Art Fair Tokyo 2012
Tokyo International Forum
This event has ended.
We are pleased to announce that ART FAIR TOKYO 2012 will be held over in the coming cherry blossom season, and that for the second consecutive year we welcome Deutsche Bank Group as the Main Sponsor. The fair will present artworks from a range of genres and periods, including antiques, crafts, nihonga, modern art and the latest contemporary art as always, and will feature a total of the more than 160 participating galleries and cooperating partners from Japan and overseas.
This year, ART FAIR TOKYO 2012 is expanding our venue, taking up all of the Tokyo International Forum Exhibition Hall aiming for further development with fascinating programs and related-events. Launched in 2011 as an experimental exhibition, "Artistic Practices" becomes a special section this year retracing Japanese art history with high-quality works ranging from antiques to contemporary art and projects.
Having our international vision of "Tokyo as a city within Asia", we proudly launch "Discover Asia" – a new section where prominent galleries from Asian major cities, such as Seoul, Taipei, and Beijing, participate at ART FAIR TOKYO 2012 along with museums and Japanese galleries that have been receiving an international acclaim.
In addition, as the "PROJECTS" section is setting up within the Exhibition Hall this year, the section not only features the usual participations of international young galleries, but has a new section, "project in PROJECTS", which dynamically presents the large-scale works of the latest Asia-Pacific art going beyond the confines of a regular booth.
Through the course of the event, ART FAIR TOKYO 2012 hosts many original programs and new related-events in collaboration with the other creative industries, such as "food" and "fashion".
It is our hope that all of you enjoy a unique experience to discover the joys of "purchasing art".

Overcome improvement costs with cheap dual fuel supplier deal
Finding a deal with a cheap dual fuel supplier is one way for customers to attempt to lower the amount they pay for their energy each month.
At the moment, a "cocktail of costs" could be pushing up the price of heating and lighting buildings across the UK.
Consumer Focus is urging Ofgem to ensure customers are not asked to simply write a "blank cheque" to fund improvements to the country's energy network.
The organisation admits advancements are needed as the UK strives to be more efficient, but the costs involved are huge and should not be met entirely by the public.
One way to offset any charges for upgrades to the national energy system may be to sign up to a deal with a cheap dual fuel supplier that offers electricity and gas at a favourable rate.
Latest statistics from the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development show the cost of energy in the UK rose by 4.8 per cent in the year to August 2010.

I was up in Washington late last year at a conference, about thirty medical students went up to the Hill to play constituent lobbyist for Obama's Healthy Places Act.
Senator Obama came and chatted us up, for what seemed a surprising long time for a Senator dealing with non-constituents, non-donors. He was probably hanging out with us for a half hour – talking and fielding questions.
And Yeah, He's Charming
He was surprisingly knowledgeable (it is sad I'm surprised by such) about the workings of the American health care system. After listening to him speak I have no doubt he's as knowledgeable about even obscurer policy issues.
As this Slate article points out the man knows his policy. His campaign apparently just isn't acting like it.
The biggest knock on Barack Obama is that he's short on substance.
But putting out detailed white papers isn't the only way to show your substance. Obama likes to strut his policy stuff by playing the professor. After 10 years teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago and several before that running meetings as a community organizer, he's highly skilled at talking to an audience in a way that exposes his knowledge. He did this at the two health-care forums he moderated last week.
Obama had clearly done his homework on this subject. He regularly offered facts: Two-thirds of the uninsured are employed; 20 percent to 30 percent of the $2 trillion spent annually on health care goes to paperwork and red tape. He occasionally referred to index cards to prompt the audience with questions about employer-based plans or their tolerance for possible tax increases. He appeared to be listening so intently that he neglected to laugh when one of the speakers made a joke.
As Slate points out the biggest knock is that knowing the problems is one thing, offering solutions is quite another.
We're not electing a president to run a seminar. That Obama has to hold them to show he's serious only reminds voters that he doesn't have a lot of national political experience.
As for when we might see him turn his understanding of health care issues into a plan of action?
Obama has promised a plan in a few weeks, and the bar is high for him. He has two tasks beyond the obvious challenge of coming up with a workable system for universal care that isn't the same as someone else's.
I can't imagine myself buying into his forthcoming plan for America's health care (or voting for the man), but I'll give him his due respect.
And whatever my opinion, clearly some health professionals are jumping on board…without knowing the details.

The Health Foundation is undertaking raising funds for new state of the art digital mammography equipment with tomosynthesis capability for the regional hospital in Yorkton
This will be the first equipment of its kind in Saskatchewan; we will be setting the new standard for the province, explained Foundation executive director Ross Fisher at the regular meeting of Yorkton Council Monday.
Fisher attended the meeting to ask the City to consider a donation of $5,000 to help bring this new technology to the regional hospital in Yorkton.
The equipment will have a cost of just over $500,000, but the technology is proven to diagnose cancer earlier and more accurately. It will save lives, explained Fisher.
Fisher further detailed in a letter to Council, "Tomosynthesis is a key step forward in breast cancer detection technology. It will save live. It will detect cancers that our existing equipment cannot, and it will detect other cancers and lesions earlier than our current mammography equipment.
"The purchase of this equipment is also necessary to continue the breast screening program here in east central Saskatchewan. The breast screening program in Yorkton is busy, averaging over 5,000 women annually. At present, the only proven method of reducing breast cancer deaths is early detection. That is why breast screening is conducted."
The issue with breast cancer detection is that some women have denser breast tissue than others. Dense tissue can block the test or obscure the image created by breast screening. With tomosynthesis tissue density does not matter, an accurate diagnosis is provided.
For women, breast cancer is the most common non-skin cancer and the second leading cause of cancer related death. One-in-eight women will contract breast cancer in their lifetime. One-in-27 women die from breast cancer.
Fisher said the Foundation is approaching the municipalities in this area to make a contribution as this equipment will obviously affect all families, adding it is hoped municipal support will spearhead the fundraising effort.
While Councillor Aaron Kienle noted he felt some concern in setting precedent in making such a donation, he and the rest of Council were unanimous in making the requested donation.

Waste Solution
Waste mismanagement is a growing issue in the Philippines, causing a severe decline in the quality of life in poorer areas of the country. Our goal is to provide the means for community members of those areas to act towards better waste management. This will be through organizing a committee of volunteers outfitted with movable trash containers that will see to people practicing proper waste management. With this solution, we hope to provide environmental, social, and economic benefits to the areas.
Executive Summary
We are proposing to implement a committee of community volunteers, similar to the Pag-asa sa Basura, that will coordinate the use of mobile waste bins for trash collection throughout the harder-to-reach areas of the Sto. Niño Sur and Norte barangays near the Batiano River. The committee will consist of a certain number of members who will be rotated after a period of time. A leadership committee containing permanent members, responsible for recruitment and delegation of tasks, will be chosen amongst active members. The main responsibilities of this committee would be to (1) routinely go to residences in the morning and allow people to dispose of their trash in transportable containers (different colored and labeled containers will be used for organic waste, recyclables, and non-recyclables), (2) bring the containers to the main road (Oton Boulevard) and let the garbage be collected by the General Services, and (3) enforce proper waste management by educating and speaking to community members. This innovation to waste mismanagement will be delivered as a social enterprise, in which assets will be expended for the benefit of the community and the sustainability of their efforts. The innovation may receive government funding and donations, which would be reinvested into the committee for improving operations and maintaining the bins.

Romford boss Martin thrilled to begin new term by beating Great Wakering
PUBLISHED: 17:00 13 August 2018
©TGS Photo tgsphoto.co.uk +44 1376 553468
Boro began new term with 3-0 success over Rovers on Saturday
Romford boss Paul Martin hailed a brilliant start to the new Bostik North season after beating Great Wakering Rovers 3-0 on the opening day of the new term.
It took Boro just five minutes to get their first goal of the new campaign, with Kris Newby opening his account for the season.
Martin's men doubled their advantage four minutes later when Jonathan Nzengo found the target.
Romford breathed a sigh of relief when Rovers missed a penalty to cut the gap, before Roddy Lemba rounded out the scoring with a debut goal in the 73rd minute.
Three goals and a clean sheet to boot marked the perfect start to the new term, and Martin was pleased Boro got their first victory under their belts nice and early.
"It's good to get our first win of the season early on in the campaign," said Martin.
"We had a great start by scoring twice within the first nine minutes, and from there it was a case of game management.
"We were fortunate that when they had a penalty when we were 2-0 up that they put it over the bar as it could have been a different game had it gone in.
"The youngsters did well, and in particular our back four and Rhys Hughes in goal."
As well as starting a new term on Saturday, Romford were also starting life at a new ground after moving to East Thurrock United's Rookery Hill over the summer.
And Martin was pleased Boro wasted little time in settling in at their new home.
"Every season, you have to make your home ground a castle and difficult for other teams to knock it down," he added.
"Down the years as a club, it seems that our results are better at home than they are when we're away.
"Playing at a new ground, it was important we got that first win early on and the confidence is in the team now that we can win at Rookery Hill."

***Editor's note: See part 1 of this column here for an overview of the current body of knowledge on the range of conditions classified as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and to read about DAN! protocol, chlorine dioxide, secretin, chelation therapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, lupron, GcMAF, and stem cell therapy, all of which have been purported to treat or even cure autism.
CEASE therapy
Developed by late homeopath Tinus Smits, Complete Elimination of Autism Spectrum Expression, or CEASE, is homeopathy—the fantastical and thoroughly refuted notion that a substance that causes disease diluted infinitesimally can cure it— applied to autism, based solely on unsubstantiated assumptions about the condition's cause. CEASE proponents believe that "autism is an accumulation of different causes and about 70% is due to vaccines, 25% to toxic medication and other toxic substances, 5% to some diseases. With isotherapy, … a form of homeopathy using the causative substances themselves in homeopathic preparation, the toxic imprints can be erased." Certified practitioners around the world administer these treatments, as described on the CEASE website:
The treatment of autistic children and even adults has matured through 300 cases taken by Dr. Tinus Smits and is called CEASE Therapy. Step by step all [assumed] causative factors (vaccines, regular medication, environmental toxic exposures, effects of illness, etc.) are cleared with the homeopathically prepared, that is diluted and potentized substances that were administered prior to the onset of autism. Currently we use the 30C, 200C, 1M and 10M potencies to clear out the energetic field of the patient from the imprint of toxic substances or diseases.
CEASE therapy was banned by the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia in May of 2018, but several certified practitioners in Canada and worldwide are listed on the CEASE website as of this article's publication.
The Professional Standards Authority of the UK, accountable to the UK Parliament, told The Guardianin April of 2018 that it advised the UK Society of Homeopaths that "CEASE therapy contravenes medical advice by apparently advising against vaccination of children, avoiding antibiotics in the case of infection and advocates high doses of vitamins not recommended for children. We are also concerned that the full name of CEASE (Complete Elimination of Autistic Spectrum Expression) strongly implies the ability to cure autism through this therapy."
David Gorski described additional facets of CEASE:
[W]hile Smits (well, these days Smits' followers because apparently Smits died in 2010) is using vaccine components, medications, and various toxins all diluted to nonexistence to cure autism, he apparently also thinks that "orthomolecular medicine" needs to be used as well. Orthomolecular medicine, for those who don't remember, is the quackery popularized by Linus Pauling that involves megadoses of vitamin C and other vitamins and nutrients This strikes me as profoundly odd. After all, homeopathy is nothing if not about, well, diluting the alleged remedy away to nonexistence. Orthomolecular quackery is about the exact opposite: Megadoses of vitamins, in particular, megadoses of vitamin C[.]
Of three naturopaths under fire for offering CEASE, two have removed their names from the website, but Victoria's Anke Zimmermann remains defiant, as CBC reported. Zimmerman told CBC that she will no longer advertise CEASE therapy, adding that "[t]t's just a particular combination of homeopathy and nutrition and I can still offer those modalities."
Facilitated communication
A technique formerly used to assist those with severe communication disabilities including autism, facilitated communication (FC), also known as hand over hand and supported typing, involves a keyboard or alphabet board, and a designated facilitator guiding the disabled person's hand to support typing or pointing. FC was thoroughly discredited in 1994, following over 40 empirical studies between 1991 and 1994 failing to demonstrate efficacy for the technique, and showing that reported successes were due to facilitator influence (thought to be carried out subconsciously). Medical and professional associations quickly passed resolutions advising against its practice. The American Psychological Association position reads in part:
A basic premise of facilitated communication is that people with autism and moderate and profound mental retardation have "undisclosed literacy" consistent with normal intellectual functioning. Peer reviewed, scientifically based studies have found that the typed language output (represented through computers, letter boards, etc.) attributed to the clients was directed or systematically determined by the paraprofessional/professional therapists who provided facilitated assistance. (Bligh & Kupperman, 1993; Cabay, in press; Crews et al., in press; Eberlin, McConnachic, Ibel, & Volpe, 1993; Hudson, Melita, & Arnold, 1993; Klewe, 1993; Moore, Donovan, Hudson, 1993; Moore, Donovan, Hudson, Dykstra & Lawrence, 1993; Regal, Rooney, & Wandas, in press; Shane & Kearns, in press; Siegel, in press; Simon, Toll & Whitehair, in press; Szempruch & Jacobson, 1993; Vasquez, in press; Wheeler, Jacobson, Paglieri & Schwartz, 1993). Furthermore, it has not been scientifically demonstrated that the therapists are aware of their controlling influence.
Consequently, specific activities contribute immediate threats to the individual civil and human rights of the person with autism or severe mental retardation. These include use of facilitated communication as a basis for a) actions related to nonverbal accusations of abuse and mistreatment (by family members or other caregivers); b) actions related to nonverbal communications of personal preferences, self-reports about health, test and classroom performance, and family relations; c) client response in psychological assessment using standardized assessment procedures; and d) client-therapist communication in counseling or psychotherapy, taking therapeutic actions, or making differential treatment decisions.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP), the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), and the International Society for Augmentative and Alternative Communication (ISAAC) also oppose FC.
Nevertheless, practitioners continue to use the technique. The Atlanticreported in 2016 that "[t]he practice retains a dedicated community of followers who have sought to prove its scientific validity as a legitimate speech-therapy technique, often using names such as rapid prompting method or "supported typing," despite warnings by researchers such as James Todd of Eastern Michigan University and Jason Travers of the University of Kansas. And FC's followers have found allies, such as certain staff members at the University of New Hampshire (which only recently transitioned away from the technique), the University of Northern Iowa, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and the Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging, and Independent Living."
The National Council Against Health Fraud reported in May 2018 that the "Facilitated Communication Institute, which in 2010 was renamed the Institute on Communication and Inclusion, continues to promote FC despite objections from the student newspaper and some faculty members."
Dietary "Cures"
Autism often comes with dietary issues, including atypical eating patterns, and restrictive aversion to certain flavors and texture—beyond typical "pickiness"—that can lead to nutritional deficiencies. Parents of autistic children report gastrointestinal distress at higher rates than children without ASD diagnosis. Though there is scant evidence to support the use of nutritional supplements or dietary therapies for ASD, many parents do report improvement in behaviors and gastrointestinal symptoms with changes in diet. But this is a far cry from the dietary interventions promoted to cure or treat autism, discussed below.
Gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diet
The most popular evidence-scarce dietary intervention involves the complete removal of gluten, a protein found in grains such as wheat, barley, rye, and casein, a protein found in dairy products, from the diet. While there are strong anecdotal reports from parents that gluten-free casein-free (GFCF) diets greatly improve or even "cure" ASD symptoms, blinded studies show no evidence that GFCF diets lead to behavioral improvements. Though a GFCF diet pales in comparison to other quack autism therapies in terms of harm perpetuated, the strict elimination of these foods can limit an already restricted diet.
Largely following computer scientist and MIT researcher Stephanie Seneff's claims that increased use of glyphosate, an herbicide used primarily on crops engineered to tolerate it and as a crop desiccant (with several applications outside of genetically engineered crops), will lead half of all children to be diagnosed with ASD by 2025, claims that non-GMO diets could "cure" autism began to flourish.
With her suggestion that the purported rise in autism is associated with the rise in glyphosate use, Seneff commits a classic correlation vs. causation error:
As David Gorski noted: "[I]f you look at two different variables that have shown an increase with time, you can almost always make it look as though there's a correlation. Only occasionally does that correlation equal causation."
This observation led to a now widely-disseminated graph pointing out that a similar correlation can be seen with the boom in organic sales and autism prevalence:
Aside from Seneff herself, the most vocal proponent of this idea is Zen Honeycutt, the founder of Moms Across America (MAA). With the slogan "Empowered moms, healthy kids," and a mission to raise awareness about GMOs and toxic exposures, the organization peddles supplements to help "detox" customers, conducts poorly controlled experiments with questionable assays to test for glyphosate in participants' urine and breastmilk, and promotes the idea that glyphosate causes autism. MAA published a widely-circulated, non-peer reviewed biomonitoring report in 2014 claiming that detection of relatively high glyphosate concentrations in breast milk in 3 of 10 sampled women raised a concern for bioaccumulation in breast milk, but the report has been found to be implausible in multiple peer reviewed studies .
Though the herbicide is less acutely toxic than caffeine, table salt, and some pesticides used in organic farming, and less chronically toxic than caffeine, Honeycutt insists that residues affect our gut microbiomes, which Moms Across America has linked to myriad ailments, including autism, allergies, infertility, eczema, fibromyalgia, Crohn's Disease, childhood tantrums and pneumonia.
A massive body of evidence contradicts all of these claims. Targeting the shikimate metabolic pathway in weeds, glyphosate interferes with protein synthesis in plants, bacteria, fungi and other organisms, but not in animals. There is no evidence that glyphosate residues on food affect the shikimate pathways of bacteria in the human gut. An extensive analysis by science writer Matthew Loftus at the Credible Hulk blog pokes holes in the claim:
The claim that glyphosate harms human health via disruption of the microbiome was never a biologically plausible one, because it only makes sense when the system is not being viewed as a whole. Ironically, glyphosate and GE food opponents like to say that they take a holistic approach, but this is not a holistic argument, because it ignores the environment in which the microbiome exists.
We know that organisms don't bother synthesizing compounds they can already get from their environment. Knocking out one step of a biochemical pathway and growing microorganisms on different media with various substrates is a tried and true classical method for identifying which substrates are involved in a given pathway and/or the enzymes which catalyze their reactions. We also know that the human gut contains abundant aromatic amino acids alleviating the need for resident microorganisms to synthesize them. Running out of them is not a concern because they are replenished multiple times per day. The exception to this would be cases of starvation or malnutrition, in which case malnutrition would be the problem to address: not glyphosate. Despite this, in vivo research has been done, and reaffirms exactly what theoretical predictions would imply. Gut microorganisms grew and replicated for hundreds of generations, thus contradicting the predictions of the hypothesis under discussion.
Featured as a guest on a 2014 episode of the Dr. Oz show, Honeycutt told an obviously embellished if not fabricated story. Her son had been experiencing "autism symptoms." After her son's doctor saw no reason to test for glyphosate levels, Honeycutt used a private lab which detected glyphosate levels "8 times higher than found anywhere in Europe urine testing." She claimed that within six weeks of going "completely GMO-free and organic, his autism symptoms were gone and the level of glyphosate was no longer detectable." Dr. Oz did not question Honeycutt's claims.
There are several notable commentaries on a non-GMO diet to reduce autism prevalence, including an analysis at Snopes:
[D]isregarding the sloppy mathematics, the claim's very basis (that glyphosate is the cause of a perceived increase in autism) is unsupported. No mention was made of how glyphosate was isolated and shown to be a cause (or even a factor) in some or any cases of autism in the article. No autism spikes near agricultural facilities were described, nor was any definitive causative link at all cited by the article (and presumably, Seneff) to back up the purported link between glyphosate and autism rates anywhere other than the imaginations of those making the claim. The single link of merit made within the article (to a USDA report) made absolutely no mention of autism at all but was misleadingly arranged to suggest a connection.
Novella also took on Seneff at Science Based Medicine:
Dr. Seneff gives every indication of being an anti-GMO ideologue. She is not a biologist, but rather is a computer scientist, and yet she is being presented as an expert. She has also not conducted any original research, but is spreading fears about glyphosate based on pure speculation, bad science and bad logic.
Meanwhile, numerous published systematic reviews show clear evidence that glyphosate has very low toxicity. More careful study when it comes to any agent being used as heavily as glyphosate is always welcome. Science is complicated, and it is always a good idea to consider factors that may have been previously missed. However, failure to show any adverse effect from glyphosate in epidemiological studies is very reassuring. Given its widespread use, any adverse effect must be tiny or non-existent to be missed by the evidence we have so far.
Human molecular geneticist and blogger Layla Katiraee wrote:
I think that there are very few scientists who wouldn't give their life savings and the naming rights for their first born for the opportunity to identify an environmental cause for autism. Monsanto, Dow Agro, and Syngenta combined aren't big enough to silence that. The reason it hasn't been examined is far simpler: there is no likely connection based on the known comparatively benign toxic profile of glyphosate and most researchers do not want to waste their time and effort and preciously limited support dollars on a project that would most likely find no association with ASD.
And biologist and blogger Iida Ruishalme said:
The topic [of autism] is complex enough without somebody manufacturing hypothetical connections and creating more noise for the worried parents and dedicated researchers to wade through, and making strong claims without evidence and spreading them in the media like Seneff does, is very irresponsible behaviour.
Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) diet:
Another dietary "cure" that draws heavily on the gaps in microbiome science, Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride derived the GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) protocol from the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) created by Dr. Sidney Valentine Haas to naturally treat chronic inflammatory conditions in the digestive tract as a result of a damaged gut lining. A strict elimination diet that cuts out grains, pasteurized dairy, starchy vegetables and refined carbs, it's based on Campbell Mc-Bride's conjecture that autism, among several other conditions, stem from an imbalance in the gut microbiome. Unlike Seneff's claims, however, GAPS isn't based even on flawed research—there are no published studies on the diet. Like other quackery in the autism treatment realm, GAPS is based on the flawed assumption that there is "an absolute epidemic" of autism. Campbell-McBride's website described the GAPS diet in brief, as follows:
The GAPS protocol was designed for patients suffering from learning disabilities, psychiatric and psychological disorders, immune system problems and digestive problems
The purpose of the treatment is to detoxify the person, to lift the toxic fog off the brain to allow it to develop and function properly. In order to achieve that we need to clean up and heal the digestive tract, so it stops being the major source of toxicity in the body and becomes the source of nourishment, as it is supposed to be. As more than 90% of everything toxic floating in our blood (and getting into the brain) comes from the gut, healing it will drop the level of toxicity in the body dramatically.
This target is achieved by means of The Nutritional Programme. This programme has evolved through the personal experience of Dr. Campbell-McBride's family and clinical experience with thousands of GAPS children and adults around the world.
"Angry Chef" and author Anthony Warner isn't a GAPs fan:
Dr Natasha is distinct from the usual clean eating loons in that she does not link her diet to vague non descript symptoms and hard to diagnose conditions. This diet is not designed to help you with fatigue, occasional headaches and the feeling of having more money than sense. Natasha is far more forthright in her claims. According to her website, the GAPS diet can be used to treat and cure 'Autistic Spectrum Disorders, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD), schizophrenia, dyslexia, dyspraxia, depression, obsessive–compulsive disorder, bi-polar disorder and other neuro-psychological and psychiatric problems.' We are talking about serious conditions that require proper medical help. A line is being crossed here, a line from fad dieting into dangerous lunacy.
Retired physician and blogger Harriet Hall pointed out red flags:
There are plenty of red flags here: the "lone genius," the "one cause" of most disease, the die-off and "wait a while and try again" explanations to keep patients on the diet when it is making them worse, the unvalidated sensitivity and diagnostic tests, the detoxification language, the bold but unsubstantiated claim of total reversal of autism, the dangerous recommendations for raw eggs, raw milk, and saturated fat and against vaccines and cholesterol testing, and more.
The autism woo world is like a quackery hydra—chop off one head and it grows back in new and ghastly form
Part of the reason that autism misinformation is so hard to counter is that the development of any child, and especially children with autism, is dynamic, as Gorski explained:
[I]t is not nearly as uncommon as parents think for children with a diagnosis of autism to improve spontaneously. Indeed, most parents think this never happens spontaneously, and that's one (among many) reasons why they assume that whatever quackery they treat their child with must be the cause of their child's improvement. Yet, autism is a disorder of developmental delay, not developmental stasis; autistic children can and do develop. In fact, a significant minority can even lose the diagnosis of autism or AST by age seven as they develop. As Prometheus points out, promoters of the vaccine-autism myth don't like to hear that, mainly because it casts doubt upon whether the quackery they choose to treat their children actually does anything. After all, if autism were truly a condition of developmental stasis, then you almost wouldn't need a control group. If an autistic child improved on a treatment, it would not be unreasonable to conclude that the treatment was beneficial. However, autism is extremely variable. Autistic children can develop, often in spurts punctuated by longer periods of apparent developmental stasis. If one of those spurts happens to occur after a new round of quackery, it's very easy to conclude that the quackery was responsible.
The internet has not only catalyzed the proliferation and evolution of autism woo— it's also home to untold forums where perpetrators easily prey on autistic children's parents. These therapies don't just cause harm with their side effects, they also impede the movement toward autism acceptance, and distract from evidence based therapies that, with timely intervention, can help autistic children learn important skills.
The FDA explains red flags to look out for with any purported treatment or cure for autism:
- Be suspicious of products that claim to treat a wide range of diseases.
- Personal testimonials are no substitute for scientific evidence.
- Few diseases or conditions can be treated quickly, so be suspicious of any therapy claimed as a "quick fix."
- So-called "miracle cures," which claim scientific breakthroughs or contain secret ingredients, may be a hoax.
The bottom line is this—if it's an unproven or little known treatment, talk to your health care professional before buying or using these products.
As Alison Bernstein and Layla Katiraee note at the SciMoms blog, being armed with a few basic lines of inquiry can go a long way in avoiding autism woo:
Marketing campaigns and articles that use autism to instill fear should be regarded with caution … [T]here have been more diagnoses of autism over the years. This can be correlated with nearly anything whose use or consumption has also increased over the years: GMOs, WiFi, iPhone sales, quinoa and kale consumption, organic food sales, etc. When reading such articles, focus on the data beyond the correlation: is there any evidence to support that one actually causes the other? Who are they interviewing? Is there a reputable medical organization that is supporting the arguments in the article?
If I've learned one thing from doing a deep dive into the world of autism woo, it's that it's virtually infinite—even as one so-called cure or treatment is exposed as quackery, another pops up like a tragic game of whack-a-mole. As with any form of BS, arming ourselves with a misinformation radar is crucial in the fight to protect autistic children and promote acceptance.

The ketogenic diet has many wonderful benefits and is a real miracle weapon in many different areas.
However, switching to keto can be a bit of a challenge.
Here are the key tips for starting:
Before you begin, be aware that it initially means a lot of will and discipline.
Your body is used to the carbohydrate metabolism and even if the ketosis itself is the optimal metabolism of both, he has to get used to it again. Although babies are born in ketosis, the body can unlearn over the years to use fat as the primary energy source when carbohydrates are the primary source of energy for a very long time.
Your body needs a few days to change to as little as two weeks. During this time, it's especially important that you pay close attention to what you eat.
Your body will convert to ketone bodies as fuel as soon as it no longer has enough glucose to metabolize. Therefore, it is very important that you empty your memory as fast as possible.
Your body relies on an energy source, be it glucose or ketone bodies, if it has neither one or the other sufficiently available, you simply have no energy.
In other words, in the transition phase, you will feel a bit weak. But there are a few tricks you can use to make the transition more enjoyable.
1. Banish all carbohydrate and sugar foods from your home
Banish everything from the house, which does not support you in your diet change! If there is nothing to tempt you, it will be easier for you to resist your desires. In addition to the obvious sugar, this also means agave syrup, honey, maple syrup and co. At Keto, only erythritol and pure Stevia are recommended sweeteners.
2. Equip your kitchen with healthy and low carbohydrate products
After you've cleared out the unhealthy foods, you'll find that your kitchen is now pretty empty, right? You should not starve, so replace them with healthy, low carbohydrate foods. A great list of suitable foods can be found at: Keto Challange
3. Start on a weekend or on your vacation
As already mentioned, the changeover is not without. Also the sugar removal is not to be despised. The first few days you will not be as efficient as normal. Therefore it does not make sense to start on a stressful working day. Take your time, read in and above all: cook fresh and delicious food, so you have a better start into your new life!
4. Eat a maximum of 20g carbs a day
Your body has to get used to the new kind of energy source, after all, you gave it carbohydrates as an energy source for years. If you have lived keto genously for a long time, you will be able to stay in ketosis despite a higher amount of carbohydrates (say 30, 40 or 50g). However, this is not the case during the changeover phase. Therefore, it is recommended in the first few weeks not over 20g carbohydrates per day to come. Trace your food, because 20g are reached faster than you think. A good option is: HERE
5. Take enough liquid to you
Drink a lot is a well-tried tip and is also applicable here. In addition to water, you can also drink unsweetened herbal teas. Fruit teas are not so suitable for starters as they contain a relatively large amount of carbohydrates. A fruit tea with 0.6 g of carbohydrates per 100 ml brings with one liter already 6 g of carbohydrates, so 1/3 of your daily carbohydrate amount!
In a ketogenic diet, the body also needs more good salt, so a salty bouillon or a freshly prepared vegetable broth is highly recommended.
6. Eat enough low-carbohydrate vegetables, lots of healthy fat and a moderate amount of protein
With sufficient vegetables, I mean that at least half of your portion of vegetables should be. Vegetable varieties with a low starch content are particularly suitable for this. These include: lettuce, cucumbers, zucchini, avocados, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and many more.
Fat is henceforth your energy source, so eat enough of it. 70% of your daily energy intake should come from healthy fats! But beware: fat is not the same fat. The best fats are butter and ghee from pasture milk, native organic coconut oil, MCT oil and avocados.
A high quality virgin olive oil is a good choice.
Eat a moderate amount of protein, about 25% of your daily energy intake should come from proteins, such as meat, fish or eggs. The quality plays an important role. Avoid meat and eggs from factory farming and fish from aquaculture. Prefer to go for organic free range eggs, pasture-based meat or wild-caught fish. "You are what you eat" is true not only for you, but also for your food. Badly fed, sick animals will not become super food in some magical process!
7 . Help your body to get into ketosis with the help of Bulletproof Coffees and MCT Oils
A great help to get into ketosis quickly is MCT oil and the so-called Bulletproof Coffee!
MCT is the abbreviation of Medium chain triglycerides, in German: medium-chain fatty acids, which are contained eg in coconut oil. MCT oil is an extract of the fatty acids that the body can metabolize most quickly. These are processed in your liver without detours to ketone body and are therefore a real kickstarter for ketosis. In addition, MCT Oil stimulates fat burning, increases your mental performance and your energy level.

Wilton Manors Real Estate
Wilton Manors has a great deal to offer those relocating to this area of Greater Fort Lauderdale.
Known as the Island City, Wilton Manors nuzzles the two forks of the Middle River and is a refreshing urban commune of pricey, sought-after homes within the boundaries of Sunrise Boulevard and Oakland Park Boulevard, bisected by Andrews Ave. Sunrise Boulevard and Oakland Park Boulevard are busy commercial areas with an assortment of office buildings, restaurants, movie theaters, and chic shopping storefronts.

Drive through this neighborhood and enjoy some of Florida's best tropical landscape designs by award winning landscape designer, Luis Llenza.
Island City.
Once your car makes the turn into the community of Wilton Manors, it's as if you've made a 360-degree change from city to small-town America. Slightly elevated traffic bumps remind you to slow down. Not only your car, but hey, you're practically at your front door and need to get into your homeowner's mode, leaving work-related worries at bay.
Many residents have become acquainted with assorted colors of paint, and have gussied up their homes, refreshed their landscaping and have changed their boring concrete driveways by adding pavers.
New homes for sale are sprouting up in this section of Fort Lauderdale. The style of some two-story homes replicates Old South antebellum architecture. One-story ranch homes, the rage of the '50s and '60s, are being given facelifts to make them more 21st century-friendly. Antebellum meets the 21st century creates an interesting marriage.
Sometimes it takes a decline to spark a turn-around. That is what has happened in Wilton Manors, which has come a long way in a short time, thanks to the dedication of city officials and local businesses.
Although condominiums, about 1,000 square feet, are selling for about $350,000 (pre-construction), lofts and larger sized apartments are priced up to a half-million dollars. However, there is more affordable housing located on the edge of town that is available in the $200,000 range. A perceptive real estate agent can help search out the right home at the right price. Although a four-story limit was placed on most buildings there is one, Wilton Tower, that exceeds this limitation with its many floors.
The Island City is small-town friendly with big-city sophistication, according to City Manager, Joseph Gallegos. Within its parameters is Colohatchee Nature Park, an oasis in the desert, that many people do not know is even here.
The makeup of Wilton Manors is intriguing. Gay residents coexist comfortably with straight community residents. There are more city government gay members here than in any body of government in the country. Their dedication to making Wilton Manors more than just a place to live, but also a place to be proud of, certainly is working well.

½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 heaped tsp turmeric
1 tbls curry powder
1kg lamb of beef mince
1 tbls chutney
1 tbls apricot jam
5 tbls sultanas
Salt and pepper to taste
3 eggs
¼ cup flaked almonds
8 fresh lemon leaves
Juice of 1 lemon
Soak the bread in the milk and set aside. Heat oil and butter in large pan and fry onions, ginger and garlic till translucent. Add the fennel seed, cumin, cinnamon, turmeric and curry powder and stir fry till they become fragrant. Add a little water if the spices look like they might burn. Stir in the mincemeat and fry stirring to incorporate the spices and onions and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the apricot jam and sultanas, season with salt and pepper, remove the bread from the milk and squeeze the milk back into the bowl. Reserve the milk to use later, stir the bread into the mince, cook the mince for a further 5 minutes and remove from the stove. Taste the mixture and add the lemon juice if needed. Beat one of the 3 eggs and add to the mince. Spoon the mince into a suitable oven –proof dish. Beat the last 2 eggs with the remaining milk, season. Roll the lemon leaves up into little scrolls and poke them all over the surface of the meat, pour over the egg and milk mixture, scatter the almonds onto the surface. Place the dish on an oven tray, pour hot water a third of the way up the dish and bake at 180 ̊C for 1 hour or until the custard is just set. Remove from the oven and rest before serving.
Tip: If the mixture is too sweet give it a splash of fresh lemon juice. Serve with Sambles and boiled yellow rice.

Idleness is not a vacation, an indulgence or a vice. It is as indispensable to the brain as vitamin D is to the body, and deprived of it, we suffer a mental affliction as disfiguring as rickets. The space and quietness that idleness provides is a necessary condition for standing back from life and seeing it whole, for making unexpected connections and waiting for the wild summer lightning strikes of inspiration. It is, paradoxically necessary to getting anything done.
I don't have a reference for this quote, but it is one of my favourites. Whoever wrote it understood the importance of being able to do nothing, which in essence is being.
As a society we idolize being busy, it's often the first question people ask "busy day?" "have you got much on today?" "I'm so busy!!" Rushing, frantic, out of time, we are shackled by the tiny device attached to our wrist, like a handcuff it ticks away as we fret and panic.
The connection of time and stress is interesting, as our relationship with time, and how we choose to spend it is an important one. We have a finite amount of energy that we can put into each moment, each breath, each day and each lifetime. That is what makes time at once so valuable and also so trivial. At some undefined point our time/energy runs out, and we must replenish it.
It is through our choices and daily habits, as well as our thought patterns and relationships, that we can perpetuate unhealthy relationships with our time and energy, or we can thrive by managing it skillfully.
I used to be constantly late, always rushing, always frantic. I once received three $80 speeding tickets in one week, as I sped past the same speed camera three times to get to my class on time. I hadn't left myself enough time to get there.
Slowly though I have learned to budget my time and value my time without giving it away easily and carelessly. I say no to engagements I know will frazzle me or will increase the time pressure in my life. I leave myself a time buffer and have even on occasion (though still rarely, I am not yet my mother…) arrived a few minutes early.
We are the timekeepers of our lives, and we alone have the power to manage and navigate how we spend this precious resource. Take time to be still and idle, to rest and recover, to fill your cup and recharge. The amount of energy you gain from this simple practice will surprise you.

Consumer demand for "hedonistic chocolate" has helped drive up sales and profits at Hotel Chocolat as it gears up for its best Christmas.
The luxury chocolate chain, which has a store in Belfast, said sales rose 12% to £91.1m in the year to June 26, with pre-tax profits up from £2.9m to £8.2m.
The group, which is listed on the Alternative Investment Market, added that sweet treats made with less sugar were also proving popular.
The firm said: "We see an increasing trend that consumers want uncompromisingly delicious and hedonistic chocolate that's also made with responsible amounts of sugar."

Unholy Trinity Hot Sauce by Irazu is an award-winning hot sauce that combines three hottest peppers in the world (Carolina Reaper, Scorpion, and Ghost Pepper).

Above: Artist's rendering of the proposed project as seen looking east from Spartan Avenue
If two votes go as expected, tonight East Lansing's City Council will set a pair of public hearings for April 12 to consider a site plan and tax increment financing (TIF) plan for a major new apartment complex near Hagadorn Road. If built as planned, the project, a six-story mixed-used development to be named White Oak Place, will sit on the corner of East Grand River and Spartan Avenues, just west of Brookfield Plaza.
The proposal was originally approved by Council at the July 7, 2015 meeting, however, that was before a TIF consideration (which has since undergone multiple iterations) and before a series of suggested changes to the site plan. As a consequence, a revised site plan is coming to Council, along with a TIF plan calling for over $6 million in taxes generated from the project to be used to reimburse the developer for expenses.
The proposed development would replace the three properties currently at the northeast corner of Grand River and Spartan Avenues – including the old Tasty Treat building and a former gas station – and be built around a 265-year-old white oak tree. The goal is to preserve the tree during and after construction. Consequently, the portion of the proposed building just east of the tree would be limited to four stories, ostensibly to allow sunlight to reach the tree. (See above.)
The first floor would include commercial retail and parking, with the second through sixth floors being residential. The proposed retail space would face Grand River Avenue. Parking entrances and exits, including access to underground parking, would be located on Spartan Avenue, with an exit onto Grand River Avenue.
This image shows an artist's rendering of the project looking northeast toward the corner of Spartan Avenue and Grand River Avenue:
The commercial brick building at Brookfield Plaza just to the east of the project is not accurately depicted in scale in this drawing.
The developer, Next Generation Investment Properties, LLC, has been represented in Council communications by Joe Goodsir of Community Resource Management Company (CRMC), which operates a number of student rentals in town. According to the Next Generation's application, the residential units will be marketed to "a mix of graduate students and young professionals."
Some citizens are concerned, however, that four-bedroom units indicate marketing to more undergraduates. Ralph Monsma wrote in his letter to the Planning Commission, "recent changes to include many four bedroom apartments indicates a clear tilt toward student occupancy." The minutes of the Planning Commission's December 9 meeting indicate that at least some commissioners considered this project to be largely geared towards undergraduate students, considering the "higher density closer to [MSU's] campus."
City Planning staff has provided Council with a list of 17 suggested conditions to apply to the plan before approving it. Many of the conditions related to code conformity for items like sewer and lighting, with an additional suggestion for a reduction in the required number of parking spaces.
Given the development's site plan, there would ultimately be 213 beds in the project, split between a mix of one-, two-, three-, and four-bedroom units. According to city code, the minimum required number of residential parking spaces for a project of this size would be 185, plus additional spaces for the first floor's commercial establishment(s). The developer's application outlines an additional 12 moped/motorcycle spaces and 108 bicycle spaces.
However, City staff has recommended, and the Planning Commission has approved, a proposed 25% reduction of required parking spaces, totaling 139 spaces provided on-site (both residential and commercial) with no off-site designated parking spots.
One of the reasons for the scarcity of space for parking even with the underground parking component is the property's centuries-old white oak tree. As written in the application, "the building and parking are configured to retain the largest of [the site's natural features], a large tree." This photo shows the tree this past summer, looking southeast from Spartan Avenue towards Brookfield Plaza (brick building in the background):
Discussion of this same property helped precipitate the consideration of a protected tree ordinance, which has since been referred back to multiple commissions for additional feedback and may be officially tabled at this week's Council meeting. Concerns have been raised as to whether the tree can survive the construction even with the precautions already planned.
Though the staff recommends the parking reduction, it's possible that the perception of inadequate parking may cause an issue for approval of the project. The City staff's memo states, "[The property's] close proximity to the University [and] CATA bus route [makes] it less likely that marketing the units will be dependent on having on-site parking; however, staff is not convinced that this location can absorb the entire 46 parking space reduction without a negative impact on this section of the neighborhood and the Brookfield Plaza."
Separate from staff concerns, Robert Phipps, owner of next-door Brookfield Plaza, cited several issues to Council in his June 27 letter. Phipps wrote, "I do not think this project has enough parking for its residents, delivery vehicles, and/or guests… [Not] addressing these concerns will make our use of Brookfield much more difficult."
The Planning Commission also discussed potential parking issues that could arise for tenants' guests, given the already limited space. Management of tenant parking during move-in/move-out days has also arisen as an issue throughout the development's discussion.
The white oak's preservation has also been cited as a reason for the Brownfield TIF request, as before Council last July. The TIF request has also gone through multiple iterations (see ELi's previous coverage here and here). It currently stands at $6,082,364.
At the meeting of the East Lansing Brownfield Redevelopment Authority, the current TIF plan was approved by a vote of 7 to 3. Voting against were City Manager George Lahanas, Mayor Mark Meadows, and BRA member Jim Croom. The vote on the TIF plan now moves to City Council, likely on April 12.

'American Idol' Recap: Rocky Peter Breaks Our Hearts
Believe it or not, Hollywood Week on 'American Idol' is even more emotional this week than last. I know. With some jaw dropping performances– and one tear jerking elimination– emotions were rampant on the Feb. 11 episode.
And Hollywood Week continues. After last week's shocking ending of American Idol which saw contestant Alexis Granville crack under pressure and faint on stage, we were left wondering if she was okay. Picking up right where we left off, the drama in So Cal continues– and so do the performances, some incredible, some less so. And of course, we face more devastating eliminations, one of which has us reaching for the tissues big time. Check out a full recap!
'American Idol' Recap: Hollywood Week Continues
We pick up where we left off.
Alexis was taken backstage to get treatment for a panic attack. Finally, she emerged strong enough to perform and Sal's Gals– consisting of Sal Ventinetti, Alexis, Kelly and Jax— pulled it together. Well, for the most part. Alexis and Jax went through, while the rest of the group was sent home. However, Sal did manage to ask Jennifer Lopez to dinner one more time.
Onto another weak link, Emily Brooke threatened to bring down her entire group. "If I throw up, I have a bag," said Emily. Thanks for sharing, Emily. Well she, Riley Bria, Keri Roche all made it through so hey, maybe a little nausea is the secret ingredient.
The next group may have had a bit of a home court advantage, as they all go to college together. However, they took a risk singing Idol's own Kelly Clarkson's "Since You've Been Gone." Cody Fry, Rayvon Owen and Piper Jones are no Kelly (no one is) but they delivered enough to the extent that they all made it through.
Next up, Team Yup didn't fare so well. Calling each singer unique, Harry said "that's the only compliment I got." Um, ouch. Needless to say, none made it through.
The following group, Vital Signs, which included Adanna Duru, Cindy Maslov, Denise Natoli and Camille Peruto, won half the battle just by picking Michael Jackson's "I Want You Back." All four except Cindy made it through. Unremarkable. Boring. Moving on.
Ladies Keep Your Clothes On
LKYCO (Ladies Keep Your Clothes On– no comment) were next. Trevor Douglas, Qaasim Middleton, Daniel Seavey and Savion Wright may have been presumptuous in that name, but not inaccurate. JLo was vibing very hard to the boys, so much so that they all made it through to the next round.
Over a third through the episode and, honestly, pretty uneventful. In fact, we actually next get a montage of contestants sleeping. Literally.
Hollywood Gomez put his entire group at risk by being pretty unable to not fall asleep while practicing. And yet, following his group's astoundingly terrible version of Bruno Mars' "Grenade," he was the only one to actually make it through. Um, if I were any one of those four who got sent home, I would've given myself permission to give Hollywood a swift kick in the tush. But that's just me.
Next up, Lovey James, Jess Lamb, Karla and Kory Wheeler sang a doo-whop stylized "All About That Bass" and, honestly, it was one of the smartest choices of the evening, simply because it was unique and didn't put me to sleep. It paid off–for half the group. Lovey and Kory made it through.
Rocky Peter Breaks Our Hearts
Next, Rocky's Crew, consisting of Tanya Mackenna and Rocky Peter had extremely high stakes, particularly for Rocky, who's homeless. "I have nothing to go home to," he said. Heartbreakingly, Rocky didn't make it through. "I was thinking a lot about my mom," he said afterwards, through tears. Ugh. This is the part of Idol that just breaks your heart. Here's top hoping there's something else even better out there for Rocky.
Meanwhile, team Soul Connection might be eliminating themselves. Heather Lee was close to quitting the competition if she couldn't join another group. However, she and the three other girls in her group, Hetherle Spries, Erika David and Sarina-Joi Crowe were forced to overcome their (very catty) differences to sing, yet again, "Grenade." Well, maybe Heather should've tried to be more of a team player, because her entire group made it through except for her. I don't want to make any implications, but well, karma.
I Didn't Come To Make Friends
On a much more friendly note, Mark Andrew, Vanessa Andrea, Katherine Winston and Alex Shier sang "I Get by with a little Help from My Friends." Unfortunately, friendship doesn't always conquer all and all all three made it through except Vanessa.
Finally, after an episode which has left me feeling as drained and exhausted as the contestants themselves, we arrive at the last group. However, their easygoing sound and vibe makes me almost sad the episde is coming to an end (almost. Almost). Joey Cook completely forgot a lyric but her ability to improvise wowed the judges. As did Heather Berthiaume and Naomi Tatsuoka's jazzy sounds. Obviously they all made it through.
And just like that we've survived another night of Hollywood Week.
What did you think of tonight's episode? Were you sad to see Rocky sent home?

Echo's Underwater Tea Party
For Echo's Birthday this year she requested a mermaid themed tea party. It was fun to have a chance to get creative with a smaller party at home. Here's how it all came together.
We made homemade decorations mostly out of Echo's mermaid craft book. The girls helped me to make mermaid banners and mermaid crowns for each of the party guests. I decorated the table with fish nets from the craft store, sea shells and lace doilies as well as a vintage teapot.
For snacks we served goldfish crackers, fruit kabobs, starfish crackers (Ritz crackers with sliced cheese cut out in the shape of a star with a cookie cutter) and mermaid toast (cinnamon raisin bread toasted with cream cheese on top, the swirled with green and blue food coloring and topped with gold sprinkles), and of course a fabulous mermaid birthday cake! Echo requested a plum cake with mermaid decorations, I don't know where the plum cake idea came from but it turned out pretty well!
For a party favor and activity the guests painted small wooden treasure chests.
Echo got this sweet mermaid tail blanket as one of her presents. Overall it was a lovely party and sweet day with friends!

Scooter Braun was in attendance at the Music Business Association's Music Biz conference, and during an interview with CNN, the celeb manager talked about making a change and influencing others to do the same. He talked about gun control after receiving the Harry Chapin Memorial Humanitarian Award.
The man was honored for his role in organizing the One Love Manchester benefit concert which followed the tragic bombing at Ariana Grande's show.
Not only that, but Braun also helped put together Hand in Hand: A Benefit for Hurricane Relief telethon meant to help out all of the victims of Hurricane Harvey, Maria as well as Irma.
'This town could make a difference. And I know there are many people here who were nervous to do something after Las Vegas – and I get it. You are trying to feed your family, I get it. But go to the local university, go down to Belmont and talk to these kids and ask them what they are going to do in 20 years, and find out what side of history you are going to be on,' the manager said.
He went on: 'And if you actually listen to these kids you might have the bravery to do something and be on the right side of history. This is a simple one – our kids should not be scared in schools.'
As a result, Braun asked the audience to support 'serious, serious background checks for guns.'
Back in February, he opened up about the Manchester bombing while on the podcast, Big Questions With Cal Fussman.
'When she [Ariana Grande] found out fans of hers had died, she was so sad. I mean, she cried for days. There was nothing that could stop us. She felt every pain. Every face they announced, every name – she wore it on her sleeve, like, every bit of emotion, because that is who she is,' he shared.


text: Each time a Native American earned a feather, he would either wear it (but he only wore a couple into battle) or put it on a pole used for special occasions. Once he had collected enough feathers, they were made into a headdress. Because each feather had a special meaning, binding them into a headdress made the feathers even more special. Only the warrior's closest friends were involved in making the headdress. Chiefs also earned their feathers. The most prized feather was the Golden Eagle Feather. Eagles were seen as messengers from God, so this feather was only earned through hardship, loyalty, and strength.
