China has expanded the age range for women eligible for the human papillomavirus vaccine that helps prevent cervical cancer, but potential pent-up demand could add to the existing difficulties in accessing the shots.
Women between the ages of 9 and 45 are now eligible for the 9-valent vaccine against HPV, which targets nine strains of the virus, according to an announcement published by the National Medical Products Administration on Tuesday. Previously, the vaccine was only available for those aged 16 to 26 in China due to a lack of domestic clinical data since its introduction in 2018.
An HPV infection is the main cause of cervical cancer, which ranks as the third most frequent and deadly cancer among women between the ages of 15 and 44 in China. About 98% of cases of cervical cancer in the country are caused by certain types of high-risk HPVs.
However, the inoculation rate of HPV vaccines has remained low in China since the 2-valent shot was first approved in 2016. Less than 1% of girls aged 9 to 14 have received their HPV shots, according to medical journal The Lancet, which cited a supply shortage, high price of imported doses, and low awareness among women and parents as the main challenges for HPV vaccination.
China has so far approved five HPV vaccines, including two that are domestically manufactured, though only the shot from American pharmaceutical company Merck's Gardasil 9 vaccine protects against nine strains of the virus. The 9-valent vaccine has been the most sought-after shot and remains in short supply as production capacity has failed to keep up with demand.
On Tuesday, Merck said it would improve the accessibility of HPV vaccines by expanding global production capacity and increasing supply to the Chinese market. In the first half of 2022, the number of Merck's 9-valent HPV vaccines released on the Chinese market increased by 379% year-on-year to about 9.3 million, though the figure is a fraction of the more than 300 million eligible females aged 9 to 45 in China.
In the southern metropolis of Shenzhen, women receive the 9-valent vaccine slots at public medical institutions through a monthly lottery, with less than 4% of them becoming eligible each month, according to official calculations reported by domestic media. Many women resort to paying a higher price at private clinics, turning to scalpers, or even traveling overseas for a shot before the pandemic.
Ye Ning, who lives in Zhengzhou in the central Henan province, told Sixth Tone that she spent 2,000 yuan ($290) in April hiring a scalper to grab the 9-valent vaccine slot after trying for months since 2020. She received her first dose within a week but ended up paying nearly 6,000 yuan for the three-shot regimen priced at 3,900 yuan.
"I feel a bit distressed to pay scalpers — it's a waste of money," said the 25-year-old using a pseudonym for privacy concerns. "The age limit was approaching, but it seemed unlikely that I could get a slot myself … I wanted to be reassured and prevent the virus by getting a 9-valent vaccine at that time."
Experts and analysts expect the domestic development of HPV vaccines to boost China's vaccine supply and relieve the shortage. Five domestic companies are reportedly developing 9-valent HPV vaccines, which have entered the third phase of clinical trials, with four of them being tested in groups up to 45 years old.

Editorial: Politics (On St. Maarten)POSTED: 01/20/15 7:12 PM
MP Silvio Matser and the UP-leadership had it coming: a call from the opposition National Alliance for the convicted MP to vacate his seat in Parliament.
Since integrity is so high on everybody's agenda this year, it is impossible to shove the opposition's plea aside as politicking, simply because this is a just demand.
Parliament is already in the crosshairs of integrity-researchers and a continued stay in his seat may be good for Matser's pocket but it will do the parliament, and with it the country, a huge disservice.
The same goes for his potential successor Maria Buncamper-Molanus, whose history indicates that she'd rather make peace with this newspaper than forego a seat in Parliament.
Integrity is on the line in these cases and it is time for political leaders to show their colors. Opportunities to show that you mean business do not come by every day.

Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo
Fourteen years after Third Impact, Shinji Ikari awakens to a world he does not remember. He hasn't aged. Much of Earth is laid in ruins, NERV has been dismantled, and people who he once protected have turned against him. Befriending the enigmatic Kaworu Nagisa, Shinji continues the fight against the angels and realizes the fighting is far from over, even when it could be against his former allies. The characters' struggles continue amidst the battles against the angels and each other, spiraling down to what could inevitably be the end of the world.
Soap2Day Review:
Evangelion: 3.0 You Can (Not) Redo – cool movie from 2012 year. The 'best' term is as you know from a relative term: You or I may not even be on the list of someone else whom we consider to be 'the best'. So the general rule is to declare the majority of nations. Like the best, though, for me, it can be considered the most beautiful movie ever made. It's really hard to distinguish the good from the good. Best of all, you need to find out what makes this important. Writing, directing, cinematography and taking into account the effect of taking into account.
The soundtrack of these movie is simple, decieving, full of mischief in its own right. The director is insanely talented guy. It's taken me multiple rewatches and a lot of hours on the wiki to understand everything.
I'm not a true fan of animation, but I'm like that too! I uploaded this movie to Soap2Day, now everyone can see this movie online for free.

There are many, many benefits to involving LED lights however much as could be expected, particularly when we need to save energy on our planet. The light made by LED lights is a lot more secure lighting than that of ordinary lights - principally on the grounds that most lights become extremely hot when utilized and might possibly cause fires. With LED lights you won't ever however much consume your fingers contacting a bulb, regardless of how long it has been lit. Nonetheless, LED lights can (and right now do) fill significantly more needs for the climate of which individuals are ignorant.
Driven lights are normally, and most successfully, planned in colors rather than clear lights. Truly, a portion of the absolute originally p8 led display were intended for Christmas enhancements and so on. This is on the grounds that individuals believed that more secure lights should make certain there were no appalling mishaps happening because of hot lights and dry pine needles or outside leaves, etc during the Christmas season. In any case, exploration, plan and innovation have been refreshed and are constantly being considered for different reasons.
Driven lights are as of now being utilized for surprisingly purposes - and we ought to zero in on integrating LED lighting into significantly a greater amount of the lighting we use. Coming up next are instances of certain manners by which LED lighting has previously been used in our economy:
o Christmas lights, as I referenced before are accessible as LED lights. They have become increasingly more well known since the expense of LED lights decreased around the year 2002.
o Exit signs, traffic signals, for instance, have been utilized with LED innovation rather than different types of lighting.
o Flashlights, toys and other little gadgets are involving LED lights to support a LED light's capacity to keep on working longer than a light with customary bulbs. At the end of the day, batteries really perform better and last longer in stock that uses LED light.
o Elevator press buttons.
o Status markers: the status pointers on a wide range of gear and innovative product have started to utilize LED lighting.
o Motorcycles and bikes as of now have LED lights for more secure evening time riding.
o Movement sensors.
o Glow lights.
o Thin lightweight showcases at spots, for example, metro stations, air terminals, cable cars, parkway signs transports, and ships have been involving LED lighting for a spell. Regardless, I accept that we could utilize this choice significantly more - LED lighting is a method for working on the climate, decrease electric dangers, and dispense with the hopeless cause.
o Light bars on crisis vehicles.
o Automotive high-mounted brake lights and truck and transport brake lights have started to involve LED lighting too.
o Remote controls for sound systems, DVD, TV, and CD players frequently utilize infrared LED lights. It has really been that way for quite a while. Individuals don't frequently see how frequently they need to change far off batteries - except if it seems like they must be changed too regularly. Consequently, you may not see that you own a LED remote until it at last requires a difference in batteries. This happened to me and I understood the amount all the more rarely LED worked product of numerous sorts permit batteries to endure perpetually.
o Back lighting for LCD TVs and shows much of the time utilizes LED innovation.
o New dramatic stage lighting gear is being made in LED lighting for essential red - green - blue courses of action.
Driven lights are as a rule, and most really, planned in colors rather than clear lights. Be that as it may, these pale to dimly hued lights are very successful for some reasons. The brilliant thought of LED lighting is one to get a handle on onto when we connect for elective wellsprings of light and energy. A portion of the absolute initially LED lights were intended for Christmas embellishments, however it doesn't stop there. Driven lights can forestall lamentable home flames happening because of the intensity produced by consuming lights, yet are not close to as modest as we would like right now. Nonetheless, examination, plan and innovation have been refreshed and ways of working on the costs of LED for an ever increasing number of objects are constantly being thought of. I trust and anticipate that later on the LED adjustments we cause will to unquestionably compensate for the expense over the long haul. Due to the capacity of LED lighting to endure longer than basically any remaining types of customary lighting and as a result of the wellbeing issues included, the objective is that LED lighting will turn out to be increasingly more helpful over the long haul.

Startup Entrepreneurs Embrace Technology and Not Big Government Regulation
By SBE Council at 25 March, 2022, 11:32 am
by Raymond J. Keating –
Private sector technology and innovation have made real differences in terms of helping entrepreneurs start up new businesses during the pandemic. That's right. To use the political vernacular of the day, "Big Tech" has been important to startup entrepreneurs.
Meanwhile, big government, which has had "Big Tech" in its regulatory crosshairs supposedly to help the little guy, creates costs and concerns for these small businesses. That would be ironic if it weren't rather straightforward common sense.
These are just some the lessons to be learned from the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council's important and information-packed survey of entrepreneurs who started businesses during the pandemic.
Regarding technology, 89 percent of these entrepreneurs agreed that social media was a major factor in launching their businesses; 87 percent said access to electronic payment options was important; 79 percent cited affordable online ads; 77 percent pointed to e-commerce sites and website builders; 73 percent noted access to "back office" services provided by technology platforms; and 56 percent highlighted access to online marketplaces like Amazon, e-Bay, Shopify, Etsy, and Newegg.
When all of us should be focused on the need to re-energize entrepreneurship in America, these are vital results to recognize and digest. But there's more.
For good measure, 68 percent said they rely on established tech platforms, such as Google, Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Instagram, Microsoft and TikTok, either a great deal (38 percent) or quite a bit (30 percent), with another 22 percent saying somewhat. That tallies up to 90 percent.
Meanwhile, as for big government taking on "Big Tech," 61 percent of these startup entrepreneurs are worried about proposed regulations on tech companies, seeing negatives for those enterprises and for their own businesses.
Among those concerned:
● 58 percent are worried that such tech regulation will make it more expensive for them to access and retain customers
● 58 percent are worried that they will have to pay for services that are currently free to them
● 49 percent are concerned about disrupted communications with current and potential customers 47 percent worry that it will be harder for customers to find their business
● 43 percent believe that customer acquisition will become more difficult.
Politicians and their appointees often try to portray intrusions into the competitive marketplace as government coming to the rescue of the little guy suffering at the hands of big business. That's an old political pitch that made little sense in the past, and as evidenced by fundamental economics and the views of entrepreneurs, even less so today.
The big concern for small business certainly is not the technology firms that have provided powerful tools to make it easier and more affordable to startup and build a business, but instead, it's big government seeking to undermine private sector innovation and investment.
Raymond J. Keating is chief economist for the Small Business & Entrepreneurship Council.

Police body camera footage increases workload, prosecutor says
Boone County Prosecuting Attorney Dan Knight makes it clear he supports the use of body cameras by police officers, but he said the new technology has created a "huge additional workload burden" on his prosecutors who have to review all of the video.
Knight has requested an additional assistant prosecutor in his office's 2015 budget and another office specialist to help with the process of scanning documents to transition the office to a paperless or "e-filing" system.
The new positions would add $109,000 to the prosecutor's budget, which would total $2.5 million for 2015, up from $2.3 million each of the past two years. A proposed county budget is due to the Boone County Commission from county Auditor June Pitchford by Nov. 15.
Pitchford and the county commission hosted budget work sessions Monday with the sheriff's department, offices that receive some support from the 2002 law enforcement sales tax and the prosecutor's office. The commission has set aside time Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to wrap up the budget sessions.
Monday's sessions featured Knight's comments about the additional prosecutorial work generated by body cameras, which are now worn by some 115 Columbia police officers. "I think it is going to be a great thing for law enforcement, no doubt about it," Knight said, adding, "It's creating quite a bit of additional work" for assistant prosecutors.
For instance, one incident that police responded to might generate a one- or two-page report for Knight's office. Now, rather than reviewing that single report, an assistant prosecutor must review what could be "hours" of video evidence, especially if more than one officer responds to a call, Knight said.
When the prosecutor's office receives a case from a Columbia police arrest, the body camera footage is included. Because the footage is part of the case, it must be shared with defense attorneys as part of the discovery process.
Knight told commissioners Monday that he would probably be justified in asking for an additional investigator and support staff, too, because his office is already dealing with "more and more video evidence" even without the body camera footage.
"There certainly would be enough work for those people to do," he said.
In his budget request for an additional prosecutor, Knight said that as of Aug. 25, each prosecutor in his office was handling an average of 438 pending cases.
Presiding Commissioner Dan Atwill said the extra workload resulting from the use of body cameras was a classic case of "unintended consequences."
Knight said the workload likely will increase further if the city's proposed property tax increase is approved by voters in November. The tax would add as many as 40 more police officers over the next five years.
"And each of those new cops will have a body camera," said Northern District Commissioner Janet Thompson, who also worries about the extra time needed for time-strapped public defenders to review all the new video evidence.
"With more police officers on the street, I think it's pretty logical to think there will be more cases coming our way," Knight said.
Columbia Police Assistant Chief John Gordon said the use of body cameras does create an additional burden for the prosecutor's office. "They are having workload issues, anyway. For us, it's obviously proved to be beneficial," he said. "The benefits will outweigh the negatives."
Knight and Gordon both described body cameras and the volume of video evidence as "the new reality." Gordon said the new technology is something the nation will have to deal with and that the police department supports Knight's request for additional staff.
"But I still say the benefits, at least to the Columbia Police Department, are greater," Gordon said. "It's a sad day in the state when an officer's word is not good enough, but this is where we are. … I don't see them going away."
Gordon said University of Missouri police are scheduled to begin using body cameras by mid-November. The Boone County Sheriff's Department is considering a body camera pilot project.

Success! Completing Order...
Merging two brands, Oils2Go and Sharon McDonald.Love is the first step in many for Sharon McDonald to more authentically mentor and coach female entrepreneurs she's been continually connecting with since 2010.
STOWE, Vermont., Feb 24, 2022 -- Sharon McDonald.Love, a female life and entrepreneur coaching business, is welcoming spring by introducing a merging of Sharon McDonald.Love and Oils2Go - two brands owned by Sharon McDonald - to reflect a renewed focus on embracing personal strengths and inspiration, creating a home-life and business you're passionate about.
"I noticed I wasn't following my own advice when I reviewed how I was mentoring and inspiring women over the past 10 years," said Sharon McDonald. "I wasn't embracing my personal call to action in life. I was not helping the women I was serving to connect their mission and wellness within their homes, communities and careers, so that their message is clear. This is the secret sauce of successful women."
Oils2Go, now Sharon McDonald.Love, was created to inspire and empower more women to take control of their personal lives, health, and careers. This brand merge allows McDonald to become that living example of putting aside how you "should" do things and instead connect health, inspiration and a sense of self purpose. This realignment results in consistent messaging across all quadrants of McDonald's life and the lives of her clients.
"I looked at what Oils2Go and Sharon McDonald.Love were truly offering to women separately and it was confusing. I was not showcasing a clear call to action. The soul sisters who sought to work with me were not getting the direction they needed to live the life they uniquely live. When I can help them embrace that, they live in a redeeming way that spills over from their homes into the communities they live and work in, rippling their way across the nations and around the world."
The brand merge includes a top-to-bottom refresh of Sharon McDonald's coaching and wellness company name, logo, graphics, communication, and upcoming website.
The new brand name reflects McDonald's sole focus on love, how it drives everything in life, from family to business, creating a cohesive business identity from Instagram to love-tribe emails. The new brand styling represents McDonald's embracing expression of individual style, instead of jumping on the current 'accepted' bandwagon. From the throwback hippy appeal of the groovy peace sign, to the clashing psychedelic color scheme, and retro typewriter font - it all derives from McDonald's inner love and outer expression of life.
Along with the new rebrand, Sharon McDonald.Love is releasing a distinctive new coaching program, for women to receive the entrepreneurial support they need as they overcome self doubt in rapidly evolving markets.For more information and more images, please email the Sharon Mcdonald.Love team here.

Valves for the Bathtub & Shower
A valve for the tub and shower controls the flow and temperature of your water. Riverbend Home offers an assortment of valves designed to make your shower experience more comfortable. The type of tub and shower valve you need depends on the job you want it to do. Get the temperature and water flow just the way you like it with options from the tub and shower valves in our collection.
Types & Uses of Tub & Shower Valves
The most conventional type of tub and shower valve is the mixing valve. Drawing water from both the hot and cold lines to the shower head, the mixing valve blends them together for the temperature you prefer. The mixing valve does not regulate sudden changes in water temperature or pressure.
A pressure balance valve—also referred to as an anti-scald valve—is another common type of tub and shower valve. A pressure balance valve is designed to even out the water temperature, keeping it from getting too hot or cold as you shower.
A thermostatic valve adjusts the pressure and temperature of hot and cold water to maintain a consistent balance. This tub and shower valve also includes a temperature limit, allowing the user to preset a maximum level to avoid scalding. Many thermostatic shower valves offer a volume control feature so you can preset the amount of water that flows from each outlet.
A diverter valve directs the water from the faucet to the shower head, ideal for a bathroom with a tub/shower combo. A two-way valve uses a rotating control for hot and cold, and a second control diverts water between the tub and shower. A three-way diverter valve is adjustable for both the hot and cold water and includes a central knob that redirects water between the tub and shower.
A rough-in valve is installed behind the wall. Even though it's not visible, a rough-in valve is a required component in every shower. The rough-in valve connects the hot and cold water lines in your shower or tub; a rough-in kit mixes the hot and cold water together to create your preferred shower or bath temperature.
Riverbend Home carries a diverse selection of tub and shower valves; explore the options here to find the right part for your plumbing needs.

Bogleech.com's 2018 Horror Write-off:
Top Ten Illegal Wrestling Moves
Submitted by King Kaiser, Republished With Permission by Thomas F. Johnson (email)
Hey ya smarkin bastards, it's me the Royal Rampage King Kaizer, and I'm sure you've all heard of wrestling moves too hot for the leagues. This business is a rough one and all the spine breakers, head crackers and ball busters have ended careers or even lives over time or over just a moment.
But there's a bottom of the barrel and there's an ass to the whole wrestlefans, and I got ten o the worst of these! They're from outside the main leagues, so you ain't gonna see 'em on other lists, but ol King Kaiser has got you covered! Here is the TOP TEN MOST ILLEGAL WRESTLING MOVES!
Number 10 is the Jewel Polisher, like the Shattered Dreams it targets the most sensitive part of a man's anatomy! The pelvis! And also the testicles, that too. It's like throwin a couple of diamonds on a bathroom floor, breaks the diamonds n the tile! For the longest time in his early career the Meat Machine Rory Callahan used this until he got his most prominent move the Grillhammer!
But it wasn't just a shiny new tool in the box that stopped this, oh no, it was the promoters. Rory used to say it was too hot for TV, but the permanent injuries to the bone box and the boys that saw them talk about pissing blood said otherwise!
Number 9 is the Knifespin, more for what the guy doin it was willin to go through to make it happen than what it does. Tho, the way it whips around to dislocate every goddamn socket is a match ender, and some said a career ender. But no, the way it was illegal was the way Prometheus Protein could do it.
They said no normal person's anatomy could handle the torque or do the twistin. So he went to a fancy plastic surgeon and did things to his tendons I can't even describe. He always walked funny, but boy did that move go off like a dream. So much that nobody else can legally do it, in the ring, or in several states! But, that's just the beginning.
Number 8 is a classic, the Total Treatment! Now, as I said before, we all know about the fact that the most face-shatteringly life-endingly deadly moves are the ones that target the neck and the spine, and most lists'd end off with Triple H's Original Pedigree or the Burning Hammer. But most people haven't met Doc Shatter, one of the best goddamn wrestlers you ain't heard of.
He was supposedly be a chiropractor before, but the man knew his way around a human spine, and he knew how to do things with it he wouldn't believe. The Total Treatment was a drop n a series of pressure-pokes I can't even describe full-on, but it took the damn spine n near broke it, then fixed it just fine, immediately. It was fine, but it hurt so bad even yours truly was cryin like a baby, Kaisermaniacs!
But the long term damage wasn't so hot, and poor Doc retired after long-time opponent Snakewood had a back blow up in the ring. When the doctors came they said he'd been dead for three days before. Doc said he could feel the blood sprayin on his face still.
Number 7 is the Mass Driver. It was more illegal due to property damage, but still, hot damn was it some property damage. It was mostly the move of Newton Law, the wrestlin physicist. HE'd always do these weird rituals, walk in place for hours n hours, pick up stuff n put 'em down.
It's like he was doin a real life video game, if you're rollin up what I put down Kaisermaniacs. Everybody made jokes about "OCD," nobody laughed when he did his thing. It was just a few body movies, but he launched like a goddamn rocket right through 'em. You could swear you could see the ropes go through 'em when they hurtled up, and god damn if that radar gun he gave to some fucker on the sidelines wasn't some genius shit.
But, somebody else tried to do it, I don't remember who. There'd've been a court case except there was nothin left! You couldn't legally stand within 20 yards of that arena after that! Said they fucked up the physics, thought it might be contagious.
Now the ol Royal Rampage King Kaizer didn't believe 'em until he saw the pictures. I aint too proud to admit, I probably ended up puking a few times during that. It's like a fever dream mixed with the feelin of an eye gougin concussion on film. Can't blame 'em. But Newton didn't deserve it, and that my Kaizermaniacs is what I'll say till my dying day.
Number 6 is the Funky Imbunche. Boy lemmee tellya, fuck The Great Medicini, he stole the moves from every guy I knew of, undercut up-n-comers, sold merch that scammed or poisoned every goddamn person, handed out pills that ruined careers, and he's the meanest bastard motherfucker to every guy I knew of. I could tell you stories of what he did to the women he knew, but that's an allegation he'd take me to court for.
Nobody touched him because of the Funky Imbunche, the one thing he had for an original and half of it he stole from Doc Shatter. It broke those bones alright, but it broke other things, n fixed 'em back wrong. Twsted. Broke their brains n their spirits I think too.
He could legally keep 'em because they no longer qualified as human according to law, and they said he could legally use 'em in the ring cause they were part o the move. I guess they could look the other way for a charismatic prettyboy, even as they used the ol Royal Rampage myself as their meal ticket.
I hate myself for lookin the other way as long as I did, before I got 'em to stop. But he got off scott free, like the snake oil salesman he is.
Number 5 is the Hippie Trippy Homicide. Lemony Bell's hippie gimmick got dark as fuck in the 90s, and nowhere was that clearer when I saw that Hippie Dippy Homicide. First time we saw it was when he was up against Rory "The Nail" Polland.
I was a guest commentator. And Lemony was comin in late. And as we were stallin, he showed up to the ring. Wild eyed, like a madman, he had patches all over him and I could see the veins chiaroscuro the scars. Lemmee tell ya Kaizermaniacs, I knew Lemony'd been on hard times, I knew he'd been tryin to use some powerful stuff to cope, but not like this, not with the look in his eyes.
The broadcast was recalled from the airwaves, same with the other five, but I can tell you what we saw. He drug 'em down, into his mindscape, in his nightmare with all the pills n the pit, and god the look on Rory's face when they took 'em out on the stretcher. How they couldn't look at Lemony.
It was a breather, lemmee tell ya Kaizermaniacs, to find out Lemony'd been in a coma, all those times. The pills'd got 'em, he'd been in bed the whole time. It wasn't him he said when he'd woke up, it was the pills; the drugs doin it. Tried to take his game to a higher level, took 'em to somewhere else.
And that is why the Hippie Dippy Homicide is illegal .
Number 4 is the Exodus Mass. Now, we all know about the cult gimmicks in the business. But the one we never knew if it was his real gimmick or not was Brother White. Kid was a good wrestler; potentially graitl until he got with Medicini, then shit changed.
He wore the robes, talked the talk, and got these weird masko fuckers following 'em into the ring. Well, lemmee tell ya Kaisermaniacs, the Royal Rampage didn't cotton to this. He never talked anymore with anyone but them, until that one night.
They said it was a stunt, but I saw what they did to themselves, that wasn't no prop. You can't fake a mass disembowelment like that, not on a wrestling budget, not on TV.
And what it did to his opponent; Red Giant wasn't no stunt either, you could just see something leave 'em. They said when they opened him up that it was just like his entire brain; nerves n bones just gone for god knows where.
They put White in the asylum after that. But that Medicini never got caught. But, that's just allegations, I can't say any more.
On a lighter note, Number 3 is the Corpse Candleman. It's not illegal to do this one, but the only one that's not okay to plan to do. They had to re-write the rulebook for that one when it first happened!
The ol Royal Rampage was just a Regent Rumpus when he heard about it from ol Sam Randal; legend in his time in the old days when he was just an up-n-comer. It was on a winter night that he was supposed to fight Gene Harley.
The news got in Gene Harley died in a car accident, and lemmee tell ya Kaisermaniacs, he was mighty sore. But before they could call the match off, the stadium doors opened n there was a blue light like a fire. and before he'd got a word out he heard a voice sayin' "Sam, I wouldn't miss this match for the devil himself."
The thing in the blue light took five steps before Sam passed out from fright. Suicide's frowned upon, but this is a competitive business and you gotta be careful. You could say it's just a ghost story, but I saw the med details on thing that "Gene" left behind and; yikes...
Number 2 is what they did to Charlie. Charlie, my friend, the only person who could stand up to me in the ring, & who stood up to Medicini out of it. That's why he's gone now.
I can't say what they did because you can't describe it. You can describe how to break a human spine but you can't describe how you contort your body to break history, make someone gone, so gone nobody but that rat bastard and me, the ol Royal Rampage remembers him.
I have his stuff, and I can see it tearing away by the day like muscles being dragged down into the thing I can't describe. All that's going to be left is what I remember of him and even then that ain't sure.
And Number 1, oh yes Number One. Now Kaisermaniacs, you and I know that you aren't ever gonna get hit by any of these. But I know who's gonna get hit by Number One, and it's you Medicini, you lousy piece of shit!
There's a reason I bring you up Medicini, your egotistical horseshit and I know it's gonna bring you here. Here into this grapple on the page, here into the movement of the type, where every single word is coming together, to slam you through the page, on the ground, and down down DOWN, where you belong!
Do you FEEL it Medicini? Do you feel the eyes of God upon you?! Do the words becoming hands slowly dragging you down, burning into a spiral of madness as the ring ensnares you from the thousand memories of what you've done?! The story is the move, and it's the ol Royal Rampage comin atcha in the text is the medium is the message is the muscle is the massacre that will bring you down, down DOWN, into where God and man can't find you because god has left this place and he has left you!~
Yes dear Kaisermaniacs, Number One is this article itself, the list and the nightmar to twist and trap the bastard who it's meant for in the page itself and the page to somewhere else! I'd say I'll see you in Hell Medicini, but knowing where it's gonna take ya, you'll just be wishing you were there...

Food Security | VOL. 5
Food insecurity and coping strategies in South-West Nigeria
Publication Date Apr 25, 2013
Food insecurity and coping strategies in Ado-Ekiti, Ekiti State in the south-western part of Nigeria were studied by means of a multistage sampling technique. Data were collected from 80 households, consisting of 321 members, with the aid of a well-structured questionnaire, and were analysed using a Food Insecurity Index. The overall incidence of food insecurity was 58.8 % while the depth of food insecurity, expressed as the average percent increase in calories required to meet the recommended daily requirement, was 19.5 %. Thus, the study confirmed the widespread existence of household food insecurity but with mild severity. Food insecurity indices declined with higher levels of income and educational attainment but increased with household size and number of dependants. Incidence of food insecurity was slightly higher among female headed than male headed households but the depth and severity were lower. Eating less expensive and less preferred food and reducing portion sizes were the three most common coping strategies for combating short-term food shortages. Policies that would enhance income earning capacity of household members and their access to higher education, well-focused gender specific interventions and promotion of backyard farming are advocated.

In this post, I am going cite the textual notes of the New English Translation (NET) of the Holy Bible in relation to specific Old Testament (OT) references, where the scholars acknowledge that the Hebrew Bible employs plural pronouns, verbs, adjectives, participles, etc., for one true God. Yet instead of admitting that these hint at the Triunity of God, serving as an OT basis for the revelation of God existing as a multi-Personal Being, these Evangelicals offer other reasons in explaining why the inspired authors employed such plurals to describe the true God.
It is apparent why they do so since they do not want to disturb academia, particularly liberal scholarship, which frowns upon anyone who would dare to establish the foundation for the doctrine of the Trinity from the OT writings. To these scholars, the Trinity is not even an explicitly New Testament (NT) teaching, let alone a revelation that can be solidly anchored in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, if we set aside these liberal assumptions and simply let the God-breathed Scriptures speak for themselves then these examples of where plural pronouns, verbs, participles, etc., which are used in relation to the true God are just one of many lines of evidence showing that the later, more fuller revelation of God's Triunity is based on the sound exegesis of the OT.
With that said I now present the NET's text notes which affirm that God is often spoken of as being a plural Entity, even though the scholars and translators of this specific version seek to explain this phenomenon away by offering other interpretations of why the inspired authors used such plurals for the one true God.
"Then God said, 'Let US make humankind in OUR image, according to OUR likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the wild animals of the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.' So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them."
sn The plural form of the verb has been the subject of much discussion through the years, and not surprisingly several suggestions have been put forward. Many Christian theologians interpret it as an early hint of plurality within the Godhead, but this view imposes later trinitarian concepts on the ancient text. Some have suggested the plural verb indicates majesty, but the plural of majesty is not used with verbs. C. Westermann (Genesis, 1:145) argues for a plural of "deliberation" here, but his proposed examples of this use (2 Sam 24:14; Isa 6:8) do not actually support his theory. In 2 Sam 24:14 David uses the plural as representative of all Israel, and in Isa 6:8 the Lord speaks on behalf of his heavenly court. In its ancient Israelite context the plural is most naturally understood as referring to God and his heavenly court (see 1 Kgs 22:19-22; Job 1:6-12; 2:1-6; Isa 6:1-8). (The most well-known members of this court are God's messengers, or angels. In Gen 3:5 the serpent may refer to this group as "gods/divine beings." See the note on the word "evil" in 3:5.) If this is the case, God invites the heavenly court to participate at the creation of humankind (perhaps in the role of offering praise, see Job 38:7), but he himself is the one who does the actual creative work (v. 27). Of course, this view does assume that the members of the heavenly court possess the divine "image" in some way. Since the image is closely associated with rulership, perhaps they share the divine image in that they, together with God and under his royal authority, are the executive authority over the world. (NET https://netbible.org/bible/Genesis+1; underline emphasis mine)
"for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing (kelohim yodae) good and evil.'… Then the Lord God said, 'See, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever'—"
tn Or "like divine beings who know." It is unclear how THE PLURAL PARTICIPLE participle translated "knowing" is functioning. On the one hand, יֹדְעֵי (yodʿe) could be taken as a substantival participle functioning as a predicative adjective in the sentence. In this case one might translate: "You will be, like God himself, knowers of good and evil." On the other hand, it could be taken as an attributive adjective modifying אֱלֹהִים (ʾelohim). In this case אֱלֹהִים has to be taken as a numerical plural referring to "gods," meaning "divine or heavenly beings," because if the one true God were the intended referent, a singular form of the participle would appear as a modifier. Following this line of interpretation, one could translate, "You will be like divine beings who know good and evil." The following context may support this translation, for in 3:22 God says to an unidentified group, "Look, the man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil." It is possible that God is addressing his heavenly court (see the note on the word "make" in 1:26), the members of which can be called "gods" or "divine/heavenly beings" from the ancient Israelite perspective (cf. KJV, NAB, JPS). (We know some of these beings as messengers or "angels.") An examination of parallel constructions shows that a predicative understanding ("you will be, like God himself, knowers of good and evil,") is possible (see Gen 27:23, where "hairy" is predicative, complementing the verb "to be"). Other evidence suggests that the participle is attributive, modifying "divine/heavenly beings" (see Ps 31:12; Isa 1:30; 13:14; 16:2; 29:5; 58:11; Jer 14:9; 20:9; 23:9; 31:12; 48:41; 49:22; Hos 7:11; Amos 4:11). In all of these texts, where a comparative clause and accompanying adjective/participle follow a copulative ("to be") verb, the adjective/participle is attributive after the noun in the comparative clause. The translation of "God," though, is supported by how אֱלֹהִים (ʾelohim) is used in the surrounding context where it always refers to the true God and many translations take it this way (cf. NIV, TNIV, RSV, NRSV, ESV, HCSB, NLT, NASB, REB, and NKJV). In this interpretation the plural participle refers to Adam and Eve. (NET https://netbible.org/bible/Genesis+3; capital and underline emphasis mine)
"'Come, let US go down (neradah), and confuse (wanabalah) their language there, so that they will not understand one another's speech.' So the LORD scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city."
tn The cohortatives mirror the cohortatives of the people. They build to ascend the heavens; God comes down to destroy their language. God speaks here to his angelic assembly. See the notes on the word "make" in 1:26 and "know" in 3:5, as well as Jub. 10:22-23, where an angel recounts this incident and says "And the Lord our God said to us…. And the Lord went down and we went down with him. And we saw the city and the tower which the sons of men built." On the chiastic structure of the story, see G. J. Wenham, Genesis (WBC), 1:235. (NET https://netbible.org/bible/Genesis+11; underline emphasis mine)
"And when God caused me to wander (hitu oti elohim) from my father's house, I said to her, 'This is the kindness you must do me: at every place to which we come, say of me, He is my brother.'"
tn The Hebrew verb is plural. This may be a case of grammatical agreement with the name for God, which is plural in form. However, when this plural name refers to the one true God, accompanying predicates are usually singular in form. Perhaps Abraham is accommodating his speech to Abimelech's polytheistic perspective. (See GKC 463 §145.i.) If so, one should translate, "when THE GODS made me wander." (NET https://netbible.org/bible/Genesis+20; capital and underline emphasis mine)
"and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel, because it was there that God had revealed himself (elohim niglu) to him when he fled from his brother."
19 tn Heb "revealed themselves." The verb נִגְלוּ (niglu), translated "revealed himself," is plural, even though one expects the singular form with the plural of majesty. Perhaps אֱלֹהִים (ʾelohim) is here a numerical plural, referring both to God and the angelic beings that appeared to Jacob. See the note on the word "know" in Gen 3:5. (NET https://netbible.org/bible/Genesis+35; underline emphasis mine)
"But Joshua said to the people, 'You cannot serve the LORD, for he is a holy God (YHVH ki elohim qadoshim hu). He is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions or your sins.'"
tn In the Hebrew text both the divine name (אֱלֹהִים, ʾelohim) and the adjective (קְדֹשִׁים, qdoshim, "holy") are plural. Normally the divine name, when referring to the one true God, takes singular modifiers, but this is a rare exception where the adjective agrees grammatically with the honorific plural noun. See GKC §124.i and IBHS 122. (NET https://netbible.org/bible/Joshua+24; underline emphasis mine)
"Who is like your people, like Israel? Is there another nation on earth whose God went (haleku elohim) to redeem it as a people, and to make a name for himself, doing great and awesome things for them, by driving out before his people nations and their gods?"
tn The verb is plural in Hebrew, agreeing grammatically with the divine name, which is a plural of degree. (NET https://netbible.org/bible/2+Samuel+7; underline emphasis mine)
"People will say, 'Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges (elohim shophetim) on earth.'"
29 tn The plural participle is unusual here if the preceding אֱלֹהִים (ʾelohim) is here a plural of majesty, referring to the one true God. Occasionally the plural of majesty does take a plural attributive (see GKC 428-29 §132.h). It is possible that the final mem (ם) on the participle is enclitic, and that it was later misunderstood as a plural ending. Another option is to translate, "Yes indeed, THERE ARE GODS who judge in the earth." In this case, the statement reflects the polytheistic mindset of pagan observers who, despite their theological ignorance, nevertheless recognize divine retribution when they see it.

"I have not learned wisdom, nor have I knowledge of the holy ones (qadoshim). Who has ascended to heaven and come down? Who has gathered the wind in the hollow of the hand? Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is the person's name? And what is the name of the person's child? Surely you know!"
tn The epithet "the Holy One" is the adjective "holy" put in the masculine plural (as in 9:10). This will harmonize with the plural of majesty used to explain the plural with titles for God. However, NRSV takes the plural as a reference to the "holy ones," presumably referring to angelic beings.
sn The reference to "son" in this passage has prompted many suggestions down through the years: It was identified as Israel in the Jewish Midrashim, the Logos or demiurge by some of the philosophers and allegorical writers, as simple poetic parallelism without a separate identity by some critical scholars, and as Jesus by Christian commentators. Parallels with Ugaritic are interesting because Baal is referred to as a son, but that is bound up within the pantheon where there was a father god. Some of the Jewish commentators exhibit a strange logic in expressing what Christians would say is only their blindness to the full revelation: There is little cogency in this being a reference to Jesus because if there had been such a person at any time in the past he would have left some tradition about it through his descendants (J. H. Greenstone, Proverbs, 317). But Judaism has taught from THE EARLIEST TIMES that Messiah was preexistent (especially in view of Micah 5 and Daniel 7); and the claims of Jesus in the Gospels bear this out. It seems best to say that there is a hint here of the nature of the Messiah as Son, a hint that will later be revealed in full through the incarnation. (NET https://netbible.org/bible/Proverbs+30; capital and underline emphasis mine)
It is refreshing to see the translators' willingness to acknowledge that v. 4 does hint at the divine prehuman existence of the Messiah as God's Son, even though they fail to appreciate how the plural adjective qadoshim in v. 3 is specifically employed because the verse that immediately follows speaks of two divine Holy Ones, namely God and his Son.

At a time when Saudi-US relations were strained against the backdrop of the OPEC Plus alliance's decision to cut crude oil production, a report by the "Economist" magazine described the relationship between the two countries as a " unhappy marriage" that will continue for years to come.
And the report of the British magazine considers that the separation of the wife in Saudi Arabia is a repetition of the divorce three times, but "fortunately … the separation is more difficult in diplomacy."
"The Economist" believes that a complete breakdown of relations is completely unlikely, despite the "erosion" of the "oil-for-security" agreement that has underpinned Washington's relationship with Riyadh for decades.
The report said that "no one knows what will replace it," referring to the "oil for security" that has anchored US relations with the Arab Gulf states.
Since October 5, when the Organization of Petroleum Producing Countries (OPEC) and its allies, known as "OPEC Plus", decided to cut oil production by 2 million barrels per day starting in November, relations between the United States and Riyadh have fallen to their lowest level in decades, according to the magazine.
The Democrats in Washington appear determined to abandon their partner of 77 years, said the "Economist" report, which also noted that the Gulf states are angered by what they see as "America's cynical and disrespectful tone."
President Joe Biden accused Saudi Arabia of siding with Russia because high prices would revive Vladimir Putin's treasury, saying "there will be some consequences" for the kingdom.
The US administration also announced that it would "re-evaluate" relations between Washington and Riyadh against the backdrop of this decision, which exceeded analysts' expectations.
The Saudi Foreign Ministry responded to Biden's pledge to re-evaluate relations with Riyadh after the OPEC Plus alliance decision with an "extraordinary" statement, accusing the United States of distorting the facts and saying said the White House had requested a one-month delay. in the reduction.
"Stick in Misery"
Saudi Arabia insisted that the decision comes within a "purely economic" framework and is not related to politics, as Democrats in Washington believe that the Saudis want to help the Republicans in the midterm elections; Because high oil prices are hurting the current administration.
Other Gulf states have sided with Saudi Arabia and issued statements supporting Riyadh. Kuwait and Bahrain, both members of the OPEC Plus alliance and partners of the United States, said they had agreed to cut production.
Even the UAE, which sometimes disagrees with Saudi Arabia on oil policy, has publicly supported Riyadh.
On the sidelines of a conference in Abu Dhabi earlier this month, an Emirati energy executive was angry about Washington's response to the production cuts.
The official believes this is rhetoric from the colonial era. "Who is this? Who is Joe Biden? These are our resources," he growled.
Emirati professor of political science, Abdul Khaliq Abdullah, said that Democrats need to "wake up" and accept that the Gulf is "ready to say no to America."
Ali al-Shihabi, a Saudi political analyst close to the royal court, questioned whether the kingdom would withdraw from OPEC and form a smaller private alliance.
"Saudi Arabia can easily function without OPEC and coordinate production with two or three major players in particular," he said.
In a related context, Martin Indyk, a fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations in New York, a former adviser on Middle East affairs to former US President Barack Obama, said Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman had disowned on his commitment to Biden to provide additional oil.
"That was the commitment the crown prince made when the president (Biden) was there. But there was an agreement not to announce the details. They didn't honor that commitment," said Indyk, speaking online for an event sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.
Indyk described Saudi Arabia's reluctance to consider the bigger picture or its relationship with the United States as "extremely problematic."
The Economist report indicates that the Saudis and their neighbors are unwilling to give away billions in revenue to help Biden's party win a few more votes.
After two decades of disastrous wars in the region, most Americans want to get away from it. Some Gulf officials hope that a possible presidency of Donald Trump in 2025 will strengthen relations with Washington, but his wing in the Republican Party is not keen to protect the oil-rich Gulf states.
Despite their frustrations with the United States, the Gulf states do not have a good alternative, since Russia cannot act as a protector and supplier of weapons.
With his military faltering in Ukraine, Putin needs whatever weapons his economy, crippled by sanctions against the impact of his own fighting, can produce. Russia also offers few prospects for trade and investment.
China is a more useful partner, as it is not bothered by human rights issues, and Beijing is a major source of investment, but it is not interested in ensuring the security of the Gulf. China, like Russia, maintains friendly relations with Iran, the arch-rival of the Arab Gulf states.
That is why America and the Gulf states are at least for the time being "miserably stuck".
