Abandoned Villages by Stephen Fisk
This entry was posted on March 7, 2018.
I retired in 2003. Having worked as a clinical psychologist I left with no plans at all for the future, but reasonably confident that new interests and activities would soon begin to come along. One of my biggest interests since then has been the abandoned villages of Britain.
An early inspiration was Richard Muir's wonderful book The Lost Villages of Britain. Before long I was exploring the sites of villages not far from my home in South Wales. Cosmeston, the only deserted medieval village that has been reconstructed; Kenfig, the castle and town built by the Anglo-Normans as part of their attempt to conquer this part of Wales, but almost completely covered by sand during huge storms in the fifteenth century.
Over the next few years I enjoyed trips to all parts of Britain. In Sussex, for example, I went to Tide Mills and Lowfield Heath. Tide Mills got its name as it was close to a flour mill driven by tidal power. The mill closed in 1883, but the village survived until the early part of World War Two. Lowfield Heath, on the main road from London to Brighton, lost its attractions after the development of Gatwick airport very close to it. By 1974 everyone had moved away and it was turned into a trading estate (but luckily one of my favourite churches was allowed to remain standing).
Another trip took me to Lancashire and Greater Manchester. Local history expert Alan Crosby was kind enough to meet me at Haslingden Grane and show me around the valley. Many fascinating ruins survive, the most splendid being Top o' th' Knoll, the home of Andrew Scholes. Andrew Scholes, otherwise known as Owd Andrey, was a poet and violinist, but remembered above all for building a cart inside his house and then finding it was just too big to get out of the door.
On the same trip I visited three reservoirs close to Rochdale. In the Cowm valley life became increasingly difficult after the reservoir was constructed and the last residents moved out in 1950. Both Watergove and Greenbooth reservoirs have textile mills and small villages submerged beneath them.
A longer and very memorable trip took me around much of Scotland. I saw several places near the sea where in various ways shifting sand led to villages being abandoned; the remains of villages close to mining and industrial enterprises that were gradually deserted after those enterprises came to an end; and in the far north of Scotland the empty sites of communities where people were evicted during the Highland Clearances of the nineteenth century.
After a while I began to think about publishing the results of my travels and research. A book or website were the options. I decided to develop a website, the Abandoned Communities website, and I am very glad I made that choice. A website makes it much easier for readers to get in touch, and I have many people to thank for telling me about abandoned villages I did not know about; people who lived in abandoned villages or their descendants who have given me information and photographs of life in their village while it still existed; and even one or two people who have explained the meaning of local words or have offered to read or interpret old documents that I was having trouble with. Having said that, I am now very grateful to Amberley for giving me a chance to produce a book as well.
Stephen Fisk's new book Abandoned Villages is available for purchase now.

Is Your Dog Licking Paws Uncontrollably? Here's What You Can Do About It
- May 28, 2019
- Becky Bruce
- 0 Comments
Dogs groom themselves multiple times throughout the day. So while paw licking can be annoying, it's generally nothing to worry about. However, if your dog's licking paws until the skin is red and inflamed, it's probably a sign that something else is wrong.
So, what makes a dog lick paws until they're raw? And what can you do to stop it?
Why Is My Dog Licking Its Paws?
Here are the four most common reasons that dogs lick their paws more than usual:
Dry Skin or Allergies
Hyperkeratosis is a common skin condition in dogs that results in thickened skin on dog paws. (It usually comes on in the first few years of your dog's life.) All the excess keratin makes the paw pads extremely thick and dry to the point that even walking can be painful.
Weather and the elements can also put a beating on your dog's paws. Without treatment, burnt or dry paw pads can crack or bleed over time. And when your dog licks itself, the injury could become infected.
When it comes to allergies, most anything is fair game. Food, chemicals in the yard, mold, pollen, certain types of carpet — you name it. When exposed, a dog's skin can become red and extremely itchy. (According to BMC Veterinary Research, beef is the number-one allergen for dogs.)
And don't forget fleas and ticks. Both can cause extremely itchy sores, especially if your dog is allergic.
Yeast Infections
Yeast dermatitis is a common skin condition in dogs that causes the skin to overproduce oil and become extremely itchy. Then, when your dog scratches and starts licking paws, the yeast spreads. It's a vicious cycle that often requires antifungal medication to control.
Besides itchiness and inflammation, one of the key symptoms of a yeast infection is rancid, rotten-smelling skin. (It smells really bad.) Dogs with a lot of skin folds, like Bulldogs and Pugs, are predisposed for this type of infection.
Pain and Arthritis
Dogs have a strong instinct to lick and clean their wounds. Even if the pain is somewhere other than their paws, they may lick them as a comforting mechanism. If you notice your dog is also reluctant to play, losing weight, or generally more grumpy than normal, take a trip to the vet.
If your dog is anxious or stressed, it might lick itself similar to the way humans bite nails when they're nervous; it gives them relief. Take note if your pup starts licking at its paws around the same time every single day, like right before a nap or going to bed. That's a big sign that the licking is behavioral. As long as there are no signs of injury (redness, swelling, hair loss, etc.), anxious licking isn't a major cause for concern.
Consider your own stress level too — you might be the problem. A study from 2019 confirmed what most dog owners always knew to be true: Dogs can read non-verbal cues and empathize with owners' anxiety.
How to Stop Your Dog From Constantly Licking Its Paws
Before you can truly help your dog, it's important to figure out what's causing all the licking. Here are a few steps that will help you identify the underlying problem and determine if you should consult with your vet.
Check for injuries, debris, and bites
The first thing you should do is to inspect your dog's paws. Do you see any glass or debris? Is a burr stuck between its toes? If the paw pad is cut or bleeding, then your dog is probably licking to clean the wound. If the paw pad is cracked or inflamed, it's likely your pup is suffering from either dry skin, allergies, or a flea bite.
Treat symptoms with an all-natural balm or soaking bath
Chewing on irritated paws can make the problem worse, so it's important to help your dog manage the symptoms while you investigate the root issue.
A soothing balm is one of the best ways to reduce itchiness and start the healing process. Once applied, try brushing or distracting your pup for about five to 10 minutes so that most of the balm soaks into the skin. Remember: Make sure to choose an all-natural balm that's safe to consume when your dog's licking paws.
A 15-minute soaking bath is another great option. Here are three all-natural recipes to try:
- Colloidal oatmeal. Yep, the same thing you bathed in as a kid with chicken pox works well for dogs too. We recommend using an oatmeal shampoo that's hypoallergenic or labeled for dogs with sensitive skin. Very few shampoos are all natural, but those usually have the least amount of lower quality ingredients, like formaldehyde.
- Epsom salt. Salts can raise your dog's natural pH level, which can help to kill bacteria that causes inflammation. Follow the directions on the product to determine the appropriate amount of salt and soaking time.
- Baking soda. Like salt, baking soda can impact skin pH and acts as an anti-inflammatory to soothe the skin. Plus, it'll help freshen your dog's coat as well!
Consult your veterinarian
If the paw licking hasn't improved after a week or so, consult with your veterinarian. Some conditions, like allergies or hyperkeratosis, can be easily managed with good habits, soothing balms, and a limited ingredient. But others, like arthritis or GI diseases, require more intensive care and can be far more uncomfortable for your canine friend.

This is the story of how we began producing chocolate at LICC (and why you now see so many delicious chocolate pictures posted on my social media on a regular basis…….sorry-ooooooo)
If you know me well, then you know that there is no food that I value higher than chocolate. I am my mother's daughter through and through when it comes to love of chocolate and all things cocoa. If I could eat chocolate for breakfast, lunch, and dinner every day I probably would….
So you can imagine my delight when I realized that right here in this little town I now call home people are growing cocoa beans. I had heard someone mention cocoa beans in the midst of telling some other story (somehow the cocoa was not the main point of the story?!) and after tracing down this rumor a bit I was able to get some information on where I might be able to buy some cocoa for myself. Our driver Mark and I went out into town in search of it and were able to find the jackpot!!
I later found out that the place where we bought the cocoa beans was not actually technically supposed to be selling retail. They were actually a warehouse, a middleman, that acts as a storing facility. The farmers from the local villages bring their beans here for sale (or reps from the warehouse go out an purchase) and the beans are then kept in the warehouse in Ganta until they can be transported to Monrovia. Once in Monrovia, they head to the cargo ships and then most likely make their way to Europe for chocolate production. I was happy I was able to snag some before they made that long journey!
I ended up buying 2 kg (which ended up being closer to about 3 kg with how they "top things off" in Liberia) for 350 Liberian Dollars, which at that time was equivalent to about $2.80 USD. We got the cocoa beans home and really didn't have any idea what to do with them. We quick hopped on youtube and found some videos and were able to concoct something that resembled the "taste" of chocolate, but was a far cry from the rich and creamy texture of chocolate that we are used to. The problem it turns out was that we could not get a smooth enough grind on the beans without some type of grinding machinery. If there's anyone who knows how to roll full steam ahead on a good idea, it's Bill lol. Within the next month my colleague Bill Sebald had ordered us a melanger on Amazon and had it in the suitcase of his nephew, due to arrive in Liberia the following month. Wait what?!!? That was fast!
In the meantime we continued watching youtube videos to try and learn everything we could about this chocolate making business (which FYI there is still soooo sooo much to learn). Some of the things we learned:
- Our next door neighbor, Ivory Coast, is the #1 cocoa bean exporter in the WORLD and Ghana and Nigeria fall also within the top 10. Liberia is nowhere on the list- for now!
- Liberia imports a lot of chocolate products. There is chocolate sold in every single grocery store and also there is an abundance of hot cocoa mixes sold in even the smallest of tea shops on the street. And yet, NONE of this is produced in Liberia. It is all imported, even though Liberia produces an abundance of cocoa beans.
- Water is the enemy of the cocoa grinding process! One drop of water in your beans can spoil the whole batch! Roast those beans well!
- Peeling the shell off the cocoa beans by hand is one of the most tedious processes ever and leaves your fingers incredibly raw and dirty- worth it though!
- One of our staff members, Konah, is just about as obsessed with chocolate as I am….when we told him we were going to start making chocolate he literally tried to lift Nathan up off the ground in excitement haha.
- Many of my students know people who are producing cocoa beans—which means we could buy directly from the farmers themselves so this is a win-win situation. Win for them (fair price) and win for us (we know and get to interact with our suppliers).
Once we got the melanger, our experiments were taken to the next level. Our first batch was a beautifully dark and rich and creamy success! After that we continued to make a few more batches, even starting to sell some of the product on the local market (although to be fair Konah's wife hardly made it off the campus before it all got bought up lol). Next, we started making it in my Food Processing & Preservation class and we got ourselves even more hooked customers and a couple of chocolatiers we could call upon when it came time to increasing out production. So far I think we have made about 25 batches (so about 200+lbs of chocolate). We have sold it on the local market as well as to international guests when they visit for tours here at the ARC. I also brought home about 20 lbs to the US when we visited over the summer and watching people's reactions as they tried it was absolutely the best and reassuring to me…no I'm not crazy, this chocolate is some of the best stuff I have ever had in my life!
The popularity of our product continues to grow. Since we have been back to Liberia, we are trying to make about 2 batches (8-10lbs) every week. We hope to keep expanding in Ganta, but also to the capital city of Monrovia. As far as we know, there is no one else processing cocoa beans into chocolate in Liberia at this time on this scale. We are constantly looking for sustainable business opportunities to help the school have a more regular and stable source of revenue ( because as of right now the support we receive from donors, the government, and even school fees just isn't enough nor is it terribly reliable). We are also looking for ways to ensure that local farmers are supported in terms of fair market prices when it comes time to sell their product. This could be a great opportunity for the school, for our students, for the farmers, and for the Liberian cocoa value chain and economy as a whole.
We are praying for God to direct our steps with this chocolate experiment turned small business. We are asking God to help this business keeps growing. We are networking and making connections with other people in the cocoa industry, both abroad and here in West Africa, to find out all that we can and make the right connections. We are writing comprehensive business plans, analyzing data, applying for grants, and seeking out investors. Pray that God would help guide us on the next steps. Please pray alongside of us in this venture! And if you have any ideas or connections, please reach out to us so we can brainstorm more together.
In the meantime, I thought I'd share a few photos of our chocolate-making process and you can see how the process has evolved from our first batch of chocolate (which basically looked like dirt but tasted great) to our latest creation (chocolate coconut clusters packaged in beautiful lappa pouches):

There are so many characteristics in a woman that can make her sexy. Whether it's personality, confidence, the way a woman walks, talks, or nurtures – sexiness can come in all forms for women. Outside of characteristics, clothing and fashion really distinguish the difference from what makes a woman look professional, cute, casual, or sexy.
Overall professional looks are pretty standard. There's the basic paint suit or blazer and pin skirt. Casual looks are pretty standard as well. It's easy to throw on a pair of jeans, a cute pair of sandals and fitted tee. The look that seems easy but can be difficult to conquer is the sexy look. Sexy seems like a no-brainer to most women because it seems mindless to throw on a form fitted skirt, a low cut top, and a pair of heels or a fitted dress and a pair of heels. Undoubtedly most women are noticed in these looks but they are not always seen or taken as sexy. The sexiest thing a woman can wear is something that is understated. Here is a list of the sexiest, understated looks for this season that any woman can wear.

4 Easy Car Care Tips for Women
Car care and maintenance is often regarded as something "the men should take care of." This is bogus. Female car owners must know the basics of vehicle maintenance – otherwise, they may find themselves at the mercy of an unscrupulous mechanics…no one wants to buy service or maintenance they don't need.
Here are four care care and maintenance tips that every car-owning woman should know:
1. Keep an eye on your tires
Tires are probably the most important piece of safety equipment on the modern vehicle. If they're in good shape, your car can stop quickly and handle well enough to evade an accident. If, on the other hand, your tires are in bad shape, any number of bad things can happen. Therefore, keep an eye on your tires by:
- Regularly checking tire pressure. On most cars, you need 32-35 psi of pressure in each tire (check your owner's manual to be sure). You can measure your tire pressure using an inexpensive gauge available at any auto parts store.
- Rotate your tires every 8,000 miles or so. Rotation is the best way to make your tires last as long as possible.
- If someone recommends that you replace your tires, get a second opinion (and a few quotes) before buying something. There are more than a few stories of unscrupulous shops selling people tires they don't need.
2. Get regular oil changes
Most owners' manuals recommend oil changes ever 5,000 miles, with some newer vehicles being able to go 7,500 or 10,000 miles between changes. Oil is the life blood of your car's engine and is the key to making your car function as long as possible. Therefore, never ever every forget an oil change. Forgetting just one oil change could cause your engine to suffer major damage.
3. Don't buy expensive service packages
Auto dealers are notorious for offering "service packages" that include a laundry list of maintenance. While these packages can be a good deal, they're often recommended more often than they're needed.
Instead of buying a package, crack open your owner's manual or vehicle service guide and look at the manufacturer's recommendations. You may be surprised to learn that your local dealership or repair shop recommends maintenance more than twice as often as the manufacturer.
4. Beware of inexpensive inspections
If your local auto dealer or repair shop offers to do a "winter inspection" or "A/C inspection" for only $19.99, be suspicious. Inspections fall into two categories – easy and hard. An easy inspection is often done at no charge, as the possibility of finding a problem (and selling service to fix that problem) is enough to justify the time required. Hard inspections are never done cheaply – they usually cost at least one hour of labor or the minimum diagnostic fee.

The "forbidden" treats that can fight dementia
You know what I hate about diets? It's probably the same thing you do -- that when it comes right down to it, most diets aren't really diets.
They're lists. Specifically, lists of don'ts.
Don't eat this... don't eat that... and definitely don't even try that other thing. By they time they're through with you, there's nothing left at all worth eating.
Today I'm going to correct that, because some of the foods you love -- including the very foods you've been told to avoid -- aren't just acceptable "cheats" in my diet.
They're essential parts of it.
And two "don'ts" in particular just might help protect your brain and prevent dementia.
The first is walnuts.
Even mainstream docs will admit that walnuts pack some healthy fats. But they'll also warn you to keep away from them because it's easy to get too much of those fats.
Plus, nuts are loaded with calories.
If you're trying to lose weight, they'll say, you need to limit the calories and fat so pass on the nuts.
But nuts can be a healthy part of a diet, even when you're trying to lose weight. And now, the latest research finds the antioxidants in walnuts can protect your brain as you age and may even help prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Mice fed walnuts daily had improvements in memory and learning skills, and lower levels of anxiety. They also had lower levels of oxidative damage in the brain caused by beta amyloid, the protein linked to Alzheimer's.
As a result, eating walnuts regularly might help prevent the disease, delay the onset or slow the progression.
And it doesn't take much to get the benefits. The mice got the equivalent of about 1-1.5 ounces of walnuts a day -- or just the right amount for a snack.
The study focused on walnuts, but other nuts come with healthy fats, minerals and antioxidants so feel free to mix it up. (Just avoid candy-coated, honey-roasted, caramel-covered and other sugared-up nut treats.)
Now, let me turn another "don't" into a "do."
You like chocolate, right? Of course you do. Everyone does -- and while chocolate does contain sugars and other stuff you don't need, cocoa is loaded with terrific antioxidants, especially the kind that can protect your brain.
In one new study, healthy people over the age of 50 given a special drink packed with cocoa flavanols such as epicatechin saw major improvements in their memory.
There's catch to this study, and it's a pretty big one: They used huge levels of these nutrients, so much so that you'd have to eat about seven chocolate bars a day to get that amount yourself, and that's definitely way too much.
I recommend taking a mixed approach: enjoy a square or two of a quality dark chocolate per day, and get the rest of these nutrients from a quality antioxidant supplement as well as other natural sources such as green tea, black grapes and blackberries.
You'll even find some of those flavanols in wine.
There's one diet that allows you to enjoy all these "don'ts" and more -- and it's just about the healthiest one on the planet. It's the Mediterranean lifestyle filled delicious healthy fats, and even allows for nuts, chocolate and wine.
Not coincidentally, the diet is also proven to protect the brain and slash the risk of dementia.
Even better, it'll give your heart a bulletproof jacket, cutting the risk of heart attack and even stroke.

Tamara Murphy of Elliott Bay Café - Biography
Seattle, WA
Although Tamara Murphy trained in the high-pressure kitchens of the Big Apple as a young chef, Murphy opted for the wider (if grayer) skies and bountiful fresh, local product of Seattle. New York's loss was Chef Murphy's fortune. Not long after starting at Dominique's as a sous chef, Murphy was selected to participate in the Bocuse d'Or. And after two years at the restaurant, Murphy was tapped to take the executive chef helm of Campagne near the famous, fish-flinging Pike Place Market. Not surprisingly, Murphy was nominated for the James Beard Foundation's Rising Star Chef of the Year Award, one of four finalists under thirty. In 1995 she was named Best Chef of the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii—all while accolades poured in from the likes of Food and Wine Magazine (who dubbed her one of the Ten Best New Chefs in America), Bon Appetit, Gourmet, Food Arts, and The New York Times.
And while some chefs might be content to rest on their laurels—especially when they have so very many at such a young age—Murphy jumped at the chance to oversee two operations, and in 1993 helped open Peter Lewis's Café Campagne--which soon became the darling of Seattle foodies. With so much success under her belt, Murphy knew it was time to open her own restaurant. Partnering with Bryan Hill of Campagne, Murphy opened Brasa in 1999, one of the first Seattle restaurants to prioritize sourcing seasonal ingredients from local producers. Murphy has remained a champion of locavore cuisine, in both a culinary and cultural sense. When she took the helm of Elliott Bay Café in 2008, Murphy centered its menu on sustainable and organic products and made the restaurant a kind of community meeting space where local artists and authors could showcase their works. And with just about twenty years advancing the Seattle dining scene, Murphy isn't done. She's spearheaded several events aimed at bridging the gap between farmer and chef, and with her first book, Tender: Farmers, Cooks, Eaters, Murphy brings the tenets of farm-to-table to a wider audience than ever before.
Murphy prioritizes the experience overall, from the food to the wine to the sheer pleasure of good company. Seattleites love the creative food and sensual ambiance and both Food and Wine and Gourmet magazines have recognized Brasa as one of Seattle's top tables. Zagat named it as Seattle's Top Food in Mediterranean Cuisine in 2003.
Never one to be exhausted by so much success, Murphy makes time outside the kitchen. She's been an ardent supporter of FareStart and Share Our Strength / Taste of the Nation. With a focus on children's causes, she has been a featured chef at the Auction of Washington Wines, the second largest charity wine auction in the country, benefiting Children's Hospital. She has also been featured at the March of Dimes annual Star Chef's Gala for the last several years. Tamara makes it a point to be extremely supportive of school children, both through her many donations to school fundraisers and by hosting groups at Brasa, where she invites them into her kitchen and actively involves them in the culinary experience.

High Court Asked To Uphold Prayer at Graduation
Washington--The Bush Administration has urged the U.S. Supreme Court to uphold the constitutionality of nonsectarian prayers at public-school graduations.
In a brief filed Feb. 22, the Justice Department also encouraged the High Court to abolish most, if not all, uses of its 20-year-old, three-prong legal test for the permissibility of religion-related civic practices.
Under the so-called "Lemon test," named after the 1971 case Lemon v. Kurtzman, religion-tinged public activity is allowable only if it has a secular purpose, neither advances nor inhibits religion, and fosters no "excessive" government entanglement in religion.
To explore such issues, Solicitor General Kenneth W. Starr asked the Justices to hear Lee v. Weisman (Case No. 90-1014), in which lower courts prohibited the junior- and senior-high schools of Providence, R.I., from using nondenominational prayers at graduation.
"In our view," Mr. Starr asserted, "the Court should hold that the traditional public acknowledgements of religion at issue here ... do not violate the Establishment Clause because they neither establish any religion nor coerce non-adherents to participate in any religion or religious exercise against their will."
Without taking sides in the dispute, the attorneys general of several states, the National School Boards Association, and the National Association of State Boards of Education also asked the Court to resolve the question of graduation prayer, which has been complicated by conflicting lower-court rulings.
Case History
The Providence case began when Daniel Weisman, the parent of a junior-high student, objected to an invocation and benediction, both delivered by a rabbi, at a 1989 graduation at the school.
In 1990, a federal district court issued an injunction against prayers at graduations at the city's public junior- and senior-high schools. Later that year, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit affirmed that ruling.
Mr. Starr argued that ceremonial prayers reflect U.S. traditions.
"With their reference to God," such invocations "merely respect the religious heritage of the community," he said. Other examples include prayers at such occasions as Presidential inaugurations or the opening of legislative sessions, he said.
Indeed, the Supreme Court itself begins daily sessions with the plea that "God save the United States and this honorable court."
The debate centers on the First Amendment, which states in part that "Congress shall make no rule respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof."
For 20 years, the Lemon test has clouded judicial thought, Mr. Starr claimed, and a "Lemon-spawned cacophony is a commonplace among district courts."
Thus, he urged, the court should "jettison the framework" of the Lemon test whenever "the practice under assault is a non-coercive, ceremonial acknowledgment of the heritage of a deeply religious people."
He proposed that, in many cases, reliance on the Lemon test "be replaced by a single, careful inquiry into whether the practice at issue provides direct benefits to a religion in a manner that threatens the establishment of an official church or compels persons to participate in a religion or religious exercise contrary to their consciences."
He and others also noted that commencements only occur once a year, do not involve a classroom teaching setting, and are geared toward families, not just children, and toward students considered mature enough to understand that the school endorses no specific belief.
In seeking Supreme Court review, Providence school officials argued that "graduation invocations and benedictions cannot sensibly be perceived as a real threat to the fundamental values protected by the First Amendment."
Therefore, they said, the rabbi's "references to the deity ... did not pose any real threat of establishing an official religion in Providence, R.I. It is by no means far-fetched, however, that the decisions of the courts below requiring that school officials ... exclude all references to a deity in future graduation ceremonies will send a message of official hostility toward religion."
A Lack of Clarity?
In another brief, the attorneys general of Utah, Idaho, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, and Wyoming explained that some citizens demand prayers at graduations, others just as bitterly oppose them, and "state agencies and school officials are trapped in the middle."
"Without a decisive resolution of the difficult First Amendment issues raised by prayers at public school ceremonies," the brief added, ''the school systems and communities in our states will continue to be rent by disagreement over what the Constitution allows or prohibits, and financially hard-pressed states will have to expend substantial sums relitigating the same issues."
Similarly, the National Association of State Boards of Education argued that a lack of clarity has "created an environment ripe for intimidation" and will prompt "a surrender by harried school officials to special-interest groups."
However, Americans United for Separation of Church and State, an advocacy group that monitors such issues, is wary of calls for Supreme Court action.
"These are sort of perilous times for those concerned about church-state separation," said Joseph Conn, the group's spokesman. "It's clear that this court is quite willing to consider changes in court policy."
"While it may seem relatively minor or obscure," he added, Providence's suit "could be a very important case" in setting precedents.
Even the federal district judge who ruled against Providence originally sounded sympathetic, noting that "those who are anti-prayer thus have been deemed the victors."
"The hard fact is that sometimes we must make decisions we do not like," Judge Francis J. Boyle wrote.
"An unacceptably high number" of young people are troubled, he said. "School-sponsored prayer might provide hope to sustain them, and principles to guide them in the difficult choices they confront today. But the Constitution as the Supreme Court views it does not permit it."

England clinch ODI series
England's big-hitting duo Moeen Ali and Jos Buttler pulled off a series-clinching Duckworth-Lewis-Stern victory by six runs over West Indies at The Oval.
Moeen and Buttler joined forces in apparent adversity on 181 for five as England's vexed 24 hours off the pitch appeared destined to continue on it.
England were chasing 356 for five after Evin Lewis' 176 and then Alzarri Joseph's maiden five-wicket haul left them well short on DLS.
The sixth-wicket pair had other ideas, though, hauling their team ahead with 11 fours, and two Moeen sixes in his unbeaten 48.
Their stand of 77 in eight overs proved the difference by the time forecast rain terminally halted proceedings on 258 in the 36th.
Jason Roy (84) had taken his unexpected opportunity on his home ground to give England a chance of pushing for their eventual 3-0 lead, with one match remaining in this Royal London Series.
But Joseph interrupted with five for 56, and England seemed in big trouble under lights in the absence of premier all-rounder Ben Stokes and regular opener Alex Hales.
Both were unavailable after Stokes was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm and Hales drove to Bristol to provide evidence of the disorder in which his team-mate was embroiled in the early hours of Monday morning.
Roy was first to go after an opening stand of 126, and four overs later Jonny Bairstow followed in near identical fashion caught-behind.
Joe Root bottom-edged a pull to the wicketkeeper and then Eoin Morgan and Sam Billings fell to outstanding catches - by sub fielder Kyle Hope at fine-leg and then Chris Gayle at a wide slip.
It left England's Bristol six-hitter Moeen and the equally dangerous Buttler badly up against it, but they rose to the occasion.
Lewis, retired hurt after hitting 17 fours and seven sixes, was the Windies' driving force after England chose to bowl on a cloudy afternoon.
He shared stands of 117 for the fourth wicket with Jason Mohammed and then 168 with Jason Holder (77), until he was injured after jamming a ball on to his right ankle.
Chris Woakes (three for 71) ensured the tourists got off to a sticky start.
Gayle was caught at slip off the fourth ball of the match, Shai Hope edged behind and Marlon Samuels went to a marginal lbw decision.
Mohammed was dropped at cover on only nine out of 55 for three by Morgan off Moeen, and the England captain was to miss another costly diving chance in the same position off Liam Plunkett when Holder had just three.
One further missed opportunity was down to Roy, running back at cover after Lewis' mishit at Adil Rashid on 120 - and again it was a significant one as the opener upped the ante to great effect.
He seemed set to record the first ODI double-century in this country until his painful blow off a Jake Ball yorker, and had to leave the field on a stretcher before heading to hospital for X-rays.
Lewis returned in a protective boot, only for the disappointment of watching his team's 15th defeat in their last 16 completed ODIs against England.

Otherwise known as "saline amniocentesis," "salting out," or a "hypertonic saline" abortion, this technique is used after 16 weeks of pregnancy, when enough fluid has accumulated in the amniotic fluid sac surrounding the baby.
A needle is inserted through the mother's abdomen and 50-250 ml (as much as a cup) of amniotic fluid is withdrawn and replaced with a solution of concentrated salt. The baby breathes in, swallowing the salt, and is poisoned. The chemical solution also causes painful burning and deterioration of the baby's skin. Usually, after about an hour, the child dies. The mother goes into labor about 33 to 35 hours after instillation and delivers a dead, burned, and shriveled baby. About 97% of mothers deliver their dead babies within 72 hours.
Hypertonic saline may initiate a condition in the mother called "consumption coagulopathy" (uncontrolled blood clotting throughout the body) with severe hemorrhage as well as other serious side effects on the central nervous system. Seizures, coma, or death may also result from saline inadvertently injected into the woman's vascular system.

Funny Stuff From Victorian London! So They Did Have A Sense Of Humor!
In these famous words by Noel Coward, London explains itself beautifully!
'I don't know what London's coming to,
the higher the building the lower the morals!'
This famous quote by the great writer Noel Coward could encompass the whole of London's History. Along with the weird and wonderful, there was much poverty and grime. The smell could knock you sideways on a good day, and kill you on a bad. But among all this were the men and women who could make you smile, exclaim with wonder and change the humdrum life into something magical.
This is the city where the inventors and scientists began their trade, little knowing that one day the whole World would be using their marvelous inventions. From electricity to Antibiotics. The World started here.
But before that happened we did have some pretty strange characters.
The Burlington Arcade London.
The Curious Case of the Flying Cats
Piccadilly in London is one of the most famous streets in the whole World. But just a short distance away lay a row of tiny shops from the Georgian period. They are hardly changed at all. In fact they were built in 1819.
These are in the Burlington Arcade. And apart from having the character of old London, they are here for, well, a rather strange reason! The arcade was built over a narrow alley that lay beside the rather grand sounding Burlington House. This is now the home of the Royal Academy but it started out as a private house.
Lord George Cavendish was the owner and resident at the time. He used to love sitting in his garden, but often complained of being constantly hit by on his head by apple cores, shells and old bottles!
Even more bizarre he was often bashed on the bonce by a flying cat! Of course the cat was dead, but at the time Lord Cavendish wasn't aware of that, only seeing the fir fly as it came at him over the wall!
After putting up with this for a few months he decided that he was fed up to the back teeth by cats flying, bottles crashing and so on, so decided to build a row of shops so that the thieves, beggars and ruffians could no longer bash him on the head.
You could say that when the shops were built there was no longer enough room to swing a cat! But of course I won't say it!

The Daily Grind
Taking A Stroll in Hyde Park.
The Strange Tale Of How Women Bought Men!
The second we mention the fact that women were buying men back as early as 1820, one thought comes to mind. I mean it would wouldn't it? We are all aware of men doing the same thing back then and of course these days too. But this isn't quite what it seems. Or maybe it is.
A rather strange tradition of women buying men existed in Victorian London. And as the saying goes,
'It was rather the thing to do'!
So, how did this come about? The story starts at the time of the developments of two main London features. Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens.
At this time Kensington Gardens was a private area used only by the Royals of the day and their helpers or courtiers.
On the other hand Hyde Park was open to everybody, so of course it soon turned into a den of iniquity.
Along with the ladies of the night plying their trade, there were robbers and thieves making the Gardens their dens.
So the local girls came up with a plan.
To go for their nightly stroll in Hyde park as they were won't to do back then, the girls, usually servants or maids decided that the best and most safe way was to hire, or buy a man.
And these men were the local soldiers!
They would pay the soldiers to escort them around the park, with the girls showing off their 'wares' to the their friends, and trying to outdo each other by choosing the best looking soldier as their beau!
He would of course have to wear full dress uniform, and polish himself up to the best that he could be!
A walk in the park would cost nine old penny's if you chose an artilleryman, a guardsman would set you back a pretty penny, or should I say, a shilling! The lowest was of course the Private, who only cost sixpence!
If only they would bring it back, how big would the queues be?!

- A Humorous View of London
A humorous view of London written by English Writer Nell Rose
Grope What Lane?!
The modern world is where we always believe that anything goes. We can say what we will, do what we want and nothing ever shocks us.
In the same way we would believe that back in the middle ages and continuing up until the Victorian era things would be completely different.
With all the religious fervor around, and women knowing their place, the old days would of course be so much more reserved, and anything slightly titillating would have been looked on with shock, or even causing a lady to swoon!
Or as they said back then, 'she had a touch of the vapors!'
But it seems that once again we are wrong to assume this idea. In fact there were places and streets that were named after certain, well, more amorous deeds!
For example, during the reign of Charles II, Nell Gwyn was always referred to as the King's Whore, but actually back then it was seen as a sign of endearment, or nearly. There was not the stigma that the word has now.
And if you look at old street maps of London, you may be surprised to find a few rather strange names on the street corners.
Take Addle street, to a medieval person this would mean 'filthy spot'. You can take that any way you like!
And Fetter Lane, which actually still exists, in 1450 meant the street of the dirty beggars.
Here's one you may recognise, and yes good old London started it off! Shiteburn Lane just around the corner from Canon street was named, wait for it.....because of the number of cess pools around that area!
Did I hear you say, well I never? Well yes you did!
But the most famous, and I have to be really careful here......! Was a lane that ran North from an area called Cheapside.
It was called, Grope....t Street! Please add the three letters that are short for well, work it out will you?
It was of course the haunt of 'The ladies of the night'.
There were many street and alley names that we just wouldn't allow today. Some still stand, but others have been changed because according to local people, 'The postman doesn't believe it'!
It's a shame to think that by changing the names of the street, we are in fact losing some of our history. What we see today as rude, was merely the name of simple things back then, like the water butt and so on.
History is all around us, and each day we add to the extraordinary color and substance that was England's, or should I say, London's amazing people.

My word what other surprises is there in London for us Nell? eyes open wide, who in Charles Dickens, named those streets ? Golly!!
wait for it... wait for what it? lmbo
Shaking my head. LOL
INTERESTING! On the subject of flying animals, it once rained teeny-tiny frogs at my house in Adelaide, South Australia. It was very strange.
Great & entertaining hub! I love reading about odd facts like these. Thank you for sharing. Voted up!
My god! I cannot imagine how disgusted I would be if a dead cat flew over my head. I already hate it when a mosquito or fly lands on my head but a dead cat??? The horror! I went to London on my honeymoon what a lovely and vibrant city. Thank god the dead cat throwing had gone out of fashion by the time I went there! How much do you think an infantry would cost now? I'm tired of companying my wife for shopping, and I would like to buy one for her birthday! Lol! :)
Your hubs Nell are interesting ,unique and a breath of fresh air.
You must have so much fun creating them. Here's to so many more for us both to share on here.
I was watching this old film on London as I never noticed it the first time I read this hub. I did not know they even had film in 1904, this is quite interesting.
I love those days
Thank you again
'It was rather the thing to do'! If it was, you'll find it and share it dear lady. What would we do without our education from Nell? You certainly know how to peak our interest with your titles and then draw us in with your humorous yet enchanting stories.
Seems good old London has staying power and its colorful past only adds to it.
Voted up, useful, awesome, and interesting.
Nell, another beauty! The history of London is certainly colourful, in some cases pretty incredulous, but always interesting and entertaining. Thank you for the fun trip back in time.
Nell, these hubs are hilarious. The old history of London here is wonderful and you should charge admission for your 'tours.' LOL People are just people everywhere and some things just don't change. I love your tongue in cheek writing also.
Beautifully written enchanting tales, I really enjoyed this hub :)
These are interesting stories that I have never heard! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Nell....How incredibly fascinating and educational. If this hadn't come from one as dear as you, I don't know that I'd believe a word of it!! You surely do HP proud, Nell, my friend. I totally LOVE your stories.......( I will say, I just can't imagine when, where or HOW it was ever "endearing" to be called a whore......the King's or anyone's!! But if you say so....... LOL...UP++
This is truly interesting. I love how the women used to buy their guys. Fascinating stuff! I didn't know about all of this history and the funny streets.
Great material, as always, Nell. If it wasn't for you, I would not be getting accurate English history. I thank you for that.
All interesting stories, but if only they would bring the uniformed men for hire! Thank you fore these strange and laughable memories from the past.
Good, fun history. Just my kind. Enjoyable hub Nell.
I enjoyed these tidbits of social history. Maybe we wouldn't have been so bored in our history classes if more facts and stories of this sort had been included.sharing.
Your hubs are always interesting Nell. Funny and strange times gone past! Good hub :)
Amazing and well-written stories, Nell. You kept my complete attention from the very first word to the last. From flying cats to rented escorts to strange street names. Well done, m'dear. And the videos were perfect, too.
Hi Nell, I found this hub so interesting, educational and funny at the same time. I got to the end wanting to read more, so I'll be off to immediately check your other hubs. Voted up ++
How To Stop Cat's Flying And Other Tales From London's Rather Strange Past! truly amazing about English History so much to learn about and somehow I have neglected to get into it. I enjoyed learning here and a well informed hub about such strange happenings.
Well, Nell, I was under the false impression that Victorian London was prim and proper! Boy, was I wrong LOL!
This is an amazing account, and very much an eye-opener. Thanks for sharing more of what humans do best--be human ;) Pearl
Very interesting...I don't find the street names surprising one bit. Awesome stories, Nell!
What a great hub, Nell. I love your London "throwback" niche. You present it with a humorous manner yet also educate and entertain, and I enjoy the selection of photos/videos, too. Voted up and more!
This is another fun and interesting hub about England's history, Nell! Thanks for the information and the entertainment.
Very interesting tales indeed, Nell! Thank you for sharing all of the fascinating details of London's past and its people back in the day! I am always fascinated at the people in different eras and all their ways. Funny too!
Up and more and sharing
Blessings, Faith Reaper
Watched your two film strips and recognised most locations. All that's changed is the nature of the traffic - more horse POWER, less horses. Of course with this daily congestion charge for bringing most vehicles into inner London you'd think the traffic would have died down a bit. No such hope, Ken (Livingston)! The traffic levels are only a bit lower than they were and what with cars of a certain power output being allowed in free (political ploy) you will have to watch your step!
(Only difference is there's less rose fertiliser on the roads and more black patches from leaking fuel systems).
Remember Ludgate Hill, with the line to Holborn Viaduct (to the left) and Blackfriars (right) crossing behind the Blackfriars public house. The view eastwards down Fleet Street towards St Paul's has changed drastically since the railway went underground. Many say for the better, probably is, but the character's gone. I used to work in Fleet Street up to the time the press went AWOL. There's only DC Thompson on the north side left. The 'Telegraph' (newspaper) building is occupied by an accounting conglomerate now. I daresay the pubs are quieter since the press workers migrated with the papers (about as many pubs on either side of the street, but the best one, the Cheshire Cheese is back away from the street up an alley. Another favourite, The Bell - opposite the Poppinjay - backs onto St Brides' Churchyard where I saw Daily Mirror writers Jon Akass and Keith Waterhouse together back in the 1980s... I could write a book, although I did a Hub-page).
You always write such interesting hubs, Nell. You make learning fun by throwing in a bit of humor. However, I wasn't able to fill in the blanks for Grope Lane. :-(
I love the Coward quotation. And I love these enchanting vignettes on life in London over the centuries. Fascinating and delightful. Thank you, Nell.
Hi Nell.
Thanks for another weird and wonderful hub, I love it . You must have done some digging to find these amusing facts and I'm only glad it wasn't in shiteburn lane LOL.
More interesting stuff about London, Nell. We might like to think we invented 'low living' as they used to call it, but our forebears were an earthy lot who would probably think we modern folk were all a bit uptight and prissy.
This is quite interesting hub. I always loved history
It was quite funny also.
Great piece
LMAO....way too funny, Nell. Stranger than fiction comes to mind....if one needs a laugh just observe humanity. It really is quite a show and it's free to anyone. :) Great job!
I always enjoy reading your articles about London. One of these days I'll go there maybe. You dig up some of the most interesting facts and photos!
Voted UP, etc. and shared.
This is such an interesting hub and I have never heard about the customs of that era. I love your video and pictures as they really enhanced ther article. I love to read about English history as that is where most of my distant relatives originated. I hope to visit one day in the not to distant future. Awesome hub.
Thank you for sharing that Nell. I really enjoyed it and not at all surprised. lol. I really should tell some of the roads and streets we have here today. Crazy stuff and the mailman always shows up. Loved seeing your beach pictures at Fb! Am sure I would love your home place.

There are so many wonderful moments that I feel extremely blessed to be a part of and photograph. One of the most amazing things I've had the opportunity to photograph and witness are the births of my little nieces. Many of you may recall Lucy's birth story and Lola's birth story. What an emotional roller coaster, yet it's such a spiritual experience, photographs do not do it justice. I was thrilled when Jill and Kenny told me that they wanted me to be there to photograph the birth of their second baby girl Jade. What an intimate experience, to be honest I debated whether or not if I should blog these, but the images are too remarkable to not share (plus, I have the blessing from Kenny + Jill to share). Not to worry, I kept it clean!:) So here you go, let the images speak for themselves and tell this wonderful birth story of Jade Matilda!
I'm SO happy I get to have another beautiful niece in my life! Jade Matilda this aunt already loves you so much!

Although the Dieselgate scandal slowed down Volkswagen's goal of being the biggest automaker in the world, the company is still focused on achieving that objective. The company is positioning itself for the future of the automobile engineering which lies in electric-powered vehicles. The company intent is to ensure it has an EV for all its different vehicle brands by 2030. The new Volkswagen I.D. Crozz concept previews an EV CUV alternative of the Tiguan. The company plans to unleash the first of its planned EV offensive by 2020.
This is the second time this year the automaker is showcasing a Crozz concept after debuting it earlier in April at the Shanghai Auto show. The new Volkswagen I.D. Crozz concept which is currently on display at the Frankfurt Auto Show is an upgraded version that is more production ready. The concept which previews a crossover is set to enter into production in 2020 alongside two other models, a hatchback and a Microbus which have already been previewed by the I.D hatchback and I.D. Buzz concepts. The three vehicles will be based on the automaker's all-electric MEB architecture which has a flexible design that enables different body designs to be derived from it. The architecture also features a multi-link rear suspension, electronically controlled dampers and MacPherson Struts.
Volkswagen I.D. Crozz concept Exterior
In terms of size, the Crozz has not changed from the earlier model. It still measures 4625mm, 1891 mm and 1609 mm in terms of length, width and height respectively. Its wheelbase is still 2773mm. Among the new changes are U-shaped LED projector headlights as well as an illuminated horizontal part which look more production ready. Other updates include black sills as well as sculpted bumpers.
Still, the concept does not have B-pillars meaning the cabin is accessed via a bicycle-like accommodating aperture where front doors are front-hinged and open conventionally while the rear doors slide rearwards like those of a van. However, rather than using conventional handles to open the doors, they are operated via voice control but this feature will not likely make it into production. It is also not conceivable for such a large car meant for mass production to miss a B-pillar. Conventional side mirrors have been replaced with cameras which convey information to a screen in the cabin.
Overall, the new design features dynamic body lines like the case on current crossovers in the market. The body has also been enhanced for off-road capability. The model rides on 21-inch, 5-spoke alloy wheels that are wrapped with 245/45 rubber. The show car was finished in Hibiscus Red Metallic which makes the model look quite attractive.
To start with, voice control will be used to start the car as well as activate its autonomous driving mode. The automaker, however, says that this technology is still in its development stage. Gesture control, on the other hand, will be used to operate the model's illuminated panoramic roof. Largely, the dash looks futuristic and definitely most of the features won't make it to production in time for the model's planned debut in 2020. Its self-driving system will also not be fully functional by the time the model makes it into production.
The decision to place the battery pack on the floor of the car has left the crossover with big, lounge-like space that can even be fitted with four individual seats. This setup also leaves a humongous cargo space of up to 515 liters when all seats are in place. The concept also features a system that regulates air quality in the cabin.
Other features on the concept showcased at the Frankfurt Auto show include a 10.2-inch center screen, a fully digital dash as well as a multi-function steering wheel that is retractable. The steering wheel can also be operated via gestures or voice control.
Volkswagen I.D. Crozz concept Drive-train
The MEB architecture which ideally looks like a "skateboard" allows for two electric motors, one at the front axle and the other at the rear axle. The rear unit is the main motor used for the majority of the propulsion. The motor produces 201 hp and 229 lb-ft of torque. The front motor swings on when needed (mostly when the system's sensors identify a sense of loss in traction but the driver can also select AWD mode) thus providing the crossover with an on-demand AWD. The motor produces 101 hp and 103 lb-ft of torque. When combined, the two motors produce 302 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque.
The Volkswagen I.D. Crozz concept can reach a top speed of 112 mph. VW estimates that the Crozz will have a range of around 311 miles. The motors are backed by an 83kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The automaker also plans to equip the model with a fast charging system capable of replenishing battery from 0-80% in 30 minutes.
Release date
VW plans to release the model by 2020; keep it here for the latest information relating to VW's bold EV strategy.

The term biologic means a living thing. A biologic drug is a treatment made from a living thing or parts of a living thing. Most of the time, biologic drugs are created from antibodies. Antibodies are part of the immune (defence) system. They target viruses or bacteria causing illness, or other foreign agents that are not supposed to be in the body.
This special targeting ability makes biologic drugs unique. Using an antibody, these drugs can go straight to the disease without affecting healthy parts of the body. This helps reduce side effects.
Certain diseases are thought to be caused by an 'overaction' of the immune system. In diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, and psoriasis, certain molecules in the immune system can get too high. This can cause damage. In rheumatoid arthritis, a molecule called TNF is found in the fluid surrounding swollen, painful joints. TNF is a natural part of the body's immune system. However, when it gets too high, it damages areas like the joints.
Biologics can make a difference. Antibody drugs are created to specifically target TNF. The drug tracks down TNF, binds to it, and helps take it out of the body before it can do harm.
Three major diseases that can be treated with biologics are Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and psoriasis. All three have something in common — certain molecules are found to be too high in people having symptoms. The molecule TNF can be found in high amounts in the joints of people with rheumatoid arthritis. TNF is also overactive in people who suffer from Crohn's disease. It makes sense that some biologics used in rheumatoid arthritis are also used to treat Crohn's. Similarly, biologics for psoriasis target molecules called interleukins that help create thick, scaly growths on the skin. The medications find, attach to, and remove these molecules from the body, reducing symptoms.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is another condition that can be treated with biologics. Some biologics, called beta interferons, are often used first for certain types of MS. Beta interferons help control the number and severity of MS attacks. Another biologic, glatiramer acetate (Copaxone®), reduces the stripping of the myelin sheath around the nerves, which causes MS symptoms. Several other biologics are used to treat MS (see chart). They are a very important part of relieving relapses of MS. Biologics are often combined with drugs that treat symptoms of MS, including muscle relaxants and drugs to help with tremor.

Specialist doctors are usually the ones who prescribe these medications. Biologics are often prescribed in combination with other drugs. Your doctor will consider several factors when deciding whether a biologic is right for you.
One factor is the severity of your disease. This includes the number of times you have symptoms, how bad they are, and how often you require painkiller or other medications to control symptoms. Exams could also be considered. If you have Crohn's disease, a doctor may do a colonoscopy to see damage to the bowel. Test results, and information about your symptoms and concerns, help decide whether a biologic is right for you.
Depending on your symptoms, some specialists may suggest other drugs before trying biologics. If they do not provide enough treatment, the doctor may then add a biologic. Your other treatments may also be replaced with a biologic. Other doctors decide to start a biologic right away, and then stop it once your symptoms improve.
Doctors also consider each drug's track record. This includes the amount of time the biologic has been available, and the experience that doctors have in using it. For instance, infliximab (Remicade®) has been available for a longer period of time than many other biologics. More information exists on its safety and how well it works. Due to this, infliximab is often used as the first biologic for many people with Crohn's or rheumatoid arthritis.
The next step is to consider your response to the medication. Once you and your doctor have decided to try a biologic, you need to know whether it makes you feel better. The doctor will follow up with you to check that your treatment is reducing your symptoms. Your body may be healing in ways that you may not notice, so the doctor may also schedule exams to check that the biologic is working. Having regular blood work done allows your doctor to be sure that the medication is not causing other problems. Advise your doctor if you notice bothersome side effects from these drugs. You may need to try more than one biologic to balance all of these factors.
These drugs work best when given by injection. The body would break them down (digest them) if you swallowed them. Intravenous (IV) drugs are given into a vein over a few hours. This means that you must go into a clinic or hospital to have the medication injected. Subcutaneous (SC) medications are given under the skin. This is more convenient, as you can inject yourself at home, without having to go into a clinic for an IV. Finally, intramuscular (IM) biologics are injected deeper beneath the skin, into the muscle.
Biologics often need to be stored in the refrigerator before they are injected. They are sensitive to temperature, and last much longer when stored in a fridge. When you bring a biologic medication home, keep it in the fridge until you are ready to use it. Your pharmacy may provide an ice pack or deliver the drug directly to the clinic where you receive injections.
Most of the time, biologics are safe and have few side effects. The most common side effect is a reaction at the injection site. The spot where you are injected may be red, itchy, or uncomfortable. Taking another drug before your injection may prevent this. An antihistamine for itchy reactions or a painkiller may be used.
Rarely, biologics have more serious side effects. Since they interfere with the immune system, you may be more likely to get an infection. This can range from something minor (like a viral cold) to a serious infection. Infection is more likely in someone who is elderly or has a history of severe infection, or who takes another medication affecting the immune system. For instance, biologics are not recommended for those with a history of tuberculosis (TB) infection. There is a chance that using a biologic may spur the TB to become active again.
Sometimes, the body's immune system may respond to these drugs. In other words, the immune system may think the drug itself is an invader, and attack to clear the drug before it can take effect. This is more common with the older biologics. It is less likely if biologics are given with other drugs that lower your immune system's response. If your body does react this way, your doctor may consider trying a different biologic.
One theory suggests these medications may increase your risk for certain types of cancers, especially skin cancer. Although this is very rare, it is important to monitor your skin. Be sure to tell your doctor if you notice any unusual or changing moles or bumps on your skin or changes in your body while taking biologics.
Biologics are new, injectable, and sensitive. This means that they can be very expensive! Luckily, there are usually ways to make sure biologics are affordable for those who need them.
Most provincial drug plans pay for biologics, as long as your doctor applies for coverage. Usually you must have a certain disease, such as Crohn's. You may have to try other medications first. Some drug companies offer to pay for a portion of the drug if you agree to give them access to your blood work while you are taking it. This helps them identify the effects and develop the drug's track record. Your private insurance plan may also cover a portion of the cost. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for more details.
Biologics continue to be developed, studied and approved for use as time goes on. For those they suit, this technology can help relieve symptoms and truly improve quality of life. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you want more information about biologics.

The Text plugin has to be running on the deck the video is on to see the problem. Works ok on master. Plugins running on a deck with a video playing is still a mess of course. You distort the plugins display based on the internal size of the video and only let the plugin update at the FPS of the video. You should fix these for better usefulness of decks.

Doing a video display that is interesting for people to watch is not easy. Many of you are probably great at audio and doing the normal DJ thing, but are not so good at producing entertaining visual displays. I am technical person and I know I would have a time trying to produce quality visuals that keep things interesting several days a week. I have seen it done first hand though and that goes way beyond what I could come up with.
As it stands many here want only the most basic of things for their video display. Geeze, it's like you might say I just want this simple text thing and then I will be happy. Or WOW I can just use this or that shader or whatever. I could be wrong but I just can't image that holds much interest for your guest.
Keep complaining as that is a good thing when it is constructive.
Posted Fri 20 Jul 18 @ 10:13 pm
My Question is do we have a ballpark how long something like this will take. (days ,weeks, months, or (I know I am impatient) and I do not want them to rush and not fix the hole thing or forget something. I just would like a estimated so i can if i need to remap my controller or just wait. A guy can hope

-Load video file on deck 1
-Select Text effect on deck 1 effect drop down
-Activate Text effect on deck 1
-Write some text

« White House Honors Student Poets | Main | Report: Legendary L.A. Teacher Rafe Esquith Fired for Misconduct »
Frustrated Seattle Parent Donates $70,000 to Save Teacher's Job
Here's a curious bit of school finance news: A Seattle parent has reportedly donated $70,000 to save a teaching job at an elementary school that his own kids don't even attend.
Perhaps even more interestingly, the guy says he did it to some degree out of spite: "My broader goal was to shame the [district] administration and the legislature and the mayor, for the fact that a private citizen and parents are putting up money to support children, because they're doing nothing," Brian Jones told local news station KIRO7.
At issue is the Seattle school district's plan to reassign some two dozen teachers this year on account of lower-than expected student enrollments across the system, which has caused a reported $4 million drop in funding from the state.
In addition to staging protests, parent organizations at some of the affected schools have launched fundraisers to save their teaching positions.
Jones, who runs a documentary film production company, made his generous donation to Alki Elementary in west Seattle after reading that a parent group there had started a campaign to raise the $90,000 they were told they had to have to keep a jeopardized teaching slot.
Jones says he has no ties to Alkihis one school-age daughter goes to Loyal Heights Elementary in northwest Seattlebut was moved by the difficulty of the school's situation and wanted to bring attention to what he sees as negligence on the part of lawmakers and education leaders.
"I'm not Bill Gates. I'm notI'm a normal guy. And this was a large sum of money for me to do," Jones told KIRO7.
In general, by reports, other parents' donations and fundraising activities also seem intended in part to send pointed messages to policymakers about the budget situation.
According to The Seattle Times, a group called Teacher Retention Advocate Parents, or TRAP, was planning to hold a "half-baked sale" at the district's headquarter's today, in the group's words, "to highlight the absurdity of trying to fund basic education with bake sales and carwashes."
In response to parents' concerns about the reassignment plan, a district spokesperson sought to direct attention to the state legislature's "responsibility to fund K-12 education in Washington state" (via the Times article).
Frustrations over state education-spending levels have a well-documented recent history in Washington and were also aired by both sides in the recent teachers' strike in Seattle.

The Orissa high court has ordered the Cuttack district administration to 'demolish all temples constructed unauthorised on government lands in Cuttack'.
"Demolish all temples in Cuttack city within two months which are constructed unauthorised on government lands or have encroached public roads," a division bench of Justices B P Das and and M M Das ordered while adjudicating over a PIL on Cuttack city's problems on Friday.
The division bench had earlier asked the district administration to prepare a list of all places of worship obstructing normal traffic in the city.
The state irrigation department, which maintains the Ring Road in a joint survey with Cuttack Municipal Corporation, had identified at least 111 temples inside the city, which are illegally constructed encroaching roads, creating public inconvenience during puja hours and festivals.
While 72 temples are located inside the city, 39 others dot the nine km long Ring Road, the survey had found.
About three years ago the authorities had demolished at least 10 half-constructed temples that had dotted along the Ring Road, which protects the Millennium city from flooding rivers surrounding three sides of the city.

NFPA and Stop & Shop New England Division are teaming up to promote a healthy, safe grilling season aimed at helping ensure an enjoyable summer for all and one that reduces the risk of grilling fires.
Three out of five households own a gas grill, according to NFPA's "Home Fires Involving Cooking Equipment," report, which translates to a lot of tasty meals. But it also means there's an increased risk of home fires. Each year an average of 8,800 home fires are caused by grilling, and close to half of all injuries involving grills are due to thermal burns. While nearly half of the people who grill do so year-round, July is the peak month for grill fires, followed by May, June and August.
This summer, participating Stop & Shop stores in New England will reinforce grilling fire safety messages as well as provide tips for preparing healthy meals with events on Cape Cod and in Rhode Island. Stay tuned for more information about these events. If you're in the area, we hope to see you there!
For more information about grilling fire safety and additional tips and resources, visit www.nfpa.org/grilling.

This is the Kia pro_cee'd refreshed with the Korean brand's new corporate face. Out goes the traditional old look and in comes the "tiger nose" to blend in with the rest of the range. This updated three-door cee'd will make its official debut at next year's Geneva show, according to the folks at Kia World.
This is the current Kia pro_cee'd before the face graft
Under the design leadership of Peter Schreyer, Kia has ditched its old boring designs for modern shapes with bold faces, and the result is well accepted models like the Forte. The five-door cee'd hatchback has already undergone a facelift last year, and the difference between that and this are the round fog lamps of the pro_cee'd opposed to square items on the cee'd.
There aren't any rear shots leaked so far. More pics after the jump.

text: In 1989, the kakerori (Pomarea dimidiata) was one of the ten rarest bird species in the world, with a declining population of just 29 birds living in south-eastern Rarotonga. As a result of conservation management, the kakerori population has rebounded, with a minimum of 281 birds on Rarotonga and 19 birds on Atiu in summer 2004/05. Since 2001, the emphasis of management in the Takitumu Conservation Area (TCA) on Rarotonga has shifted from the 'recovery' of kakerori to 'sustaining' the population at 250–300 individuals.
