WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump's administration unveiled his highly-anticipated tax plan Wednesday afternoon, promising one of the largest tax cuts in American history.
May details are yet to be seen, but here's a broad outline of what the president has proposed.
Corporate tax rates
The plan proposes a flat 15 percent business tax rate.
The rate would apply not only to large corporations but small business as well.
"Today, this administration will outline the president's vision for tax reform that will include one of the largest tax cuts for businesses and individuals in American history," Vice President Mike Pence said.
Individual tax rates
The plan is aimed at simplifying the tax code by reducing the number of personal income tax brackets from seven to three.
The three tax brackets would be:
- 10 percent
- 25 percent
- 35 percent
But administration officials said they are still working out specific income requirements for each bracket.
White House economic adviser Gary Cohen said the plan would cut the top income tax rate from 39.6 percent to 35 percent.
Other individual tax rate proposals include:
- Double the standard deduction for married couples to $24,000
- Eliminate all itemized deductions except mortgage interest and charitable donations
- Repeal the estate tax
- Repeal the catch-all alternative minimum tax
- Repeal the 3.8 percent tax on investment income
"In this case the Trump administration is absolutely delivering on a campaign promise and that was to slash taxes," Laura Albright said, a CBS4 political analyst and political science professor at the University of Indianapolis. "In terms of the corporate tax breaks, the idea would be that would help the economy because now corporations have more money to invigorate into it and they're not spending it in taxes. And that could help the consumer if they lowered costs or they helped employ more people."
But, Albright noted, passing a comprehensive tax reform package through Congress will be the real challenge.
"It's not strictly a partisan issue," she said. "There's so many differences from ideology and actual practice. It's no doubt more complicated and controversial."

CHICAGO, Ill. -- The Internet is valuable tool for those trying to spread hate and terror. Young people, who spend hours per day social networking are especially vulnerable. The anti-hate Simon Wiesenthal Center has graded how well social media sites identify and shut down hate and terror-related postings.
Facebook and Twitter get passing grades while Google, YouTube and others are falling behind.
These new findings – out today – come from the Simon Wiesenthal Center's 2017 digital terrorism and hate report card.
Rabbi Abraham Cooper, Associate Dean at the Wiesenthal Center said, "we need to do more to protect our kids. Social media dominates all of our lives."
Governments around the world want social media companies to help identify and fight would-be terrorists.
Just last week, in the deadly assault near British Parliament, there were reports that the attacker used WhatsApp minutes before the deadly rampage.
The Wiesenthal Center is trying to educate parents and teachers on how extremists leverage technologies to promote their agendas.
"There's a whole subculture of how to transform your household chemicals and be able to deploy – make them into terrorist weapons – IADs, napalm, you know it. All of those are on YouTube," said Cooper.
The Wiesenthal Center is raising concerns about misinformation and fake news – tools, they say, racists and extremists have used for years.
"Martin Luther King's birthday. Every 9th grader has to write an essay or a paper comes January and you'd be surprised how many young people in the early years of the Internet did their Google search and the first or second choice was put up by white supremacists," said Cooper.
Governor Rauner wants to boost investigation and prosecution of hate crimes in Illinois.
He's proposing increased penalties for hate crimes, hate crime training for state and local police and online education materials about the Holocaust and genocide.
"We must act. We have a rising tide of violence based upon hate, based upon bigotry, prejudice, based upon race or ethnicity or religion and we can't do nothing and we can't only speak against it, we must act against it," said Rauner.

There is need to re-orient the country's fuel mix policy with natural gas, clean coal and renewable resources such as biomass, mini-hydro and wind, Dr. Cezley Sampson, Consultant on Energy and Public Sector Reform, Cabinet Office, has said.
"In the period 1998 to 2005 Jamaica's import energy bill grew from US$323 million to US$1.35 billion. Our export earning is not sufficient to cover our energy bill.Over this seven-year period demand has grown by less than 20 per cent, whilst the cost has increased five-fold. The high import bill has been a major source of pressure on the Jamaican exchange rate and balance of payment," he pointed out.
Dr. Sampson, who was speaking at the opening of the Geological Society of Jamaica (GSJ) energy exhibition at the University of the West Indies on November 28, further added that increased electricity prices have seriously impacted the country's inflation rate, thereby creating pressure on the government.
"Education and health expenditures are being shortchanged, with increasing pressure for government to meet more and more of these costs. Increasing prices have affected affordability right across the income groups and these probably have been reflected in higher levels of theft of electricity, not just by the poor but by commercial enterprises and people living in wealthy areas of the society," he added.
Addressing the topic, 'Challenges in the Electricity Sector: Jamaica at the Crosswords', Dr. Sampson cited alternatives to petroleum based fuel for electricity, and noted that in the United States, less than 3 per cent of public electricity is generated from oil. "The main fuel used for electricity in the US is coal. In China, Australia and Germany coal is the major source for electricity generation and for industrial processes," he pointed out.
Dr. Sampson noted that if the country was able to replace the old equipment used as base load plants and also meet the new capacity requirements with coal and combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plants by 2015, bulk electricity average production cost would be cut to almost 100 per cent.
"This would have a favourable impact on the exchange rate, as the import fuel bill would be smaller comparatively, industry would be more competitive and consumers would benefit from lower prices, hence there would be a beneficial effect also on the inflation levels," he said.
The exhibition is part of 'Geosciences for Development Wee', and it was held under the theme: 'Jamaica's Energy Sources'.
There is need to re-orient the country's fuel mix policy with natural gas, clean coal and renewable resources such as biomass, mini-hydro and wind, Dr. Cezley Sampson, Consultant on Energy and Public Sector Reform, Cabinet Office, has said.

Djozan is also located close to the border with the Arak area. Both in terms of quality and pattern, carpets from here are comparable with carpets from Saroug. However, they rarely come with strong shades of red and blue or indigo/dark blue, instead the colours are more subdued. They often have medallions on an indigo-coloured base with the Herati pattern. The Djozan carpets can be a little more rustic in their expression and often have an easily recognisable pearl chain pattern in the main border. Read more about Hamadan: Hamadan, Hamedan
(Most carpets from the Hamadan-province are good carpets - usually tough and wear resistant.)
The town of Hamadan, formerly called Ekbatana, is located by the Alvand mountains at an altitude of 1900 metres. The climate is pleasant in the summer, as it is cooler here than in many other Iranian cities, but in the winter, it is relatively cold. The city is the centre of one of Iran's largest carpet districts. The Hamadan area is a large area with many hundreds of villages, all of which are known for their own patterns and qualities. The carpets from this area have their own names, all depending on their origin, but since the city of Hamadan is the gathering point for the area, these carpets are simply called Hamadan carpets, even if they were not knotted here.
You are reading an extract from the book 'Oriental Carpets, Knottet with Love' by Martin Munkholm.

Karen Blixen Quotes
All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story or tell a story about them.
Interview in The New York Times Book Review (November 3, 1957)
The cure for anything is salt water -- sweat, tears, or the sea.
In "Reader's Digest," 1 Apr 1964.
Human talk is a centrifugal function, ever in flight outwards from what is on the talker's mind.
"The Invincible Slave-owners" (1942)
It never has happened, and it never will happen, and that is why it is told.
"The Immortal Story" (1953)
What is man, when you come to think upon him, but a minutely set, ingenious machine for turning, with infinite artfulness, the red wine of Shiraz into urine?
"The Dreamers" (1934)
Tragedy should remain the right of human beings, subject, in their conditions or in their own nature, to the dire law of necessity. To them it is salvation and beatification.
"Sorrow-Acre" (1942)
I don't believe in evil, I believe only in horror. In nature there is no evil, only an abundance of horror: the plagues and the blights and the ants and the maggots.
It is little silly to be a caricature of something of which you know very little, and which means very little to you, but to be your own caricature — that is the true carnival!
Of all the idiots I have met in my life, and the Lord knows that they have not been few or little, I think that I have been the biggest.

A flexible production process for products and services offering even greater value
|The people involved in the growth of Bampi have a shared history – on a human level even more so than on a professional scale – with the founder of the company. With extraordinary far-sightedness and acuity, CEO Cavalier Riccardo Bampi forged a new path in the plumbing systems industry in the 1970s, introducing the first push-fit polypropylene drainage system in Italy. This product is still included in the catalogue today, and plays a central role in the core business of Bampi. The corporate mission of Bampi has always been to facilitate and simplify the job of the heating and plumbing professional,
|which it has achieved by insisting on using superior technology solutions. This demands a continuous learning process and a complete understanding of the technical standards and regulations applied in the sector, to contribute effectively to the development of sustainable building practices which also fully satisfy the comfort requisites of even the most exacting clients. Bampi's logistics and management headquarters are based in Lonato, on the Brescia side of Lake Garda. The Bampi family's business philosophy, which has always been founded on increasing flexibility in many different processes and activities, has proven to be a strategic advantage over the past decade. There is a close link between the people at work in the market (sales force, sales executives, technical promoters and consultants) and the personnel in key roles in company processes such as: executive design, support and validation for defining project specifications, order management, receiving and shipping goods, packaging, returned materials management and on-site testing and inspection. In a market as challenging and in continuous evolution such as ours, flexibility is a fundamental requisite to maintain profitability throughout the entire value chain - a vital factor in the economic health of any business today. At an organisational level, flexibility also means a partnership model catering for a much broader target market for Bampi than is offered by the traditional relationship between the supplier and client: a market that encompasses system designers, energy consultants, acoustic experts, builders, businesses, property developers, heating and plumbing installers and, last but not least, private customers or, in other terms, the end users who benefit from the comfort made possible by installing Bampi products in their buildings.

Support Road Traffic Victims
Not all who meet with Road Accidents are really killed. Death is not the only last destination of any road traffic accident. More than 10 times of those who are killed in traffic accidents are maimed or severely injured and manage to live the rest of their life as crippled, handicapped or paralyzed.
The cost of treatment and other related expenses drain out the savings of many and in most cases they end up in huge debts. Many of them (those who are paralyzed) cannot even meet their basic needs of life without the help of others and this can cause acute frustration and stress.
World Bank estimates that three-quarters of all poor families who lost a member to road traffic death reported a decrease in their standard of living, and 61 percent reported they had to borrow money to cover expenses following their loss.
SUPPORT TRAFFIC VICTIM: We will be regularly advertising about the details of helpless victims of Road Traffic Crashes and ways you can contribute to help them living. Please visit this area frequently,for more information please visit our global event http://safedriveafrica.org/gloabl-events .Click here to support.

Prisoners of Identity
December 10, 2010 § Leave a comment
When people are content with their roles, self-defined or other-defined, they live in illusion. "Who am I?" remains a question never asked, thus tightening the trap of a singular identity. The idea that they can be more, can achieve more and can influence many, sadly, never crosses their mind.
What if we were able to open people up, en mass, to the idea that in a lifetime they can have more than one identity. These identities can exist together, and should exist together, because they create a comprehensive human being. In essence, we tell them that they do not have to forget who they were or leave it behind. The "old" identity can be brought into the new identity as a guide, a source of wisdom and personal power.
In the case of My Prison Journal Project, we are speaking of the incarcerated population of the United States. Many of them have lived a life with one identity. One mental outlook guided them before incarceration, during incarceration and after. The Journal will provide a platform for all of the honest reflections, inspiring stories, heart wrenching defeats to make a vast impression – inside and outside of the walls.
There are so many efforts organized at intercepting and destroying the "criminal" mindset before incarceration. NPJP is focused squarely on this type of internal change, marrying the mind and the heart AFTER people go behind the walls. Incarceration is a prime opportunity for unlearning, re-learning and new comprehension.
- Exposure to stories from people who have "been there, done that" and transformed there lives through the creation of a new identity, that paid homage to the knowledge of the older identity, can be inspire hope.
- Reading or listening to submissions from people who cannot identify with the experience of incarceration, but still care enough to share articles with them, begins to add color to the invisible.
- Victims that identify themselves by the crimes against them, can begin to lessen their loads by speaking out and making an entire population think of their victims as human too. Do unto…
This is a good time to point out that the final Journal will not use the words prisoner, inmate, etc. in its narratives. The 2 million incarcerated are reminded everyday that they share one name, one identity and are not individually seen. This is an intentional identity theft – a stripping of power. In all NPJP content, except letters and works from the incarcerated themselves, the use of "you" will be required. The Journal will speak to the readers, aiming at the personal connection.
This journal will be a beautiful collaboration, introducing fresh ways of thinking and new opportunities to regularly connect with millions of people at once. Again, this is not only for those behind the walls. Readership among the "free" will be necessary for holistic transformation and for stirring the winds of change.

The Monitor Sports Editor Greg Luca is among the 10 honorees recognized in the projects category for newspapers with a circulation between 30,000 and 75,000 in the annual Associated Press Sports Editors awards.
Results were posted to the APSE website Tuesday. Entries consist of writing and multimedia submissions, and selections are made at the APSE's annual winter meeting in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Luca earned the nod from the APSE for his three-part series on Jai Steadman, the men's basketball assistant coach for the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley.
Published in The Monitor between Nov. 10 and 12, 2017, Luca methodically detailed Steadman's excruciating ordeal after suffering from ruptured intestines, the coach's clinical death and his unlikely recovery and return to the basketball court.
A 2013 graduate of the University of Florida where he earned a degree in journalism, Luca began his career at The Monitor as a reporter in February 2014 and was named sports editor in November 2016. He is the primary beat writer for UTRGV athletics, the G League's RGV Vipers and the USL's RGV FC Toros.
The Monitor has now won three APSE national awards after winning for projects in 2014 and 2015. This is the first time a Monitor writer has won as an individual.

Where did this year go? There are Christmas adverts on the TV already, flu season has officially begun and your mate is already bothering you to buy a ticket to some New Years Eve event that will be inevitably disappointing. Somehow, we're in our eleventh month of 2017, but with this year coming to a close, it does mean that we can get excited by all the new slots that 2018 will bring!
A few weeks ago, NetEnt released their Q1 roadmap for 2018, which outlines all the new slots we can expect in January, February and March, and we have to say we're excited! NetEnt have launched some excellent games this year and it looks like they're all set to continue in the same manner next year. Read on to find out more about all the new NetEnt slots you'll be able to play in 2018.
Twin Spin Deluxe Slot — 10th January
The first slot of 2018 from the brand will come on the 10th of January. However, its a game that some readers may already be familiar with. Twin Spin Deluxe was exclusively released back in September to Unibet casinos and, as the name suggests, it serves as the sequel to the software developer's highly successful Twin Spin game which was released back in 2013.
Since it's exclusive launch, Twin Spin Deluxe has been dubbed as Twin Spin Cluster Pays, which gives you some idea as to how the game works. NetEnt seem to be very fond of the cluster pays mechanism at the moment, with recent slots such as Emoji Planet and The Legend of Shangri-La both boasting the innovative payline feature. Graphically, however, Twin Spin Deluxe looks much the same as it's predecessor, with a retro theme and classic symbols such as cherries and sevens.
Universal Monsters: The Phantom's Curse Slot — 24th January
Following on from the great Phantom of the Opera slot that was launched this year, NetEnt will release another Universal Monsters slot at the end of January. Looking at the title, we're expecting this to be a sort of sequel to Phantom of the Opera and we're already eager to play it! We know that NetEnt put extra effort into their branded titles, so we're sure that this game will be packed full of new interesting bonus features and great graphics.
Fruit Spin Slot — 8th Feburary
February will see the launch of another NetEnt slot that's already been exclusively released. Fruit Spin was gifted to Mr Green players all the way back in June and so many players may have already given it a spin. To be honest, we're a little disappointed that NetEnt aren't actually giving us brand new games, but that isn't to say Fruit Spin is a bad slot.
The game benefits from a plethora of bonus features, including lucky wheels, stacked symbols, wild substitutions, scatter symbols and free spins. Furthermore, it's a stunning slot. On the reels, you can expect to find traditional fruity symbols, however these have been given a luxurious makeover and now look as if they've been crafted from gemstones.
Asgardian Stones Slot — 22nd February
Finally, a slot we don't have a clue about! Asgardian Stones will be released in some countries on Februrary the 22nd, but players in certain jurisdictions, such as Spain and Italy will have to wait until the 12th of March. So, what does that complicated word in the game's name mean?
Asgard, Google informs us, is both a deity in the Norse religion and a realm in the Marvel Comics universe. However, we know that Marvel slots are generally produced by Playtech, and so we think that this new slot will be centered more around the mythology and religion side of things. After all, NetEnt are Swedish!
Miami Pursuit Slot — 22nd March
The final game mentioned in NetEnt's Q1 roadmap is Miami Pursuit and it will be released towards the end of March. Much like Asgardian Stones, we have no idea what this game will be about, but that hasn't stopped us from making several guesses.
For us, the name of the slot immediately conjured up flashbacks to the 80's undercover cop drama, Miami Vice. A heavily stylised TV program, it'd be the perfect place for NetEnt to pull inspiration from. We're expecting pastel colours, sunsets, fast cars and police chases. We could of course, be entirely wrong but don't worry — the minute we know more, you will too!

Ah, the internet, such a weird and wonderful place. With each visit you never know what you're going to find. A trip to Pinterest for Halloween costume inspiration might result in a helpful how-to for achieving perfect Farrah Fawcett hair on any day of the year. Linger on Youtube for any length of time and you're bound to have the Gangnam Style dance down pat. It really is the ne plus ultra of wasting time and for me it's the blind corners that hide the best surprises.
The other day, I was catching up on one of my favourite blogs, pi'lo, written by the very talented Heather Shaw. Heather owns a housewares business of the same name (although the term housewares doesn't quite do it justice; everything she sells is beautiful, simple, useful and handmade by her) and her blog reveals her sources of inspiration and the process behind her work. Her aesthetic is minimalist and monochromatic, almost Quaker in its simplicity. I find her blog extremely calming and am always inspired to madly de-clutter my house and paint everything white after reading one of her posts.
It was a delightful surprise when one of Heather's recent posts talked about visiting her friend Stephen's book store armed with a fistful of toonies because the store has a book vending machine that spits out random old books for just two dollars each. How great is that? Obviously I clicked through to the book store's website and found myself face to face with the Biblio-Mat, the world's first and only antiquarian book vending machine. The Biblio-Mat was installed at the end of October at The Monkey's Paw, Toronto's most idiosyncratic secondhand bookshop (self-described). Although their books are only available to purchase through their physical shop at 1229 Dundas Street West, the store's blog reveals some of their recent acquisitions and more unusual stock (with four ways to sort the titles – beautiful, arcane, macabre and absurd). While I could certainly spend hours browsing their site, I'd rather head over to the store armed with toonies of my own so I can experience the Biblio-Mat for myself.

Why not combine Americas' best with Spain' best? Why not import New Yorks' original crunchy recipe and transform it into an artisan product with a Mediterranean twist?
We are looking for collaborators like you: that are willing to sign up for the Mediterranean artisan granola revolution. Are you in?

Edwin Moore walked through the door in Bancroft Hall, as he had done hundreds of times before.
This time it felt different.
"Boy, there was nothing like this," he said, looking down the hall at a pharmacist, offices and doctors' rooms and a waiting area with a big screen TV.
Over 60 years ago, Moore was one of the six doctors attending to the midshipmen at the U.S. Naval Academy. Since being discharged in 1953, Moore hadn't stepped foot onto the yard — until this week.
His grandson, Tom Moore, graduated Friday, and his granddaughter, Kerry Moore, finished her first year as a plebe. The siblings are from Danbury, Connecticut.
On Thursday, Moore and his family toured the Brigade Medical Unit in Bancroft Hall with department head Cmdr Cynthia Bryant. Moore says his time at the academy was influential to his four-decade career where he delivered more than 10,000 babies as an OBGYN in Connecticut.
"It was a great experience," said Moore, who is 91. "But I didn't think I would be back."
In 1943, Moore enlisted in the U.S. Army and was discharged about two years later. Using the G.I. Bill, he enrolled in Tufts Medical School and spent his medical school residency in Hartford, Connecticut.
During the beginning of the Korean War, in 1950, Moore volunteered to be a physician in the Navy, where he was stationed as a lieutenant at the Naval Academy.
In those two years, he worked from the medical clinic at Bancroft Hall and Hospital Point, attending midshipmen and academy officials. Two of his ten children were born in Annapolis and baptized in the Naval Academy Chapel.
During Thursday's tour, the veteran quietly asked Bryant questions about the services the unit provides and the needs of the patients.
"You got a nice place here," he laughed when passing a spacious patient room. Moore said he would see about 10 midshipmen a day in his small doctor's office.
He added that he was surprised that his two grandchildren wanted to go into the Navy. But for Tom and Kerry Moore, hearing stories about their grandfather's military service, and how it affected his life, inspired them to attend the academy.
"His greatest trait is always his willingness to talk to everyone and I think that's what drove him to become a doctor," Tom said.
"I look to him as leader," Kerry added.
Moore's life has been dedicated to helping other, said son Kevin Moore.
"He gets very serious when it comes to service… and he volunteered for it," Kevin said.
One of Moore's most significant achievements was founding a free, inner-city medical clinic in the late 1970s in Waterbury, Connecticut, his son said. Years later, the clinic is still helping the low-income community.
Nearing the end of the tour, the commander showed Moore one of the medical rooms. He looked at the medical machines that didn't exist in Bancroft Hall decades ago.

Smiling, he turned to Bryant and asked: "Where do I sign up?"

Skin color:

In 2006, the views of adherents and critics of melanin theory were dramatized in Cassandra Medley's play, Relativity.[20]
In the arts
The tobacco industry has been criticized by civil rights and health advocacy organizations for "aggressive" advertising and promotional campaigns targeting African-Americans.[19] Furthermore, research also indicates that people with darker skin as a result of suntanning, regardless of inherited skin color, also have an increased risk of nicotine addiction. People "with the darkest skin tended to smoke the largest number of cigarettes."[17]
Additionally, researchers in the journal Pharmacology, Biochemistry and Behavior concluded that, while the mechanism for nicotine addiction is not fully understood, melanin has a "biochemical affinity for nicotine," and that the "greater the amount of melanin people have, the harder it could be for them to quit smoking."[17] Other evidence indicates that "even though African Americans smoke fewer cigarettes than some other groups, they have a higher intake of nicotine from each cigarette."[18]
Drug addiction is mediated by complex neuronal processes that converge on the shell of the nucleus accumbens (NAcSh). The NAcSh receives inputs from the lateral hypothalamus (LH), where self-stimulation can be induced. Melanin-concentrating hormone (MCH) is produced mainly in the LH, and its receptor (MCH1R) is highly expressed in the NAcSh. We found that, in the NAcSh, MCH1R is coexpressed with dopamine receptors (D1R and D2R), and that MCH increases spike firing when both D1R and D2R are activated. Also, injecting MCH potentiates cocaine-induced hyperactivity in mice. Mice lacking MCH1R exhibit decreased cocaine-induced conditioned place preference, as well as cocaine sensitization.[16]
Despite such apparent discrepancies, and while there is no evidence of a White conspiracy to compound addictive substances in order to target Blacks, there is an established link between one aspect of melanin-related biology and drug and alcohol[15] addiction. However, this refers to melanin in the brain. No evidence exists that the amount of melanin in internal organs correlates with melanin in the skin; albinos, who have no skin melanin, have normal levels in the substantia nigra of the brain.[5] The evidence is that melanin concentrating hormone (MCH) binds chemically to receptors in the brain to amplify addiction response. A 2008 study of cocaine addiction in rats conducted by researchers at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found:
It has been argued that when hair samples are used to test for drug use, people with darker hair may be more likely to test positive for cocaine use, because the binding with melanin ensures that traces persist for a longer period. This would apply to people with dark hair of any race. A 2005 study by Tom Mieczkowski and Michael Kruger suggests that the binding effect is minor.[14]
Barnes has charged that white scientists deliberately created drugs, such as cocaine, structured to bind chemically with melanin. Barnes claims that melanin and cocaine have a high affinity for each other because both are alkaloids, and that Black people get addicted faster, stay addicted longer, can test positive for cocaine even a year after its most recent use, and suffer more from these drugs because cocaine co-polymerizes into melanin.[7]
Race and drug addiction
Welsing also claims that the prevalence of high blood pressure among African Americans is because melanin picks up "energy vibrations" from people who are experiencing stress. Thus people with dark skin will absorb the effects of stress in others resulting in higher blood pressure.[5][11] In fact, higher rates of hypertension among blacks are linked to norepinephrine, a substance that the body produces under stress and which constricts blood vessels. Studies by Roger Allen at the University of Maryland show that, after being subjected to stress, blacks exhibit elevated blood pressure at least ten times as long as do whites.[12][13]
This hypothesis is supported by black academic Leonard Jeffries, who was dismissed in 1992 from his post as chairman of the Harlem's City College Black Studies department for having allegedly made antisemitic statements.[8] Jeffries claims that the pigment melanin is the source of intelligence and creativity. He divides humanity into African "sun people" and European "ice people," the latter being not only melanin-deficient but born cold and greedy, militaristic, authoritarian, and possessed of a host of other racially determined defects.[9][10]
Leonard Jeffries
Melanin is responsible for the existence of civilization, philosophy, religion, truth, justice, and righteousness. Individuals (whites) containing low levels of Melanin will behave in a barbaric manner. Melanin gives humans the ability to FEEL because it is the absorber of all frequencies of energy. Since whites have the least amount of Melanin, this is why they are perceived by People of Color as generally being rigid, unfeeling (heartless), cold, calculating, mental, and "unspiritual."[7]
Melanin theorist Carol Barnes writes in his book Melanin: The Chemical Key to Black Greatness:
Carol Barnes
That in the evolution of the species, in what some people call the Ontogenetic evolution of humankind, that in the evolution of the species the human family separated in a sense that one branch of the family stopped its evolutionary path and simply depended upon the central nervous system as the total machinery for understanding reality. Whereas, the root of the family continued its path and not only evolved a central nervous system but developed what I called at that time an essential melanic system. And that I even went so far as to try to develop a little formula and suggested that CNS + EMS = HB. CNS (Central Nervous System) + EMS (Essential Melanic System) = HB (Human Being). That the central nervous system combined with the essential melanic system is what makes you human. That, in fact, to be human is to be Black. To be human is to be Black. (Nobles 1989).
One of the notions of melanin theory is that white people are mutants, that white skin is an aberration, a form of albinism.[5][6] Melanin theorist Wade Nobles takes this even further, stating that only Black people are fully human because of their higher levels of skin melanin:
White people as albino mutants
Claims of melanin theory
Claims of melanin theory 1
- White people as albino mutants 1.1
- Carol Barnes 1.2
- Leonard Jeffries 1.3
- Hypertension 1.4

In humans, melanin is the primary determinant of skin color. People whose ancestors lived for long periods in the regions of the globe near the equator generally have larger quantities of eumelanin in their skins. Melanin theorists assert that the possession of greater quantities of melanin gives black people inherent superiority. Conversely, its lack demonstrates the alleged inhumanity and inferiority of white people.

Call Center Representative
I have been with TLC for almost two and half years and have worked on two different programs, both B2B sales. I enjoy working with my supervisors and getting the opportunity to wear several different hats for the company as a member of the Task Force and also getting the opportunity to help out with back office work. I love the people that I work for and truly feel that we are like a family. One of the more memorable moments in sales was on a B2B telecom client call. I reached out to a business and the owner objected saying she "was going to lose her business due to her mother and sister dying in another state". I empathized and asked why she would lose her business. She would have to be gone for a few months to handle both of their estates. With our client's service, there is an amazing mobile app to allow her to still do business no matter where she is. She wasn't a mobile phone user but I explained how this was perfect for her and she agreed. It felt great to be able to help her and give her a solution in a time when she needed it most.

|Burning River Roller Girl Melanie Root donates kidney
As couples go, Melanie Root and Justin Haas are the perfect match.
"I like that he basically loves me for me and I can be my goofy self," she said. "And he's my best friend."
"She's the most caring person I've ever met," said Haas. "She always puts everyone else before herself."
Especially him. Root is giving up the sport she loves for Haas.
"I know that she hates when I bring up that she's saving my life," he said, "but she is."
Root works as a legal guardian, handling housing and medical decisions for people who mentally and emotionally can't. Away from her West 25th Street office, she is No. 23, "LeBrawl James," on the Rolling Pin-Ups of the six-team Burning River Roller Girls league.
She started skating with the Pin-Ups last fall, putting in two-hour practices three days a week, plus running and lifting weights on off days. She is a blocker, meaning she clears the way so the jammer, or point-scorer, can skate past the wall of opponents.
"I've been told," she said softly, "I'm hard to knock down."
But Haas managed to bowl her over.
He works at a punch-and-die factory in Bratenahl. Painting and drawing are his passion, his release, like skating is for her.
They met in July 2008 on the dating site match.com and began spending time together. But four months later, Haas couldn't shake feeling lethargic and out of breath.
Haas tried his best to live a normal life, but he'd already been through a lot -- 11 major operations in his 29 years. He was born with one kidney and it failed. When he was 18 months old, doctors transplanted a kidney from his mother. But transferred organs wear out eventually, and his had already lasted longer than most.
In early January -- on Root's 31st birthday -- doctors told him he needed another transplant. But from whom? His mother wasn't an option this time.
Since July, Haas has spent three evenings a week hooked up to a dialysis machine as relatives were tested as possible donors.
His older brother was screened. So were his cousins and a sister-in-law. None matched.
Root offered to be tested and in early October was told she passed.
"The day she found out, she called me crying, 'I got the approval! I got the approval!' " said Carrie Fields, Root's best friend since they were 4. "She was so excited."
But some friends and co-workers questioned the decision. He was just her boyfriend, after all. They weren't even married. "You sure you want to do this?" she was asked repeatedly.
"Even if we broke up and I was a match, I'd still do it," said Root, who lives with Haas in Parma. "I've always believed in fate and stuff. This, to me, proves we were meant to meet."
"She's a pretty cool girl," said Dixie Haas, Justin's mother. "I was a mother. I had no choice."
The kidney transplant is scheduled for Nov. 19. Recovery takes two to four weeks for her, three to four months for him.
Root's decision also comes with a sacrifice beyond the physical: She's through with roller derby for good.
"That has to be it," she said.
She doesn't want to risk an injury to her remaining kidney from an elbow or awkward fall. Her final "bout," as a roller derby match is called, is Nov. 7 at the Cleveland State University Wolstein Center, highlighted by full-contact musical chairs at halftime.
When LeBrawl James circles the rink one last time, she leaves as a medical miracle born of an online search for companionship.
"It's kind of a crazy story," said teammate Sara Misconish, known on skates as "Candy Snatcher." "That kind of stuff just doesn't happen."

An apprenticeship system popular in Germany might be one answer to Nebraska's skilled worker shortage, state and business officials said at a Sarpy County event Wednesday.
Two German companies with American headquarters in Nebraska — CLAAS of America and Graepel North America — signed a pledge to implement a dual study apprenticeship program through the Industry Consortium for Advanced Technical Training.
In these apprenticeships, youths or others seeking job training can work and earn money while also receiving training through Metropolitan Community College.
Those interested in becoming apprentices should contact Metro, said a spokesman for CLAAS.
[Read more: 'There literally aren't enough bodies': Business leaders discuss Nebraska's economic challenges]
Gov. Pete Ricketts called it the "earn while you learn" model, and he said it's one way to address Nebraska's shortage of workers with training in manufacturing-related skills.
Several people at a panel on workforce initiatives focusing on apprenticeship programs said that shortage is stopping Nebraska businesses from expanding. And, they said, apprenticeships and other similar job-training programs are part of the solution.
Mark Zumdohme, president of Graepel North America Inc., said he began in the industry as an apprentice in Germany.
"I'm the living example that it's working," he said.
Nebraska Department of Labor Commissioner John Albin said the state is looking to beef up apprenticeship programs.
"You take workers who are good workers anyway," he said. "And you train them up to the skills that are high value to employers."
Apprenticeship programs can teach high school age youths about possible career paths. Or the programs can serve as retraining — officials brought up veterans, in particular, as a group who could benefit from apprenticeships.
Albin, a lawyer who studied political science, quipped: "In my 29 years at the department, I have never heard of an employer approach us and say, 'Can you find me a good poli sci major?' "
Said Phil Raimondo, president and CEO of Behlen Mfg. Co.: "We would love to hire all the poli sci majors — as long as they're willing to learn to weld."

Invented in 1905 by Alfred Büchi, a Swiss engineer, the turbocharger, more commonly known as the turbo, enhances an engine's performance by compressing a higher volume of air on its way into the engine.
Turbochargers can be found in both gasoline and diesel engines, and affect volumetric capacity.
How does a turbocharger work? What role does it play? Take a look at our answers to frequently asked questions.
Functional principle
Functional principle of a basic turbocharger
A portion of the energy from exhaust gases is put toward turbine #1 which is connected to turbine #2 via a central axis usually mounted to a hydraulic bearing or regular bearing. Turbine #2 compresses the air going into the intake which allows for a higher volume of air to enter.
This pressurized air is regulated by an exhaust valve known as a waste gate or an overflow valve.
Since compression heats up the air, it is cooled off by an exchanger referred to as an intercooler.
Functional principle of a variable geometry turbocharger.
The variable geometry turbocharger has been around for a while; its variable geometry allows it to enhance the engine's performance in all rev ranges; where the traditional turbo would wait a beat called a "lag", the variable geometry reduces the amount of this lag time.
At lower speeds, the adjustable guides are closed and small amounts of exhaust gases are sped up in the turbine blades.
At higher speeds, the adjustable guides are open allowing exhaust gases to flow directly into the turbine.
Problems that arise
The turbocharger is located above the exhaust manifold, and comes into direct contact with the exhaust gases and the soot contained therein. This is why the turbo gradually becomes clogged around the waste gates, the variable geometry and the turbines, leading to inferior engine performance. Additional problems that could arise:
- Engine bursts
- Loss of power
- A lag in acceleration
- Jammed or clogged waste gates
- Jammed or clogged variable geometry
- Wheezing engine
- Engine light indicating jammed turbo
- Less than optimum mode of functioning
- Unable to pass 3,000 rpm.
Soot from exhaust gases can often be found at the openings to waste gates and variable geometries that are jammed or clogged with calamine. This part cannot be cleaned by hand; it has to either be replaced or descaled with our Hy-Calamine solution via hydrogen injection.
Examples of companies that manufacture turbochargers
The best solution
Replacing the turbo can be a long and expensive process; consider choosing the descaling option which is more cost-effective than replacing the turbo. Thanks to its innovative technology, the Hy-Calamine device uses the solvent power of post-combustion hydrogen to eliminate build up in the turbo, waste gates and the variable geometry. Your vehicle will go back to its factory performance!
If you add descaling to your routine maintenance, your engine will be clean and you will be able to avoid headaches caused by a clogged turbocharger.

Yintensive® 40 Hour Yin Teacher Training
Yin is a highly therapeutic, meditative style that requires a wise and informed approach. To teach it well one has to know the philosophical theory that was its genesis and the anatomical and physiological protocol that makes it such a healing practice. So often we teachers regurgitate the rhetoric of our teachers but Yin is more than theory. Learn the science behind the "Yin tissues". Discover the true and false of traditional strategies to make your teaching even stronger. Yintensive® Yin Teacher Training with Mandy is different. Curriculum nods to tradition but asks deeper questions about the purpose of Yin and how we can truly harness this modality to help our students on every level of being.
The Venue for Yintensive® Yin Teacher Training
This training will be held in Rapid City, SD at Sol Yoga Collective, a lovely studio in Downtown Rapid City. Two large sun filled studios and ample props make this an ideal venue for a training. There is also a kitchenette for preparing lunches. Fall is a fantastic time to visit the Black Hills. Additionally, the downtown area is charming and full of possibilities for shopping and meals with new friends in the evenings.
Yintensive® Training Logistics
Yintensive® Yin Teacher Training is a 40 hour training that takes 6 days to complete. 8 non-contact hours may be completed by the trainee after formal contact hours are finished

The PDP sympathized with the Speaker for the kidnap of his wife.
The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP in Osun State, on Thursday, dissociated itself from the kidnap of Muibat, the wife of the Speaker of Osun House of Assembly, Najeem Salam.
The state's PDP Director of Publicity, Media and Strategy, Diran Odeyemi, made the clarification in an interview in Osogbo.
Gunmen kidnapped the Speaker's wife, on Tuesday, while she was returning home from her shop at Oke-Oyo area of Ejigbo in Osun.
Mr. Odeyemi dismissed the insinuations in certain quarters that the abductors might be PDP members hoping to settle a political score with the Action Congress of Nigeria, ACN, in Osun. The ACN, the party Mr. Salam belongs to, is the ruling party in Osun State.
"It is criminal of any right thinking person to think that way. The PDP, as one of the opposition parties in the state, is not violent and more so, we don't have anything to do with the Speaker," the PDP spokesman said
Mr. Odeyemi said the PDP sympathized with the Speaker for the kidnap of his wife.
"And it is our wish that she comes back home unhurt," he said.
The ACN Director of Publicity, Research and Strategy in Osun, Kunle Oyatomi, urged the Federal Government to tackle the security challenges in the country.
Mr. Oyatomi urged the state police command to do everything possible to secure the release of Ms. Salam from her captors.

Expect a HIPAA Security Audit – But Guess Who Will Conduct It?
The 2009 HITECH Act deputized the Office of Civil Rights (OCR) to conduct HIPAA security audits under the auspices of the Department of Health and Human Services' (HHS). But as it turns out, OCR is not the only HIPAA enforcer in town. State attorneys general can claim a similar right to audit; in fact several were initially trained by OCR to do so. In the second half of 2013, the Center for Medicare Services (CMS) began conducting audits of eligible hospitals and providers that had received payments under Stage 1 of the Meaningful Use (MU) EHR Incentive Program. While there are many core MU requirements, conducting a security risk analysis is one that CMS zeroed in on, finding it the most common audit failing.
Now, even more Federal agencies are getting into the act. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) recently asserted its right to challenge data security measures at HIPAA-covered entities that constitute unfair "acts… or practices" under the FTC Act. HHS' Office of Inspector General (OIG) has standing to audit Meaningful Use incentive payments to eligible professionals and hospitals. Eligibility for those payments depends on the implementation and adoption rate of certified EHR systems, thus OIG looks into that as well. But they don't stop there. In OIG's 2014 Work Plan, the agency says it intends to play a role in auditing the security of certified EHR technology (CEHRT) and even extends their reach to certain business associates, specifically stating:
"We will perform audits of various covered entities receiving EHR incentive payments from CMS and their business associates, such as EHR cloud service providers, to determine whether they adequately protect electronic health information created or maintained by certified EHR technology. Furthermore, business associates that transmit, process, and store EHRs for Medicare/Medicaid providers are playing a larger role in the protection of electronic health information. Therefore, audits of cloud service providers and other downstream service providers are necessary to assure compliance with regulatory requirements and contractual agreements."?
OCR isn't backing off either. Just before last month's HIMSS 14 Conference, the agency announced it would be conducting a "pre-audit survey"? of up to 1,200 HIPAA covered entities (health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers) and BAs. According to OCR, they want to first gather information regarding the size and complexity of a large sampling of organizations before identifying specific audit targets. The data request includes such broad markers as revenue, # of locations, and # of patient visits as well as specifics about their use of electronic information.
At Redspin, we believe the primary aim of the survey is to not so much to determine an organization's "readiness"? for an audit (which seems a bit counterintuitive) but more so that OCR can focus its resources on higher risk organizations.
One thing that OCR is certain to look closely for will be the existence and comprehensive of HIPAA risk assessments. During a December 2013 HIT Policy Committee meeting, Sue McAndrew commented that the failure to conduct security and risk assessment represented the majority of OCR's findings during its 2012 audit program and that it will be a critical part of 2014 criteria.
In summary, at Redspin we believe that the best preparation is a robust information security program. We get a chuckle out of some of the HIPAA compliance-oriented firms who are offering "mock audits" as a way of preparing covered entities and business associates for the real thing. Redspin's mission has always been to help healthcare organizations safeguard PHI from data breach and ensure the integrity and availability of electronic health record technology. Mock audits are like a student studying only to pass an exam rather than actually learning to succeed in the real world. Our HIPAA security risk analysis services enable our clients to evaluate threats and vulnerabilities, and then make informed decisions regarding prioritization, investments, technologies, and staffing. That way, no matter which auditor comes knocking at your door, you'll be well prepared. Most importantly, you'll have truly lowered your risk.

Introduction to AdWords Ad Groups – 3:43
This lesson is an introduction to "Ad Groups" within AdWords. In the last lesson, we discussed campaigns, and how campaigns are the highest level of organization within AdWords accounts.
In contrast, ad groups are a tactical organizational unit.
You use ad groups to organize all of your keywords, ad text, and landing pages.
If you only know four things about ad groups, you should memorize the following:
- Ad groups are filled with keywords
- Ad groups are filled with ads
- Ad groups are filled with landing pages
- The most important best practice in all of AdWords is to have tight alignment between keyword –> ad text –> landing page.

- Dr. Michael Sawaya (Research Ecologist, Sinopah Wildlife Research Associates)
- LeAnne Lorenz (Teacher, Sacajawea Middle School - Bozeman, MT)
- Nina-Marie Lister (Director, Ecological Design Lab - Ryerson University)
- Hilary A. Turner (Road Ecology Wildlife Technician, Idaho Department of Fish and Game)
- Chris Slesar (Environmental Resources Coordinator, Vermont Agency of Transportation)
- Sandra Jacobson (retired), Wildlife Biologist, USDA Forest Service, Pacific Southwest Research Station
This session will spotlight education and workforce development efforts to increase understanding of the issues of habitat fragmentation by roads and the safety implications of wildlife-vehicle collisions for wildlife populations and motorists.
Inspired by the efforts of a class to integrate Critter Crossings into the Reno community, NvDOT staff and education professionals are working to develop a K-12 curriculum utilizing Project Based Learning wherein students identify a local problem, conduct research, design a solution, and present results to an authentic audience.
Sinopah Wildlife Research Associates and Inspired Classroom partnered with Native Teaching Aids, Salish Kootenai College, and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes to ask, "Why Did the Bear Cross the Road?" in an educational program that highlights importance of conserving wildlife habitat and population connectivity in the Y2Y Region among school-aged children. The program includes the development of: an art contest and children's book; a platform to connect students with experts to engage in real world problem-based simulation; and a cooperative wildlife connectivity game.
Developed as part of the WTI's Research Experience for Teachers program, the Winning for Wildlife curriculum is aimed at Grades 5-9. A set of activities, designed for teachers with no prior knowledge of road ecology, builds understanding of applied science and solutions that impact wildlife.
Safe Passages is aimed at the development of an integrated approach for the planning, design, and implementation of crossing infrastructure. The partnership is advanced through CoLabs - workshops that bring together academics, community leaders, and professionals across agencies to advance the transfer of knowledge from research to practice.
The Idaho Department of Fish and Game is leading efforts to conserve wildlife Movement and Migration, with particular attention to mitigating transportation impacts. The Department is engaging with citizen scientists and personnel from multiple agencies to increase the consistency and geographic breadth of roadkill data collection to help agencies prioritize mitigation and build support for mitigation efforts.
Highways and Habitats, led by VTrans, develops understanding of habitat connectivity issues so that transportation professionals can incorporate ecological connectivity into the planning and design of transportation projects. Classroom seminars and field excursions engage participants in a dialog that focuses on road ecology issues in the northeast United States.
Innovative Approaches to Wildlife and Highway Interactions was developed in 2002 as an interdisciplinary, interagency course to help engineers and wildlife biologists recognize issues associated with highway development and operation on public lands, and to design and fund mitigation measures. Over two dozen sessions have been presented to state and federal agency personnel in 13 states and 4 countries.
Renee Callahan is the Executive Director of ARC Solutions, an interdisciplinary partnership working to raise awareness of and promote innovation in the placement, construction and design of the next-generation of wildlife crossing structures. She serves as the Senior Policy Analyst at the Center for Large Landscape Conservation in Bozeman, Montana, where she promotes policies to improve ecological connectivity, with a focus on reducing the disruptive effects of roads on motorists and wildlife.
Nova Simpson has worked with the NvDOT for 10 years. She manages the biological needs of projects including compliance with laws and regulations applicable to federal and state protected species. As the Mitigation Specialist she created a program to reduce animal-vehicle collisions, increase driver safety, and decrease habitat fragmentation caused by roadways. This program includes a statewide prioritization of problem areas, integration into early project planning, and public education.
Michael Sawaya has been studying carnivore populations in the United States and Canada for the past 22 years. Mike is a carnivore ecologist with Sinopah Wildlife Research Associates in Missoula, Montana and his current studies include grizzly and black bear thermoregulation at water sources, highway mitigation for wildlife, carnivore ecology in Yellowstone, and wolverine demography and genetics in western North America. When Mike is not wrangling bear hair or following cougar tracks in snow, he enjoys camping, hiking, gardening, and traveling with his wife and two sons.
LeAnne Lorenz is a public school teacher in her 25th year, 21 of those years at the Middle School level teaching Math and Science in Bozeman, Montana. She is a National Board Certified Teacher in Early Adolescent Mathematics, has an MS in Science Education, and is a Presidential Awardee for Excellence in Mathematics and Science, 2010. LeAnne is passionate about Project Based Learning, as this is a focus of her small team at Sacajawea Middle School.
Nina-Marie Lister is an Associate Professor in the School of Urban + Regional Planning at Ryerson University in Toronto. From 2010-2014, she was Visiting Associate Professor of Landscape Architecture + Urban Planning at Harvard University, Graduate School of Design. A Registered Professional Planner (MCIP, RPP) trained in ecology, environmental science and landscape planning, she is the founding principal of PLANDFORM, a creative studio practice exploring the relationship between landscape, ecology, and urbanism. Prof. Lister's research, teaching and practice focus on the confluence of landscape infrastructure and ecological processes within contemporary metropolitan regions, with a particular focus on resilience and adaptive systems design.
Hilary A. Turner graduated from the University of Montana with a BS in Wildlife Biology and became employed with the IDFG in December of 2017. She started out as a 15 hour/week bio-aide and in just over a year, Hilary has become the face of roadkill data collection in Idaho. She conducts roadkill surveys in an important 63-mile road corridor in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem and coordinates similar efforts statewide. When she is not surveying, she travels the state, teaching the tenets of road ecology and training professionals and citizens to report roadkill (when safe and practical to do so!).
Chris Slesar is the Environmental Resources Coordinator at the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans), where he oversees the work of his staff of natural and cultural resources experts. Chris has been engaged in road ecology and habitat connectivity issues since 2002, when he developed the Highways & Habitats Training for VTrans staff. The training is a way to bring transportation professionals from all disciplines into the road ecology conversation. Slesar is involved on the ICOET Steering Committee and is the ICOET 2019 Program Chair. In 2002, Chris helped organize and start the regional Northeastern Transportation and Wildlife Conference (NETWC).
Sandra Jacobson retired from the US Forest Service after nearly 40 years as a wildlife biologist, working on endangered species recovery and then as the agency's subject matter expert on transportation ecology. She has worked on multiple infrastructure projects on federal and state public lands, helping practitioners to identify issues, design mitigation measures customized for their unique wildlife issues, and work together across transportation and natural resource agencies to fund more wildlife-friendly projects. She's been an ICOET Steering Committee member since 2001, and continues to be involved with national and international highway projects, offering training across the country and abroad.

Finally, the Lok Sabha has approved the Mental Healthcare Bill, 2016. The landmark proclamations passed makes provisons for healthcare and related services to all Indians who may be suffering from a psychological issues. The bill also takes the scarlet letter off of anyone attempting suicide by proclaiming that suicides will no longer be considered punishable by the law.The bill was approved by Rajya Sabha in August 2016; yesterday, 27th March 2017, the bill was passed by Lok Sabha as wellSpeaking about the bill, which has been in the pipelines for the past 30 years, Shipraa Dawar, founder of ePsyclinic, the mental wellness startup said, "As a mental health entrepreneur, I feel proud today that the mental health bill has been passed in Lok Sabha. It's truly a landmark event and we welcome the change of the government.A person struggling with the unneeded stigma and shame of having a mental health issue, will now be more comfortable in reaching out to mental health service providers. Neither will the person be looked down upon nor will he feel uneasy while sharing his problems. He or she will be assured that no one would be passing any judgement on them.Moreover, affordability of mental health interventions through insurance will also make help-seeking easier. I am glad that I am a serving in this field and especially during the times when things are moving swiftly and people are becoming more open to mental health issues. My sincere thanks to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and our elected representatives who took an initiative in the field."PTI reported Shashi Tharoor as being in support of the bill. "If India wants a modern and progressive society, there is a need for this law while adding that people suffering from any mental disorder carry the stigma that "yeh toh pagal hai (he/she is mad)".Two of the key reliefs of the bill are that people who are homeless, poor or do not have the Below Poverty Line card are all eligible to free mental healthcare, while a person with a mental illness has the right to direct in writing how she wishes healthcare to be enacted for her.About decriminalizing suicide, Health Minister J P Nadda said, "Suicide is a mental disease. It will not be a criminal act, it will decriminalised. It recognises that it is done under severe mental stress."

Here are a couple new patterns I tied up recently for Lake Erie and beyond. These utilize the Fish Skulls from Flymen Fishing Company. Fish Skulls are proving to be a great addtion to nearly any streamer pattern. They are much more versatile than beads or cones, having easily added eyes and with their keel-like shape, can also make the fly ride with the hook inverted.
These sculpin/crayfish/goby imitators were tied to ride hook up and utilize a variety of materials including , grizzly marabou, rabbit, emu, and australian oppossum to get their look. The hook is a Daiichi #2461.

Recent findings We examined the implications of the use of non-HDL-C as opposed to LDL-C in 253 people with hypercholesterolaemia before treatment and 573 after treatment in whom fasting total serum cholesterol, HDL-C and LDL-C had been recorded and the diagnosis of heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (heFH) was investigated by genetic testing. The difference and the limits of agreement between non-HDL-C and LDL-C calculated using the Friedewald formula were assessed in those with and without heFH-causing mutations. Summary There were 147 mutation-positive and 106 mutation-negative pretreatment participants and 395 mutation-positive and 178 mutation-negative patients receiving treatment. The difference between non-HDL-C and LDL-C pretreatment in mutation-positive people (mean LDL-C 7.73 mmol/l) was 0.67 mmol/l (95% CI 0.62–0.73) and posttreatment (mean LDL-C 4.71 mmol/l) was 0.62 mmol/l (95% CI 0.59–0.65) with wide limits of agreement of −0.02 to 1.37 and 0.07–1.18 mmol/l, respectively. Among patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolaemia, use of estimated LDL-C derived from non-HDL-C in place of calculated LDL-C may result in diagnostic misclassification and difficulty in assessing the true reduction in LDL-C with treatment, because of the wide inter-individual limits of agreement around the mean difference between non-HDL-C and LDL-C.
