Earlier this morning, the Township of North Bergen revealed that the total amount of positive COVID-19 cases equaled 197.
How can I prevent myself from getting the virus?
To ensure the lowest chance of obtaining the virus, and spreading the virus to others, it is critical that everyone begin intensive social distancing immediately. As much as possible, limit contact with people outside your family.
Furthermore, it is recommended to do the following: avoid touching your nose, eyes, and mouth; keep your distance from people, especially those who look sick; wash your hands frequently especially before eating, after exiting a densely populated area, and after coughing and sneezing; and disinfect personal items regularly.
Can the COVID-19 virus be spread through food, including refrigerated or frozen food?
Coronaviruses are generally thought to be spread from person-to-person through respiratory droplets. Currently there is no evidence to support transmission of COVID-19 associated with food. Before preparing or eating food it is important to always wash your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds for general food safety. Throughout the day wash your hands after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing, or going to the bathroom.
It may be possible that a person can get COVID-19 by touching a surface or object that has the virus on it and then touching their own mouth, nose, or possibly their eyes, but this is not thought to be the main way the virus spreads.
In general, because of poor survivability of these coronaviruses on surfaces, there is likely very low risk of spread from food products or packaging that are shipped over a period of days or weeks at ambient, refrigerated, or frozen temperatures.
How many people will get sick with COVID-19?
National and international organizations are working on models to estimate the number of people who will get sick, but the situation is changing rapidly. It is possible that models will underestimate the number of sick individuals because those with mild symptoms will not seek medical attention, and researchers use different methods to attempt to account for that.
In February, scenarios from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention projected that between 160 million and 214 million people in the US could be infected over the course of the epidemic, and that as many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could ultimately die. And, the calculations based on the CDC’s scenarios suggested, 2.4 million to 21 million people in the US could require hospitalization, which would overburden our medical system.
However, the CDC’s projected numbers did not account for steps that are being taken to slow COVID-19 spread, which is why it is critical that everyone begin intensive social distancing immediately – as much as possible, limit contact with people outside your family.

The ‘Daily Impact’ interpretation reflects the impact of the Sun and Earth (70% of the neutrino influence) on what happens in the world as time moves us through the Gates and Lines of the Human Design wheel.
What is offered here is a general frame to the day, especially in terms of external conditioning and potential identification with the power of the Sun’s influence through a particular Gate theme. Also consider what is written about the grounding effect of the Gate in the Earth position of the day. Take note of the Line of the day and think about the quality of the Line and the Rave I Ching cryptic sentence. And, of course, pay attention to any Channels that may be formed on the day, as that Life Force will most certainly be relevant to whatever happens.
For those of you who are more familiar with the Gates and Channels, pay attention to the chart of the day which shows us the detail of the day’s imprint. Look for Gates that may join a ‘hanging’ Gate in your chart, notice the planetary accent it has and ponder upon its relevance to your day. Above all else, ‘The Daily Impact’ is a tool to assist subscribers to witness themselves living their life within ‘The Program’ and becoming more aware by observing the themes unfold.
Keynote: THE GATE OF THE DETERMINATION OF THE SELF
Bodygraph position: The G Centre
Quarter: The Quarter of Duality - Purpose fulfilled through Relating
Exalted: A practical approach to good fortune, that maintains the same patterns and attitudes that brought success and does not get sidetracked by indulging in further expectations. The determination to stay with what brings success.
Detriment: A tendency through projection to treat a potential future as the present, leading to unjustified egoism and the loss of momentum and support. The determination to treat a projected success as a reality.
* Here we see one of the ways we can ‘love our body’, treating our ‘temple’ to the natural pastime of walking; breathing in fresh air and strengthening our body through the experience of balanced exercise. It also depicts the ‘walker’ standing on a plateau, looking back to see where she’s come from, and gaining a new perspective on what is behind her.
With the frequency of the 46th Gate we have the theme of ‘love of the body and the flesh’. So we can expect to see and be involved in body-felt experiences that will build our character. It is a natural development to grow during our lives, not merely in size and height physically, but also psychologically and emotionally through the impact of whatever experiences our body goes through.
There is the potential for greater sensuality under this influence, so sharing our bodies with the right person, in the right place at the right time could be especially rewarding.
Being in the right place at the right time is a crucial key to learning the secrets of this influence. Once you accept that where you are is where you need to be for the time being, you can get down to getting on with living and immerse yourself totally in whatever expands your life. So we can expect a more existential attitude to permeate our lives during this time.
This influence is also about our relationships with others and sharing our experience with them. Our dedication to our experience and the dedication of others to their experiences, can result in a rich sharing that can expand the breadth and depth of how life can be lived for us and them. Also how we deal with the other and how they deal with us may be shared. With the emergence of Human Design knowledge, there has never been a better time to enrich our lives by consciously understanding who we are and who the other is in relationship to us.
We may also be contemplating the cycle of life through which we are living. Each decade has its own special flavour of experience; surrendering to the natural cycles and growing through each decade may be something that is shared during this transit. The movement through life may be seen as an upward spiral towards one plateau after another, and it is only when an experience is over that we can look back from the plateau of completion and really see what it has all been about.
There is, of course, the binary to be considered. Love of the body can also manifest as a disregard for the body, especially if we are pushing forward into experiences that are incorrect for us, chasing the carrot of misguided expectation and rushing headlong into crisis.
The 25th ‘Gate of the Spirit of the Self’ grounds the existential, experiential impact of the Sun. This carries with it a theme of innocence, something that may be maintained through any experience. It is also the ‘Gate of Blood’ and attracts shock from the 51st Gate, so aligned to the 46 this could be a time of deep healing of both body and spirit. It also brings a mystical theme to the inner journey into ourselves through initiatory experiences. On the mundane level as a Gate of Universal Love, we may also find ourselves appreciating the world around us and even perceiving the magic that exists in certain objects. This is a time to centre in on our own inner process, with others or alone.
If you have the 29th Gate in your chart then the themes of ‘The Channel of Discovery’ are relevant. With the journey of experience coming to you with this influence, the 29th Gate and its theme of commitment may influence you to commit to a new experience or to going deeply into the experiences you have already correctly committed to.
Here we meet the potential to succeed where others fail, or conversely, to fail where others succeed. The key in this transit is to apply your true Inner Authority to what you meet and, if you are correct in that, put yourself into the experience 100% and let go of any expectations of wherever it is you believe you may end up. Life is not predictable. We can’t know exactly what or whom we are going to meet along the way. We can’t know how we are going to respond until we do (as Generators). Life lived deeply and correctly is a journey of discovery that we grow through.
If you are not correct in following your response, then this transit could lead to committing to the wrong thing and it’s likely you’ll give it up the first chance you get. Do bear in mind, some sensual experiences lead to pregnancy and that leads you into a life that is not so easily dropped.
This is a mutative time where things may not go as planned. Flow with the chaos that may come with this day. Use your Strategy and Authority to navigate through what may be the meeting of the unexpected.
The 3rd Line carries with it the tendency to ‘bump’ into things or people. Now this could be perceived as negative or positive. Negative in terms of accidents or breakages or positive in terms of the sudden appearance of an old friend or perhaps finding yourself outside a store that has exactly what you want at a sale price.
The 3rd Line is also known as the Line of Trial and Error. So this can be a time when more inaccuracies or mistakes may manifest. It is a process of experiential learning. Sure, something may go wrong, but in learning why it went wrong new discoveries may be made.
The 3rd Line also has a material connotation to it. So this is also a time when money could be made... or lost. It is a time when the material demands of modern society may wear heavy on our heads or a time when we get to grips with the material necessities and deal with it.
There is also the possibility of experiencing shame in some way due to ‘mistakes’ that may be made. We need to be forgiving of ourselves, and others, today. After all it is the transit that is affecting us, and it is not as easy to live by one’s Strategy and Authority as is to understand it conceptually. Also see that ‘mistakes’ are essential for us to grow; by encountering limits we may not recognise in ourselves unless we experience them.
Bonds being made and broken is an important 3rd Line theme. The 3rd Line is adaptive and that entails breaking bonds that are obstructive, restricting or unpleasant. If you have a 3rd Line in your Profile, then it is important for you to break the bonds in order to expand your experience of life. On this day everyone will be conditioned to do so to some extent. Our Strategy and Authority will let us know if it’s correct or not. Be aware that the majority of the population don’t know they are being conditioned today by this theme, so watch it play out. Bonds that have been broken can be mended later on, in some cases.
Get to know the themes of the Lines as they come by as regular cycles throughout the weeks and months. As you track them, even occasionally, you will become more and more aware of the Program within which we live. Don’t let the conditioning of the day take you away from following your Strategy and Authority. Just look deeper into what is happening to you and around you.
Take this transit as an opportunity to see these themes occur within and around you. As you see them you will then have the opportunity to consider that you yourself may indeed be a pattern in a larger Program, as described by The Human Design System. If you can verify the truth of the transiting Gates in your life today, then I trust it will remind you to come back to following your Strategy and Authority - for that is the way to play the game. It is the way to wake up mechanically and experience what it is like to flow along in your life as yourself, without the resistance that comes from trying to live a conditioned life in a ‘Not-self’ world.
As we notice the daily impact upon our own Human Design imprint during the day, we naturally grow in our awareness of ourselves and the adventure of what it is to be alive in a world that is constantly conditioning us.
Those who are Reflectors can align to the daily transit, paying particular attention to the drive of the Moon. The rest of us, Manifestors, Generators and Projectors are here to resist the conditioning in terms of our decision-making and learn from it to increase our wisdom.
UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) is a time standard based on Earth's rotation. It is a modern continuation of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT), i.e., the mean solar time on the Prime Meridian at Greenwich, England. Check the time in your location against UT to calculate precisely when this transit will impact you. For instance, if you live in New York you will be 5 hours behind UT.
If you enjoy and are moved by Richard Beaumont’s style of interpretation, then you may also enjoy learning Human Design from his teachings. Some of these are available immediately on Film (with ‘live’ online meetings included).

This correlational quantitative study examined a five-year (2014-2019) trend to analyze whether there is a relationship between the level of state funding and the enrollment and graduation rates of students of color attending public institutions in Illinois. For the purposes of this study, the students of color include the following groups: African American, Latinx and Native American students. Previous studies have shown that divestment in state funds have cause shortages in staffing, experienced faculty, and support services for students attending public institutions. However, there is very little research on the direct relationship between state funding and the collegiate success of students of color versus their white peers. Historically, public institutions have heavily relied on state funding for their budgetary responsibilities. In the state of Illinois, state funding has significantly decreased for higher education. As a result of the funding gaps, there is a trickledown effect to students, creating larger tuition costs that impact affordability and accessibility to public education for students of color. This study used bivariate Pearson r coefficient correlational tests to evaluate the hypothesis that there is a significant relationship between the level of state funding to higher education in Illinois and the enrollment and graduation of students of color as well as scatterplot/graph to determine linear and nonlinear relationship between the variables over a five-year period of study.

The IRS does not exempt anyone from the requirement to file a tax return based on age, even if your child is declared as a dependent on your tax return.¹
Your dependent children must file a tax return when they earn above a certain amount of income.
Dependent children with earned income in 2020, in excess of $12,400 must file an income tax return. This threshold may change each year (in 2019 it was $12,200), so please reach out to us so we can assess your individual situation.²
Even if your child earns less than the threshold amount, filing a tax return may be worthwhile if he or she is eligible for a tax refund. The standard deduction for a child is different from that of an adult: It is the greater of $1,100 or earned income plus $350, with the maximum equal to the regular standard deduction (same as 2019).³
The rules change for unearned income, such as interest and dividend payments. When the annual total of unearned income exceeds $1,100, then a return must be filed for your child. If his or her unearned income only consists of interest and dividends, then you can elect to include it on your own return and combine it with your income, though it may result in higher income tax to you.
If you decide to prepare a separate return for your child, the same reduced standard deduction rules detailed above will apply.
Fill out the form below and we’ll get back with you about your individual situation.

News from the IAMCR Participatory Communication Research Section (PCR)
1/ PCR SECTION HEAD ELECTIONS - A MESSAGE FROM THE CURRENT CHAIR
May and June 2020 are election months for IAMCR. We will have elections for a new Executive Board and a new International Council, but also for the PCR Section Head (with two co-chairs and four co-vice-chairs to be (re-)elected). As you might know by now, I'm running for the position of IAMCR president, which implies that I cannot continue as the chair of the PCR Section. The IAMCR rules (rightfully) disallow this type of cumulation. This implies that I will not be a candidate for re-election as PCR Section chair. This was not an easy decision for me, as I loved working for & with the PCR Section, and I believe that we have accomplished a lot in the past four years. But there are new opportunities ahead of all of us. Moreover, the PCR Section official thought and felt that there is a need for more PCR Section officials, allowing the Section to grow further and to increase it activity level beyond what could be done now. That is why we have created three new positions: One new co-chair position, and two additional co-vice-chair positions.
My two colleagues in the PCR Head, Ana Duarte Melo and Jonas Agerbæk, currently both co-vice-chairs, wish to continue their work as PCR Section officials. Ana is a candidate for the position of PCR Section co-chair, and Jonas wishes to continue as co-vice-chair. We have also invited four other colleagues, who have already been active in the PCR Section, to stand for election. Our candidate for the second vice-chair position is Dorismilda Flores-Márquez, from the University of De La Salle Bajío, Mexico. Our three additional candidates for the positions of co-vice-chair are Ana Lúcia Nunes de Sousa, from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Arun John, from the University of Hyderabad, India; and Piyu Gong, from Jinan University, China. I very much want to endorse all six of them: Ana and Jonas of the 'old' team, and Dorismilda, Ana Lúcia, Arun and Piyu as new team members. I believe they will make a brilliant new PCR Section Head, that will do great things in the coming four years. At the same time, I welcome other candidates to compete in these elections for the 2 positions of co-chair, and for the four positions of co-vice-chair. The procedure on how to stand for election is explained here: https://iamcr.org/s-wg/pcr-elections2020
I wish all my colleagues the best of luck with the PCR Section, and I want to thank all of you for your support and for keeping participatory communication high on the academic agenda with great research.
2/ PCR REVIEW REPORT FOR IAMCR 2020
Given the developments associated with COVID-19, and the health and safety issues and constraints related to travel and conference activity, IAMCR and its partners at Tampere University decided to switch to an online conference for 2020. The two main types of activities of this IAMCR 2020 conference will be:
- The Online Conference Papers, where IAMCR members will present 1000 to 4000-word papers and get feedback on their work;
- The Online Sessions, which will consist of a series of high-quality pre-recorded sessions. Each participating IAMCR Section and Working Group will be responsible for one (1) Online Session. We will also have one virtual cinema session (called “Flow34”), coordinated by Nico Carpentier.
In total, the PCR Section received 112 abstract proposals, including 4 panel abstracts, (which grouped 17 individual presenters). We invited one keynote PCR section presenter. In total, we thus had 109 individual abstracts, 91 submitted as individual papers, one keynote abstract, and 17 submitted as part of a panel proposal.
Unfortunately, when applicants were asked to confirm their participation in the IAMCR online conference, 29 out of 109 withdrew (or did not confirm). As the abstract of our invited PCR keynote session presenter was not reviewed, we reviewed the work of 79 applicants. We used a double peer review system, with each submission reviewed by one Section official, and by one of our 20 external reviewers. Two other external reviewers had to cancel, and for these 9 abstracts, a different Section official did the second review.
From these 79 applicants, 41 individual applicants and 15 applicants in panel proposals were accepted to present their work in the Online Conference Papers. Five individual applicants were invited to present their work in the PCR Online Session. These five included our invited keynote presenter, and four applicants that were among those who received the highest review scores. This also means that, with regret, our PCR keynote session was cancelled and the keynote talk integrated in our PCR Online Session. Moreover, one individual abstract was accepted to Flow34, and we decided to move one abstract to another IAMCR Section, to be reviewed there. This implies that 17 submissions were not accepted upon review, which gives us an acceptance rate of 78% (61 out of 78, not including the one abstract that was moved for review in another Section).
We are welcoming all these 56 papers to the PCR Online Conference Papers, the one paper to Flow34 (our virtual cinema), and the five papers to the PCR Online Session, which will be entitled “Complicating Participation”:
In the meanwhile, all applicants to the PCR Section for the 2020 IAMCR conference have been informed of our decision. They are currently being briefed about the practicalities of their presentations, keeping in mind that the paper submission deadline is 19 June 2020.
As this report indicates, the shift to an online conference has generated a high level of complexity. We are very grateful to our colleagues in the IAMCR Executive Board, in the IAMCR Executive Secretariat and in the Tampere Local Organizing Committee, for their support. We also appreciate the patience and resilience of the applicants to the PCR Section. At the same time, we apologize for any inconvenience that this rather fluid situation may have caused, but we are also confident that we will have a great set of PCR presentations at the IAMCR 2020 conference.

Ibogaine is a naturally occurring psychoactive substance found in a variety of plant species in the Apocynaceae family, principally Tabernanthe iboga. It has demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of various substance use disorders (SUDs), particularly for detoxification for opioid used disorders and the reduction of the associated post acute withdrawal symptoms (PAWS) (Alper 1999, Brown 2013).
For this reason, ibogaine continues to generate a growing interest among medical professionals as well as the general public, especially those seeking alternatives to conventional modalities of treatment for SUDs.
This promise accompanies recognizable physical and psychological risks. Ibogaine has not yet been developed as a prescription medicine. However, some countries have explored or are exploring experimental prescription frameworks that make it available for use in detoxification. Other countries have implemented strict bans or restrictions against its use, largely without recognition of its potential medical benefit. In many other regions, ibogaine is used either under the auspices of “compassionate care,” or otherwise as an unapproved treatment.
It has been noted that the lack of standardized clinical practices in the experimental environments in which ibogaine therapy is generally practiced presents increased risks associated with its use (Alper 2007). The purpose of these guidelines is to consolidate existing knowledge gathered from thousands of treatments conducted since the early 1980s in a variety of medical and non-medical settings.
Most of the information presented in this document is supported by published research. Elsewhere, it is derived from a various clinical experiences, synthesized through extensive interviews with therapy providers.
It is our hope that the information presented herein will prove useful for medical professionals who wish to understand current clinical practices; in the development of protocols for clinical trials; and to policy makers who wish to review potential avenues for effective regulation of ibogaine-assisted detox as a prescription medicine. Finally, we hope that it will eventually lead to the development of comprehensive minimum standards of care in the future.
This methodology of risk management used in these guidelines is based on the International Standards Organization’s ISO31001: Enterprise Risk Management. This document uses a definition of risk outlined in ISO Guide 73, which calls it “the effect of uncertainty on objectives.” This effect has the potential to be positive or negative, but its effective management is crucial for ensuring positive outcomes.
Scope of this Document
This document was produced in an effort to identify the known risks associated with the use of ibogaine, and to present guidelines to manage its risks in a clinical setting. Although some other applications of iboga and ibogaine – as well as its metabolite noribogaine, and an ibogaine analog, 18-Methoxycoronaridine (18-MC) – are being explored, the scope of this document will refer specifically to the medical use of purified ibogaine hydrochloride as an aid in detoxification for opioid use disorders.
While this guide will focus on ibogaine’s ability to mitigate opiate withdrawal symptoms, it is practical to note that a significant number of patients with opioid use disorders are also polysubstance users and/or have other psychological or physical co-occurring disorders. Many of these issues are also discussed throughout this document.
A significant amount of further research is required in order to completely understand the nature of the ibogaine experience and its implications in the treatment of SUDs. This study will require comprehensive collaboration between various disciplines, including psychology, sociology, ethnopharmacology, philosophy, and comparative religion, amongst others. These guidelines do not function as a textbook or a manual, but the considerations outlined may be useful for medical professionals in the development of clinical protocols.
Context & Continuing Care
While the fields of psychiatry and allopathic medicine primarily focus on a biological foundation of SUDs, there are a complex bio-psycho-social phenomena affecting addiction that are crucial to consider in planning a complete recovery (Tatarsky 2007, Mate 2009, Alexander 2010).
Simply addressing a SUD with ibogaine can sometimes be enough to help a patient make desired changes in their lifestyle and drug use if and when they are ready and equipped for this change. But much more often further ongoing psychological support is necessary. There is evidence from observational research following ibogaine therapy that patients who were provided or sought out various forms of ibogaine aftercare and additional therapeutic support had improved rates in long-term sobriety from their primary substance of abuse (GITA 2014, Schenberg 2014).
Whenever possible, the detoxification guidelines outlined here should be considered as an elementary step in the larger SUD treatment process.
A Note About Traditional Use
The particularly narrow focus of these guidelines also takes into consideration that the ibogaine-containing plants – particularly the Tabernanthe iboga and Tabernanthe manii shrubs – have been used for millennia by traditional communities in Gabon and the surrounding regions of the West African rainforest as a sacrament in rituals of healing and spiritual initiation. In this context as well, adverse events and fatalities have been reported. In recent years these situations may be exacerbated by the fact that iboga is potentially threatened in its natural habitat, and other plants are sometimes used, whether mistakenly or intentionally, as substitutes, sometimes for economic advantage (GITA 2014). In other cases, these events have been attributed to unskilled practitioners.
It is hypothesized that aspects of the ritual and music employed by traditional communities are complexly arranged to both increase iboga’s effects (Mass 2006) as well as physical and psychological wellbeing (GITA 2014).
Use of iboga in these traditional contexts is protected by the 2007 United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, which states in Article 24 the right of indigenous people, “to their traditional medicines and to maintain their health practices, including the conservation of their vital medicinal plants, animals and mineral.”
These guidelines can serve as a supplement to genuine spiritual practice, but in general this is beyond the scope of the considerations for risk management presented here.
Summary of Psychological Factors
For it’s psychological effects, ibogaine is best classified as an oneirogen, a substance that produces waking dreams (Naranjo 1974). For many ibogaine patients these effects are visual, and this visionary content is deeply subjective and personal, unfolding much the same way as dreams. The experience has also been likened to watching a film projected on an inner screen – often with a level of emotional detachment, even when the content is very emotional or graphic. This overall effect can evoke a state of profound contemplation and self-reflection.
It has been suggested that the experience is analogous to the kind of neurological and psychological integration that happens during a state of rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, but while the patient is fully conscious (Goutarel 1993).
These effects are distinct from classic psychedelic compounds, both subjectively and also because of the complex nature of the physiological effects that accompany them.
Onset, Phases & Duration of Effects
The onset of ibogaine’s effects is generally noticeable within 1-3 hours after administration. This includes both a marked decrease in physiological withdrawal symptoms as well as the subjective effects, which are divided by Dr. Kenneth Alper into three distinct phases (Alper 2001). The duration of the effects mentioned below will vary based on dosage, the timeframe over which the doses are administered, and also factors that affect individual metabolism, including CYP450-2D6 phenotype.
This phase generally lasts between 4 to 8 hours, and include the most intense and visual part of the experience that was described above as oneirogenic. During this phase the physiological effects, especially the mentioned ataxia, will be most pronounced.
The “evaluative” phase of the experience can last between 8 to 20 hours, and consists largely of a cognitive and more or less emotionally neutral review of material that was experienced in the acute phase. Patients generally prefer to be left undisturbed, and to lie mostly still and quietly during this integration phase.
3. Residual Stimulation
The final stage of effects generally last for another 24 to 72 hours. This period is usually accompanied by some level of exhaustion, and in some cases continued difficulty sleeping. Cognitive and introspective processes begin to relax and attention returns to the outer environment.
Management of Psychological Risk Factors
Conventional academic theories in the fields of psychology and psychiatry do not generally discuss the types of experiences that are commonly reported by ibogaine patients. When they do they are categorized broadly as forms of psychosis. However, transpersonal psychology and other similar experiential fields have established clear frameworks for understanding the nature and therapeutic value of these and other similar states. Rather than pathological, the natures of these states have been described by Stanislav Grof as holotropic, or “oriented towards wholeness” (Grof 1992). This field draws from millennia of human experience in accessing these states of consciousness for healing and rites of passage, and provides invaluable insights for integrating these types of experiences into contemporary therapeutic contexts.
It has been noted elsewhere that research using psychedelic contains rare but significant psychological risks, mostly involving “overwhelming distress” caused by a “bad trip” and resulting in the patient leaving the treatment site, or, less commonly, the manifestation of long-term psychosis (Johnson 2008). Unlike many conventional medical treatments, under the influence of ibogaine or other similar substances, it is difficult to overemphasize the importance of the treatment environment and the relationship that is formed between the patient and the caregivers, especially those who are present during administration and the acute period of integration following.
There are rare anecdotal reports of patients who experienced an acute confusional state after ingesting ibogaine that persisted from less than one hour up to several days. There are other very rare reports of symptoms of prolonged psychosis (Houenou 2011, Dyer 2011), as well as others of individuals who were diagnosed with mania following ingestion (Marta 2015).
However, to the extent ibogaine shares similar psychological risks to other psychedelic medicines, the psychological frameworks and therapeutic tools used when administering psychedelic medicines may also prove useful guides for psychological safety. Grof wrote that, “LSD subjects whose sessions terminate in a state of incomplete rebirth show all the typical signs of mania,” but that, “when individuals experiencing this state can be convinced to turn inward, face the difficult emotions that remained unresolved, and complete the (re)birth process, the manic quality disappears from their mood and behavior.”
A comprehensive psychological assessment (Ch. 2) should precede any administration of ibogaine. Further, during and after treatment, sensitivity on behalf of the practitioners to the nature of the oneirogenic state and focused attention to the set and setting (Ch. 1) should be paramount at all times.
Working with Spiritual Emergence
One of the most important implications of transpersonal psychology is the understanding that many commonly diagnosed psychiatric conditions are forms of “spiritual emergency” or psychospiritual crisis that can lead to personal breakthroughs (“emergence”) if properly managed. Stanislav Grof lists addiction itself as a form of spiritual emergency, healing through which has the power to be incredibly transformative for an individual.
It is important to be able to differentiate between a genuine spiritual emergency that may possess cathartic healing potential, and forms of psychosis and genuine medical emergencies that require acute medical interventions.
Implementing this model of practice in the case of an acute confusion state can be time and energy intensive for therapy providers, but, when fully understood, the benefits for the patients are difficult to overlook. In all known cases, those who experienced an acute confusional state following ibogaine administration and were cared for throughout the entirety of this episode later reported that the process was personally important and ultimately beneficial.
The most important implication here is in the strategy in regards to the use of prescription medications. In the treatment of spiritual emergencies, clinicians should avoid use of psychiatric medications that may interrupt the psychological process underway. Anti-psychotic medications such as haldol or thorazine, which are used to interrupt the effects of other psychedelic substances have been known to cause prolonged negative reactions in patients. When necessary, and in instances where insomnia threatens physical and psychological wellbeing, the judicious use of benzodiazepines can slow subjective effects and help to facilitate relaxation and sleep.
Treatment of spiritual emergencies is a field too vast to summarize in these guidelines, and strays from our intended focus. However, there is a sufficient amount of existing material to inform clinicians on the foundations of this work (Grof 1989, 1993, 2008).
Summary of Medical Factors
While ibogaine’s mechanisms of action are not fully understood, some aspects of its complicated pharmacodynamics have been summarized in scientific literature (Alper 2001). Here we will review some of the relevant aspects of ibogaine’s effects and neurotransmitter activity, as well as documented risk factors. These types of considerations are not common amongst psychedelic medicines, highlighting the unique physiological characteristics of ibogaine and the importance of its particular requirements for screening and monitoring.
In addition to the psychological effects noted in the previous section, ibogaine presents some powerful physiological effects, including ataxia, tremor, nausea, vomiting, slowed breathing, heightened sensitivity to sensory stimuli, as well as bradycardia, hypotension and other changes to heart rhythms or blood pressure, including QT interval prolongation and t-wave morphology changes. As a result, unless necessary, patients generally prefer to be lying comfortably without a lot of agitation or movement.
Ibogaine’s physiological effects, particularly its cardiac effects, can present significant and potentially life threatening risk factors even within the therapeutic dose range in patients that have certain pre-existing heart conditions, electrolyte imbalance, or who are detoxifying from alcohol or benzodiazepines (Alper 2012).
The QT interval prolongation associated with ibogaine may have several causes. The primary factor is changes to the way that cardiac cells utilize potassium to repolarize their electrical charge. This repolarization reserve is also affected by bradycardia and the blockage of the hERG channel, which modulates the bioavailability of potassium. As addressed later, this presents concerns in patients who are hypo or hyperkolemic.
Other factors also play a role in depleting repolarization reserves and causing QT prolongation. These include low levels of magnesium; other QT prolonging medications, foods and supplements; withdrawal from cocaine, alcohol, or amphetamines; and many of the risk factors outlined in Chapter 2.
In many cases, during the acute period of ibogaine metabolism, bizarre t-wave morphology may be noted. These changes may include flattening of the t-wave, biphasic t-waves, and initial decrease in the anterior slope of the t-wave. These changes have been postulated to be attributed to changes in intercellular potassium exchange caused by blockage of the hERG channel (Thurner 2013, Alper 2015).
Ibogaine is metabolized via liver enzyme CYP450-2D6 into its primary metabolite, noribogaine. There may be clinically significant variability in the initial phases of ibogaine’s effects based on a patients CYP2D6 metabolism phenotype, particularly at the extreme ends of the spectrum for poor and ultra-rapid metabolizers (Glue 2015).
Ibogaine is also known to cause a level of restlessness and sleeplessness in the days following administration in some cases. This is especially the case for patients who use benzodiazepines or other sleep inducing medications.
Seizures under the influence of ibogaine can induce lethal arrhythmias, and have led to fatalities as well as permanent injury. Ibogaine itself has not been known to induce seizures, however, this is a concern in regards to withdrawals from alcohol or benzodiazepines, as well as for epileptics.
Ibogaine saturation peaks at 2 hours after administration and has a half-life of up to 7 hours in human plasma (Koenig 2015). It is metabolized into noribogaine, which, it is believed, is stored in fat tissue and released over the course of the following weeks or months. Noribogaine possesses some of the same effects as ibogaine, which may account for the prolonged reported benefits.
In those patients who experience t-wave changes they generally last between 12-14 hours, but can persist for as long as 24 hours. Cardiac concerns decrease after t-wave stabilizes.
Some adverse events have been reported as late as 76 hours after administration (Alper 2012), however the factors in these instances generally can be addressed with proper screening and preparation.
In animal models, ibogaine has demonstrated action at various neurotransmitter sites, including the glutamate, opioid, dopamine, serotonin, and acetylcholine systems (Popik 1999). Its effects may be the result of a complex interaction between these systems, rather than the result of an effect on a single neurotransmitter system (Alper 2001).
The accumulation of these effects has been shown to mitigate withdrawal symptoms from opioids. Some suggest this to be up to 90% effective based on subjective reports. Ibogaine has also been shown to reduce the accumulated tolerance to opioids, and to increase the central nervous systems sensitivity to opioids (Parker 2001), which has implications in the case of relapse post-treatment. Patients need to be made acutely aware that their tolerance is reset to that of an opioid naïve person in order to avoid accidental overdose.
Ibogaine has also been shown to potentiate the effects of opioids and stimulants, with some gender variation in the case of cocaine. It is important for clinicians to be aware of these interactions in order to effectively facilitate detoxification. Especially in cases where long-acting opioids are considered, potentiation of opioid analgesia can result in simply delaying the onset of withdrawals until the effects of the ibogaine have subsided.
Prior to this publication, the most significant precedent document to outline strategies for use of ibogaine in detoxification was the Manual for Ibogaine Therapy (Lotsof and Wachtel, 2006).
The current guidelines were drafted and edited by a panel of authors with extensive clinical and research experience. It was refined through a series of proposals and extensive interviews with medical professionals, practicing ibogaine therapy providers and researchers.
Proposals were presented during a series of public consultation periods, during which input was collected through in-person, electronic interviews, and written correspondence with members of the broader community of ibogaine therapy providers and medical professionals. The first completed version of this document is scheduled for publication in September 2015. | <urn:uuid:3de156d0-006a-44b8-b7ba-6e68870a01c0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://ibogaineguidelines.com/clinical-guidelines/introduction/ | 2023-09-23T17:04:48Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.943457 | 3,915 |

Jun 14 (2 Chronicles 6-7; Psalm 136) To complete our comparison of the temple to our bodies as a dwelling place for God, we look at Solomon’s prayer of dedication of the temple that he built: “…that Your eye will be open toward this house day and night, toward the place of which You have said that You would put Your name there, to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place” (2 Ch. 6:20). God lives in us, which means He has put His name above our own on the mailbox! And we can talk (pray) to Him anytime, all the time, since we are His house. He is always at home—never absent!
“And the glory of the LORD filled the house” (2 Ch. 7:1). In this experience of being God’s house and being filled with His glory, prayer is a dialogue. We talk to God, and He talks to us, as He did to Solomon: “If My people who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Ch. 7:14). We can count on God’s promise of forgiveness and healing because He said: “My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayer offered in this place … My eyes and My heart will be there always” (2 Ch. 7:15-16). The amazing truth of our being God’s house is that our relationship to Him is extremely personal! He sees us; He hears us; He knows our hearts!
All of this is made clear by His love for us. Every one of the 26 verses in Psalm 136 end with the declaration: “For His lovingkindness is everlasting.” Lovingkindness is the word “chesed” in Hebrew, which is rendered also mercy, or faithfulness; it never ends!

The ICOM-ICR Annual Conference 2023：Regional Museum and Regional Revitalization Call for papers, Workshop
The ICOM-ICR Annual Conference 2023：Regional Museum and Regional Revitalization
The ICOM-ICR Annual Conference 2023 is interested in regional museums and regional revitalization. Regional revitalization refers to the comprehensive and strategic efforts undertaken to renew and revitalize a region or area that has experienced various challenges. Regional museums play a crucial role in this process and have significantly contributed to the success of regional evitalization in various ways. Besides. regions develop much of their unique characteristics from the collective activities of people who live in them, shape the surface through their actions, build distinct tructures. and form organizations and social relation ships.
Nine years after ICR was hosted in Taiwan and after a worldwide health and social crisis. we return to the country once more to examine the activity of regional museums in the fabric that motivates discussions on regionat revitalization.

I-DEA Graduate Lands Prestigious Internship in DC
by Shay Angelo
On her way out the door to attend her high school graduation, Nicole Kriener finally got the phone call she’d feared would never come. Kreiner would be spending the summer following her dream, before heading off to Boise State University in the fall to complete a degree in library science. After a competitive application process, open to Idaho high school juniors and seniors, Kriener was chosen to represent Idaho as a member of the Public Library Association’s 2018 Inclusive Internship Cohort and travel to Washington DC.
The only student from Idaho to be invited, Kriener will join 50 other students from around the nation in Washington DC this summer. The interns will receive a broad overview of library work through a set of targeted master classes, conversations with mentors, and other activities. Kriener will visit the Library of Congress, and then go on to Chicago to make a presentation about her own library program which she’ll be implementing by summer’s end in Meridian.
“This is a great opportunity for me and it made graduation night even that much more special as all my hard work was paying off so soon. Before I even start BSU in the fall, I’ll get a jump start on my career path through this internship,” said Kriener.
Kriener decided in 8th grade that she wanted to become a children’s librarian and a writer. She’s been working hard toward that goal ever since. Kriener attended Idaho Distance Education Academy, an Idaho public virtual charter school, from first through twelfth grades. And graduated high school on June 1, having already completed 26 dual college credits and she estimates having saved about $16,000 on college costs. Kriener noted that although schooling from home can be challenging because “you have to stay focused and organize your time for yourself” she said, “My I-DEA teachers and counselors were amazing. They knew my goal, kept me on track, and really cared about me.”
Kriener encourages anyone who doesn’t feel their traditional school education is helping them meet their goals to give I-DEA a try saying, “If you’re motivated, the school will give you the support and one-on-one attention you need to achieve your goals. Communicate with your teachers. They want you to succeed and are willing to help you get there.”

Manchester United are close to finalising the transfer of Ajax winger Antony, The Sun report.
The Red Devils are yet to make a signing during this summer’s transfer window, but have been linked with numerous players including Antony and Frenkie de Jong.
The former has emerged as manager Erik ten Hag’s top attacking target, and The Sun claim that officials from United are due in Amsterdam to agree a deal worth £40m.
en Hag played his part in recruiting Antony from Sao Paulo two years ago. It appears likely that they could be reunited at United ahead of the pre-season campaign.
Antony was hugely impressive for the Eredivisie champions last season, registering 12 goals and 10 assists from 32 games. His season was curtailed early due to an ankle injury.
The Brazilian showed his class with his goal contributions, but also grabbed the attention with his pace and dribbling on the counter-attack while registering regular shots.
The right-winger also won nearly five ground and aerial duels per game alongside one tackle. Hence, he can be considered as a complete footballer and has the chance to impress on the big stage.
Antony was effective for Ajax in the Champions League, but the Premier League would provide him with a bigger challenge as he would need to produce such performances consistently.
There are no doubts where he would play at United. Being a specialist left-footed right-winger, he should provide United with an upgrade in a position where they have tended to struggle.
Jadon Sancho was signed from Borussia Dortmund to make an impact from the role, but he looked out of sorts until he was switched to the opposite flank. He could now feature from the left wing.
At the price quoted, Antony could be considered as a potential bargain. He is just entering the prime of his career, and could be a leading player for United if he can adapt quickly to the Premier League. | <urn:uuid:9432ac25-874e-4fd4-967e-7691b5dae322> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://idusport.com/manchester-united-are-very-close-to-sign-ajax-player-whos-erik-ten-hag-top-transfer-target/ | 2023-09-23T18:08:07Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.987149 | 401 |

Implementing the new eLearning authoring tool, such as iSpring Suite, may be stressful for managers. It’s a transformation that has an impact on both people and processes. It might be challenging to unite your staff behind the change, reduce the agony of the transition, and swiftly reap the promised rewards. With these 10 steps, you can be sure that your investment will not inhibit your team, and that adopting a new tool will go smoothly:
1. Communicate the reason for the requirement
You’ll be able to give your team and stakeholders the proper plan about the new technology if you’re clear on your reasons. It will help clarify what “proof points” or milestones you should include in your implementation plan. Furthermore, it provides you with a solid foundation for a discussion with your provider. What resources can they offer to assist you in getting there? The following are some of the most compelling reasons to make a change:
- Meet business demands with a solution that enables onboarding new writers, designers and bringing SMEs to collaborate easier.
- Reclaim control of your collection of eLearning content and be able to make rapid adjustments to it.
- Reduce costs by reusing, rebranding, translating, and collaborating on modules to offer large-scale solutions to your business.
2. Predict the implementation challenges
Whatever your goals are, you’ll want your tool to have the features and capabilities to help you achieve them. But, how much change (and danger) does employing this product bring to your team and company?
3. Clarify the process difference
Process differences are not the same as functional differences. Map out of your present development process (if you have one). Do different people play distinct roles, such as reviewers and designers? If you’re new to online learning, consider how you presently create a training course?
4. Develop new methods to simplify implementation
It’s not merely a matter of adapting an old procedure to a new instrument. Collaborate with the tool provider to reap the benefits.
You may be moving to a cloud-based platform, in which case reviews, comments, and revisions may all be done directly in the tool rather than outside. Perhaps it includes built-in author onboarding, allowing you to directly market the product to SMEs.
5. Garner employee reviews and feedback
Choosing to commit entirely to one new authoring tool rather than adding another to the mix results follow two different implementation techniques. In both cases, your team should advise you to help you reach your desired objectives and give case studies and practical actions to assist you in making the changeover.
6. Figure out support provided by the tool
Many people considering making the transfer have this question and concern. How soon your staff can catch up determines how involved you should be, how quickly you can implement it, and how quickly you can reap the rewards. What is the customer care support that will be provided by the authoring tool?
Will it include training videos, help center, FAQ, live chat support, demos, and ready-made templates for quick results?
7. Find out how others pulled it off
Check out other enterprises that will have faced the issue of implementing a good authoring platform. See if your supplier can walk you through the procedure. Since the authoring tool has already been implemented by other comparable companies.
8. Set goals for yourself and track your progress over time.
It might take weeks or months until you observe quicker authoring, gather enough learner feedback to prove that the quality is up to par, and deliver all of the planned releases.
Include milestones in your implementation strategy, and seek ways to evaluate and confirm its effectiveness along the way. Keep stakeholders up to date and informed about your accomplishments.
9. Create a quick demo
Even if you’re working on a large project, having a new, attractive sample of what your new tool can achieve is critical to gaining acceptance. What you create upfront might become an internal template that other teams can adopt. Create a project with information that is “well-known” to you and has a “wow” factor. Is it possible that it’s a previous project created in a new authoring tool? Tell them how quick and easy it was.
10. Train a small group
Empowering a small group of volunteers to arrange the back-end can assist and speed up the overall deployment.
It shouldn’t seem like implementing a new tool is a tough challenge. Good providers will think for you, provide you with much-needed support, break it down into checkpoints for you, and assist you to get there.
Make sure you talk to your eLearning vendor about how they can help you in each of the 10 areas listed above, regardless of the authoring tool you choose. | <urn:uuid:3b019378-090e-47eb-bb38-9aa05ab37129> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://illinoisnewstoday.com/10-ways-to-introduce-authoring-tool-in-your-company/461500/ | 2023-09-23T17:18:20Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.930785 | 1,003 |

Robert Hewer is a painter based in Bath, England. He earned a Fine Art Foundation Degree from Yeovil Collage and a BA in Fine Art from Bath Spa University.
Robert explains his work by saying, “A wealth of imagery flows throughout my work from architecture and structured objects to portraiture and the human figure, with the images being selected initially on formalistic qualities. They are then used as a vehicle for establishing a language between the painterly mark and the structure. Primarily using oil & acrylic paint on primed canvas, I attempt to depict shape and form using clean assured lines in conjunction with abrupt gestures layered on the surface. My work has a founded emphasis on angular form and geometry, with a rigorous investment in the surfaces materiality, from the paints visual disparity in application to its textual physicality. I aim to draw the viewer in to explore the complexity of these images, enticing them to unfold the process and visual history of the paintings.” | <urn:uuid:4a3566ad-d177-4720-9d8e-2b576de8b1c1> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://images.artistaday.com/?p=24040 | 2023-09-23T17:15:19Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.95507 | 214 |
Blast from the past. 1/48 Aurora Gotha GV.
I thought I'd join in the fun with an oldie from the back of the display case, built 27 years ago. Constructed from an original Aurora 1/48 Gotha G. V kit, the one with the hard brittle red plastic, only the basic airframe parts, fuselage, wings and tails, and engine nacelles were used. The propellers were carved from basswood and engines built up from aluminum tubing and styrene. Interior was an educated guess at the time, built up from styrene and thin basswood sheet. Not much aftermarket was available back then, and I was not aware of what little was available .
No decals were available at the time to represent the printed fabric used on the original, so the camouflage was hand painted. I used the process of painting the lozenge as a stress relief break as I was finishing my aerospace engineering degree at the time I built the model. When my studies became too stressful, I'd paint one color on one section. One color on one side of one wing panel or fuselage side took 30 mins, just enough time to clear my head! The pattern was traced with pencil around a nut (No I was not the nut! Tamiya acrylics thinned with alcohol were used for all the camouflage and markings. I can't remember what colors exactly, but only the purple was mixed the rest were used right out of the bottle. Painting was done by brush.
My research indicated that the printed fabric was often of such poor quality that it was sometimes used only on the plywood covered fuselage and slightly better unbleached linen on the flying surfaces. The linen fabric was then painted to match the printed. To replicate this, I primed the wings and tails with off-white and hand painted the hexagons. I painted the fuselage the gray and painted the remaining colors on top. This way any skips or thin areas would show linen color on the flying surfaces and would not be noticeable on the fuselage.
Rigging was stretched wire and turnbuckles represented by blobs of copper paint. The rest of the details were made up from styrene, wire and basswood. The completed model still presents a nice display despite its age though it could do with a little updating.

Megan Foshee, EIT, is one of our superstar Staff Engineers who is equal parts pavement pro and doggo-whisperer. She is based in McKinney, Texas, and is a graduate of Auburn University. (WAR EAGLE!)
Let’s get to know her better!
What do you love most about your job?
I love that I get to work in essentially all areas of the business, interact directly with clients, and help agencies better understand how to manage their pavement and asset networks.
What do you think is the most important skill that a successful professional should have?
I think it’s extremely important to be able to write and speak effectively. Complex and technical ideas can be difficult to convey to an audience, especially if they are not familiar with the subject matter. But in my opinion, being able to put these ideas into words and phrases that the audience can follow and relate to sets the writer/speaker apart from the rest.
Do you follow any sports teams?
I love all sports! But right now, I am very focused on following the United States Women’s National Soccer Team as they play in the World Cup later this month. They have everything they need to win it all in August!
What are some of your favorite local spots to visit?
Me, my husband, and our dog love to go to local farmers’ markets, wineries, and restaurants. Also, my husband and I love going to places nearby that let you play sports as you eat (like TopGolf). Where we live, there are restaurants where you can play pickleball and fowling (a combination of football and bowling). These places are really a ton of fun!
How has your role evolved since you joined the ICC/IMS team?
I have always been a part of the engineering team and worked on the engineering side of projects, but sometimes my responsibilities extend past engineering. Since I joined ICC/IMS in June 2022, I have helped rework our final report deliverable, coordinate GIS and processing work, develop proposal content, reach out to potential clients at nearby conferences, and attend pre-bid proposal meetings and shortlist interviews.
What do you think makes you unique as an ICC/IMS team member?
I think my personality and ability to see the big picture make me unique as an ICC/IMS team member.
What methods or tools do you use to stay organized?
I really love using the Microsoft Planner app! As I’m sure many others can relate, I get assigned tasks by several different people at various times. This is hard to manage on my own, but the Planner app allows me to create tiles for all of the tasks in one interface and move the tiles around to prioritize accordingly.
What methods do you use to stay motivated and focused?
My DeLonghi coffee maker ensures that I never lose motivation or focus! Editor’s note: DeLonghi, contact us for a long list of caffeine-fueled, potential ambassadors!
What is your favorite food?
My favorite food is chicken alfredo or really anything with pasta!
Do you have any hidden talents?
My hidden talent is that I am a dog whisperer. All dogs love me, and I love them! | <urn:uuid:5d0ae4a3-13f5-4de4-a309-e0c245765b6c> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://imsanalysis.com/news/meet-megan/ | 2023-09-23T16:54:24Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.961184 | 686 |
As the Maldives reopens its international borders and welcomes all nationalities, Maldives Marketing & Public Relations Corporation (MMPRC), launches a new campaign “Rediscover Maldives…the sunny side of life”.
It aims to strengthen the market presence to welcome back tourists once again, and all marketing activities will be carried out under one campaign tagline; “Rediscover Maldives…the sunny side of life” for the rest of 2020.
The campaign was launched in a virtual press conference on 15th July, by MMPRC. Top international media from 21 countries including the main source markets, China, Italy, India, Germany, Russia, UK, France, Saudi Arabia, and Japan, participated in the live conference with almost 300 attendees in total.
The virtual press conference was translated into three languages in real-time as it was carried out; Chinese, Russian, and Korean. The conference ended with a Q&A session where the speakers clarified inquiries of journalists from around the globe.
In the opening statement, Mr. Thoyyib Mohamed, the Managing Director of MMPRC spoke about how the government and private sector have been working hard to ensure safety and hygiene standards for travelers in the new normal. He also mentioned that the Maldives is fully prepared to welcome back tourists and that the safety of tourists and staff is a top priority.
Minister of Foreign Affairs, Honorable Abdulla Shahid also spoke, stating that responding to COVID-19 has been tough but the Maldives has come back stronger and is a safe destination for all tourists and staff. In addition to that Minister of Health, Honorable Abdulla Ameen also expressed a sense of relief and excitement as we welcome back tourists. He also reassured that proper health and safety measures have been put in place around the country to ensure an enjoyable vacation for visitors.
The virtual conference and the campaign are amongst the first initiatives to promote the destination once borders are reopened. With the onset of tourism adapting to the “new normal” and under proper safety precautions, MMPRC has a variety of activities planned for the year. H.E President Solih has announced a target of 850, 000 visitors by the end of 2020. | <urn:uuid:cdfa0d1b-3601-481b-a1e8-b2ec680eb0e5> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://imtmonline.com/2020/07/16/the-maldives-resumes-tourism-rediscover-maldivesthe-sunny-side-of-life-campaign/ | 2023-09-23T18:58:08Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.950219 | 456 |
As you look at the Impact Report, you will see a representation of the collective work provided to survivors and those affected by violence. One of the most profound results from last year is the number of individuals we spoke to on our 24/7 crisis hotline, totaling 11,707 calls.
As I reflect on the previous year, I’m reminded of the moments of strength I’ve witnessed in survivors as they reclaim their lives and futures. These moments would not be possible without you, our friends, walking alongside us and those we serve.
I hope you are all having a wonderful summer, filled with special moments and memories with friends, family, or loved ones. At Rose Brooks Center, we count it an honor to walk alongside those we serve, as they create new and lasting memories all summer long.
As we begin to settle into another year, it is impossible not to reflect on 2021 with sincere gratitude. As you review Rose Brooks Center's 2021 Impact Report, the numbers represent more than success...

Should I put water in tomato sauce?
Tomatoes are mostly water anyway. ... But adding some water fairly early can give you some flexibility. A good time to do this is when it's starting to need constant stirring but you need to get on with the rest of the meal. A low heat and a heavy pan help too.
Frequently asked Questions 🎓
Well, hot water would thaw the meat, but it would also start to cook it and it could cause parts of the meat to get above 40 degrees. That's the temperature where microbes can start to grow. Cold water, right out of the tap works great. I just plug up the sink and set in the meat until it's covered with water.
Perishable foods should never be thawed on the counter, or in hot water and must not be left at room temperature for more than two hours. ... There are three safe ways to thaw food: in the refrigerator, in cold water, and in the microwave.
Water is added to bacon for one reason: to make more cash. ... The industrial method for making bacon cuts the time down drastically. First the fresh pork is injected with brine, then it's placed in a vacuum tumbler for up to two hours to distribute the brine evenly.
Dry-Cured Smoked Back Bacon Oak-Smoked Dry-Cured Back Bacon No added water..
I simply seasoned them with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper before searing them in a little butter. ... If you can only find "wet" scallops, soak them in a solution of 1 quart cold water, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons table salt for 30 minutes. Remove the small side muscle from the scallops.
around 3 daysIf properly cared for scallops can live out of the water in their shell for around 3 days. If not consumed within the 3 days, please shuck them as soon as possible to store the scallop meat for another 5 days in the fridge in a container or wrapped in cling film.
Place a towel (or a few paper towels) down on a large plate. Place the scallops on the towel then cover with an additional towel (or paper towels). Press gently to remove excess water.
A few more cooking questions 📍
Should you season fish before cooking?
2. Seasoning the fish too soon before cooking. Seasoning the fish with salt and pepper before cooking is a must for great flavor, but just as important is when you season. When seasoned too soon before cooking, the salt will start to break down the proteins in the salmon and draw moisture out of the fish.
How do you fix over boiled noodles?
If you're often guilty of the overcooking blunder, listen up! Sauteing mushy pasta in a pan with olive oil or butter can help it regain its firmer texture. In order to do this, add the olive oil or butter to a pan and warm over medium heat. Saute the pasta for three to seven minutes, and the edges will become crisp.
What is the orange thing on a scallop?
The orange (female) or grey-pink (male) shape attached is known as the coral and the roe or milt sacs. These have a more robust flavour and are often removed for sale but the combination of the two makes a very attractive presentation. Watch our video on how to clean and prepare scallops: Video Player is loading..
Does salmon spoil easily?
Although it may seem counter intuitive because salmon is a type of fish, if it's still edible it should not smell unpleasantly "fishy" in any way. If your salmon smells somewhat sour or anything like ammonia,, it has gone bad and you need to toss it. Fresh salmon has a mild aroma, or one that smells similar to the sea.. | <urn:uuid:3ece1193-7c7a-4881-bd9a-e94cd482cf55> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://indonesian-recipes.com/should-i-put-water-in-tomato-sauce | 2023-09-23T18:52:56Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.954813 | 827 |

People allergic to insect venom need precision medical diagnosis and treatment
A team of researchers has elucidated individual profiles of allergy reactivity in patients that are not protected after treatment with immunotherapy. The aim is to improve medical treatment of people who are allergic to insect stings.
Approximately 30 per cent of the European population suffers from allergies and 3–5 per cent are allergic to insect venom. In Denmark alone, 50,000 people are at risk of severe allergic reactions if they are stung. The majority of people, however, are not aware of their allergy.
If aware of the allergy, they can currently be protected with an acute injection of drugs or a long-term treatment with an allergen vaccine. This treatment is relatively successful, but there are a certain number of patients that do not respond properly to treatment. The putative reasons remained unclear.
Insect allergy sufferers do not react to the same allergens and, in some cases, the treatment therefore has a reduced effect or does not work at all. A limited protection at worst can be fatal.
“Vaccines for immunotherapy today are often based on the natural sources such as venom from insects and can therefore contain very different amounts of allergens and even venom from different species of insects. All venom allergic patients are treated the same way by using insect venom preparations, and this sometimes is not ideal,” says Associate Professor Edzard Spillner.
Molecular knowledge for better drugs
The researchers are therefore working on developing artificial allergens that perfectly mimic the allergens in insect venom. Associate Professor Spillner is an expert in the development and design of proteins for diagnostic and therapeutic use. In his laboratory at Aarhus University, he has produced a variety of artificial proteins for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
The research group also focuses on artificial human antibodies to insect venom allergens and other structures with relevance for allergic reactions. Here the known allergenic antibody IgE is particularly in the spotlight. In collaboration with other researchers at Aarhus University, the most interesting ones have been crystallized recently.
“We can isolate and rebuild IgE from the patient’s blood and identify the target structure it reacts with. This way we can analyse how it behaves together with the allergens. The better we understand the molecular mechanisms of action, the greater our chances are of developing new concepts in allergy treatment,” says Associate Professor Spillner.
The next step for the researchers is to describe precisely how the artificial antibodies bind to the individual antigens, and this can be the key to finding out by which factors the allergic reaction is driven.
Breakthrough in the laboratory
Using a set of several insect venom allergens, his research group and collaborators were able to carry out comprehensive mappings of the antibodies in patient sera that can cause anaphylaxis, and this is an important step in the direction of more and deeper knowledge of allergy, particularly to insect venom.
“After we can identify specific components of the venom as allergens and produce them artificially in the lab, we have routine access to studying the molecular processes going on in the blood of allergy sufferers. The component resolved approach is a major breakthrough in allergy and, in particular, in insect venom allergy and could be a benchmark for individualized immunotherapeutic treatment,” says Associate Professor Spillner.
The technology has the potential for improved and more extensive diagnostic practice. The researchers estimate that a large portion of people who are allergic to insect venom are currently unaware of their condition, and are unprepared for any severe allergic reactions that can occur when they are stung. Of those being aware and obtaining immunotherapy, those patients with specific recognition profiles could be identified which are at higher risk for unsuccessful immunotherapy using insect venom preparations.
Large study of anaphylaxis
In a large study involving several centres in Germany, Switzerland and Denmark, the researchers could show that in particular one of these components can be absent or significantly underrepresented in therapeutic preparations. Pronounced reactivity of the patient to one of the allergens, called Api m 10, has now been identified as a risk factor for therapeutic failure in honey bee venom immunotherapy.
This is good news for all allergy sufferers because the approach points to unsolved problems with therapeutic preparations. Improved preparations will probably be able to provide better protection of individual patients.
“We carried out our study in the field of insect venom allergy, but similar phenomena in principle apply for all kinds of allergies. We expect to extrapolate our results and use similar methods to study the scenario behind other allergic reactions,” says Associate Professor Spillner.
The results of the research have now been published in the scientific Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.

I recently attended an incredible gluten-free retreat and left with so many new ideas that I’ve barely made it out of the kitchen for a week! I’ve been whisking and chopping and baking and canning into the wee hours of the morning, inspired by the creative minds I spent a few days with.
One evening during the retreat I shared my version of pulled “pork,” Jackfruit BBQ. Being from Kansas City, I should know my barbeque but am always apprehensive sharing this with meat-eaters. It was well-received and Shirley asked me what else I could make with jackfruit. I hadn’t tried anything else with jackfruit, but knew I should. No, not should, I would! Shirley inspired me to come up with more goodness using this bizarre fruit most people have never heard of. Because we eat tacos a lot, I decided to start there. And that’s where Diane comes in…
Diane shared delicious guaco-tacos, using thinly sliced jicama for the taco shells. She was inspired by a Jose Andres dish, but I’m certain she has improved upon it. I was so taken by these and enjoyed the jicama with more than just guacamole during the retreat. I had hummus, egg salad, a potato hash with Majestic Garlic that made my tastebuds beg for more, all with jicama taco shells. As soon as I got home from the retreat, I bought a better mandoline from OXO so I could slice jicama for tacos. It’s such a great idea on so many levels. They are crunchy, grain-free, low in calories, keep well in the refrigerator for days. I just love them!
So here it is, my newest jackfruit creation. It’s good for taco filling and also tasty on nachos. I’m showing it here with the jicama taco shells, which I filled with the jackfruit recipe below, shredded lettuce, tomatoes and guacamole. My favorite fella topped his with peach salsa. Delicious!
10 oz. can of young green jackfruit, found in Asian markets
1/2 cup uncooked wild rice
1 1/2 cups water
2 T. taco seasoning (I keep a jar of this seasoning from Whole New Mom in the cupboard. I quadruple the recipe so I always have some handy.)
Drain and rinse the jackfruit.
Place all ingredients in crockpot and cook on low for 4 hours. Stir occasionally.
Turn crockpot off and allow to cool for awhile. Once a manageable temperature, pour the mixture out onto a large cutting board. Chop, chop, chop, until the mixture resembles ground meat taco filling.
It may still be warm enough to serve or you might want to microwave it for a minute or two. The leftovers will also reheat well in the microwave, that’s how I discovered how good the filling is on nachos.
To make the jicama taco shells, start with a jicama that is narrow enough to fit completely between the sides of your mandoline. Peel the jicama and using the serrated blade, slice the jicama into very thin slices. ALWAYS use a handguard with a mandoline, no matter what the celebrity chefs do on the Food Network. I usually get 25-30 “taco shells” from one medium jicama. I store leftovers wrapped in a damp paper towel, then tucked into an airtight container and refrigerated. They will keep for 3-4 days.
That’s it! Nothing else to it, quick and easy, meat-free and soy-free.

5 Key Responsibilities of an HOA Manager
June 22, 2023
We’d love to connect with you.
The Most Important Jobs For An HOA Manager
An HOA manager takes care of several key responsibilities to ensure an HOA functions properly.
If you’re about to become a manager or your HOA is about to hire one, it’s important to understand these responsibilities.
Being an HOA manager is a massive challenge. It requires working in tandem with board members to ensure HOA members follow regulations, the HOA stays in good financial health, and much more.
In this article, we’re going to focus on the five most important responsibilities.
#1: Financial Management
HOAs collect regular fees and payments from all members to fund HOA expenses. Managers are typically in charge of invoicing and taking care of collections (whether online or in-person). Managers typically must track delinquencies and ensure everyone in the association pays on time and in full.
HOA penalty fees, late fees, setting up payment plans, placing liens, and starting foreclosure proceedings are also a part of a manager’s role.
Regular financial reporting is a vital part of every manager’s job. The board needs to understand the financial health of the HOA to make sound decisions. Managers need to work closely with professionals to ensure the board has a clear view of expenses, income, reserves, etc.
Naturally, this leads directly to budgeting. An HOA manager must work with the board to create a feasible budget. Effective financial reporting is the foundation for a great budget. This belies the importance of analytics and reports that provide insights on elements like income and expenses.
#2: Common Area Maintenance
An HOA manager must take care of common areas. This includes tasks, such as:
- Ensuring all common areas are safe, clean, and properly insured.
- Finishing special projects on time and under budget.
- Notifying the Board if any projects need to go beyond the budget and providing alternatives to deal with changes in expenses.
- Creating effective preventive maintenance procedures and schedules.
- Knowing who cleans or fixes what and coordinating repairs in a timely manner.
- Planning, communicating, and evaluating maintenance contactors in an ongoing manner.
Safety is a critical part of this responsibility. The association is responsible for injuries or accidents in common areas. Thus, it’s important to secure these areas carefully and maintain them well.
Preventive maintenance, which was mentioned in the list, is vital. Skilled managers know preventing issues is better than reacting to them. Therefore, it’s in everyone’s best interest to proactively care for common areas.
#3: Compliance and Legal Matters
An HOA manager helps enforce bylaws and rules violations. This includes property inspections, sending out violation notices, and setting up disciplinary hearings. Managers don’t have the final say on these matters, but they play a significant role in each of them. The Board decides on matters like community expulsion and then managers act according to those decisions.
While an HOA manager doesn’t need to be a lawyer, they do need a thorough understanding of applicable laws. Part of a manager’s job is to keep an HOA out of legal trouble. Thus, the better they know the law, the more they can help prevent legal issues.
#4: Vendor Management
Most HOAs work with outside companies and contractors to ensure an HOA looks great and functions properly. Landscaping companies, for instance, are an example of a common vendor managers work with. Managers need to prepare requests for proposals (RFPs), vetting different landscaping businesses, helping the board select the specific company, and ensuring the vendors meet expectations.
Communication with tenants, the board, vendors, and others is a vital part of an HOA manager’s job.
Managers need to send out notices in a timely fashion, ensure the distribution of newsletters or updates, and get key information to residents quickly. Managers often act as a go-between for residents and the HOA. They need to be able to answer questions and field concerns. A calm demeanor and savvy communication skills go a long way in this role.
HOA managers have a unique relationship with the board. They need to be a voice of reason and wisdom. Working closely with the board to accomplish things requires valued expertise and consistent, clear communication.
Experienced HOA managers also understand the importance of communicating with members of the community. Regular meetings are a great way for HOA managers to gauge members’ morale and address issues.
Newsletters are another method HOA managers use to keep residents informed and educated. These newsletters may be mailed out or emailed to community members. The method of distribution is up to the board.
Many managers even create a website that allows residents to browse valuable information and documents related to the HOA.
Regardless of the type of communication, the keys are consistency and clarity. Every HOA manager must strive to keep all relevant parties updated and aware of what’s going on in the community.
Consider HOA Management Software
Every manager should strongly consider software to manage HOA. It can be overwhelming to try to take on many of these tasks manually. It’s also unwise with the software available in today’s world.
Read our article here that discusses the best software platforms for HOA management. | <urn:uuid:616338d1-d24b-45fb-bb57-9ef11d9510fa> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://innago.com/5-key-responsibilities-of-an-hoa-manager/ | 2023-09-23T18:04:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.937611 | 1,140 |
Scientists around the world are currently researching vaccines and drugs to combat the coronavirus. This virus is infecting an ever-increasing number of people at breakneck speed. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed a novel method that could bring a cure for the SARS-CoV-2 virus a lot closer.
The researchers have produced a protein reagent that can identify biological cell structures and block the spread of a disease in the body when it attaches itself to the sugar structures of a cell or pathogen. Background: viruses that enter the organism during infection and reproduce in the body cells often bind themselves specifically to the sugar structures of their host’s cells. Or they may even have characteristic sugar structures on their own surfaces.
“Identifying special sugar molecules, so-called carbohydrates, is of crucial importance for many biological processes,” explains Arne Skerra, Professor of Biological Chemistry. Current research results from his laboratory now make it possible to develop novel binding proteins for biological sugar structures. These play an important role in both cancer and infectious diseases.
Artificial proteins block pathogens
A body must be able to identify which cells belong where and whether they even belong in the body or not at all. Therefore, these cells often feature sugar chain markers on the outside of the cell membrane or on membrane proteins. Pathogens have their own sugar structure. Or they can bind themselves to one. In contrast, proteins generally have only low levels of affinity with sugars. This makes it very difficult to identify them.
The reason for this is that water and sugar molecules resemble each other very closely. As such, they are more or less camouflaged in the aqueous environment of the cells. Professor Skerra and his team have therefore been looking for an artificial binding protein. One which features a chemical grouping that makes it easier to identify the biological sugar structures.
New class of binding proteins for sugar molecules
Proteins found in nature are formed out of a variety of amino acids which together make up the protein. However, the researchers used an additional artificial amino acid “with the aid of synthetic biology,” researcher Carina Sommer reports. “We have succeeded in specifically introducing a boric acid group – which has a natural affinity with sugar molecules – into the amino acid chain of a protein. We have thereby created a groundbreaking new class of binding proteins for sugar molecules.”
This artificial sugar-binding function is superior to natural binding proteins (known as lectins). Both in terms of its strength and the possibilities for specific formulations. “The sugar-binding activity of boric acid and its derivatives has been known for almost a century,” said Professor Skerra. Boric acid is commonly found in inanimate nature. It is only marginally toxic, but it has so far been largely unused by living organisms. “With the help of X-ray structure analysis, we have succeeded in shedding light on the crystal structure of a complex model of this artificial protein. This validates sour biomolecular concept,” her colleague Dr Andreas Eichinger explains.
Further research for medical applications
Professor Skerra states that after roughly five years of basic research, the research can now be used for concrete medical applications. “Our findings should not only support the future development of novel carbohydrate ligands in biological chemistry. It will also pave the way towards creating active substances with high-affinity levels for controlling or blocking medically significant sugar structures on cell surfaces.”
As an example, the “blocking agent” could be used in oncology or virology where strong cell growth or the binding of pathogens to cells all play a role. By blocking the sugar-binding function, the disease could be slowed down. As a consequence, the immune system would be given more time to defend itself against the disease. | <urn:uuid:4141655d-47d2-4d67-9967-7c872f8d79e0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://innovationorigins.com/en/synthetic-protein-combats-viruses-by-blocking-sugar-structures/ | 2023-09-23T17:56:32Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.943281 | 790 |

"And that’s all?" exclaimed the viewer of Game of Thrones after its finale. "Who ends the series like that?" But really, how should they end? Most often, TV shows get canceled when the channel does not order a new season. Or they drag on endlessly, if there is no cross-cutting plot. But in the history of television, there are enough successful and interesting endings in TV series, so let’s see if you remember some of the most remarkable ones.

You can witness error 3835 in Microsoft Access and EngageMe.TV. The error can occur due to various reasons. A fault within the video streaming networks, improper proxy settings, an increase in hardware acceleration, and other similar conditions can result in this issue.
In Microsoft Access, the user will not receive any warning at all. An error message box will appear with the error code written on it. According to the tech experts, this can happen due to the virus and other malware. Sudden disconnection of the internet connection can be a possible cause. So, let’s get to understand the problem in detail.
Fix the Error 3835 for Microsoft Access
Before you begin, make sure that the MS Office installed on your computer is a licensed version. As per the statistics, a few people also faced this issue when they are using the cracked version of the software package. Now, proceed to the solutions.
1. Eliminate Software Priority Conflicts
When more than one application is running in the background, they search for the priority process. As a result, the priority clash can easily take place which can lead to the error 3835 MS Access. Navigate to the Task Manager, and carefully observe the applications that are consuming more memory. Select them and hit on “End Task”.
2. Resolve the Runtime Error of Internet Explorer
If the default browser of Windows faces the runtime error, then there is every chance of the error 3835 to take place. So, if Microsoft Access gets affected, reset the settings and disable the scripts of the browser. When you are using Windows 7, navigate to the Control Panel, select the “Internet Options” as well as the “Advanced” tab. Here you will find the “Reset” option.
Your next task will be to disable the debugging of the script. In the same “Advanced” Tab, look out for the “Disable Script Debugging”. Now, uncheck all the boxes and click on Apply. After that, restart the system to make the changes effective.
3. Clean up the Disk Drives
There is a high possibility of residual files that might be present in your disk drivers. That is why the error 3835 pops up in Microsoft Access. Navigate to the “My Computer” or “This PC”. You can easily see the disk drives. First, verify the system drive, generally, it’s C: for every system. Right-click on the drive to open “Properties”. In the “General” tab, hit on “Disk Cleanup”. Wait till all the residual files are gathered, and delete them. From now onwards, Microsoft Access will not show the error.
4. Software Fighting for Highest Priority? Remove them All
As per the professionals, most of the third-party applications try to function with the help of the highest priority set by the system. So, you can easily remove those third-party applications with the help of any dedicated uninstaller of the system. Hopefully, error 3835 will not occur again.
5. The Run-time Libraries: Get the New Version
The system runtime libraries consist of Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable files. Getting its new version might help you to resolve the issue. The Microsoft support website will provide you with the latest version of the package. You have to extract them and install them. After that, for changes to become effective, restart the system.
Fix the Error 3835 for Video Streaming Platforms
The users of Smores.TV (now known as Hideout. TV) and EngageMe.TV are facing the error 3835. These two video streaming platforms are built to provide you with entertainment packages.
Recently, Hideout.TV is facing a problematic situation in the US, Canada, Australia, UK, New Zealand, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, Sweden and Netherlands. If you are a permanent citizen of this country, then have a look for easy solutions, and we have summed all tried and tested recoveries here.
1. The VPN and Proxy: Stop it Temporarily
Access to the Task Manager will help you to stop the VPN application. Other than that, regarding the proxy, you need to navigate to the “Internet Options”. From the “Connections” tab, choose LAN Settings. There, uncheck the “Use a proxy server for your LAN”.
2. Never use Hardware Acceleration
Running the hardware acceleration can result in the occurrence of error 3835. Therefore, it is better to turn off the feature from the browser settings. After toggling the button, save changes to eliminate the error.
3. The System Hardware: Check and Report
Try to download a system repair tool to detect any issues in the system. On the other hand, you can also try to access the Hideout.TV or EngageMe.TV via other devices. The change in devices will make you log in to the account, once again.
Are you Banned?
If you haven’t renewed the subscription, then the authority of these two video streaming platforms might restrict you. Due to obvious reasons, you might not receive any notifications via mail or SMS. In this kind of circumstances, you have to keep in mind the expiry date of your current subscription and renew it with the given duration.
What about Mobile Applications?
When you get the error message while watching videos, the application that you are using might be corrupted. In such cases, clear all the cache files of the application. If the problem persists, remove the application from your mobile devices. Restart the device and install the application, one more time. Hopefully, this method will work.

The latest issue of In These Times is a special, extra-length issue devoted entirely to the subject of socialism in America today. This special issue is available now. Order your copy today.
After Indiana Republicans passed a license to discriminate law, a restaurant called Memories Pizza in the Hoosier town of Walkerton stepped up last week to make sure potential customers knew its religious rules: “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Certification of Heterosexuality, No Service.”
Indiana GOP Gov. Mike Pence provided official sanction for such acts of oppression when he signed a gay-bashing version of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act. It enabled individuals and businesses to legally claim their faith required hateful acts of intolerance. Pence got all huffy when human rights groups accused him of seeking to change the state’s slogan from Hoosier Hospitality to Hoosier Hostility.
Marriage-equality-hating Indiana Republicans were joined by counterparts in Arkansas, North Carolina and Georgia in advancing government-sanctioned discrimination. This is not the way Americans treat each other. Well, not in 2015 anyway. America traveled down the path of intolerance for too many centuries. Now, Americans look back at all-white lunch counters with shame. Despite anxiety about ISIS, they disapprove of blaming terrorism on all Muslims. Americans aren’t perfect inclusive egalitarians. But they’re trying. On a deeply spiritual level, they hate institutionalization of minority hate.
And that’s what was going on in Indiana, Arkansas, North Carolina and Georgia. Bans on marriage equality have failed. So these states tried to crash those ceremonies by denying the couples wedding flowers and cakes, then cloaking that vicious discrimination in a sheepskin of religiosity.
The federal Religious Freedom Restoration Act, passed in 1993, was intended to protect religious practices from unnecessary government intrusion. For example, it prevented a Louisiana school district from requiring that a Rastafari student cut his hair because a tenet of his religion is that men should grow long dreadlocks.
The new-fangled versions of this law pushed and passed by Republicans this year, however, added clauses to provide individuals and businesses that unlawfully discriminate with protection from lawsuits alleging unlawful discrimination. These laws would, for example, enable a pizza shop owner to assert that his religion requires him to deny service to long-haired Rastafarians or to same-sex couples holding hands while waiting in line.
Gay rights activists, human rights advocates and righteous Americans protested. They didn’t want to face government-sanctioned discrimination. They didn’t want their friends or family or even strangers to face government-sanctioned discrimination.
Gov. Pence and the Republicans in the Arkansas, North Carolina and Georgia legislatures ignored these protests. And virtually every Republican seeking the party’s presidential nomination – Jeb Bush, Ted Cruz, Bobby Jindal, Ben Carson and Rick Santorum – voiced support for the governors and their license to discriminate laws.
The Republican governors backpedaled only when they heard the giant sucking sound of business and convention dollars draining from their states. Similarly, former Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, also a Republican, rejected a license to discriminate law last year only after the National Football League and corporations threatened negative consequences she’d not anticipated.
Companies including Apple, Angie’s List, NASCAR, Gap Inc., Levi Strauss & Co., Eli Lilly, Marriott, Subaru and Salesforce condemned Indiana’s anti-gay law or threatened to cancel expansion planned for Indiana. The NCAA, headquartered in Indianapolis, expressed concern about government-sanctioned Hoosier Hostility to players, coaches and fans. In the countdown to the Final Four games in Indianapolis, basketball coaches, professional athletes and former Olympians censured Indiana, threatened to boycott the state and demanded repeal of the law. Cities and states from Connecticut to Washington that protect the rights of LGBT Americans forbid taxpayer-funded to travel to Indiana. Celebrities, bands and comedians canceled visits and concerts.
In Arkansas, Walmart, based in Bentonville, told Gov. Asa Hutchinson the anti-gay bill “does not reflect the values we uphold.” After the state’s largest employers urged a veto, Hutchinson reversed his earlier promise to sign and sought removal of the discriminatory language. Pence, who’d arranged for three anti-gay activists – Micah Clark, Eric Miller, and Curt Smith – to stand behind him as he signed Indiana’s bill, supported amendments to prevent the likes of Memories Pizza from demanding certification of heterosexuality before service.
This sudden change of heart – and the revisions to the Indiana and Arkansas legislation – created some awkward moments for the Republican presidential candidates who’d already supported the anti-gay laws. Bush flip-flopped just like the governors did. One day he was for discrimination, the next he wasn’t.
Apparently recognition of LGBT rights by the majority of Americans – and American businesses – occurred much too quickly for Republicans.
Admittedly, the labor movement hasn’t always honored equal rights as quickly as it should have. But AFSCME was among those that pulled a convention out of Indiana in protest of the anti-gay law, and the labor movement has made a concerted effort in recent years to establish true solidarity among all its diverse members.
My own union has failed at times to meet standards to which it aspires. But last summer, at the USW convention, the membership voted to make it an offense under the union constitution to harass a member on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity. The USW will not tolerate any form of discrimination against anyone in its ranks for any reason. It has no place in our union.
Like the USW, the United States is a union. It is a collection of diverse states and diverse people. Standing together, they are stronger.
Republicans who supported codifying intolerance need to experience a conversion. Such hostility has no place in the land of Hoosiers. It should find no home in the land of the free.

Academics and researchers are well versed in writing for academic journals and publications, but what about an article for the general public? The editor of RTÉ’s Brainstorm project discusses what is required to get a non-academic audience to click on your story.
This story begins a decade or so ago, back when Ireland was in the grip of the financial crisis and the banking disaster. An RTÉ employee began to wonder about the academics he was hearing on air and seeing on screen during that great national breakdown.
He was a big fan of academic rigour and insights and voices, but he noted that he wasn’t getting a lot of it. Well, that’s not quite true – he was hearing and seeing a lot of economists. But where were the historians, the sociologists, the philosophers, the scientists at a seminal moment in the life of the nation? Surely they had something to contribute to this discussion – and probably to other topics too. Was there a place for them?
That RTÉ employee was Rory Coveney, the organisation’s director of strategy. A few years later, Rory’s thoughts on academics and the media turned into a brainwave: What if there could be a dedicated place on the RTÉ website where academics and researchers could contribute their thoughts, insights, and perspectives on the matters of the day?
It would be a place where academics and researchers could get their expertise and research across to the general public. A place where they could rub shoulders with RTÉ’s own gallery of journalists and broadcasters. A place where new and diverse voices from Irish academia could emerge and develop and migrate to the broadcaster’s many TV and radio shows.
That brainwave became Brainstorm, a first-in-the-world partnership between academia and a national public-service media organisation. It’s an initiative made possible by the involvement and enthusiasm of founding partners University College Cork, NUI Galway, University of Limerick, Dublin City University, Technological University Dublin, Maynooth University, Ulster University, and strategic partner the Irish Research Council.
It’s a project which developed quickly from a website where academics and researchers can write about Ireland and the world into a flurry of radio shows, podcasts, videos, and events.
It is clear to me, as the project’s editor, that one constituency in particular has been essential for our success. It may sound obvious, but it’s the academics and researchers themselves who have really made Brainstorm possible. It’s because they bought into it with such great gusto from the outset that we have been able to keep on trucking.
They quickly saw a potential in Brainstorm that many of us involved on the coalface never quite saw initially to the same degree. They’ve been hugely generous with their time and expertise. They’ve recruited other academics, encouraged their colleagues to get in touch, and evangelised widely for Brainstorm. We really wouldn’t be telling this story without them.
The reason for this cheerleading from academics and researchers? They understood how Brainstorm could help them communicate their ideas to the general public.
There are many potential audiences that the academic and research community want to reach. Writing for academic journals or contributing at conferences are proven ways to reach peers, policy-makers, and funders and to tick those all-important impact boxes. But the general public are not at those conferences or reading those journals.
Academics quickly saw potential in Brainstorm… they’ve been hugely generous with their time and expertise.
The journals are behind onerous and ludicrously expensive paywalls (there’s an article to be written about how academics and researchers have been hoodwinked by academic publishers, but we’ll leave that one for another day). The conferences are niche and usually aimed at a peer-to-peer audience.
Sure, there are occasional mainstream media pick-ups of what’s published in those journals or said at those gatherings. But by and large, those accounts rely on a time-poor, resource-bereft and inexpert reporter or journalist who may not quite get the right gist or angle of the research at hand. And the PR lens which brings in the media in the first place may often highlight a part of the story which is not the actual hook at all.
No wonder so many researchers and academics are unhappy with how their work is represented in the mainstream media. It’s a common theme when experts see how their thinking has been shorthanded by an intermediary for a lay-person audience. After all, you know your work better than anyone else, so you should be the one telling the story.
One of the beauties of the Brainstorm approach is that the vast majority of the pieces we run on the website are written by the academics themselves. The articles are not filtered or summed up by a third party. The person named at the top of the page is the person who did the hard yards in the first place, put the work in, and wrote the piece you’re about to read. It’s their words summing up their thoughts, their analysis, their opinion.
Another beauty of the Brainstorm approach is that the audience for this work is the general public. Housed on the RTÉ website, which gets around 10 million visitors a month, Brainstorm is a way of reaching the people whose tax euros fund the research in the first place.
The stories are published alongside the day’s news, sport, business, lifestyle, culture, entertainment, and Gaeilge stories. When people scan and click onto the RTÉ website, the Brainstorm stories are part of the mix on the page. Academics’ pieces appear alongside the work of such well-known and respected broadcasters and commentators as Tony Connelly, Emma O’Kelly, Will Goodbody, and Claire Byrne.
So what makes someone – be it your neighbour, your aunt, or the barista who made your skinny latte in the local café this morning – click on your story? What makes them choose your story to browse rather than something else on the RTÉ.ie page?
This is a question which occupies the mind of all editors day in and day out. A lot of our job is about analysis, because not all stories are equal. We’re always looking at how a story performs and what makes one story do a better job of attracting and retaining an audience than another.
Brainstorm is a proven way to communicate with the general public about your idea, your work, your expertise…
We have an online dashboard in front of us which is constantly being updated with stats and data. We can see that this story is appealing to women, that that story is resonating with 25–34-year-olds, and that both stories are holding people’s attention for an average of over three minutes or so.
Data like this is often useful, always horrifically addictive, and occasionally downright dangerous. Some editors will lean on the findings from their analytics to make judgement calls about future stories. If a story about red dresses worked in May, for example, a similar story dressed up slightly differently might work in September. Others will simply add this data to their gut instinct and previous learnings about the stories our audience want to read, and run in that direction.
So what’s in all of this for the academic? To be honest, not much in the data-analysis piece of the pie. Let’s remember that, first and foremost, you are not a journalist or editor skilled in the dark arts of media analytics and data. You’re probably better off!
But you’re interested in a site like Brainstorm because it’s a proven way to communicate with the general public about your idea, your work, your expertise, your bank of incredibly detailed knowledge about a specific subject area. Yes, you want an audience, but it’s the simple matter of communicating the story rather than having a story which breaks the internet which is why you’re doing this (though it would be nice to break the internet as well).
When I make presentations and host workshops about writing for Brainstorm, I talk a lot about three things: language, structure, and hooks. They’re the key attributes of how to tell a compelling story about your work in a way which draws in an audience. The story will come with a headline, photos, and audiovisual content, but there’s none of that gravy without the meat and spuds of the story in the first place.
Before we jump into these things, remember that academics and researchers have one hugely useful advantage when it comes to telling a compelling story. You can write. Some phrases may need to be turned, and some of those 300-word sentences need to be tucked into seven or eight shorter ones instead. But the pieces submitted to RTÉ Brainstorm usually require only light editing, and that’s something which is hugely appreciated by all editors.
Brainstorm stories are written in this awesome language called plain English (though we have also published pieces in Irish, Spanish, and Chinese). Brainstorm is not an academic journal, so the language has to be clear, concise, non-technical, and straightforward. No academese, please. That’s not for this audience.
Yes, I hear you. You’re saying that the PhD process has knocked this ability out of you. You can now only write in a way and style which makes sense to your peers who’ve also gone through the same tortuous process. You can cite your way through 14,000 words without breaking sweat, but writing 800 words in plain English for a general audience brings you out in a cold sweat.
But this audience is not going to stick around and absorb what you have to say if they can’t understand it. If the piece is littered with jargon like ‘interventions’, they’re going to click onto something else. If you want to reach this audience, you have to use the language you’d use when you’re talking to your neighbour, aunt, or barista. Ask for an intervention in the café tomorrow along with your morning coffee and see where it gets you.
Because you have 14,000 words to mull over in a journal article, you have ample elbowroom to make your points, get your citation ducks in a row, and write plenty of those long sentences that academics are so fond of. With a 900-word piece for a general audience who don’t give two hoots which of your colleagues you’re referencing, it’s a very different kettle of fish. You need to know what you’re doing from the get-go.
This is where structure comes in. You have to get your main points lined up and dealt with in the first couple of paragraphs. Why will the reader click on this story? What will make them stick with your piece for the duration? How do you get your research into the mix in such a way that it makes sense?
Thinking about structure allows you to prioritise and streamline your points. It means you have to deduce what the general reader will take away and how you include the relevant details about your work.
The most important aspect of any Brainstorm piece – especially those that have hit the mark with our audience – is the hook. The hook is what draws a reader in and keeps them reading. When they got up this morning, they may have not realised they were going to spend five minutes reading a piece on medieval Irish words, or to enjoy two sociologists reviewing The Young Offenders, or to pore over how Irish welfare spending compares with the rest of Europe. But that’s what happened, because the hook drew them in.
The hook often comes down to timing. For example, we’ve seen huge interest in Brainstorm stories about Brexit and climate change in 2019 as people search for new thinking about these issues. There may be perceived wisdom that people don’t want detail or depth, but we have the data to turn that one on its head. If there’s a story with a different angle on these issues, it will often do well.
Other hooks are to do with what people are genuinely interested in. We know that there are some topics (like sleep) and themes (popular culture) which will draw in readers. At all times, you’ve an eye out for the hook and how best to deploy it. You know that this is the thing which will make people read on.
You may know everything there is to know about a particular area, but can you convey it in a way that holds the attention, curiosity, and interest of the reader?
Of course, as I said earlier, you’re not a journalist, so it’s often the case that you won’t know what the hook is. That’s where the editor comes in. When I’m pitched a story, either by email or face to face at a Brainstorm campus workshop, I’m looking for a hook. It may be in the fifth paragraph of the email, or it may take you ten minutes to get around to it, but I’ll be looking for it. The hook is what makes your story really sing and stand out.
The art of telling a compelling story comes down to communication. You may know everything there is to know about a particular area, but can you convey it in a way that holds the attention, curiosity, and interest of the general reader? What is it about your work which will make them sit up and take notice? Can you construct the narrative in a way that will make them happy they clicked your way?
At Brainstorm, we believe there’s a great relationship to be fostered between our writers – academics and researchers – and our readers, the general public. Both sides are coming to the table with different aims and expectations, but we’re just happy to be the ones providing the bridge between the two.

Laron syndrome – A perspective on diagnosis and management in India
How to cite this article: Rao S. Laron syndrome – A perspective on diagnosis and management in India. J Pediatr Endocrinol Diabetes 2022;2:104-6.
The biological ineffectiveness of endogenous or exogenous growth hormone (GH) (i.e., a state of resistance) has been reported in several clinical conditions. Laron syndrome (LS), or primary GH insensitivity (GHI), is the most common genetically mediated cause. Inherited as an autosomal recessive disorder of the GH receptor (GHR) gene, it is clinically indistinguishable from isolated GH deficiency (GHD).
Ever since its first description by Laron et al. in 1966 in three siblings from a Jewish family in Yemen, population estimates from the USA suggest fewer than 5000 people to be affected by this disorder and the published world literature describes <500 proven cases.[2,3] The spectrum of GHI has expanded beyond GHR deficiency to include post-receptor abnormalities like insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) gene mutation (1996); IGF-1 receptor mutation (2003); signal transducer and activator of transcription 5b mutation (2003); and mutation of the GH-dependent acid labile subunit (2004).
Indian literature on LS is largely limited to clinical profiles and diagnosis.[4-8] The series of six cases presented by Rajalakshmi et al. in this issue adds to the data on diagnosis from South India. In a study by Desai et al. in 1991, of the 430 children referred for short stature, 100 (23%) had GHD/GHI of which 89 were confirmed to have GHD on two stimulation tests. Primary GHI was seen in 11 cases. As with all rare endocrine diseases in India, the case detection may be higher than that is reported in Indian literature.
LS, caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in GHR gene located on chromosome 5 (5p13.1-p12), is a fully penetrant gene with more than 70 mutations identified so far, most of which affect the extracellular domain of the GH receptor. For these reasons, often patients with LS show low or undetectable GH binding protein (GHBP) levels, as GHBP is created by proteolytic cleavage of the extracellular GH-binding domain of the GHR. However, mutation elsewhere in the GHR gene may result in normal or elevated GHBP levels. Thus, normal GHBP levels are insufficient to exclude the diagnosis of LS. Post-GH-receptor defect due to mutations in the STAT5B gene has LS phenotype with associated immunodeficiency. Some GHR gene mutations may also present with partial GHI and were previously labeled as idiopathic short stature.
The cardinal feature of LS is severe postnatal growth failure, which is also seen in the case series described by Rajalakshmi et al., with a marked reduction in final height. Children present with a height standard deviation score (SDS) between –3 and –12 and untreated individuals reach a final adult height of 119 cm in females and 124 in males. The clinical phenotype is not very different from the cases of isolated GHD. Typically, it includes a history of decreased fetal movements in the antenatal period. Although the birth weight and length are usually normal, some may have decreased birth length and features of intrauterine growth restriction. Respiratory distress, hypoglycemia, and indirect hyperbilirubinemia may be seen in the newborn period. Rarely strabismus, cataract, aortic stenosis, micropenis, undescended testis, and developmentally dysplastic hip may be seen. The child may also have sparse hair, frontal bossing, hypoplastic nose, shallow orbit, blue sclera, high-pitched voice, preserved truncal pad of fat, and limited joint mobility. Maturational delay in the form of delayed dentition, delayed bone age, and pubertal delay are often present. Despite a delay in the onset of puberty by 3–7 years, sexual functions, and fertility are preserved. Intellectual disability may be seen but severe disability is rare. Osteopenia, obesity, dyslipidemia, dysglycemia, and hip degeneration are seen in adolescents and adults. The presence of immunodeficiency points to STAT5B mutation.
Hormonal investigations show high circulating basal GH levels with low IGF-1 and/or IGF-1 binding protein-3. Exogenous GH does not cause IGF-1 to increase or restore normal growth, which forms the basis of IGF-1 generation test. This consists of a brief trial of GH administration for approximately 1 week. In patients with GHI, the low baseline IGF-1 will not rise after exogenous administration of GH for 4–9 days. The poor IGF-1 response was seen in all cases in this series by Rajalakshmi et al. However, the protocols for performing this test have not been standardized and the levels of IGF-1 achieved are quite variable. A scoring system to identify patients with GHI has been suggested. This scoring system includes basal GH, IGF-1, IGF-1 generation, height SDS, and GHBP. The maximum possible score is 7 points. Patients with a score of 5 or more are considered to have significant GHI.
The only treatment available for LS since 1986 is recombinant IGF-1. Laron et al. describe in their study where 23 children received treatment for many years and four adults for 1 year. A single daily dose of 150–220 mg/kg of recombinant IGF-1 was given with the largest meal, resulting in a fast catch-up growth in the head circumference from a mean of –3.3 ± 0.9 to +0.87 ± 1.8 SD and a slower catch-up in the linear growth as compared to that observed in GH-treated GH deficient children. The growth velocity of IGF-1 treated LS children in the first year of treatment was 8 cm/year as compared to 10–12 cm/year in GH deficient children. Only one of these children reached close to normal height.
Treatment of LS with twice daily subcutaneous injection of recombinant human IGF-1 (rhIGF-1, Mecasermin, Increlex®; Ipsen Pharma, Boulogne-Billancourt, France) costs more than 15 lakh Indian rupees/year of treatment for a child weighing 20 kg. The drug is also not readily available in our country. However, the response to recombinant IGF-1 therapy is variable. In one study, the height velocity increased from 2.8 cm/year at baseline to a mean of 8 cm/year during the first year of treatment and the height velocity remained above baseline for up to 8 years following initiation of IGF-1 therapy.
There are few reports of the use of rhIGF-1 in Indian literature. Boro et al. described their experience in the use of rhIGF-1 in two cases after obtaining special permission from the Drug Controller General of India (DCGI) to import rhIGF-1 (Inj. Increlex; Mecasermin [rDNA origin], Ipsen Pharma, France).
Case 1 was started on rhIGF-1 at a dose of 40 mg/kg twice a day for 1 week followed by 80 mg/kg twice a day. After the first year of treatment, her height increased to 106.5 cm (growth velocity of 6.5 cm/year). She gained another 5.5 cm during the second year of treatment but her response during the third year was unsatisfactory (growth velocity of 3.5 cm/year) which was attributed by the authors to the fact that her dose could not be adjusted due to resource constraints. She developed lipohypertrophy over her injection sites, but there was no episode of hypoglycemia or any other adverse effects.
Case 2 was started on rhIGF-1 at a dose of 80 mg/kg body weight/ day. After 6 months of treatment, her height was 101.5 cm that corresponded to a height velocity of 4 cm/year and after 2.5 years of treatment, her height was 110.3 cm which corresponded to a height velocity of 3.5 cm/year and −7.9 SDS. The authors mention that due to financial constraints and procurement difficulties, her treatment was not very regular and she missed doses in between. Similar to Case 1, this child also developed lipohypertrophy over injection sites, but without any episode of hypoglycemia or any other adverse effect.
In view of the costs of diagnosis and treatment besides variable outcome to therapy, one might argue that in a country like India, it might be challenging to diagnose, treat, and study the outcome in the children with LS. More such case series and studies on LS from Indian literature should emerge to improve our understanding of the disease.

Kavkazky Uzel correspondent Lyudmila Maratova reported on October 24 that Islamist separatists in Karachaevo-Cherkessia have stepped up their activities this fall and that the Karachaevo-Cherkessia jamaat may have been behind a series of murders of clergymen and law-enforcement personnel in the republic.
Maratova quoted Fatima Tlisova, the Regnum news agency’s chief editor for the North Caucasus, as saying that the Karachaevo-Cherkessia jamaat was the first jamaat in the North Caucasus to be set up as a fighting unit and that it had taken part in fighting federal forces in Chechnya. “Its leaders were the first to fall under repression,” Tlisova told Kavkazky Uzel. “They were accused of carrying out a series of large-scale terrorist acts on Russian territory – in Moscow, in Volgodonsk, and so on. [This apparently refers to the bombing of apartment buildings in 1999] Today, the Karachaevo-Cherkessia jamaat has no public leaders. They were either destroyed, like Ramazan Borlakov, or are on the wanted list, like Ashamaz Gochiyaev. The jamaat itself is operating underground, carrying out, in essence, guerrilla warfare. They have drawn up lists of individuals targeted for liquidation and are working through those lists. The tactics of ambush and guerrilla actions have been peculiar to this jamaat from the start.”
Tlisova said that not all of the murders that have apparently been carried out by the Karachaevo-Cherkessia jamaat have been reported. According to Tlisova, prior to the killing of Abdulkerim Khadzhi-Bairamukov, the imam of the Karachaevsk city mosque and former deputy chairman of the Muslim Spiritual Board of Karachaevo-Cherkessia, who was shot dead by a masked gunman in the Karachaevsk mosque on August 4, six other Muslim clerics were murdered. “The murder of an FSB officer in September of this year also did not receive publicity,” she said, adding that the Karachaevo-Cherkessia jamaat has claimed on its website that it has carried out “hundreds” of assassinations.
As Maratova reported, Magomed Khubiev, the administration chief of the village of Eltarach in Karachaevo-Cherkessia’s Ust-Dzhegutinsky district and a nephew of Karachaevo-Cherkessia republican leader Mustafa Batdyev, was killed on October 2 by unidentified attackers in masks who locked the other members of his family in a separate room and then beat Khubiev to death. The attackers stole money and jewelry, which led investigators to conclude that the murder was part of a robbery. However, according to Maratova, many observers question this conclusion.
On August 12, Ismail Batchaev, who had served under Abdulkerim Khadzhi-Bairamukov when Khadzhi-Bairamukov was deputy chairman of the Muslim Spiritual Board of Karachaevo-Cherkessia, was knifed to death in his yard as he was performing his ablutions in preparation for prayer. His wife and daughter were also hospitalized with multiple knife wounds. A 33-year-old inhabitant of the village of Pregradnoi of Karachaevo-Cherkessia’s Urupsky district was arrested and identified by Batchaev’s daughter as the attacker.
Abubakir Kurbizhev, the imam of the Kislovodsk mosque and deputy chairman of the Muslim Spiritual Board of Stavropol Krai and Karachaevo-Cherkessia, was also murdered. According to Kavkazky Uzel, Kurbizhev was in Karachaevsk shortly before his death, and had said during a sermon he delivered there that “Wahhabis” were the main enemies of Muslims and that the fight against them was the main task of Muslim clerics.
Following Kurbizhev’s murder, police in Kislovodsk came into possession of a list apparently compiled by the Karachaevo-Cherkessia jamaat of “condemned” imams “who had, in the view of those who compiled the list, collaborated with the FSB and also had practiced sorcery,” Maratova wrote. The list, she said, was found “in a car without license plates that was apparently abandoned by the imam’s killers. Across from the names of the murdered imams were check marks. There is also information that the murdered imams had been warned. They were repeatedly threatened.”
Along with pro-government clerics, the Islamic militants in Karachaevo-Cherkessia have also been targeting law-enforcement personnel, Maratova reported. A group of rebels specializing in assassinating law-enforcement personnel was apparently responsible for killing eight policemen and seriously wounding three in Karachaevsk starting in the summer of 2005. Yet while various media outlets reported that this group of militants had been destroyed, policemen in the republic continue to be targeted. On September 11, a 24-year-old officer of the patrol-sentry service (PPS) was murdered in his apartment, and another PPS officer was killed four days later when a group of officers was fired on after being called to investigate an incident. The shooter in that incident was apprehended.
Maratova quoted Luisa Orazaeva, a Moskovskie novosti correspondent who is working on a book about the October 2005 attack on Nalchik, as saying that an organized group similar to the one behind the Nalchik raid appears to be operating in Karachaevo-Cherkessia. “Apparently, KChR [Karachaevo-Cherkessia Republic] radicals have drawn lessons from the events in the KBR [Kabardino-Cherkessia Republic], when practically everyone who took up arms was destroyed,” Orazaeva said. “They have therefore chosen another path: the path of permanent terror, as in other republics of the North Caucasus – Ingushetia and Dagestan. There is indirect evidence that the North Caucasian jamaats are connected to one another.”
Orazaeva added: “Inhabitants of Chechnya who are on the federal wanted list for sabotage-terrorist activity are periodically detained in the KChR and in the KBR. On July 3, V.S. Umaltov, an associate of Chechen militant leader Shamil Basaev, who was on the federal wanted list, was detained in Cherkessk. He was the emir of Chechnya’s Nadterechny district and commanded a group of ten people. It was established that he had participated in sabotage-terrorist acts against the sub-units of federal forces in Chechnya’s Nadterechny district and in Ingushetia in 2002-2004. Recently in Nalchik, two Chechen militants were also detained and transferred to the law-enforcement organs of Chechnya. It is known what kind of role the Ingush Ilyas Gorchkanov played in the events of October 13 [the October 2005 Nalchik raid], not to mention Shamil Basaev himself. The links between the jamaats are necessary for the flow of weapons, without which underground terrorist activity would be impossible.”
Lyudmila Maratova of Kavkazky Uzel reported that the heads of the regional anti-organized crime directorate (UBOP) and regional FSB branch in Karachaevo-Cherkessia held a coordinating meeting in the office of the republic’s prosecutor on September 28, during which they complained that the anti-terrorist measures taken in the republic had clearly proven to be inadequate. On October 13, a new chief of Karachaevo-Cherkessia’s FSB, Valery Ostrovetsky, took up his duties.
Meanwhile, the Cherkessk city prosecutor’s office on October 26 ordered the closure of all the gambling establishments in the republican capital. A spokeswoman for the office said that the closures were the result of an inspection jointly carried out by prosecutors together with the city’s police department, which found that 25 of the 50 gambling establishments registered in the city were not operating in compliance with a new republican law governing gambling establishment, while the other 25 were not open and thus could not be inspected. | <urn:uuid:809e69fc-f4ed-4e7d-a980-b373910106f0> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jamestown.org/program/security-situation-worsens-in-karachaevo-cherkessia-2/ | 2023-09-23T18:54:44Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.978945 | 1,875 |
“We are all part of a family” and we get a beautiful look into the family of Miguel, played by Anthony Gonzalez, and his family of shoemakers. Miguel is an aspiring musician that wants nothing more than to play music without repercussions from his family. As Miguel sings, “This music is my language and the world es mi familia.”
I was nervous that Coco would be a lot like The Book of Life, but the stories are very different and give you a great look into Dia de los Muertos. The Day of the Dead is a special day that the living celebrate and remember those that have passed. In Coco, we get to see how the dead get to come back and visit their family if their picture is displayed on an ofrenda (altar). Disney•Pixar does a lot of research into its films, and you’ll find no lack of that for this story. The Day of the Dead is one of the most fascinating celebrations of life that I’ve learned about, so Coco kept me, and the girls entranced the whole time in this beautiful story.
Some of the fun facts that stuck out to me in Coco.
Easter Eggs – There are lots of great easter eggs that Pixar leaves in all of its movies. Some you will catch are the Pizza Planet truck, Toy Story / Monsters Inc pinatas, and a poster for The Incredibles.
Mexican heritage cameos – El Santo was a Mexican luchador, Frida Kahlo was a famous artist. You’ll also see Jorge Negrete & Pedro Infante, Cantinflas, Zapata & María Félix, and Michael Giacchino Cameos.
In the Land of the Dead, the only plants you will see are marigolds. Filmmakers learned during their research trips to Mexico that the color and aroma of marigold petals are believed to help guide the spirit of a family’s loved one home during Día de Muertos. One of my favorite aspects of the film were all the marigolds. I was ready for the theater to pipe the smell of the flowers in so we could feel like we were there.
All the skulls and bones – You’ll find skulls and bones everywhere. That first look at the Land of the Dead where you see the massive city and marigold bridges you’ll see the shape of skulls in the spaces, in the buildings and the stones. Before the film started you’ll get a behind the scenes look at the making of this scene and how much work went into it.
Dante the dog – Miguel’s loyal canine companion Dante is a Xolo dog—short for Xoloitzcuintli—the national dog of Mexico whose origins are deeply rooted in Mesoamerican civilization. The Xolo was regarded as the representative on Earth of the Aztec god Xolotl, the god of fire and lightning. Nearly hairless, Xolo’s also often have missing teeth, and for that reason their tongue naturally hangs out. Filmmakers wanted to include this into Dante’s design and have his tongue behave like a character itself. To achieve the look, they borrowed the rig used in “Finding Dory” for “septopus” Hank’s dynamic tentacles. Filmmakers invited local Xolo dogs to Pixar so artists could interact with the lovable dogs and study their anatomy. Xoloitzcuintli comes from the Aztec god Xolotl and the Aztec word for dog, Itzcuintli. Archaeological evidence found in the tombs of Aztec Indians, among others, indicates the breed may go as far back as 3,500 years. Many consider Xolo dogs to have healing abilities.
Handmade guitar – In “Coco,” Miguel recycles an old guitar, patching it up and painting it to mirror Ernesto de la Cruz’s signature guitar. But filmmakers knew that if they assigned an adult artist to do the design, it wouldn’t look right. Director Lee Unkrich called on his son to tackle the project and create the recycled guitar’s design.
Curveball – I love that Disney is throwing us serious curve balls when it comes to the villains in the stories. It happened in Frozen and Moana, you’ll get that again in Coco.
Coco is in theaters now. Don’t miss Olaf’s Frozen Adventure before the movie! | <urn:uuid:5d93157a-434f-4c42-9cb1-80d6b2344211> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jamonkey.com/7-fun-facts-disney-pixars-coco/ | 2023-09-23T17:20:04Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.959469 | 949 |
This wine bag completes the look of the bottle you bring as a hostess gift and it’s easy to make! You’ll need: a pair of old jeans, scissors, sewing machine and ribbon.
For this project we will use the top half of an old pair of jeans so cut off the legs first. Be sure to save the leg material scraps for other projects.
Using only half of the top of your jeans; cut a 15” x 12”square. To do that, cut up the inside leg and through the crotch area, and then cut around the zipper.
You won’t use the zipper on this design but be sure to include a front and back pocket… you can use these pockets later to add a cork screw or wine opener to your gift.
And now for the good news, you can get two wine bags from each pair of jeans! If you want to give it more character, add iron-on decals or embroidery to the pockets before you stitch up the base and sides.
Next, serge or zig zag the edges and then sew the bottom and side seams.
There you have it, old jeans with a new purpose and a great gift. | <urn:uuid:220638dd-83ae-4d87-982f-01cb8dafd103> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://janeclauss.com/portfolio/diy-denim-wine-bag/ | 2023-09-23T16:50:10Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.896456 | 254 |
I haven’t blogged in at least a week and I am so very sorry. I am still at the Edinburgh Fringe and the rain hasn’t stopped yet, so I am pissed off with it all. It really has made the Fringe really hard, the audiences have been coming in dripping wet, and I feel so sorry for them. Though they have been wonderful and I love the fact they still come to see me. I am lucky in a sense as my venue ‘The Pleasance Dome’ has inside queuing facilities and the audience can enjoy a hot coffee whilst they wait.
Each night I walk through the queue to my show, and watch out for kids. As adults have still been bringing young children to my comedy show, I have no idea why, as the show is clearly labelled for 16 years and over in the brochure.
Living at the Fringe is quite strange, the whole family have to decamp to a new flat and we all seem to fit in fine. Each person taking their own role in the circus that is my life, Ashley gets the Flyering done and husband looks after food and cleaning duties. I merely do the show.
I was a guest on a few other shows, like Late and Live, Spank and The Nicholas Parsons show. I also done a wee stint on The Hamilton’s Late Night Show. It’s all good fun and I am a bit dosed up with the flu.
The fringe has been awesome despite all the shit that goes with it, I have sold more tickets this year than any year I have ever been and that’s a pretty good achievement considering that most shows are having a hard time. The credit crunch, the Olympics and the weather have been against us from day one and don’t even mention the shit box office that failed to sell tickets.
I am still pretty chuffed that I won Nivea Funny Women Award as well. Some people have tried to diminish the award, being rather negative but as far as I am concerned, anyone who supports female comics is ok by me.
Being a seasoned performer at the Fringe makes me see things a wee bit clearer than the newcomers to the business. At the parties, you see stand ups chatting but staring over your shoulder to see if someone more interesting is standing close. Maybe a TV executive or major promoter could be within grabbing distance and you know your time with this person is over as their eyes start to glaze and they make a run for it to the more important person. You know you have a good pal in a comic when the continually make eye contact throughout your conversation.
Last week I had a good catch up with the funny Johnny Vegas and comedy legend Barry Cryer. Both funny men and good chatters, though the night was cut short as yet another rainy down pour put paid to outside fag break. I slipped off to go home and outside the venue heard two comics bitching about other people’s reviews.
The petty jealousies and sniping back biting always exists. Who got a comedy nomination? With cries of “Really, her? She is shit” ringing out through The Underbelly bar or who got a sell out show? “Why did he get an extra show? He is shit” Who got a five star review? “That sketch show is piss poor” That’s how life is at the Fringe.
This goes on constantly, and it can become weary. Yet the positivity and hopefulness still thrives all around us, not every one is having a bad day at the same time.
So it is now nearly all over. | <urn:uuid:eda2dd72-030b-484e-95a2-9dedaab22a4f> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://janeygodley.com/2008/08/24/getting-on-with-things/ | 2023-09-23T17:30:16Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.974826 | 772 |
My first chiropractic visit was March 09, 2021. It was also my first experience with a TENS unit, but I digress.
I really loved how professional and thorough this lady chiropractor was. Dr. Nikki Brown took her time, answered my questions and explained every move she made BEFORE she made it. My spine cracked and popped like almost nothing I’d ever heard. It did make me think of stomping on bubble wrap; times ten. WOW! Having grown up with the Southern expression, “I’m gonna wring your neck,” this takes on a whole new meaning at the chiropractor’s office. I just LOVE Parris Family Chiropractic.
I arrived limping and walked out with a nice smooth stride. The pain was nearly 100% gone and that was beyond wonderful. My legs are now both the same length. (Yes. My right leg was longer than my left.)
The TENS unit was its own unique-for-me experience. There were tingles, wiggly muscles, and a hard-to-describe, crawly feeling. It was almost like tiny puppy toenails trying to tickle my back. Some relaxing music would have been good. Too bad I don’t have an MP3. My OCD brain was struggling to know when the fifteen minutes would be up. And if you’ve never had a TENS experience, let me prepare you for just how cold those pads are when they touch your skin. It’s a lot like putting lotion on a sunburn. COLD…but warms up quickly. My next visit should be less intense.
Two days after my adjustment, the pain returned with a vengeance. For one night, it was awful. Then, the next week I was able to manage the pain with only Advil and aloe. Aloe is its own awesome remedy.
Did you now that aloe is an excellent anti-inflammatory? It boosts your immune system, detoxifies and it works as a carrier. This latter characteristic means an aloe-based lotion will give you better absorption into the skin. Emu oil is another carrier in skin-care products.
George’s aloe the best I’ve seen in many years. It looks and tastes like water. Placing an ounce of this liquid in my apple juice and then mixing my
powdered vitamin supplement makes for a delicious morning drink. My little rat terrier will beg for my morning drink. Maybe by adding aloe to the mix it will help carry the vitamins into my body in a more efficient manner. Can’t hurt.
I continue to learn and get better with every adjustment. — I hear a rat terrier calling my name. She is just over a year old now and is a very active, very spoiled fur baby. She’s a daddy’s girl, but I’ll save that story for another day. Until next time, I’ll be walking a little taller….and straighter! | <urn:uuid:31711f12-d995-4404-ac9d-0ff1d8d45ff8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://janicekennett.com/lets-get-crackin-chapter-one/ | 2023-09-23T17:02:26Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.967178 | 636 |
Hudson's First Citizen . . .
Present City Stands On Hill Purchased by Jan Franz Van Hoesen from Indians in 1662
(Complete Text Of Newspaper Article, January 26, 1961, Chatham Courier Newspaper)
(This is the first in a series of articles on early homes of outstanding architectural interest in Columbia County. During subsequent weeks, other residences will be visited and Columbia County has much to offer from the simple Dutch construction, through the Hudson River School of Architecture, Greek Revival homes to the gaudy "gingerbread" of the Victorian Period. Suggestions from readers outlining homes of unusual interest will be welcomed. Ed.)
If COLUMBIA COUNTY and the City of Hudson should designate its first citizen, the honor would be to Jan Franz Van Hoesen, a native of Holland who on June 15, 1662, purchased a tract of land from the Mohicans, the Indian tribe who had entertained Henry Hudson so hospitably at a point near Stuyvesant a half century before.
This tract included the ground which the City of Hudson is built and a portion of Greenport. It extended along the river from Stockport Creek on the North, to the mouth to Kishna Kill on the South, which empties into South Bay near Mount Merino, and on the East to Claverack Creek.
It is probable that Van Hoesen, who is said to have fled the Netherlands so he would not have to renounce his Protestant religion, thought only of the agricultural possibilities of the land along the flowing river. During all the years of his occupancy, he probably never imagined that a future city would rise from the hill where his fertile bouwerie was first established.
This vast acreage became the focal point of an early litigation, for no sooner had Van Hoesen received his grant, than Governor Dongan gave a patent covering the same land to Killian Van Rensselaer, grandson of the first patron at Fort Orange, now the City of Albany.
VAN HOESEN, also known as “Jan The Red Head,” is said to have had a fiery temper and he carried out a bitter and expensive litigation against the powerful and wealthy Van Rensselaers.’ Jan finally established title to his property and the Van Rensselaers were compelled to confine their operations east of the Claverack Creek.
The old patentee died about the year 1703 and among his children he left were Jurrien, Jacob Jans, Johannes and Catherine.
The lands were divided among his survivors and it was the division line which gives Hudson’s Partition St. it’s name One of the paths leading inland from the river to the interior farms was called the “Waggon Way,” which eventually became Columbia Turnpike, the present Route 66 leading to Gent and Chatham.
It is on the old “Waggon Way” that Deacon Kaspar Van Hoesen, one of the original signers of the Claverack Dutch Reformed Church charter, built a handsome brick house that still stands today just east of the old Bunker Bridge in Claverack township.
Kaspar, a descendant of the original patentee Jan Franz Van Hoesen, was so proud of this edifice that he had the inscription “K.V.H., 1729” placed on the north wall.
The home was subsequently occupied by the Ludlow and Benton families and today is the residence of Mrs. Minnie McKittrick, an alert little lady of 82 years, who has resided in the handsome old home since 1923. Her late husband, William McKittrick, who died in 1924, was a dairy farmer and a well known Columbia County poultry fancier.
Mrs. McKittrick recalls many stories told about her homestead. The tiny pink bricks in the masonry, about half the size of present day bricks, were made in Holland, she was told, and were used as ballast in a sailing sloop which made it’s way to Nieuw Amsterdam and eventually upriver to Claverack Landing.
In the cellar is a huge Dutch fireplace, the original iron work is still secured in the walls and throughout the entire structure from a huge attic to the cavernous cellar are exposed oaken beams.
The kitchen and living room were divided by Mr. McKittrick many years ago, but peeping out from either side of a partitioned fireplace are the handsome outlines of a delicately moulded Adams period mantle.
Wooden pegs instead of nails are found throughout the house and hand-turned screws are discovered frequently in the woodwork.
A few years ago, the New York State Education Department made a careful study of the 231-year old home and advised Mrs. McKittrick the 13-step stairs leading to a second floor were extremely unusual in their architectural beauty and simplicity. The first nine steps from a central hallway go up to a platform and then turn right angles where four more steps continue the stairway to the upper hall. Floorboards many almost two feet wide, are common. Old brass locks and latches and huge keys which originally bolted the doors against marauding Indians are still intact.
Several years ago, while exploring the cellar with her brother, Mrs. McKittrick discovered what she believed was a “secret passageway” leading from the interior of the house to the outdoors. Whether this would afford easy entrance to the home in the event of an Indian raid could probably only be determined by architectectural experts.
During Mrs. McKittrick’s lifetime the old home has been known as “The Colonial Farm” and it’s 100 acres along Claverack Creek are still tilled by neighboring farmers. It was not too many years ago, the old lady recalls, that great hickory woods abounded in the vicinity and her husband cut hickory posts which he piled near the roadside for sale to passersby.
Of particular interest to those who inspect the house, is a white plaster coating that has been placed over the front of the building. This is rapidly breaking off and underneath can be seen the pink Holland brick, it’s mortar of two centuries ago, still firm and intact.
The long, angular sloping roof is typical of the early Dutch architecture and only a few years ago, Mrs. McKittrick restored the supporting posts which were beginning to sag with the passing of time.
Several of the windows on the first floor have been replaced with modern glass, but four windows on the second floor still have intact, the original hand blown glass which has an almost blue tint in the sunlight.
Mrs. McKittrick admits she has had many offers to buy the handsome old structure but she has turned them down. “I’ll stay here as long as I can,” she says wistfully, “this old house is just too fine to leave.” When the house is sold, it can be fervently hoped that it will be restored to the grandeur of the days when Deacon Kaspar Van Hoesen watched the first pink bricks go into place almost two centuries and a half ago.

At a speaking engagement earlier this week, I somehow got on the subject of birdseed. This is a topic I am passionate about, as there really is a science to bird-feeding and attracting birds to your yard. Not all birdseed is the same, and not all birds eat seed.
American robins are a common bird in the Prescott area. Every once in a while, a customer will come into the store and ask, “I saw some robins in my yard. What kind of birdseed should I be using to keep them around?” The truth of the matter is, robins don’t eat birdseed!
Bird species preferring a seed diet typically have specific seed preferences. This is the time of year when homeowners want to enjoy having baby quail in their yard. We are frequently asked, “What is the best seed to attract quail to my yard?” The answer is white-proso millet. Fortunately, millet prices – and seed blends containing millet – have dropped a lot from last year. Providing millet is a fairly inexpensive way to attract ground-feeding bird species to your yard. Such species include quail, dove, towhee, junco and sparrows.
When a new customer comes into our store for the very first time and wants to buy birdseed, we always ask where he or she lives. Why is it important to know where the customer lives? The habitat determines what varieties of birds occur in each neighborhood, and we make seed recommendations based on habitat.
Most wild bird species are habitat specific. Different bird species occur in a grassland habitat compared to species in a chaparral habitat, or in a pinyon/juniper habitat, or in a ponderosa pine habitat. Knowing where an individual lives provides us with the information we need to know to make the right seed recommendation.
This is why all of our birdseed blends are mixed right here in Prescott by the amazing men and women who work at YEI! Each seed blend is formulated for the birds that occur in the different habitats that make up the Prescott area. Feeding the right kind of birdseed for where you live will result in attracting not only more birds, but also a wider variety of birds.
For example, the habitat in the Timber Ridge neighborhood off Copper Basin Road is a transition zone with both ponderosa and oak. By using the right seed blend, individuals living in this area can attract some of the following species to their yard: white-breasted and pygmy nuthatches, mountain chickadees, acorn woodpeckers, bridled titmouse and western scrub-jays.
Time of year is another important factor to consider. Knowing the dietary preference of birds in your area allows you to feed the right type of feed during each season of the year. You will see and attract different kinds of birds to your yard throughout the year as the seasons change.
Many backyard bird-watchers in the Prescott area are experiencing this right now as migratory bird species – such as lazuli buntings, western tanagers, black-headed grosbeaks and orioles – are showing up.
I visited a home earlier this week where the homeowners cater to not just seed-eaters, but also to birds preferring fruits and nuts. These homeowners put out grape jelly and fresh grapes and oranges to attract orioles and tanagers, as well as nut cakes for insect-eating birds. Many of our customers provide live mealworms for bluebirds. Also, providing water is always a great way to attract birds to your yard.
Until next week, happy bird feeding! | <urn:uuid:7e837b35-32d5-442f-a123-ff9b1288e406> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jaysbirdbarn.com/science-bird-feeding-2/ | 2023-09-23T17:47:18Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.948153 | 749 |
Rosh Hashana begins Friday night September 15th, through Saturday (Sept. 16) and Sunday (Sept. 17).
Q. Rosh Hashana, in addition to being the Day of Judgment, is also Rosh Chodesh, the first day of the month Tishrei. Why is there no mention in the prayers that it’s also Rosh Chodesh?
A. When the king visits a city together with his ministers, all the attention is given to the king. It would be disrespectful to the king if we diverted our attention from the king and gave special attention to his ministers while in the king’s presence.
Rosh Hashana is the day when we crown G-d as King of the universe. On Rosh Chodesh we pay special tribute to the reappearance of the new moon. Thus, it is not befitting that on the day when we accept and recognize G-d as King of the universe to also focus on one of His subjects and pay tribute to the reappearance of the moon. For this reason, the prayers of Rosh Chodesh are omitted.
Q. Why does the date for Rosh Hashana vary from year to year?
A. Rosh Hashana will vary from year to year only on the secular calendar. However, it is always on the same day in the Hebrew calendar – on the first day of the Hebrew month, Tishrei.
The reason it varies on the secular calendar is that the Hebrew calendar, which is lunar based, has around 354-355 days in the year. However, the secular calendar, which is solar based, has 365 days.
In order to keep the Jewish holidays in their proper seasons (Passover in the spring, etc.) adjustments are made in the Hebrew calendar. Every few years an extra Hebrew month is added, thus making it a 13-month year. In that case the Hebrew calendar will be over 380 days. But on average it has just over 354 days.
Thus, the Hebrew holidays, which are established by the Hebrew calendar, are different on the secular calendar from year to year.
Q. Why did the Torah set the first of Tishrei as Rosh Hashana – beginning of the New Year?
A. Rosh Hashana is celebrated on the sixth day of creation, the day in which Adam and Eve were created. The upkeep of the universe and fulfilling G-d’s purpose for His creation depends on mankind. It teaches us the special merit and at the same time the great responsibility we all have in making this world a better place.
The holiday of Rosh Hashana is unique in that it is celebrated two days in Israel just as in the Diaspora.
The first night of Rosh Hashana, we wish each other “L’shana Tova Tikateivu Vtaichateimu” – “May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.”
We don’t wish the same on the second night. The reason is because the Talmud tells us that, “The righteous people are immediately inscribed on the first day of Rosh Hashana, for good life.” To demonstrate that we consider everyone righteous, we wish “L’shana Tova” only the first day. To wish someone the same on the second night or day, would mean that we are in doubt whether they are righteous. It teaches us how careful we must be to view others in a positive way, especially on Rosh Hashana.
On Rosh Hashana, we eat different foods to symbolize our prayers for a sweet year. For this reason, we dip the Challa and apple in honey. We also eat foods which symbolize good things. For example, many people eat part of the head of a fish and declare, “May we, this year, be at the head!” In other words, we should be on top and not on the bottom.
Listening to the blowing of the Shofar on Rosh Hashana is a very important mitzvah. The sound of the Shofar on Rosh Hashana serves as a wake up call to return to G-d, for the sound of the Shofar reminds us that Rosh Hashana is the Day of Judgment.
Also, on Rosh Hashana we proclaim G-d as the King of the universe. At the coronation of a king, it is customary to blow trumpets. Through blowing the Shofar we declare G-d King of the universe.
Q. Why is it customary that the Rosh Hashana challahs (bread) are shaped round?
A. The round challah symbolizes the shape of the universe and remind us that the world is judged on this day. It also resembles the shape of a crown. This signifies that on this day we crown G-d as the king of the universe, as mentioned above.
Q. Aside from the practical application, is there any significance in the fact that the Shofar is blown from the narrow end while the wide end of the Shofar is pointing upward?
A. One of the verses from the Psalms recited before the sounding of the Shofar is, “Out of distress I called to G-d; with abounding relief, G-d answered me.”
The narrow side of the Shofar through which we blow represents our call of distress while the wide end of the Shofar represents G-d’s answering our call of distress with abounding relief.
HAVE A VERY GOOD, HAPPY, HEALTHY AND SUCCESSFUL DAY AND SHANA TOVA
On the first day of Rosh Hashana, after the Mincha service, it is customary to go to a body of water – a lake, river or stream that has fish in it and perform the Tashlich service.
Tashlich means “cast away”. The Tashlich service consists of different verses from the Bible and Psalms. After reciting the Tashlich service, we shake out our pockets (or the corners of our garments) over the water. This symbolizes the words of the prophet Micha: “And thou shall throw into the depth of the sea all your sins.”
Q. What is the symbolic significance of throwing away our sins at a body of water on Rosh Hashana?
A. The Midrash tells us that when Abraham went to offer Isaac as a sacrifice, Satan tried to intervene. So he put a river in their way to block their path. Abraham and Isaac continued walking, right into the river. When the water reached their necks, Abraham exclaimed, “Save us O Lord, for the waters have come to take my soul.” At that point, G-d ordered Satan to remove the obstruction. Tashlich, like many other Rosh Hashana customs, commemorates the acts of our forefathers. By reciting Tashlich near water, we recall the self-sacrifice of Abraham and Isaac and ask G-d to apply their merit in our favor.
Another reason: In Biblical times, it was the custom to anoint every king near a body of water so that his rule might flow smoothly and continuously like a river. Similarly, we say Tashlich by water for it is a time when we proclaim G-d as King of the universe.
Q. What is the significance of having fish in the water?
A. The reason we try to find a river that has fish for Tashlich: Fish have no eyelids, their eyes are always open. In the same way, we ask Hashem who, “neither sleeps nor slumbers” (Psalms 121) to watch over us continuously and bless us and our loved ones with a happy, healthy, and sweet year.
During the Middle Ages, ignorant peasants used the custom of Tashlich as an excuse for a pogrom against Jews. They claimed that Jews were casting a spell over the water or even poisoning it. As a result, the Rabbis would at times prohibit the practice of Tashlich for fear that Jewish lives would be endangered! Today, we can all celebrate this wonderful custom. If you cannot get to water on Rosh Hashana, you can perform the custom even after Rosh Hashana.
Q. Why is the Torah reading on the first day of Rosh Hashana about the miraculous birth of our patriarch Yitzchak (Isaac)?
A. Yitzchak was born on Pesach 400 years before the Exodus. He was born on the day that G-d would choose to take the Jewish people out of Egypt 400 years later. It was on Rosh Hashana that Sarah, at the age of 90, became pregnant with Yitzchak. Thus, we read about this miracle on Rosh Hashana.
Every Holiday has its unique mitzvah. The special mitzvah on Rosh Hashana is the blowing of the shofar. It is preferable that the shofar be made of a ram’s horn.
Q. What is the reason for blowing the Shofar on Rosh Hashana?
A. One reason is to recall the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai. The Torah tells us that at the Giving of the Torah at Mount Sinai, there was thunder and lighting and the sound of the Shofar.
Q. What connection does the Giving of the Torah have with Rosh Hashana – the day of judgment?
A. Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Barditchev gives the following parable: A king became lost in a forest. He wandered deeper and deeper in the woods, until he lost all hope of ever seeing his beautiful palace again. One day, he suddenly met a man who knew the way out of the forest and who helped him back to his kingdom and palace.
The king rewarded the man very generously and made him one of his closest friends. One day, the man sinned against the king. Knowing that he was about to be severely punished, the man asked of the king to grant him one wish–that he be allowed to wear the same clothes that he wore when he saved the king. The king agreed. As soon as the king looked at him, he remembered how the man saved his life. Immediately, this invoked feelings of affection by the king and he forgave the sinner and restored him to his position.
The same is with the Jewish people, when they stand before G-d in judgment on Rosh Hashana. When G-d wanted to give the Torah He approached many nations, but no other nation was willing to accept the restrictions and responsibility of the Torah and mitzvot. Only the Jewish people accepted the Torah and crowned G-d as their king. Sounding the Shofar on Rosh Hashana recalls the Giving of the Torah when the Jewish people were there for G-d. So too, we pray that G-d remember our merit and be merciful upon us to grant us a happy and healthy New Year.
Q. Why is a ram’s horn used for the Shofar?
A. Another reason for the sounding of the shofar on Rosh Hashana is to recall the merit of our patriarch Abraham who passed his tenth test when he was ready to sacrifice his son, Isaac, on the altar. In the end G-d told him it was only a test and he sacrificed a ram instead.
On Rosh Hashana, the day of judgment, we need as many merits as possible to invoke G-d’s mercy on His children. By sounding the Shofar made of a ram, we recall Abraham and Isaac’s merit for their total dedication to G-d’s commandments. We pray that in their merit, G-d will grant us, their descendants, a good, healthy and sweet year. | <urn:uuid:46a14c01-ae4e-4ca0-9c0a-2028dbae2de8> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jcscc.org/rosh-hashanah-5777/ | 2023-09-23T16:38:14Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.961004 | 2,489 |
Topic 10: Other Unique Ways to Boost Your Score and Pass the Bar
Take Pressure off of the MBE by Boosting Your Essay Score
Many bar examinees tend to worry a lot about the MBE and focus primarily on the MBE when they study. You may be falling into this trap if:
- You do not complete the assigned essays in your commercial bar prep course.
- You focus primarily on the MBE subjects and do not spend sufficient time studying the other subjects.
- You have goals like “answering 100 MBE questions a day” but do not have comparable essay goals.
- You have not written any Multistate Performance Tests (MPTs) or have spent comparatively little time preparing for the MPT.
- You tell yourself you can always “fake it” on an essay question.
However, the truth is that it is much easier for many examinees to substantially improve their essay score with comparatively little effort. Here are two graphs that illustrate the effort required to increase an MBE score compared to the effort required to increase an essay score.
So, the best approach to the MBE includes practicing essays! Not only are essays worth half of your total bar exam score in most jurisdictions, but many bar examinees see a big increase in their essay score with relatively little effort. This is because practicing past essays is not a task that is routinely emphasized by many commercial courses. Thus, if you practice past essays, your essays will look comparatively good next to the essays of students who have not practiced past essays, making it easier for you to earn a high score. This explains how some students see a big jump in their essay score without putting in significant effort.
Get Excited for the MBE!
This is our last—but important— tip!
A lot of examinees feel really anxious before the bar exam (which is understandable). And as a result, many examinees try to repress anxious energy by just trying to calm down. However, this is difficult to do! It is much easier to redirect that anxious energy into some positive energy!
So, here is a last-minute MBE tip to help you boost your bar exam score:
Say this one sentence to yourself to create positive self-talk: “I’m excited for the bar exam.” (Other variations include, “I’m excited for the MBE!” or “I’m excited to take this test and become a lawyer!”)
A study conducted at Harvard University showed that students who said “I’m excited!” before performing a task (rather than saying “I am calm” or not saying anything at all):
- Scored 8% better on a math test than a control group.
- Gave speeches that were considered better and more persuasive than the control group.
- Scored over 10% higher than a control group in a karaoke contest.
If telling yourself that you are excited about the bar exam has the potential to boost your score by 8%, that could make the difference between passing and failing!
So, get excited for the bar exam!!

This week was pretty trash. The government put in their strictest lockdown of covid and at the beginning they even gave cops the “power” to randomly stop people and give tickets if they left their home. Long story short the police said “no! You’re dumb” to the government so now it’s just a strict stay at home order and nothing is open. I got to see the Vega family though so that’s hype! Love those guys.
I wanted to share a cool concept that I learned while trying to answer a question from a guy we met. He asked what Joseph Smith meant when he said “plain and precious truths” were taken from the Bible. This was something cool Hyrum Smith said, “A mystery is a truth that cannot be known except through divine revelation—a sacred secret. … In our day such great truths as those pertaining to the restoration of the Priesthood, the work for the dead, and the re-establishment of the Church are ‘mysteries,’ because they could not have been discovered except by revelation.” Even though some things are simple to us they’re actually big mysteries to the rest of the world. I’m glad I’m blessed to understand them.

Beez Combat Systems (BCS) has a new AK47 specific chest rig available called the AK47 Low Profile Chest Rig. It features the ability to carry 5 AK47 magazines, a generous 14 column by 4 row field of MOLLE webbing, shock-cord pull-tab retention, and a large internal pouch for carrying various items. The included H-harness helps distribute the weight of 5 AK mags.
I really like the design of this rig. AK mags seem to work better in odd numbers when they are carried across your chest. The closer they are to your center line, the easier it is to deal with the curve and length of the magazine when drawing it from the pouch. I usually find the center 3 magazine pouches are easiest to reach. If I were running this rig, I would use the outer 2 mag pouches to feed the inner 3 when I was rotating ammo.
Steel AK magazines are somewhat heavy and can be very bulky when stacked on top of one another. This rig allows the shooter to carry 5 magazines without the need for stacked magazine pouches. This makes it about as low profile as you will find in an AK specific chest rig.
BCS tells me that they purposely designed this rig with very deep magazine pouches to better support the weight of the magazine. I would prefer a slightly shallower pouch for two reasons. The first is so that more of the magazine is exposed for gripping during reloads and secondly to allow the use of 20 round magazines. BCS is a custom shop, so they assure me that these modifications will be no problem. There are definitely perks to dealing with custom shops like BCS.
Even if the pouches were made shorter, there would still be plenty of room for mounting a blow out kit and some pistol mags. The large MOLLE field on the front of this chest rig should give you plenty of options for mounting additional pouches. Just be sure to resist the temptation to use every last inch of real estate.
It is great to see this kind of well thought out AK specific support gear coming to market as the AK itself continues to adapt and evolve. | <urn:uuid:c3672edc-fe50-4464-a742-d769b7a27a61> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jerkingthetrigger.com/2011/03/19/beez-combat-systems-ak47-low-profile-chest-rig/ | 2023-09-23T18:16:34Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.957021 | 444 |
I’ve been wearing a Harry’s Holsters Singleton since April of 2020. When I first started wearing it, it was with the intention of completing a review. Sometime around 4 months in… I realized I was wearing it by choice. I have other holsters for the G-17 I carry in the Singleton but they have been gathering dust.
The Singleton is a compact kydex IWB holster that serves as a sort of modular base for building your ideal holster. At its core, it is a kydex body that is made of two sections held together with eyelets near the trigger guard only leaving the sight track essentially open to allow a variety of sighting options. It also comes with the excellent Discreet Carry Concepts Monoblock Clip for 1.5″ belts.
The Singleton can also accept a number of accessories that can be purchased a la carte. This includes a neoprene wedge kit and the Dark Wing. It is also compatible with most other quality wings if you want to source your own.
This holster is completely ambidextrous, allowing the user to easily swap the Monoblock clip to either side for left or right side use.
Observations from Use
I purchased my Singleton for a Glock 17 and added all the optional accessories. Harry’s Holsters also included a clever prototype wing for me to check out that I may write more about in a future article.
In my time with the Singleton, I have used it for both regular IWB and AIWB carry. I initially set it up with just the Monoblock Clip for use as an IWB holster just behind the point of my hip. I found it to be comfortable in this role in large part due to the very compact size.
After that experiment, I began experimenting with a configuration that would work for my preferred AIWB carry position. This involved testing both the prototype wing, the Dark Wing, and various wedge setups with the Harry’s Holsters wedge kit. I found that both wings worked well and that I preferred to use them with a wedge pad. I added thread-locker to the hardware and this configuration is how I’ve worn it since the end of May.
The holster body itself is very compact and clever in its construction. It provides full coverage for the handgun including protection for the magazine release. It is made of two halves that are only joined by the trigger guard like you might find in a “minimalist” style holster. If you know kydex, you know the trigger guard is typically where a holster interfaces with gun that it holds providing the retention. By joining the halves near the retention point, Harry’s Holsters has created a holster that can provide consistent retention and a near infinitely accommodating sight track that is still very compact. It also provides plenty of clearance for most optics. It’s a clever design that works.
The holster body is set up for the Monoblock Clip. It is easy to use, easy to don and doff, and will never come off your belt until you intend. This clip setup allows for quite a bit of cant adjustment (20 degrees) right at the clip and can even be carried without a belt. Discreet Carry Concepts clips are game changers.
The wedge kit that is offered as an option works well for me. It includes everything you need including two different sized wedges so you can tailor how the Singleton carries to your preference. Harry’s Holsters warns that the wedge kit may be too small for the full sized holsters but I found it to be perfect. If you are planning on using this holster for AIWB carry, I recommend it. You can probably skip it for IWB carry nearer to the hip.
The Dark Wing is a great holster wing. It does a great job of turning the butt of the gun in toward the wearer which I find to be a must-have for AIWB carry. If you want to source your own wing, the eyelet spacing is industry standard and will fit pretty much any wing worth having.
The Singleton conceals very well in a variety of carry methods and it exhibits very good quality – crisp molding, excellent blocking to ensure a smooth draw and positive retention, and well-finished edges. The retention level is set perfectly from Harry’s Holsters with no need to adjust.
If I could change something, I would ask Harry’s Holsters to lean even further into their compact design and reduce the flared portion of the holster that protects the wearer from the sights. This area seems like it could be much more compact which would further reduce the footprint of this already compact holster. The good news is they have already done this.

A member of my family sent me the following article, by Janis Ian:
I can’t believe people don’t see the parallels. No one thought the National Socialist German Workers Party would “allow” Hitler to do what he did. No one believed that kristallnacht would lead to Auschwitz. Everyone said “the party will stop him”, “the courts will stop him”, “there’s a process in place that will stop him”.
The Republican party’s active encouragement of “tea party” misbehavior, the party’s belief that they could “control” Trump, their turning a blind eye to his continuing egregious behavior, have landed us here.
Despite his disgusting, immoral, unethical, misogynistic behavior, despite his failure after failure as a business person, despite his refusal to give a hoot about the people working for and under him, Republicans like Ryan and Corker went ahead and supported him – first, in the hope that they’d keep their own jobs intact, and second because they made the spurious argument that “I don’t support him. I support the Republican Party.”
Well, what is the Republican Party, or for that matter the Democratic Party? It’s the people IN it. Not the flags, not the banners, not the party hats, but the people.
Now, Ryan finally says he’s had enough. John McCain says he’s finally had enough. Personally, I suspect the only reason most of the politicians deserting Trump are doing so is because their wives have finally had enough. Apparently nothing else mattered enough, or at least, nothing else mattered as much as their own political hides.
I’m no Hillary Clinton fan. If you’d told me a year ago that I would be supporting her, I’d have laughed in your face. But I refuse to vote for a third-party candidate who will do nothing more than deliberately split the vote, and throw this country to the dogs.
I’m not twelve years old any more. I don’t have to like my candidate. I just have to trust that they’ll do their job, behave in a rational manner, treat other world leaders – heck, treat everyone! – with respect, and provide a decent example for my granddaughters. I have to believe that at 3 in the morning, when they’re bored pushing buttons to tweet one last vindictive remark, they won’t push some other buttons and plunge us into a nuclear holocaust.
I have heard people say “I trust in the impeachment process” as an excuse to vote Trump into power, knowing he shouldn’t get within a mile of the White House. I have heard people say “Yeah, he scares me, but I support the Republican Party, and he’s my candidate.” I’ve even heard people say “He’ll put money in my pocket. He knows how to do that” and “He has a secret plan – that’s why he won’t reveal it, because the Democrats would steal it” about everything from health to economics. Bullshit. Bullshit. Bullshit. The only secret plan any of these people have is to stay in power. Period.
As to supporting a candidate because you support the party, well, welcome to the National Socialist German Workers Party, folks. A/k/a the Nazis.
Doesn’t anyone read history any more?
Shame on us. Shame on all of us, for standing by and letting this happen. Shame on every single person who doesn’t vote, shame on every single politician who would rather keep their seat than do what’s right, and shame on us for continuing to vote these people into office. Across the board, not Republican or Democrat. Across the board. Shame on us.
I’ll admit that back in the day, I thought Ian was super hot, but comparing Trump to Hitler? Give me a break! Not that this wasn’t predictable. Every time the Establishment Left doesn’t like somebody, they compare him to Hitler. It’s a tired cliché.
I don’t keep up much with the election; personally, I don’t really like either major candidate. But at least Trump isn’t as enthusiastic about eliminating white people as Clinton is, so I’ll vote for him.
I asked my family member to provide me some anti Semitic quotes that Trump has let escape from his (admittedly) loose lips, but she couldn’t provide me with any. So I did a quick search and found an article from Forward.com. It listed five “cringe-worthy” quotes from Trump:
1) Jews are Hagglers “I know why you’re not going to support me. You’re not going to support me because I don’t want your money …Look, I’m a negotiator like you folks, we’re negotiators.”
2) One of My Favorite Daughters is Jewish “I want to thank my Jewish daughter. I have a Jewish daughter…This wasn’t in the plan but I’m very glad it happened.”
3) How ‘Bout That Jon Leibowitz — I Mean Stewart “I promise you that I’m much smarter than Jonathan Leibowitz – I mean Jon Stewart @TheDailyShow. Who, by the way, is totally overrated.”
4) Debbie Wasserman Schultz is “Neurotic” (Read: Jewish Woman) “This is a woman that is a terrible person,” Trump said of Democratic
National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz after calling her “crazy” and a “highly neurotic woman.”
5) Not That I’ve Actually Read Hitler… “If I had these speeches, and I am not saying that I do, I would never read them.… My friend Marty Davis from Paramount gave me a copy of Mein Kampf, and he’s a Jew.”
None of those can be even remotely considered “anti Semitic” comments. Lame attempts at humor? Perhaps. References to old Jewish stereotypes? Perhaps. I’ve know many Jews, including myself, who are “guilty” of the exact same thing. Yes, Jews do joke about Jewish stereotypes. Yes, Jews do make jokes (sometimes bad ones) at the expense of other Jews.
As for #4, we’ve got to wonder if the term “anti Semitic” has any meaning if it can be applied to any person who says something negative about an individual who happens to be Jewish. That would make just about everybody anti Semitic.
Does reading Mein Kampf make somebody an anti Semite? Well… does reading Das Kapital make somebody a communist? Does reading the Qur’an make somebody a Muslim? How silly!
Until Trump proclaims his hatred of Jews, or calls for our extermination, we should refrain from calling him an anti Semite. | <urn:uuid:d97a8806-61ce-4be4-91c8-4f9df7fff3ba> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jewamongyou.com/2016/10/10/is-trump-an-anti-semite/ | 2023-09-23T17:40:27Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.959069 | 1,525 |
Few have tried to defend today's romantic comedies, maybe because in that category, money does most of the talking. Still, here is producer Lynda Obst striking out on their behalf — and, apparently, against New York Times critic Manohla Dargis.
Obst, whose producing credits include How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Hope Floats, One Fine Day, and Sleepless In Seattle, bemoans the fact that Kathryn Bigelow's success last year "set off a torrent of sniping among the chattering class of women critics. Instead of celebrating this year's impressive box office numbers, and our all-too-few female directors (and even fewer writer-directors), it served as a launching pad for attacks on the romantic comedy."
She never names these critics, though Dargis's is the only negative criticism of the genre she links to. She wonders, "Are the critics who belittle these movies dyspeptic? Are they self-hating women? Are they other-women-haters who want to be the only woman on the tennis court (as we used to say in the '80s)?" Perhaps you can't blame Obst for taking it personally. After all, outside the politer confines of The New York Times — right here, in fact — this is what Dargis had to say to explain why romantic comedies suck:
One, the people making them have no fucking taste, two, they're morons, three they're insulting panderers who think they're making movies for the great unwashed and that's what they want. I love romantic movies. I absolutely do. But I literally don't know what's happening.
There is a key distinction here — between romantic movies as a genre, and romantic movies as they are being made now. (And, of course, romantic movies as the sole province of women, but that's another story.)
Unlike previous commentators complaining that Bigelow's embrace was a just-one-of-the-guys brand of sexism, Obst doesn't reject Bigelow's work as a sign of women's advancement. But she is willing to go further than just calling romantic comedies "organic" and "life-affirming":
Romantic comedies are having a grand moment, and young and older women have returned to the habit of movie-going, which means that studios, producers, movie stars, and starlets can actually make them...One of our jobs is to keep women working, which we do by keeping women coming to the movies. And doing that means making good, smart, often funny movies that women can identify with—with terrific dialogue we all remember and cherish, and stories that illuminate our lives and decisions and turning points.
It all sounds so good, in theory. A few of the movies Obst has made indeed qualify for those descriptors. And you will find plenty of Nancy Meyers and Nora Ephron defenders on this site and elsewhere. But let's take a look at the romantic comedy successes Obst names, in this case the ones aimed at the younger set of female views: Valentine's Day, The Ugly Truth, and He's Just Not that Into You. Is anyone willing to argue that these are anything but cynical manipulations of gender stereotypes, pale and materialistic shadows of the "good, smart, and often funny" romantic comedies that existed in the past? Does anyone remember, let alone cherish, a shred of dialogue from these synthetic concoctions? Even her own friend and occasional collaborator Nora Ephron was hard-pressed to name a romantic movie of the last 15 years worth a damn.
That these tales are now being financed by the studio system reflects the fact that our audience loves seeing themselves not as girlfriends, or sluts, or baggage, or dumb hos (as in Heather Graham's hilarious Hangover girlfriend), but as protagonists with real dialogue, and jokes we are not the butt of.
Many of the female archetypes of the romantic comedies — often needy, male-obsessed creatures with personal lives that are mere window dressing before the guy shows up — are hardly better representations of women. Here is another example of a false choice:
Do you really prefer the female characters in Judd Apatow or Kevin Smith movies? Or perhaps the indie chimeras in movies like 500 Days of Summer? Are those really characters you identify with? Really?
Not really. But I'm not convinced that nearly all of the romantic comedies of the last decade or so provide much of an alternative. It's not that people think they're terrible because they feature women. It's just that they mostly are terrible. (And often bad for women.)

Search engine optimization for social media is a new and evolving world, and figuring out how to bring it all together is still like finding your way in a forest (or New York City) without a compass.
Today, following my guest lecture for an NYU graduate class on SEO and Social Media, one of the students presented a great question: is it possible to get all the twitter accounts for all the top managers at a company to show up in the search results for that company? My on-the-spot answer was “I’m not sure”, but I said I’d find out more.
Your Brand on Twitter is YOU, Not Your Company
After I got home from my trip to the city, I started searching around, both for people who had possibly written on this topic, and doing some tests of my own using sites and people who I know to have pretty strong presences on Twitter.
I didn’t find any definitive writings on the subject, but some limited testing did yield some answers. It appears Google does not connect and group multiple twitter accounts for people at the same company or brand all on the same search results page. In fact, in my testing, I searched for a small company where the principal is very active in social media, especially twitter, yet in the search results for the company, her twitter account did not show up. This is despite the fact that even on her About page, she mentions her Twitter account. I got similar results for a prominent web media firm. Search for the brand name, and none of the contributing writer’s Twitter accounts show up, despite the fact that each of their bio pages has a link to the writer’s Twitter account.
However, if you search for a person with an active social media presence, for example the above-mentioned small business entrepreneur, you will probably see: their twitter account, their company web site, their Facebook profile, their LinkedIn profile, and any other social media results that may involve them.
So it would seem that Google does not connect people’s social media accounts to their company, despite how you may try to connect them with the proper keywords and links. At least, not today; who knows what Google will do with social media connections in the future.
How to Aggregate Your Company’s Social Media Content
Of course, remember as I mention in my SEO presentation, depending on how you implement the Twitter feed, the content of that feed may or may not (often the latter) actually be indexed as part of the content of your page. But even if it is not, at least all your social media content will be visible to site visitors in one place.
What have you found? Have you figured out a way to aggregate all your company’s social media content in search results? | <urn:uuid:76178c2d-f1ec-45c4-b9c5-847eb86c64eb> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jg-marketing.com/getting-social-media-results-with-your-web-site-results/ | 2023-09-23T17:51:54Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.942648 | 674 |
A Micro Fiction: Watch Your Step
A few weeks ago a close friend of mine told me a rather funny story of something that had happened to her at work. I confess I laughed quite a bit at her unfortunate tumble, and had such a splendid mental image I had to write a quick little story about it.
Thus, without further ado, I hope you enjoy Watch Your Step.
The Jade Writer Girl
– – –
She trailed ahead of them, weaving her way through the long brownish green grasses with a graceful ease her companions envied.
The summer sky was bright and vividly blue, speckled with scattered stark white clouds. Sunlight shone in rays, casting dappled colours of contrasting light and shadows over the small group of wanderers.
‘You should slow down,’ called Tim, almost tripping over a concealed log as he and his best friend trailed after the girl bouncing along ahead of them.
She twirled, throwing her hands wide and her head back. Wild blonde curls flew about her face and Tim was sure that this was precisely why so many boys (and some girls) fell in love with her. She was the only person in the world who could make him think that, maybe, fairies really did exist. If they did, she would be one of them.
Green eyes, bright with the spirit of exercise, fixed on him. She traipsed backwards, hands trailing through the tops of the grass.
Next to Tim, Ant staggered, his foot catching in a ditch. He grabbed hold of Tim, fingers digging in hard as he almost fell.
‘Why, she says,’ Ant muttered, blue eyes flashing up to Tim in exasperated fondness.
Ahead, the fairy-in-disguise, danced along. She skipped across two creeks, her ease carrying her across the water with barely a splash, while Tim’s graceless and impatient nature had him stomping through the water without a care for the soaking of his boots. Two steps behind him, Ant cursed, slipping over the rocks and almost tumbling into the water.
‘The trick is,’ she said, waltzing on ahead of them, casting a quick look over her shoulder at them. ‘to have confidence in your feet.’
Not a moment after she had finished speaking she vanished. For a moment Tim thought she really had become a fairy, vanishing into the summer afternoon within a beam of sunlight, not a single blonde curl left in sight.
A second later he heard her shriek of surprise. Abandoning Ant’s struggle through the brush, Tim darted forward to find his lost fairy-girl.
He broke through the grass to find her staring up at him, a stunned look on her freckled face. ‘I fell into a hole,’ she said, green eyes as wide and astonished as her voice.
A grin cracked Tim’s face, without a though to helping her out of the hole, he began to laugh.
‘Confidence in your feet,’ he chortled as Ant caught up to them. ‘Ant, Ant look…she fell into a hole! And not just a hole…it’s huge! Hehehe.’
‘Oh for heavens sake, Tim. Help her out, would you?’
Tim stepped back, still cackling, as Ant tried to yank her out. As she scrambled up out of the cavernous hole, Ant’s foot hit a rock and they both went tumbling. They crashed straight into Tim and the lot of them (Tim still laughing) went tumbling into the earth.
Tim’s laughter became infectious, and soon the three of them were giggling like children in the grass.
‘I guess,’ said Tim, once his laughter had subsided a little. ‘I guess even fairies fall over sometimes.’
Immediately the bubbling sound of her laughter ceased, and her head popped up into Tim’s view. ‘There are fairies here?’ | <urn:uuid:dd7e9948-f6c1-415e-94df-08786b242c53> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jhmitchell.com/writing/a-micro-fiction-watch-your-step/ | 2023-09-23T18:01:41Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.982026 | 882 |

Breakthrough science can lead both to great good and to great evil. The September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the anthrax letter attacks that followed highlight the fact that our enemies may use our own advanced science and technology against us. When the dissemination of scientific information might jeopardize national security, the federal government’s primary response has always been to try to control the spread of that information. In a variety of ways, the government has long restricted public access to scientific information in the government’s possession. Since September 11, the government has further tightened access to its own information, withholding from public view not just classified data but also so-called “sensitive” information, the release of which it says could pose a danger to national security.

I have rededicated this site to praying through the New Testament Letters starting with Paul’s Letter to the Roman Church. Every bit of scripture is, also in the words of Paul 2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
So as we read through the letters we will use the topics and ideas as foundations for scriptural prayers for our own lives as well as for those around us; both saved and unsaved.

Penny was a very troubled person, before I knew her. She was a bright woman who had been married three times, a mother of three who was on heavy prescription meds that she would abuse, a secretary and a hairdresser, she needed counseling and a halfway house with a 12 Step program so she could stabilize her moods before re-entering the workforce. She needed all kinds of services just to function.
She should have never been allowed to join Peoples Temple.
A week or so prior to attending her first church service and meeting Jim Jones, Penny had reported her son to the FBI for his smoking pot. When she joined the church, I can only imagine Jones’ alarm about her relationship with the FBI. He probably decided if she would report her son to the FBI, that she would be loyal to him. She would walk around church and write up Temple members and then pester Jones throughout Sunday services as well as during the week. Temple records recovered from Jonestown showed she continued the practice all the way into 1978.
I met her for the first time following a church service in Los Angeles, after Bonnie Beck told me that Jim would appreciate my befriending her. I was new to the Temple, and despite our 18-year age gap, Penny and I became somewhat close, but there was a price tag on our relationship. I had to rush her to SF General at least twice to get her stomach pumped from prescription drug overdoses. And among the dozens of times when she would dye her hair yet another time in the space of a month, I knew her to be approaching yet another breakdown.
I knew her for two-to-three years. When she left for Jonestown, I was relieved. I had come to think I was on permanent suicide-watch.
In the decades since, I have come to imagine her as a Jonestown survivor, living a life with poise and balance, and in a profession where she could follow her passion: reporting people who break the rules and need to be written up.

Section A-31 consists of 376 pages. It is one of a series of 20 FBI Sections, ranging from 43 through 62, labelled in the Guyana Index with the “Financial” designation. The complete PDF for this section as released by the FBI is here.
The FBI placed many of the Peoples Temple corporate papers recovered from Jonestown into this folder, A-31. The documents range from the Temple’s Articles of Incorporation in California in 1965 through the Articles of Association in Guyana in 1975. Each document is duplicated several times in this section.
The following items are listed in chronological order. Each description is linked to the page where it appears as a Primary Source.
The folder does include other financial documents, which appear immediately following.
The remaining pages from this pdf are described below. The citation for these documents should open with the FBI’s official designation of these records, which is “RYMUR 89-4286-A-31.” Most of the pages in these records have a unique number. Page 273 of this section, for example, is marked “A-31-e-1a”. The complete citation for that page, then, would be “RYMUR 89-4286-A-31-e-1a”. | <urn:uuid:23fe4808-ea1e-45b0-a13c-bba99f18f3e3> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://jonestown.sdsu.edu/?page_id=87872 | 2023-09-23T18:45:58Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.94166 | 274 |

Lemon tart without baking
published by Ioana Serea on 7 June 2021
I love cakes without baking because, guess what, it takes a little while to prepare them, and, as I'm a fan, easy and quick foods to make, well, you imagine, that what is without baking is to my liking 100%.
The recipe of Tart with lime and condensed milk is by far in the top of my preferences and I said, why not, to try with lemon instead of lime 😀
Both tarts are dementially good, and the difference between them is the intensity of the flavor: the one with lime has an intense taste, very intense I would say, while the one with lemon is a little more moderate in flavor, and somehow, it seems even sweeter!
For the countertop:
- 250 g digestive biscuits (not another type of biscuits, that they behave differently, and you risk not going out)
- 100 g melted butter – minimum 82% fat
- 1 linguca carob (roscove powder)
For the cream:
- juice and peel from 2 bio lemons
- 400 g sweetened condensed milk (not condensed coffee milk)
- 250 ml liquid sour cream (minimum 30% fat)
We make the biscuits breadcrumbs, mix them with carob and butter, then sprinkle them in a tart tray with removable walls.
We mix as follows: condensed milk, sour cream, blade juice and stir until we get a creamy composition (with a whisk, spatula or a few seconds with the mixer – just until mixed).We put the cream over the biscuit countertop, then, optionally, we add the lemon zest (only the yellow part, not the white part)
We leave in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
Enjoy the kitchen! | <urn:uuid:50892d74-317b-44e2-b9de-6c647d3c5e71> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://josbabyrecipes.com/uncategorized/tart-with-lemon-without-baking | 2023-09-23T18:45:59Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.938044 | 386 |

Main Article Content
Background: Cholestasis is a disorder of the formation or flow of bile. Among its contributors, tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α stands out as the most influential inducer of apoptosis. Meanwhile, ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) is a valuable agent with choleretic properties, protecting the hepatobiliary system. Glutathione (GSH) enhances endothelial response and prevents liver fibrosis
Objectives: This study evaluates the effect of a combination of GSH-UDCA on splenic TNF-α expression and apoptosis index in Sprague Dawley (SD) rats with cholestasis
Methods: This experiment with a post-tests-only control group design involving 28 male SD rats. They were randomly into four groups: group (K) with 20 mg UDCA, group 1 (P1) with 10 mg UDCA + 10 mg GSH, group 2 (P2) was given UDCA 20 mg + GSH 15 mg, and group 3 (P3) was given UDCA 30 mg + GSH 20 mg. Cholestasis was obtained by ligation of the common bile duct through a laparotomy. During three weeks of trial, rats were administered daily with UDCA orally and GSH intramuscularly. On day 22, rats were sacrificed and spleen samples were taken for anatomical pathology examination.
Results: There were significant differences in TNF-α expression between groups K vs P3; P1 vs P3, and P2 vs P3 (p=0.002). There was a significant difference in the apoptotic index between groups K vs P1 (p<0.001); K vs P2 (p=0.004), and K vs P3 (p=0.005).
Conclusions: The UDCA-GSH combination demonstrated a prophylactic effect in SD rats with cholestasis and might be an effective supplemental therapy with UDCA for cholestatic diseases. The difference in TNF-α expression and apoptotic index was lower in SD rats UDCA-glutathione combination group than single dose UDCA. Between TNF-α and the apoptotic index, there is a moderate positive relation. | <urn:uuid:355c0f15-a44c-4ba3-af54-a0a095f8b858> | CC-MAIN-2023-40 | https://journal.uii.ac.id/JKKI/article/view/28100 | 2023-09-23T17:31:37Z | s3://commoncrawl/crawl-data/CC-MAIN-2023-40/segments/1695233506528.19/warc/CC-MAIN-20230923162848-20230923192848-00698.warc.gz | en | 0.923495 | 474 |
