits an injury setback and/or just makes only modest gains to say low 50s maybe for points, his next contract would likely price out at $4-6 million per year. If instead Aho finds chemistry and two scoring wings and finishes with 70 or 80 points, his salary could be more in a $7-9 million range annually.
What would I do?
As long as the Hurricanes are winning, I would continue to ride the current lineup, but as soon as an opening exists to tinker, I would give Aho a short run of games to play with Rask.
One wild prediction
If Aho and Rask get paired up, I do not think it is out of the question that Rask could surge to become the team’s second leading goal scorer only to Jeff Skinner.
What say you Canics?
1) What are your thoughts on Sebastian Aho and Jordan Staal both individually and together?
2) Do you feel like the Hurricanes have left goals on the table with regard to Aho’s playmaking ability during the first two games of the 2017-18 season?
3) What do you think are optimal lines for Jordan Staal and Sebastian Aho?

In Game 1, we scored four goals. Lindholm had two nice shots that were both saved, but even an elite finisher is only converting at a ~15% rate on those shots, so not scoring is actually the expected outcome for anyone; I’m pleased he fired shots immediately because some will go in.
Despite the fact that both teams like to play very fast, Game 2 was a defensive struggle for both teams. Panarin hit a post, otherwise neither team really had any Grade-A chances. If anything, Aho had our best chances and missed then both (a centering pass through the crease and the empty net in OT).
Combined, we’ve come away with 3 out of 4 points. We’ve gotten results, which is more important to me than style points. The sample size is too small. Every line has had been way better than unproductive so I wouldn’t change anything until we get back from this road trip.
raleightj on October 11, 2017 at 9:18 am
I didn’t realize that miss in OT was an open net. I was at the game sitting at the opposite end of the arena`didn’t see it clearly. There was a collective groan when the shot missed.
dmilleravid on October 11, 2017 at 10:24 am
Maybe open net is too strong a statement, but Bobrovsky had no chance if Aho had made decent contact – very unlucky break for us.
I really don’t know what Peters is looking for in constructing his lines. I have this feeling he is really gut-level in the game more than analytical.
There were two permutations of Staal’s line I liked in the preseason – and I even said on those lines Staal made his wings better. That was Teuvo-Staal-Williams and then Kuokkanen-Staal-Williams. There may be a slight drop in possession (maybe) and neither was a checking line, but they were puck-hogs with an offensive spark. Yet that line was only around early in the preseason.
You make an interesting point about Staal’s finishing when he gets a pass in front of the net. I would love to know more about his tendencies from an analytics perspective, but I have the feeling he scores more when he drives the net with the puck on his stick and/or in the middle of a scrum in front of the net.
I haven’t been impressed with the Ryan-Skinner duo and wonder if that may be because Kuokkanen is much more of a center than a wing and plays that way.
So I would look at a tp-9 like this:
Teuvo/Kuokkanen-Staal-Williams
Aho-Rask-Lindholm
Skinner-Ryan-Stempniak (when he returns – not sure who now)
But I am still trying to develop an understanding of the game at this depth.
I will say this about last night – Bobrovsky was a wall. You are typically not going to get more than 2 goals off him anyway. You have to make your chances when you have them – he doesn’t yield many good ones. And it was a close checking game for both sides; and that reduces the amount of chances.
Matt Karash on October 11, 2017 at 4:53 pm
To your comment on Staal’s finishing after receiving a pass in front of the net. Close your eyes and try to picture Jordan Staal receiving a pass from about face-off circles (in but far enough where you have to actually shoot to finish) when he has to receive puck and get it on and off his stick quickly either via one-timer or receive followed by quick wrister. Could be either off rush or staked out in front with pass coming from behind the net. For me it is not easy to do.
There is a different skill set for finishing around the net where it’s more about retrieving the puck and getting it on net and more of a pure sniper goal where there are two parts 1-receive; 2-finish. Again, I think Staal is a great hockey player and key part of a winning formula for the Hurricanes, but I think he rates below average to put it kindly in terms of sniper-like receive/shoot finishing ability.
On the one hand, Staal’s ability to get the puck into the offensive zone aids Aho’s point production. On the other hand, his finishing ability just does not. Whatever the norm is for scoring on receive/finish plays that are decent opportunities (let’s call it 12-15%), my imperfect math has Staal at half that which leaves a lot of goals on the table is Aho is the team’s best playmaker (which I think it true).
ctcaniac on October 11, 2017 at 11:32 am
dmiller and tj. You are both right on point. Through two games the team looks competitive. The way I see it is that D struggled in the first game. Appeared to improve. Darling looked better second game. So progress is being made. If PP figures it out, then the team will be really dangerous.
Aho was just slightly off last night. The pass from Pesce early on would likely have beaten Bob if Aho got his stick on it. That doesn’t concern me too much as Aho looks locked in most nights.
As for Staal, the analytics do indicate that controlled zone entries lead to goals much more than dump ins. One thing about Jordan is his power when he is carrying the puck. He seldom relies on dump and chase.
Two road victories will solve any early concerns.
fiftymissioncap on October 11, 2017 at 12:36 pm
You know what, maybe it is time to maximize the scoring potential of our two best offensive players but playing them together?
Skinner – Aho – Williams/Lindholm. This means the Aho at centre experiment begins NOW. This line is the closest thing the Canes have to an actual #1 line without going outside the organization.
Skinner – Aho – Williams
Kuokkanen – Staal – Lindholm
Terevainen – Rask – Ryan
That great 4th line.
I think the middle 6 lines are fairly mixable, and maybe instead of Williams on the first line Lindholm could be a good fit too. Either way, I think if scoring troubles plague the Canes this season and they are unwilling to trade assets for scoring help, then they have to try Aho and Skinner together to see if that combo can at least help you score a goal per game. Leaving them apart I don’t think they have enough help linemate wise to maximize their own offensive skills, and instead they are sacrificing their own production to potentially give a slight boost to secondary scorers. Skinner and Aho are not Crosby and Malkin, I don’t think it’s fair to put the pressure on them right now to ‘carry’ their own lines.
If I was some combination of Peters and Francis, I would give Aho a run of games with Victor Rask. Rask is not the player that Staal is in terms of puck possession and tilting the ice into the offensive zone, but he is actually cut somewhat from that cloth with two differences that could both be significant. First is that Rask is a bit of an odd center who is completely comfortable playing without the puck much. That is why he has always been serviceable or better with Skinner. And maybe even more importantly, I think one area where Rask is light years better than Staal is more receive/finish type scoring opportunities.
So I would:
1) Give Rask a decent run of games with at least some ice time with Aho.
2) Hope that Alex Galchenyuk (0 points in 4 games and now playing on Montreal’s 4th line) continues slumping. 🙂
dmilleravid on October 11, 2017 at 5:30 pm
1/ I agree about the finishing business with Staal. He’s far better working for greasy goals in scrambles, etc. in front of the net than accepting passes and one-timing them home. There’s a reason why he’s not on the PP and it’s not because he’s on the PK. So, this may work if the Aho/Staal combo can’t generate enough offense that leads to wins.
2/ That ship has sailed to the tune of $4.9-million/year. That’s a big price to pay for what would be a reclamation project (granted, with huge upside).
raleightj on October 11, 2017 at 9:53 pm
I don’t think we will see it immediately but it will be something we see in the future when Peters senses he is not getting everything he expects/wants/needs.

Oppose H.R. 5949, the FISA Amendments Act (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2012
Posted on September 11, 2012 by Lynne Bradley
*URGENT:* September 13th vote pending in the House on FISA (Foreign
Intelligence Surveillance Act)
*ACTIVISTS:* Use our legislative action
center<http://capwiz.com/ala/callalert/index.tt?alertid=61859476&PROCESS=Call+Now>to
send messages to House members opposing H.R. 5949, the FISA Amendments
Act (FAA) Reauthorization Act of 2012 or call your congressional
representative *now*!
*The message to all House members:* Oppose H.R. 5949 the FISA Amendments
Act Reauthorization Act of
2012<http://hdl.loc.gov/loc.uscongress/legislation.112hr5949>,
H.R. 5949. Protect Americans' privacy and constitutional rights. Do not
extend the FAA sunset until December 31, 2017.
ALA asks library supporters to ask the House to oppose this latest attempt
to reauthorize the FAA. Unexpectedly, a quick vote on H.R. 5949, is
scheduled for this Thursday, September 13th.
*BACKGROUND:* It's *déjà vu* all over again: *Watch what you say and do on
your phones, emails and other communications because, once again, the House
of Representatives appears ready to reauthorize the 2008 FAA law that
legalized the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program and
more.* The American public, including our library patrons, will continue to
be exposed to needless surveillance under this reauthorization.
The FISA Amendments Act Reauthorization Act of
H.R. 5949, (yes, this is the correct name of the bill and the law) would
extend the provisions of the 2008 FAA to December 31, 2017, rather than
letting the FISA sunset on December 31, 2012. The government is allowed to
get 12-month orders from the secret FISA court to conduct "dragnet
surveillance of Americans' international communications--including phone
calls, emails, and internet records--for the purpose of collecting foreign
intelligence." *****
As we did in 2008, the American Library Association (ALA) continues to
argue against the FISA Amendments Act because of the FAA's lack of
transparency and the potential for abuse of the system that has been
Rep. Jared Polis (D-CO) is taking leadership in the House to oppose H.R.
5949 and to bring some rationality to the necessary balance between our
constitutional rights and the needs of law enforcement. *Urge
representatives to follow Polis' lead and to vote against or amend H.R.
5949.*
If passed, the bill, at the very least, should be amended to include:
- Requirements that the government disclose more about the extent and
the nature of the surveillance that has been conducted under the FAA;
- Requirements for reporting about the number of U.S. citizens and
individuals affected;
- Amendments that prevent mass surveillance and prohibit use of
collected information for any other government uses beyond national
surveillance.
The current FAA law authorizes the government to conduct surveillance in
the United States on people that are reasonably considered to be "non-U.S.
persons". That also means the government can monitor communications between
U.S. citizens and these non-U.S. persons. This process is approved without
any meaningful judicial authorization and without probable cause. The FISA
Court only evaluates if the procedures used to conduct the surveillance are
designed to target those people that are reasonably believed to be outside
of the country. Information is now coming out from the government about the
impact on U.S. persons under this law.
Use our legislative action
representative now!

Puzzle over Arctic ‘breeding and dying ground’ for ancient animals from woolly mammoth era
Almost 1,300 bones of 13 species of mammals unearthed at new site on Gydan peninsula aged between 10,000 and 50,000 years old.
Many of the bones were adults: this is where the animals died. Picture: Pavel Kosintsev
Judging by the bones, the animals came to this remote Arctic site give birth - and also to die.
This was a prehistoric maternity hospital and necropolis for mammals that included the extinct mammoth and cave lion, along with species of horse, musk ox, bison and reindeer.
Found here too were the bones of an ancient hare, a wolf, a polar fox, a brown bear, and rodents.
And not only mammals. There were many bird bones too.
Many of the bones were adults: this is where the animals died.
Yet expert Dr Pavel Kosintsev said that among the mammal remains were also found the bones of newborn animals.
So as well as dying here, this was a ‘breeding ground’ for a wide range of species.
The total bone count from the summer expedition was 1,418 pieces of which 1,281 definitely belonged to 13 species of mammals. Pictures: Pavel Kosintsev
The site - far from properly examined due to high water levels this summer - is seen as largest and ‘richest’ such bone collection in Arctic Eurasia and may turn out to be the largest in the world.
It also led scientists to other early conclusions.
For example, it showed how far north certain species ventured during this period.
'Territory of the cave lion and brown bear in the north of western Siberia between 10,000 and 50,000 years ago have spread above 71 degrees of northern latitude,’ said Dr Kosintsev.
The total bone count from the summer expedition was 1,418 pieces of which 1,281 definitely belonged to 13 species of mammals.
The remaining bones include so far unidentified mammal or bird remains.
Prior to this the largest collection of mammoth fauna in Russian Arctic was on the southern shore of Bolshoy Lyakhovsky island (Novosibirsk Islands).
Yet why would ancient animals come here to start and end their lives?
This still remains to be answered.
One theory maybe that here was a source of sustenance - perhaps a salt lick.
In 1999 were a discovery of 1,019 bones was made.
The Gydan expedition was held in August, funded by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the Yamalo-Nenets region.
Scientists plan to make radiocarbon dating of the bones.
It is also planned to study the rock samples to assess the possibilities of reconstruction of the natural environment in the era of mammoths and after their extinction.
Dr Kosintsev is senior researcher of the laboratory of paleoecology of the Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology, Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

Four men charged in connection with brutal assault on Texas State student
UPDATE 12:57 a.m. Saturday AUGUST 20:
Jenkins is alive and still recovering from his severe injuries, said San Marcos Police Department Commander Penny L. Dunn last week.
After almost two months of searching, San Marcos police say they found two men who severely beat a 22-year-old Texas State student at Hillside Ranch Apartments.
The male victim, Stephen Jenkins, sustained extensive facial injuries as a result of the assault. Emergency services personnel transported the victim to Brackenridge Hospital, where an initial medical evaluation revealed multiple facial fractures.
Police charged 23-year-old Jeffrey Werland and 20-year-old Joshua Hoelscher with aggravated assault with serious bodily injury. Both men are from Columbus and Werland is a Texas State student.
In connection with the same incident, police also charged 22-year-old Aaron Cable and 23-year-old Corey Peikert with giving false reports to a police officer. Cable and Peikert are also from Columbus, and Cable is a Texas State student.
Hoelscher and Werland are alleged to have been among five males who confronted the victim in the parking lot of Hillside Ranch, which is located at 1350 North LBJ Drive on April 8 at approximately 3:15 a.m. Jenkins and the five males allegedly exchanged harsh words, and one man allegedly punched Jenkins. The blow knocked Jenkins unconscious, and the men allegedly proceeded to kick him several times in the face and body. The five men allegedly then fled on foot.
San Marcos Police Department Commander Penny L. Dunn said the five men did not know Jenkins. Dunn said there is “no specific information” that indicates drug or alcohol intoxication was a factor in the crime. Dunn said Jenkins sustained severe facial fractures that required extensive reconstructive surgery. Dunn said police will not release what was said between the suspects and Jenkins, in order to protect the integrity of the criminal case.
(Assistant Editor’s note: The above has been revised to indicate the name of the victim, Stephen Jenkins.)

Nothing says bad ass like kicking an unconscious person in the face and then running away.
Katherine on 07/29/2011 at 9:27 pm said:
I wonder what this guy did to get beat up? He must have really upset someone. I believe there are two sides to every story. It appears we are only hearing one side. Where does this information come from? Are both parties interviewed and questioned about the situation? Seems to me there are a lot of missing pieces to this story, and it’s unfortunate that something like this is ran in the paper and only protects one side of the stories name??? Poor guys, their reps are ruined and we don’t even know what truly happened that night. From my life experience if you get beatup you played a part in that. What was this Jenkins part in the “crime”? We can’t place blame on others for the decisions that we make. I wonder what this Jenkins background looks like? Is this his first “rodeo”? Is he known for fighting or instigating fights? I wonder how many times he has gotten away with beating someone’s face and they never pressed charges???
The positive in the situation, it was a fist fight. No weapons involved and everyone’s alive.
Sorry I was mistaken that is his correct name.
Robin on 08/02/2011 at 7:02 pm said:
@ Katherine, did you actually read this article? Guess you didn’t see the words kicked in the face, so you’re believing it was a fist fight? Tell me what is a fair fight? I would say 1 on 1, not 2 on 1, kicking someone in the face when he’s unconscious, where eye sockets, nose, cheek bones and numerous others bones were shattered and had to have major reconstructive surgery. Then you talk about your life experience, you must be young, there are people who get beat up for no reason at all, it happens all the time. So if “Jenkins” died of a blood clot that went to his brain or had brain damage, would he have ruined these young mens reputation? We are all responsible for our actions. They ruined their own reputation.
Paige on 08/02/2011 at 10:04 pm said:
Seriously Katherine…5 guys against one? They don’t transport to Brackenridge unless the victim is being taken to the nearest county trauma center! Those guys sound like cowards kicking him in the face after he fell unconcious! Harsh words or not, does not give anyone the right to bash on someone to the point that they have multiple facial fractures requiring facial reconstructive surgery! You say rodeo? I say roundup and throw the frickin key away! Maybe, all of them have a reputaion. Do the math! TEXAS needs stronger laws to get these kind of crazies off the streets so they can’t do it again!
Katherine on 08/03/2011 at 10:59 am said:
In the article allegedly is written before each statement.
Represented as existing or as being as described but not so proved; supposed. al ·leg ed·ly ( -l j d-l ) adv. …
Robin you sure do know the medical report of this kid……hummmm…..that doesn’t appear to be in the article….aren’t medical records confidential????
Innocent until proven guilty.
You two sure are getting bent out of shape over my questions to the article. I’m questioning the articles integrity, don’t you know that the downfall of this country is our media? Nothing is private and most things you hear aren’t true.
I promise it’s okay for me to ask questions regarding the case, intelligent people ask questions and look for both sides of every story so they won’t look like an idiot in the end. We have to change our beliefs and behaviors to be able to grow and change in life.
And it only says that two guys are being charged with assault not five so…..I think I have done my math 🙂
Sorry, but this is how screwed up our media is….”reality tv stars” get into fights and hurt people and tv and media glamorize it. And we keep watching it and it gets the most views on YouTube so on and so forth. These are videoed documentary of crimes where we can see the truth with our own eyes and take sides. And since it’s proven one side usually has to fork over tons of money to keep it out of court an to get charges dropped.
You read an alleged story in “San Marcos” and you already have your mind made up of who was right and who was wrong.
Please open your minds just a little bit.
In the end only God can judge.
paige on 08/04/2011 at 8:44 am said:
The article stated five guys confronted one person? So, only two guys get arrested? Something is wrong with this picture! Read this sentence again, ” The blow knocked Jenkins unconscious, and the men allegedly proceeded to kick him several times in the face and body. The five men allegedly then fled on foot.”
If they fled from the scene…I wonder how they got caught? Sounds like there is more to this story!
You say innocent till proven guilty? Sounds to me like the others will prove they’re guilty!
I’m tired of seeing all these sick, vicious people in the news media get away with crimes!
You do the crime, you do the time!
Bill on 08/05/2011 at 9:39 am said:
Kcicking a guy in the face when he’s down is just wrong….period….
Adam on 08/08/2011 at 8:31 pm said:
Well what is the status of Jenkins? Is he still in critical care or is he in recovery?
Columbus on 08/10/2011 at 2:12 pm said:
Heard over the weekend that Jenkins passed away, is that true? I believe that assault was caught on camera. Also a couple of the young men from Columbus have been in trouble with the law before, not sure about Jenkins. So yes there is a lot more to this story, so please don’t judge either side. Really breaks my heart because I know some of these young men, now their life has be changed forever. I pray for all the young men and their families. May God give everyone the strength to get thru this horrible situation.

According to SMPD Commander Penny Dunn, Mr. Jenkins is alive and “still recovering from his severe injuries.”
Rob Roark on 09/30/2011 at 11:45 am said:
Katherine, I can appreciate your questioning the media story here. But, as someone who has been covering this for many months this year, let me give you a few more “insights” and thoughts.
This occurred in February / March in the parking lot of a multi-family apartment complex, just doors away from young children and grandparents, in a fairly nice apartment complex, in a “good” part of town. No one wanted to come forward and speak up. The city and county put out a “crime-stoppers” alert when they were unable to get any witness to come forward, and they did not have enough evidence to make any arrests. The apartment complex did not want to scare anyone, or get involved, so a local group of citizens distributed copies of the “crime-stoppers” alert and talked with the neighbors, asking them to go to the police with any information. All that we talked to were very shocked and concerned. The father spoke out publicly asking for information, and I interviewed him on We The People.
We do not know why the break finally came in June, but someone finally “talked” (false statements). Since those charges have not been pursued, I can conjecture that one of the group is getting immunity to speak against the others in the group / gang. The trial is in two months, so then we will know more.
The young man is recovering, and those accused of the violence are back at the University taking classes.
Now, I hope that you are not so jaded and conditioned to violence that kicking a person down on the ground, in the face, can be justified. And you are worried about their “reps” when they could not give correct information to the police? If your life experience says that a poerson who gets beat up “played a part in it”, there is some serious therapy needed in your future. Does that apply to domestic violence between a man and a women, or just to a gang of five men against one young man?
I hope you are never in this situation in our community. I hope you do not become a victim, and have to read someone in an online blog question wether you did something to “deserve it”. Look over at these young men from Columbus, if you go to the University, and ask if this is how they handle things there. maybe they will tell you their side of the story, to protect their “reps” and can share it here. Sorry, but personally, I could care less about their “reps”. Have them come forward with their side of the story. They had months to do it. I just look forward to seeing them look this young man with a permanently scarred face look them in the eye as they are charged with felony aggravated assault. We in San Marcos should be fair, but definitely intolerant of this kind of public behavior.

Stephen is alive and after several face surgeries doing well. NO thanks to the legal system…… Just got off the phone with his mom. Katherien, go to H*&^. He was hit blind sided, and beat by 4 guys. Only 2 have been arrested due to the others giving info and opting out on deals. All because they did’nt like the lime green shirt he was wearing.
Stephen now has a very wonderful girl friend and has continued back to college.

New Technology Could Transform Solar Energy Storage
June 19, 2015 | UCLA Newsroom

Reading time ( words)
The materials in most of today’s residential rooftop solar panels can store energy from the sun for only a few microseconds at a time. A new technology developed by chemists at UCLA is capable of storing solar energy for up to several weeks — an advance that could change the way scientists think about designing solar cells.
The findings are published June 19 in the journal Science.
The new design is inspired by the way that plants generate energy through photosynthesis.
“Biology does a very good job of creating energy from sunlight,” said Sarah Tolbert, a UCLA professor of chemistry and one of the senior authors of the research. “Plants do this through photosynthesis with extremely high efficiency.”
“In photosynthesis, plants that are exposed to sunlight use carefully organized nanoscale structures within their cells to rapidly separate charges — pulling electrons away from the positively charged molecule that is left behind, and keeping positive and negative charges separated,” Tolbert said. “That separation is the key to making the process so efficient.”
To capture energy from sunlight, conventional rooftop solar cells use silicon, a fairly expensive material. There is currently a big push to make lower-cost solar cells using plastics, rather than silicon, but today’s plastic solar cells are relatively inefficient, in large part because the separated positive and negative electric charges often recombine before they can become electrical energy.
“Modern plastic solar cells don’t have well-defined structures like plants do because we never knew how to make them before,” Tolbert said. “But this new system pulls charges apart and keeps them separated for days, or even weeks. Once you make the right structure, you can vastly improve the retention of energy.”
The two components that make the UCLA-developed system work are a polymer donor and a nano-scale fullerene acceptor. The polymer donor absorbs sunlight and passes electrons to the fullerene acceptor; the process generates electrical energy.
The plastic materials, called organic photovoltaics, are typically organized like a plate of cooked pasta — a disorganized mass of long, skinny polymer “spaghetti” with random fullerene “meatballs.” But this arrangement makes it difficult to get current out of the cell because the electrons sometimes hop back to the polymer spaghetti and are lost.
The UCLA technology arranges the elements more neatly — like small bundles of uncooked spaghetti with precisely placed meatballs. Some fullerene meatballs are designed to sit inside the spaghetti bundles, but others are forced to stay on the outside. The fullerenes inside the structure take electrons from the polymers and toss them to the outside fullerene, which can effectively keep the electrons away from the polymer for weeks.
“When the charges never come back together, the system works far better,” said Benjamin Schwartz, a UCLA professor of chemistry and another senior co-author. “This is the first time this has been shown using modern synthetic organic photovoltaic materials.”
In the new system, the materials self-assemble just by being placed in close proximity.
“We worked really hard to design something so we don’t have to work very hard,” Tolbert said.
The new design is also more environmentally friendly than current technology, because the materials can assemble in water instead of more toxic organic solutions that are widely used today.
“Once you make the materials, you can dump them into water and they assemble into the appropriate structure because of the way the materials are designed,” Schwartz said. “So there’s no additional work.”
The researchers are already working on how to incorporate the technology into actual solar cells.
Yves Rubin, a UCLA professor of chemistry and another senior co-author of the study, led the team that created the uniquely designed molecules. “We don’t have these materials in a real device yet; this is all in solution,” he said. “When we can put them together and make a closed circuit, then we will really be somewhere.”
For now, though, the UCLA research has proven that inexpensive photovoltaic materials can be organized in a way that greatly improves their ability to retain energy from sunlight.
Tolbert and Schwartz also are members of UCLA’s California NanoSystems Institute. The study’s other co-lead authors were UCLA graduate students Rachel Huber and Amy Ferreira. UCLA’s Electron Imaging Center for NanoMachines imaged the assembled structure in a lab led by Hong Zhou.

U.S. Dept. of Labor Awards More Than $130M in Grants to Support Registered Apprenticeship Programs
By News Desk on June 24, 2021 12:49 am - No Comment
Washington, DC… The U.S. Department of Labor today announced the award of more than $130 million in grants to develop, modernize and diversify Registered Apprenticeship Programs in 15 states and to establish Registered Apprenticeship Technical Assistance Centers of Excellence in three states and Washington, D.C., to provide technical expertise and services and accelerate the expansion of Registered Apprenticeship programs.
The department’s Employment and Training Administration awarded more than $99 million in State Apprenticeship Expansion, Equity and Innovation grants – ranging from $2 million to $10 million – to bolster states’ efforts to expand programming and inclusive recruitment strategies to attract a diverse workforce. The awards include more than $85 million for states that demonstrated a commitment to increase their diversity, equity and inclusion efforts. These grants also aim to develop partnerships with new industries and non-traditional occupations, including industry sectors hardest hit by the pandemic, and align Registered Apprenticeships with other work-based learning opportunities within state education and workforce systems,
“Today’s announcement reflects the Department of Labor’s renewed commitment to expanding Registered Apprenticeship to train U.S. workers and ensure that diversity and inclusion are core elements of our nation’s post-pandemic economic recovery,” said Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh. “Using Registered Apprenticeships to expand career opportunities for all workers, especially those in under-represented populations, is a priority for the department and a critical component of the Biden-Harris administration’s American Jobs Plan.”
To facilitate expansion of Registered Apprenticeship programs, the department also awarded nearly $31 million through cooperative agreements to establish four Registered Apprenticeship Technical Assistance Centers of Excellence to provide technical assistance to apprenticeship programs and their enrolled trainees. Located in key areas, the RA-TA Centers of Excellence will seek to create successful and inclusive talent pipelines that meet the needs of today’s industries, workers and communities. Centers of Excellence will provide technical assistance to employers and industry to build out model-registered apprenticeship programs across a range of industries and jobs, including those in America’s critical supply chains. The centers will also work across public and private sector partners to expand opportunities in Registered Apprenticeship for women, youth, people of color, rural communities, justice-involved individuals and people with disabilities.
Learn more about the department’s efforts to connect career seekers with apprenticeship opportunities.

Heller House
Address: 5132 S. Woodlawn Ave.
Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright
Date Designated a Chicago Landmark: September 15, 1971
A significant turning point in the work of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright, this design helped introduce a new aesthetic that was to culminate in the now-famous Prairie School style. Here, Wright abandons the more picturesque and traditional styles of the day, substituting his own strongly geometric style along with the decorative richness of his mentor and former employer, Louis Sullivan. The decorative frieze was executed by sculptor Richard Bock. This building was designed for Isidore H. Heller, a meatpacker.

The effectiveness of the two-dose vaccination schedule of varicella is better than that of one dose, but the vaccination schedule and coverage of varicella varies based on provinces in the mainland of China and has differing effects.
Earlier vaccination of the first dose may reduce the varicella incidence, and improving the vaccination coverage rates of the second dose will further reduce the varicella incidence.
Taking the first dose of vaccination promptly at 12 months old and improving the coverage of second dose of vaccination may play an important role in varicella prevention and control in China.

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) is a highly contagious herpesvirus that can cause varicella (chickenpox) in children and herpes zoster (shingles) in adults, and most people would become infected by mid-adulthood in the absence of a varicella vaccination program (1). Epidemiological data on varicella is needed before the vaccine can be included into China’s Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI).
The timing of administering the vaccination is crucial for controlling the spread of varicella, but the mainland of China lacks a uniform schedule for these vaccinations. This study compared Beijing and Ningbo of Zhejiang Province to analyze the differences in varicella incidence when compared to different vaccination schedules for the first dose and different coverage of the second dose.
After 2007, Beijing and Ningbo have required the compulsory reporting of varicella incidence through the National Notifiable Diseases Reporting System (NNDRS) of the mainland of China. The epidemiological data from regions where compulsory reporting had been implemented provide some valuable information, and all the data in this paper is from the NNDRS (2007–2018).
Beijing and Ningbo are developed areas in the mainland of China. The immunization program and infectious disease surveillance of the two cities are well organized and their data on varicella is comparatively higher quality within China (2-4). A two dose immunization schedule is recommended in the two cities with little difference for the first dose. The first dose of vaccine was set to be administered at 18 months of age in Beijing starting in 2007 and 12–18 months in Ningbo starting from 2012. The second dose was set to be administered at 4 years of age in Beijing since 2012 and Ningbo since 2014. The varicella inoculation rate for the first dose is higher than the second dose and the inoculation rate for Beijing is higher than Ningbo. (Figure 1)
There is a noticeable difference in varicella incidence in age group 1 (12 to 24 months) in the two cities with the incidence in Beijing being much higher than that of Ningbo. In Beijing, the incidence in age group 1 initially increased and then declined slightly, but Ningbo had a relatively low incidence without significant changes. (Figure 2)
After the implementation of the two-dose schedule in Beijing from 2012, the total population incidence decreased significantly but increased slightly after 2016. Ningbo also showed decreases after introducing the second dose of vaccine in 2014 but had dramatic increases after 2016.
Further analysis of the incidence of the sub-age group 0 years old to 15 years old in Ningbo reveals a prominent increase for the age group of 9 years old to 10 years old (from 9 years old to 14 years old) after 2014 (Figure 2), and the peak incidence of Ningbo is backward from 4–8 years old in 2012, to 9–13 years old in 2018 (Figure 3).
Most population-based data on the epidemiology of varicella are from high-income countries, data from low-to-middle income countries are comparatively limited (1). The epidemiological data of Beijing and Ningbo in the mainland of China can provide some useful information for the preparation of vaccine immunization strategies in China. The epidemiological profiles of varicella in the two cities are different as are the immunization schedules, surveillance requirements, and immunization coverages.
This investigation reported a comparative study of the varicella vaccination in Beijing and Ningbo based on policies and coverage by year, and associating the policies and coverage levels with the incidence of varicella by age and by year. The research analyzed the possible reason of the higher varicella incidence of Beijing compared with that of Ningbo among age group 1 (12–24 months). The difference may not emerge from baseline data differences because the incidence in both cities is similar in age group 0 (0–12 months) (Figure 2). However, a likely reason is the difference in the time of administration of the first dose of the varicella vaccine. While the administration of the first dose is recommended at 12–18 months of age by the World Health Organization (WHO) (1), the time of the first dose in the mainland of China varies between regions. For instance, the time of vaccine administration in Beijing is set at 18 months, while Ningbo is set at 12–18 months. The first dose of vaccination being set at the age of 18 months may cause a susceptible population of children aged 12–18 months to miss an earlier immunization.
The total incidence of varicella under 15 decreased from 2012 in Beijing and slightly increased after 2016 (2) after the two dose schedule was introduced into the local program. Similarly, after the two-dose schedule was administered after 2014 in Ningbo, the incidence decreased and increased noticeably. This may be due to the coverage of the second dose being lower in both Beijing (39.79%–70.54%) and Ningbo (40.63%–54.01%). The coverage of second dose in both areas did not reach the 85% threshold that was recommended by the WHO to establish herd immunity (5). In addition, the issue of breakthrough infections exists in which a vaccinated individual becomes sick from the illness the vaccine was meant to prevent, and a high incidence of breakthrough cases has appeared in children aged 3–6 years old (6). Therefore, after a second dose of vaccine in 2012 for Beijing, there may have been some breakthrough cases after 2015.
By comparing the incidence of varicella in different age groups between Beijing and Ningbo (Figure 3), we can find that the incidence of almost every age group decreased dramatically from 2012 in Beijing. But for Ningbo, the age of peak incidence was changed from 4–8 years old in 2012 to 9–13 years old in 2018. This is likely due to the vaccine coverage in Ningbo being much lower than that of Beijing, which may cause many susceptible cases to accumulate. The WHO and many countries have suggested that the introduction of widespread childhood varicella vaccination would decrease exposure to VZV in the population and result in an older age distribution of the remaining cases. Since complication rates in adults are higher than those in children, an increase in the peak age of infections could lead to increases in the overall morbidity even though the total number of cases would be reduced. This should be carefully monitored in Ningbo after the two-dose schedule was introduced into the local vaccine program.
This surveillance data can inform policy recommendations. The study results recommend lowering the age of first-dose vaccination in Beijing, paying attention to the increasing age of infection in Ningbo, and improving coverage of the second dose of varicella vaccine in Ningbo.
This study is subject to some limitations. First, the data was passively collected from the NNDRS and may be subject to underreporting that may lower the reporting rate of varicella. Second, this study was limited in scope to Beijing and Ningbo, so the effects of the two-dose vaccination schedule for varicella may not be generalizable to other cities or to China as a whole.
In conclusion, this paper analyzes the varicella data reported from the NNRDS. The most valuable information can be shared by local CDCs when combined with more detailed information on local varicella vaccination rates and vaccination management. As the incidence of varicella has been controlled to a relatively low level, decreasing the time of the administration of the first dose of the vaccine to 12 months of age may further decrease the incidence of varicella. Improving the coverage of second dose especially for the age 6–14 is important to control varicella in China.

Suburban Dirt
Not that kind of dirt. Real dirt, like the stuff pansies (not real pansies) can't stand to get under their expensively-manicured fingernails. That kind of dirt. Or: a diary of Zone 6 gardening in an old-stylee Ohio 'burb.
« Moving right along. | Main | Got my roses last evening. »
Bleh -- supposed to freeze overnight
and snow two or three inches. It's the last week of April, it's been above 40 even at night for about two weeks -- everything's in almost full leaf/bloom. Hell, the daffodils and the muscaria are already bloomed out and the tulips are at full maturity! So naturally it's going down below 30 degrees tonight and a couple of inches of snow.
It's springtime in Ohio, none of it surprises me.
The only really odd thing, for that matter, is the sustained warm weather and above freezeing temps we've had since the second week of April. Funny (and I don't mean funny ha-ha) that the Bush Junta claims ecologists who say the climate actually is changing (probably at least in part attributable to humans' injudicious use of fossil fuels, changing the near-earth atmosphere) are wrong, but almost every web site I visited -- and I visited several different kinds of gardening sites, including one for a fruit orchard -- states as if it were accepted fact that spring arrives earlier now than it used to in many places, and the likelihood of loss from late frosts because of earlier spring is greater now than it used to be. The gardeners and orchard managers and farmers know this is true -- it stares hobby gardeners like me in the face every time we have to run out with sheets and trellises to try to protect already leafed-out plants from frosts that used to be seasonal on these dates -- but the BJ crew says that's fuzzy science.
It's fuzzy reality, apparently. Hell, like I think anybody in the big BJ up there in Washington has actually been arsed to garden any time in their pampered lives. I'm sure their families could afford to hire gardeners to handle all that inconvenient dirt anyway. Dirt is too real for folks like that, I'd wager. The Queen of England probably sees more of the weather than they do.
Anyhow, since the cold tonight likely will destroy all my tulips, I went out and cut several of them to bring in. They're really pretty -- deep maroon, almost purple. I think they were called 'black' tulips, and they're roughly the same color as the last ones I had that died when I tried to relocate them. These should be okay where they are, all of them, so I won't have to go through that crap again.
Anyway, I took some pictures of the tulips I cut, and I grabbed a couple of the blooms off the mockorange viburnum in the side yard just for kicks. We trimmed it back about a month ago, so there aren't as many blooms as there usually are by now -- but I'll sacrifice a few blooms to stave off the threats of the neighbor who hates anything that grows if it gets past the fence between our yards. I don't need to hear it.
And, of course, none of this would have been possible without the invaluable assistance of at least one of the staff:
That's Squeek. You can pretty much count on her to get right up your ass in the middle of anything you're doing that would better be done without her 'assistance.' Gord had been by earlier, but he'd determined that none of the flowers were food and bailed out. It isn't worth getting poked and shoved out of the way if it isn't for food, as far as he's concerned. Tink had helped me upstairs, while I was trimming them down to put in the vase -- like Gord, she was convinced they were food. Not knowing if tulips are poisonous to cats (most varieties of lilies and hyacinths, including the muscaria, are), I sprinkled water on her until she stopped trying to claw her way through my wrist to get at the leaves.
The dog, Max, and Doodle were, blessedly, absent from this project. It's not that they're any better or worse about it than the rest, it's just that the dog tends to want to get in my face when I have the camera, and Doodle trails a thin stream of chaos in her wake wherever she goes, whether she means to or not.
We've set up some 'hardware' to attempt to cover a couple of the plants outside for the night -- the new weeping pussy willow, which has finally leafed out this week, and the Atlas cedar, which has been looking more and more like it's recovering from whatever was bugging it over the winter -- there are green buds on most of the branches, and new needles growing. Figures we'd get a cold snap and some snow, I'm sure that's exactly what it needs (/sarcasm).
Feh -- at least my rosebushes and flowering almonds weren't scheduled to ship until Friday (yesterday). By the time they get here, it'll be sixty degrees again and hopefully I can get them in the ground next weekend.
This should be the last of the shitty weather for the year, so they ought to do okay once they go in. I don't know, though -- I've seen cold snaps exactly like this one as late as Mother's Day before. I put nothing past the weather in Ohio. It's about as realiable as one of Iacocca's little wonders from the late seventies. In fact, it reminds me very much of my '78 Plymouth Debacle, thanks very much.
