The vernacular speaks of blood poisoning - a pretty apt term for the clinical picture of sepsis. In the beginning there is always a local infection, mostly with bacteria. From this disease focus - for example, from a wound on the leg, an inflamed tooth root or a pneumonia - spread the pathogens and their toxins through the bloodstream in the entire body. The organism reacts with an inflammation that gradually seizes all organs. The course is usually acute, but can also be chronic.
Blood poisoning in response to an infection
The human organism has a whole arsenal of strategies to confront dangerous situations. Sometimes, however, the damaging effects are so great that the defensive measures not only fail, but reverse and target the body itself.
Even today, this ends in death, for example, in a blood poisoning (sepsis) in many cases. The original trigger of a blood poisoning can be any kind of infection, for example:
- a small injury on the finger
- an insect bite on the arm
- an inflamed tooth
- a fungal infection
- pneumonia
- an infected wound after surgery
- a meningitis (meningitis)
Blood poisoning: causes of sepsis
Usually, the body succeeds in limiting an infection to its place of origin. This is due to the inflammatory reaction, a complex interaction of various reactions of vessels and tissue, secretion of endogenous substances and immigration of certain cells. This leads to the classic signs of inflammation such as redness, overheating swelling and pain.
However, if the body is weakened, for example as part of another disease, or if the pathogens are particularly aggressive, the infection and thus the inflammatory reaction can spread to the entire organism. Successively, the organs are attacked in a rapid process and therefore no longer supplied with sufficient oxygen.
The more vital functions fail, the harder it is for the body to stop the disease. As in a chain reaction, the circulation, kidneys, lungs, liver and other body organs can fail within a few hours ("septic shock"), leading to death.
How common is sepsis?
Blood poisoning is more common than breast cancer, AIDS or colon cancer. It is estimated that about one third to half of those affected die as a result, comparable to the mortality rate in acute myocardial infarction. In surgical intensive care units, sepsis is the leading cause of death.
5 facts about blood poisoning - © Qimono
Signs of blood poisoning: How to recognize the symptoms
At the point of infection - if externally visible - signs of inflammation appear:
- reddening
- overheat
- swelling
- pain
The blood poisoning itself is not easy to recognize, especially at the beginning, because the signs of the disease are not very specific, so they can also occur in other diseases. This includes:
- high fever or fever with chills
- confusion
- Acceleration of breathing and heartbeat
- Drop in blood pressure
- decreased excretion of urine
Red line as a symptom of sepsis?
It is often believed that a red, painful strand that progresses from a wound towards the heart is an unerring sign of sepsis. However, this is a misconception.
Such a red line rather indicates a local inflammation of the lymphatic vessels (lymphangitis). Bacteria migrate from a wound under the skin in the direction of the lymph nodes. From there, however, the inflammation can spread to the whole body and in rare cases actually develop into sepsis. If you notice a red stripe on the skin, you should always consult a doctor.
Blood poisoning: diagnosis and diagnosis
In the blood show signs of inflammation and a drop in red blood cells and coagulation disorders. The diagnosis is confirmed by the detection of pathogens in the blood culture. In ultrasound, enlargement of the liver and spleen are usually visible.
Currently, researchers are trying to identify genes whose activity can be used for diagnosis or prognosis. However, it will certainly take some time to get ready for practical use.
Blood poisoning: treatment of sepsis
Since the person is seriously ill, the therapy of sepsis takes place in the intensive care unit. As with myocardial infarction or stroke, the better the patient's cure, the sooner the treatment starts. The focus is on antibiotic therapy. Depending on the stage of the disease, if possible, the site of infection should be removed (for example, the gallbladder).
In addition, an attempt is made to improve the shock situation through treatment and to stop or reverse the organ failure. This includes:
- infusion therapy
- artificial respiration
- Renal replacement therapy
- artificial nutrition
- Replacing the body's own cells (for example, red blood cells) and substances such as insulin and cortisone
Recently, there has been the development of specific drugs that are supposed to boost the patient's immune response and have lowered the mortality rate in several studies.

|Dangerspouse Rides Again
Garage - Track
Feb. 06, 2006 - 4:13 a.m.
You'd think this sort of thing wouldn't bother me. After all, I'm married now. I don't have to grunt and strain 6 hours a day in the gym, hoping woman will notice my body instead of my personality. I won. I landed one. I can relax. I mean, who's gonna be disappointed if I chub out, my wife? Sorry, that's not enough incentive for the kind of effort needed to slim down.
But I am bothered.
After all, just because I'm married doesn't mean I don't want a mistress.
So I have resolved to reduce.
But...not by dieting.
Hell, I'm Italian. Changing eating habits is a mortal sin for us.
No, I'm determined to take that other route: exercise.
A large part of my seam-splitting expansion is due to genetic sloth, I'm convinced. It also doesn't help that for a good chunk of the past year I was also planted in a recliner with my leg in the air recovering from ankle surgery.
Anyway, shortly after getting back on my feet I was moaning and whining to NewWifey(tm) about Dangerhouse's lack of decent gym facilities. When we were married 4 years ago I set up a small workout area in the basement with free weights, speed bag, heavy bag, bench, etc. But as we acquired new crap over the years, the old crap - rather than being thrown out - often found a new home draped over, around, and between all my equipment. It got to the point where this past year I gradually cut down on workouts because it was such a pain in the ass shifting boxes and threadbare clothing just to get to my weight tree.
Sometime back around August I threw up my hands and decided it wasn't worth it. I would just stay upstairs and lift Sierra Nevada IPA's instead.
Well now I want my gym back. And I want NewWifey(tm) to make it so.
NewWifey(tm), despite reservations about my stated objective of using workouts to attract a mistress, is nonetheless a Good (ie: subservient) Wife. And even if she wasn't, she has such a mania for home renovations that she probably would have undertaken the job anyway, just for the sheer joy of using power tools.
So for the next four days she secreted herself in the garage, hunched over a draft table scribbling plans and building foam scale models, finally emerging tired but triumphant with The Sacred Formula.
The Sacred Formula was a *bit* more ambitious than what I originally envisioned. All I wanted, really, was to have the junk hauled off and the former configuration restored. I figured NewWifey(tm) would have one, maybe two days tops of backbreaking labor, hoisting old toasters and washing machines onto a trailer and out to a dump, and that would be that.
Alas that I should be so ignorant of my wife's proclivities after all this time, especially when it comes to her construction fetish. The plans she spread out on our kitchen table called for a new sub-floor, floor, ceiling, the removal of several old walls, the addition of one new one -a pivoting one - plus an entertainment center and hidden light fixtures.
I was agog.
What jarred me the most was that she has partitioned the basement into a "gym" area, and a "library" zone - what she called "the Professor Higgens room". It has the classic look of an Olde Worlde gentleman's study, lined with bookshelves, wingback chairs, ottomans and nudie highball glasses.
I do not want a Professor Higgens room. I want a gym, the bigger the better. Conceding a significant portion of my potential workout space to a stack of neglected books and a brandy snifter was not something I was prepared to accept.
However, what I'm prepared to accept never seems to have any effect on what I am given. NewWifey(tm) wants me to have a Professor Higgens library, and a Professor Higgens library I shall have therefore. The only input I am allowed is making and delivering sandwiches and beer while she toils.
And toiling was indeed what she was doing last Wednesday when the walls, and her, came a-tumblin' down.
The two events weren't directly connected, but one led to the other anyway. See, NewWifey(tm)'s favorite tool of all her favorite tools is something called a "Reciprocating Saw". I had never heard of one of these monstrosities before I got married, but then I never had cause to demolish a building by hand or saw an ocean going oil tanker in half. Apparently a reciprocating saw can accomplish either task with ease, and a host of other destruction related duties as well.
I got her one for Valentine's Day two years ago and she has pretty much carried it around with her ever since. Never know when you may stumble on a kitten trapped behind a 3 foot thick concrete bridge stanchion, after all.
So I wasn't surprised when I saw that her plans for the library/gym called for demolishing 3 walls. There was no real need for it, she just wanted to prove she could master that bucking phallic symbol of a saw. It's a chick thing.
And this past Wednesday NewWifey(tm) finally put The Sacred Formula, and that saw, into action.
From 9 in the morning until 6 at night, a steady plume of sawdust, asbestos and rodent droppings rose through the vents in our living room as NewWifey(tm) systematically tore through walls, studs, joists, dropped ceilings, and fixtures below. If you saw footage of the World Trade Center collapsing, and the resulting tsunami of ash and detritus that enveloped everything and everyone for miles, then you've seen the interior of my house that day.
I hightailed it out of there meanwhile, taking Casey and Glory on a long walk/picnic in the woods. I've seen pictures of miners' lungs in biology textbooks, and it doesn't look like a fun condition. We chilled out on a rock outcropping overlooking blighted forests, munching on Liv-a Snaps and Red Bull (try it before you mock me), and one of us read "The Republican War on Science" while the other two busied themselves chasing mice and/or bears. When the light faded to the point where neither activity was feasible anymore, we trudged back to the construction site.
Inside I tossed together an ash-coated meal for NewWifey(tm) and yelled down to her that I was going to bed. She dutifully shook a few pounds of plaster dust out of her hair and came up to kiss me goodnight. That was the last I saw her for 5 hours.
At just before 11pm - 2 1/2 hours before my alarm was due to go off - I was catapulted out of bed by the sound of a minivan hitting our house. Startled (ok, scared) and disoriented, I sprinted naked out my bedroom and down the hall, fully expecting to see the front end of a Ford Windstar parked where my Powerpuff Girls shrine used to be.
Instead, as I ran down the hall I happened to glance to my right...and saw the soles of my wife's ash covered feet sticking out of the open bathroom door. I skidded to a halt and went to see if she was ok.
She wasn't.
When I pushed the door all the way open it was to see NewWifey(tm) lying face down on the tiled floor, and a pool of blood spreading out from around her head! It was her hitting the floor that shook the house, not a wayward SUV! And now she was out cold.
I toyed briefly with the idea of taking advantage of her insensate orifices, but I restrained myself (for once) and instead flipped her face up to clear her air passages. That's when I saw why blood was gushing out at such a prodigious rate. She had a gash along her hairline that ran almost from above the front edge of one ear all the way across to just above the other.
And it went right down to the bone. I mean, between spurts of blood I was looking at her skull! (It looked awfully hard too, just as I suspected.)
Ok, crisis mode it is. Not having the faintest clue where NewWifey(tm) "organized" the First Aid kit to, I grabbed the 3/4 empty toilet paper roll and wedged it into the open gash to staunch the flow. An alarming large portion of it disappeared. It also roused NewWifey(tm) from her unconscious state.
"I think I hit my head..."
"Yeah, I think you did too."
"Hand me a mirror, I want to see how bad it is."
"What? Waddaya mean 'no'? I want to see if I've got a bruise."
I knew that refusing her would be pointless. No matter how much pain she was in she would argue until I caved.
I handed her the mirror.
She looked, saw a blood soaked roll of toilet paper sticking out of her head, and passed out again.
That made my job a lot easier.
I tossed on a pair of sweats and hoisted NewWifey(tm) over my shoulder. That's when I saw what caused the gash. She had fallen face down onto the baseboard heat register - the top metal shelf of which now had a 4-inch wide dent in it. It's a good thing she hit it too, as that kept her from landing full force on her nose.
Down the stairs I staggered with her, then tossed us both into the Mighty WRX and onto Rt.94. Fifteen minutes later we pulled up to the Emergency Room doors at St. Anthony's Hospital in Warwick and I got an orderly to help me bundle NewWifey(tm) to an examining table.
Fortunately it was a slow night - just two shootings and a drunk kid who'd argued with a Rotweiller. Within 5 minutes a young Indian doctor walked in, looked at NewWifey(tm) and said "How did she get a toilet paper roll stuck in her head??"
I explained that it was NewWifey(tm)'s fault for hiding the sterile gauze, but I'm not sure he bought it. He gingerly dislodged the now rust colored, clotted over clumps of paper and started his examination. After a minute he straightened up and said "It looks like she's cut her head pretty good."
"Yes, I noticed that also" I said. "I was actually bringing her in for a lube and filter change, but if you think that fixing the cut might improve her mileage I'm all for it, as long as it doesn't void her warranty."
He didn't ask me any more questions. Instead, he took a steel turkey baster off the tray, filled it with saline solution and peeled the top of my wife's face back over her head to do a lavage.
And when he was done there, he grabbed the bottom half of the cut and peeled down NewWifey(tm)'s face to the top of her eye sockets so he could wash out that side also.
I decided to wait on the other side of the curtain.
A few minutes later I heard: "k-chunk...k-chunk...k-chunk...k-chunk..." rhythmically, over and over for several minutes. After which the doctor emerged and walked past me without saying a word.
I popped out of the plastic Waiting Room chair and parted the curtain again.
What greeted me on the other side was...........
That rhythmic "k-chunk"-ing turned out to be the repeated application of a medical staple gun, the preferred method of closure for Emergency Room physicians too busy, or ham-fisted, for traditional suturing. Give my creature life!
My creature not only had life, but was by now also awake...and complaining. Aside from the obvious headache, her chin was scraped and her boobs hurt.
Yes, her boobs hurt.
I kinda wondered about that one when she first mentioned it, and later when she showed me the girls it was somewhat alarming. Both were a rather fetching shade of lavender, streaked through with red and yellow accents. She had obviously used them rather than her arms to break her fall.
But...why did she fall in the first place??
Once the combination of pain killers and sedatives the doc shot her up with took hold, I was able to finally ask NewWifey(tm) what in the world had happened. And she told me.
It turns out that it all stems from her being a pigheaded, stubborn redhead.
See, NewWifey(tm) suffers from periodic sinus infections. I don't know if she just doesn't produce enough snot to filter out environmental pollutants, or if inhaling several cubic liters of my expelled halitosis every night scorches the delicate membranes in her head. But every two or three months she comes home with a plastic bucket full of medicated inhalers and antibiotics and expectorates several wastebaskets worth of yellow sputum for me to step in when I get up for work in the morning.
Did I mention that NewWifey(tm) is also a pigheaded, truculent, belligerent, bumptious, stubborn, obstinate redhead?
Well, she is.
Despite the fact that her sinus cavities fill with a mixture of Elmer's Glue and Quick Dry Cement if she even reads the word "dust", she refuses to wear a respirator or even a Michael Jackson cloth mask while doing demolition work. Or any other kind of construction work for that matter. I bought her a really nice double-barrel professional unit a while back, and it just sits there in the corner, snug in its original packaging.
It's uncomfortable. It messes up her hair. It makes the bridge of her nose sweat. It leaves red marks around her cheeks. It's hard to breath through the filter. It smells funny. The rubber strap cuts into her ear. Black isn't her color.
Upshot: she doesn't wear a dust mask when she creates dust.
And this time, she created a LOT of dust. Three walls worth.
Predictably enough, her respiratory system started to rebel. By shutting down.
After 9 hours or so of toppling walls and sledge hammering mice, NewWifey(tm) knocked off for the evening and went upstairs to have a beer. Then another. And...another. She was too tired to eat the dinner I'd prepared. There are nutrients in beer, right?
At about 10-pm or so she noticed that when she opened her mouth to draw in air, alarmingly little of the stuff made it to her lungs. Her throat was finally starting to close after a full day of constant irritation, and at the same time her sinuses began to throb.
Having experienced these very same symptoms every other month for at least the past 28 years, NewWifey(tm) did what she always does: she had another beer.
And reached for her home pharmacy kit.
Rummaging around, she found some spare antibiotics, some Tylenol-3's, and some wicked-ass nasal inhaler her doctor gave her to try a few months back that opened her nasal passages like a Dremel. She took all three.
About an hour later she started to feel...funny. Oh, she was able to breathe again. But now she was having trouble seeing. And standing. And...she was gonna throw up.
So she wobbled to her feet, lurched to the wall of the living room and used it to guide herself as she staggered to the bathroom.
She crossed under the bathroom lintel...and the next thing she knew some guy with curry breath was pulling a toilet paper roll out of her head.
She had passed out standing up and fell face forward onto the bathroom floor without even putting her hands out or bending at the knees. Just, POW!. Straight over.
That's why her boobs hurt. They hit at the same time as her chin and forehead. It's also why the solid metal baseboard heater that she hit was now crimped down about 4 inches.
If there was one bright spot about this whole thing - aside from all the jokes I now pepper her with constantly - is that the cut is right on her hairline. According to Dr. Sari, this means that any scarring will be pretty much invisible.
Of course, that also means NewWifey(tm) will continue refusing to wear a respirator. After all, ultimately there was no harm done, right? I mean - it was only her head. Can't get much further from her brains than that. And since there will be no scarring, ie. no telltale physical evidence, it's as if it never even happened!
Did I mention that I think all redheads are stubborn idiots? They're certainly hard headed, anyway.
Well, gotta wrap this up and go tend to NewWifey(tm). She's calling for beer and painkillers again.
See ya in...what, a month and a half? That seems to be my current writing schedule. Maybe by then I'll have pictures of a goddam Professor Higgens library to post. Or a dead wife. Neither of which I'm looking forward to.
G'night kids. Breath easy.

Why Choose Bamboo Flooring?
Today's trend is forever moving towards Eco-friendly products. This has been the case for more and more people leaning towards bamboo flooring as the best approach in obtaining Eco-friendly products for their homes. Though bamboo cannot be classified as a hardwood as such, being from the grass family of plants the way it is processed does makes it harder than a lot of traditional hardwoods. Bamboo flooring comes in in horizontal, vertical and compressed grains, available in a range of colours you can go as light as a natural blonde to darker carbonised coffee tones.
Carbonisation, the heating process that alters the colour of the bamboo can affect the hardness and the darker the colour the hardness is reduced, but only by a minimal difference. Some manufacturers have recently started to introduce factory dyes or stained bamboo which gives you the option of even more colours. Introducing bamboo flooring into the market has given people the option of introducing more natural looking products into their home and is one of the main reason bamboo flooring is recommend today.
The actual process in the making of the bamboo flooring is very simple and easy. The bamboo cane is cut into strips, boiled, dried and then laminated into bamboo planks for floor boards. The last part of this process involves putting a polyurethane based finish to the product. This process makes bamboo very hard and durable, making it a good choice for high traffic areas of the home or office.

I promised a week ago I would make a comment about the ISI impact factor (IF) system (and my dislike of it).
I'll start off my diatribe by referring everyone to an Editorial written by Mike Rissner, Heather Van Epps and Emma Hill called "Show me the data" which appeared in the Journal of Cell Biology on December 17, 2007 (technically, Vol. 179, No. 6, pg 1091-1092 of JCB). This Editorial summarizes several other important articles (which it references), namely one article that was published in the Chronicle of Higher Education and one that was published in PLoS Med.
This is much more than an editorial, I would go as far as to call it an investigatory piece. They contact Thompson, request the data used to calculate the IFs for specific journals, calculate the IFs, and compare numbers. The IF numbers don't match. They re-contact Thompson, get a "squirrelly" answer at best, get a different set of data, re-calculate the IF's, and get a different set of IFs. They still don't match.
As the editorial (correctly) pointed out, if this happened in academia – the paper would be retracted. However, in this case, these numbers aren't retracted. On the contrary, these numbers are used to determine important things like tenure and promotion.
I could go on and on, but I'll stop here. You can read the Editorial. Thompson issued a statement (which they edited on 6/28/2008 by the way – 1.5 yrs after the original Editorial). It is located here: http://forums.thomsonscientific.com/ts/blog/article?message.uid=717
On the bright side, an alternative to ISI is on the horizon. It is free, and it was announced about 1 month after the JCB editorial. Nature wrote an article about it, which is located here: http://www.nature.com/news/2008/080102/full/451006a.html The database is located here: http://www.scimagojr.com/
And it is free (yes, I'll say it again). So no subscription needed – unlike ISI.
Anyway, enough for today.
(And I have no affiliation with either ISI or Scimago – though I wish I did have an affiliation with Scimago because I'm guessing they will get bought by google sometime soon, if they haven't already).

A great challenge in winter is to try and mirror the qualities of water to help find balance. Water mirrors the natural energies in wintertime – so they say in the East. So be a water baby? Be like water? Eau yeah! Flowing with ease around obstacles and always finding a level place….. I like that approach. Taking the time to sit down and tune into the inner compass with nothing to do and nowhere to be – just for 10 mins – like floating on water in between sets – sitting on chairlifts in between runs – there's a nourishing quality to being in that space. For a water connection be near water – streams, rivers, oceans, snow, have a bath….. Observe the ocean of space between your busy thoughts. Be present and you may just find a level ground. It takes time – it takes practice – it takes willpower to withdraw. But those wee sits produce a space to pause from the exhaustive pace and process it all for a more productive day. So dive in.
A great winter yoga practice involves gentle flows to deepen your practice with repetition and ease. Practice regular forward bends and backward bends to focus on the kidney and bladder meridians because the water organs – kidney and bladder- are looking for love at this time of year. Keep the low back warm and drink lots of water to help stay in balance this winter and why not take time to deepen your bhujangasana (cobra pose) and paschimottanasana (seated forward bend).
They say fear and anxiety are the water emotions which may be pulling you back if you're out of whack at this time of year. If that rings true for you, practice deep breathing and test your courage as much as possible to bring you back on form. Snowboarding helps me to face my fears and feel brave – then that transfers into other aspects of my day. What a winner! Is there something you love to do that makes you feel brave? Maybe back bends on your yoga mat?! Do that to help balance the emotions.
Be a water baby – be more like water this winter.

'Well done you f*cking politicians', Vijay Deverakonda, the Southern Sensation of Tollywood, begins his journey in Tamil Cinema Industry in an exceptional way. He gets a dream debut with packed theatres and his fans whistling and cheering during his introduction scene.
Verdict - "Competently Made Political Satire!"
Earlier, we have seen movies in which the main lead accidentally land in the Chief Minister's position. Be it Shankar's 'Mudhalvan' or Koratala Siva's 'Bharat Ane Nenu', those movies are about how the protagonist takes forward the unexpected power he's given, and how he reforms the State. NOTA begs to be different. In spite of getting into the shoes of a Chief Minister, Varun (Vijay Deverakonda) is reluctant and acts as only rubber stamp before certain events change him.
NOTA is not a full-fledged political film, the movie deviates to focus on the sub-plots, which cause an issue to the intensity of the film. It parodies every single important event in the political timeline of Tamil Nadu. Director Anand Shankar fearlessly satirizes the Government with his well-written screenplay and sharp dialogues.
Vijay Deverakonda has already become a household name in Tamil Nadu, and the audience didn't feel alien with him. They're elated, powerfully applauded and supported him. Devarakonda shined well as the accidental Chief Minister and performed his role proficiently. Yet, the movie doesn't completely rely on him, as the supporting cast, Nasser, Sathyaraj and M. S. Bhaskar had significant characters to perform. Even though the subplots slow down the pace of the film, it didn't have any unwanted duets to cause any mayhem or disruption.
Finally, NOTA will sure be well received by the Tamil audience and for the Telugu fans of Vijay Deverakonda, I am sorry as you guys would not be able to connect with this film and the scenes unless you had followed the Tamil Nadu politics from 2015. The film is a fearless attempt and a successful debut to The Deverakonda.
Welcome, Vijay Deverakonda!

A volcanic super eruption, which occurs about every 100,000 years, is a cataclysmic natural event, blowing out an incredible amount of debris and ash, devastating the environment and disrupting the world's climate for years, possibly causing mass extinctions.
While scientists continuously monitor several super volcanoes around the world, they don't know what actually triggers these violent explosions. Now, a new model of volcanic super eruptions shows these massive eruptions could be caused by a combination of magma chamber geometry and temperature.
Researchers at Oregon State University say the creation of a halo of flexible rock, which forms around the magma chamber, allows the pressure – built up over tens of thousands of years – to raise the roof above the magma chamber. Eventually faults from above trigger the collapse of the caldera, which leads to its subsequent eruption.
"You can compare it to cracks forming on the top of baking bread as it expands, as the magma chamber pressurizes at depth, cracks form at the surface to accommodate the doming and expansion," says lead author Patricia Gregg, a post-doctoral researcher. "Eventually, the cracks grow in size and propagate downward toward the magma chamber."
Findings of this research were presented at the annual meeting of the Geological Society of America in Minneapolis, Minn.

Einstein's theory of relativity isn't moot yet
Officials from three of the world's major physics labs express doubt about recent findings by European scientists who claim to have recorded subatomic particles moving faster than the speed of light.
Back in September, scientists used a particle accelerator – provided by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) – to fire a neutrino beam from a lab near Geneva to another in Italy. They say it traveled 60 nanoseconds faster than the speed of light. If true, that would disprove Einstein's theory of relativity, which suggests nothing travels faster than light.
The three officials – Rolf Heuer of CERN, Pier Oddone of Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory (Fermilab in the U.S.) and Atsuto Suzuki of High Energy Accelerator Research Organization (KEK) in Japan – also said they share a growing conviction that the Higgs boson, a particle which explains why matter has mass, will be found or ruled out within 12 months.

Sleep critical to adolescent's developing brain
Lack of sleep during adolescence could lead to more than slow-moving, sleepy teens, it could also have a lasting impact on how the brain is wired.
We already know that adolescence is a crucial and sensitive period of development when the brain changes dramatically. During a person's early teen years, the brain undergoes a massive rewiring of nerve circuits.
Experimenting with adolescent mice, researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that short-term sleep restriction in their test subjects prevented the balanced growth and depletion of brain synapses, which are the connections between nerve cells where communication occurs.
The researchers are now looking into what happens to the young brain when there is a chronic sleep restriction, a condition many adolescents often experience.
Study leader Dr. Chiara Cirelli says she can't predict the outcome of the studies which are already under way. "It could be that the changes are benign, temporary and reversible. Or there could be lasting consequences for brain maturation and functioning."

Mooning over asteroids
Most of us know that a number of planets have one or more moons orbiting them, but it might surprise you to learn that some asteroids have them, too. In fact, Joshua Emery at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville says about 20 percent of asteroids do.
Emery, a member of an international team planetary astronomers, focused his research on the triple asteroid Minerva, located in the main-asteroid-belt, which contains most of our solar system's asteroids. Minverva is known to possess two moons.
"Minerva was thought to be a pretty typical, unremarkable asteroid until we discovered its two moons," Emery says. "Now, interest in this system has grown. And through a lot of new observations, from both ground-based and space-based telescopes, we have developed a much more detailed understanding of Minerva and its moons."
Emery and his team believe the discovery of moons around asteroids is important because it can provide clues to the asteroid's formation.
"All other large main-belt asteroids with one or more moons are very porous," says Emery. "Such high porosity strongly suggests that they are piles of rubble held together by gravity rather than solid rocks."
The results of the group's findings were released at the EPSC-DPS meeting in Nantes, France.

2019 Grammy Awards Nominees: Drake, Cardi B, Kendrick Lamar and More
Hip-hop, which has reigned supreme as music world's most streamed genre for some time now, has long had a rocky relationship with the Grammy Awards. Over the years, there've been boycotts and verbal shots fired in response to the perceived lack of love the culture's gotten from The Recording Academy. Although the shut-out of Jay-Z and R&B diva SZA at the 2018 Grammy Awards may have further complicated that relationship, the committee has implemented some #NewRules that may help hip-hop's cause.
It also doesn't hurt that the undeniable dominance of rap music is reflected in the nominations for major categories like Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year in the list of 2019 Grammy Awards nominees, which were announced earlier today (Dec. 7).
Continuing his dominant ways, Drake got himself more than his fair share of nominations. He spent much of 2018 topping just about every music-related chart you can think of. Cozily perched atop the music game, he made sure his presence was felt with a bevy of hit-making guest appearances, as well as with his record-breaking Scorpion album—which we can see is now nominated for the Album of the Year gramophone. His song "God's Plan" is up for Song of the Year.
Cardi B may not be eligible for a Best New Artist nomination, but after locking in her first two Grammy noms for the mega-hit, "Bodak Yellow" earlier this year, the Bronx native has established herself as more than a one-hit wonder. Her Invasion of Privacy LP has been nominated for Album of the Year. Her Bad Bunny & J Balvin-assisted song "I Like It" is also up for Song of the Year. Salute to Bardi.
Leading all Grammy nominees in the world of hip-hop is Kendrick Lamar, who is nominated for several gramophones at next year's awards show, including Song of the Year for his SZA collab "All the Stars."
In what's been one of the most shocking developments of the day, Juice Wrld, whose breakout single "Lucid Dreams" has lived in the Billboard Hot 100 chart for months now, was not nominated for Best New Artist. In theory, the rapper, singer and songwriter's debut album, Goodbye & Good Riddance, as well as his multi-platinum single "Lucid Dreams" should be enough for the Chi-Town native to pop up on the Grammys' radar, but as we can see, that wasn't the case.
Returning to the West Coast after this year's New York City trip, the Grammys are coming home for 2019. Slated to be held at Los Angeles' Staples Center, the 61st annual awards show is set to air on Sun., Feb. 10 at 8 p.m. on CBS.

GOP Declares Mike Pence the Winner Two Hours Before Debate
The GOP made a big mistake before the start of the Vice Presidential Debate tonight – they declared Mike Pence the winner several hours before it even happened!
The Republicans published several articles they had drafted up to put up after the end of the debate depending on the outcome of the event.
"Who Won the Vice Presidential Debate," one article was titled in which Pence was declared the winner.
Other article headlines were "5 Questions Tim Kaine was NOT asked," "It's Clear Who Lost the VP Debate, Hillary Clinton," and "10 Things Voters are Saying About the Debate."

The Metropolitan Museum of Art announced today an exceptional gift of more than $80 million from Trustee Florence Irving and her late husband, Herbert Irving, a Sysco Corp. co-founder who died in 2016. This is the largest financial gift the Met has received in recent history. Mr. Irving's bequest will establish an unrestricted art acquisitions endowment fund, as well as several endowment funds for the Department of Asian Art. These funds will support acquisitions, exhibitions, and publications of the arts of China, Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and the Himalayas, with a preference for Chinese Decorative Arts and Indian and Southeast Asian Art, all fields in which the Irvings collected art. An endowment will also support the Florence and Herbert Irving Galleries for South and Southeast Asian Art, which were named by the Irvings in 1994.
For over 30 years, the Irvings have been landmark benefactors of the Museum, and in particular the Department of Asian Art. In recognition of their extraordinary generosity, the Museum designated the Florence and Herbert Irving Asian Wing in 2004.
"The Irvings have been inspirational donors in building the Museum's collections and galleries of Asian Art since 1987. This additional gift is truly transformative for The Met, and will ensure that the legacy of scholarship, programming, and collection-building they have been so instrumental in building will continue to thrive," commented Daniel H. Weiss, President and CEO of The Met. "We are profoundly grateful to the Irvings for their tremendous generosity and vision."
Florence and her late husband Herb were avid collectors of Asian art for more than 50 years, and in 2015, they gave an extraordinary collection of more than 1,200 works of art to the Department. Their collecting interests encompass all of the major cultures of East and South Asia and virtually every medium explored by Asian artists and craftsmen over five millennia. Their incomparable support of the Department is also recognized through the numerous galleries that bear their names, in addition to the Florence and Herbert Irving Asian Wing in its entirety. In a further mark of their support, in 2011 they endowed the position of the Florence and Herbert Irving Curator of the Arts of South and Southeast Asia, which is currently held by John Guy.
The Irvings have also been long-time supporters of the Thomas J. Watson Library. In 2015, the Irvings endowed a staff position in Watson Library in honor of Kenneth Soehner, the Arthur K. Watson Chief Librarian. In recognition of their generosity, the Museum designated the Florence and Herbert Irving Librarian, a position now held by Tony White. In acknowledgment of the Irvings' further support for the Library, the Museum named the Florence and Herbert Irving Reading Room in 2004.
News of this gift is one of two announcements made today about the Irving family's philanthropy. The family also announced a bequest of $700 million jointly to Columbia University and NewYork-Presbyterian for cancer research and care, which, when added to their earlier philanthropy, brings the Irving family's total support for these three iconic New York City institutions to more than $1 billion.

A new biography of the film star Warren Beatty claims that he has been to bed with 12,775 women. The author adds, usefully, that the figure 'does not include daytime quickies, drive-bys, casual gropings, stolen kisses and so on'.
Strange to relate, front-line reports from Beatty's former lovers suggest that he favours a rather dated, Austin Powers approach. In her autobiography, Joan Collins recalls him saying 'What's new, pussycat?' while one of his more recent loves, Madonna, claims that he pestered her for two weeks before she finally allowed him to kiss her.
'He kissed her on the doorstep, after he dropped her off,' records her biographer. ' "Houston," he reportedly said, after kissing her, "we have lift-off." '
One might have thought that 'What's new, pussycat?' and 'Houston, we have lift-off ' were the worst chat-up lines known to man, but I suppose it all depends on who is doing the chatting-up. To pick a name at random, it is hard to imagine the clinically obese Radio 1 disc-jockey Chris Moyles saying 'Houston, we have lift-off' to a woman and receiving anything other than a smack in the chops.
Woody Allen once said that if he believed in reincarnation, he would like to come back as Warren Beatty's fingertips.

The initial question really hits one of the complexities related to patterns thinking. I think when you look at the dynamics of the classroom or a particular problem you begin to realize how complex setting a specific structure (meta-pattern) is with a social system (complex relationships). When you place specific structures into a social setting (schools) you realize the many different meta-patterns that are emphasized. Think about the layers or hierarchies that exist in school systems. Then you examine the importance of the administrator sin serving as border and pore to ensure that chaos is not thrust into the classroom, or the principal who really serves in the centers meta-pattern to ensure that a common vision is maintained. Then the classroom itself makes up spheres. The actual community that thrives within the building. I think the complexity of schools themselves really present interesting dynamics from all of the stakeholders within. I felt that the figure on page 54 of the Bloom and Volk article represented all of the different meta-patterns working at once quite well. The discussion question itself is probably better answered based on the individual's fundamental connectedness to the situation. I think each member of the community would view a situation or problem from a different perspective. Perhaps the administrator sees an external factor based on the impact it may have on the organizational structure while the teacher or student views this external factor based on the impact it may have on the community within.

1. Just believe us. Don't make us explain every detail to prove to you that it is true. Don't ask to see lab work to prove it's true. Don't try to trick us into eating things we are allergic to in order to prove that we are not allergic. Don't shove the item we are allergic to toward us and ask us to eat it or take us to a restaurant and intentionally buy us food we cannot eat. Don't tell us that it is healthy so we can't be allergic to it. Don't tell us that if we just had enough faith or positive thoughts we could eat whatever we want an not react. All of those things listed here have happened to me or someone I care about.
2. Listen to us when we explain how sensitive we are. Sometimes, the food sensitivity only bothers us in certain forms, like cooked is okay but raw is not. For someone else, even the very smell of the item or if it's just being cooked in the same room could result in a serious reaction. Listen to what we say and don't ignore it. If you want to be helpful, don't for instance, have a peanut butter sandwich next to someone who you know is super sensitive to peanuts. Don't boil noodles in the same room with someone who has a severe wheat allergy. If you act like a jerk, we probably won't want to be around you. Don't make us avoid you because you can't be considerate.
3. Don't insist on making our food if you don't have the same allergies. It is very sweet when people try to make our food, but did you know that there are tons of hidden words and hidden ingredients in foods that you don't even know about? Even if a package says gluten-free, for instance, doesn't mean that it is completely gluten-free? It is very complicated. Even we make mistakes and learn the hard way. If you do make something, write down the brand name and name of everything you used (even spices and baking soda –everything that you add even the seemingly benign) and give us the list so we can verify that we can have it. If you are not willing to go the extra mile, you should not be making our food. The only exception to this is if we have said, "I am not that sensitive, so I don't mind if you make me something." This goes back to number 2 about listening to us.
4. Be honest about what is in the food you are serving if we eat at your house. If we trust you enough to eat at your house, be honest with us. Don't assume that things that seem allergen free are actually allergen free. For instance, did you know that most pre-shredded and pre-cut cheeses come powered with either gluten or corn to keep it from sticking together? I bet you didn't. Imagine how many other products you use that have ingredients you never think about. Believe me, we think about it. Don't say, "I am sure it will be fine." Because how can you be sure. So when we ask, "What kind of cheese was this? Did you cut it yourself?" don't act like we are over-reactive hypochondriacs. There is a reason we are asking, so just be honest. And, don't act like we are crazy.
5. Never ever say it "It should be _____ free." For many of us, if we walk into a restaurant that claims to be allergy friendly and someone says "That should be gluten-free," we walk out. It is too high of a risk. Never assume. There is an excess of wheat products in our world, and it is added to so much food that you would be amazed at the list. Derivatives of corn, wheat, and dairy are added to thousands of items that you would never ever think of. We cannot afford to assume that what we are given is allergen free, and if you want to help us, neither can you. This is especially true if we could end up in the hospital if we consume an allergen.
6. Don't be offended if we refuse to eat what you have bought or made. We have to protect ourselves. Sometimes it is simpler to just say "no thanks." But, that is hard for us to do if you are getting a bee in your bonnet over it. Don't make it about you. See more about this in number 8.
7. Don't assume that you can figure out how to eat with someone else's allergies when it takes us years of practice and lots of discernment and practice to figure it out. This is kind of the same as number 3, but, this needed a point of its own. Learning to eat with food allergies or even food sensitivities is incredibly complicated if you haven't figured that out from this list. If you make assumptions about what we can eat, you're probably going to make us sick.
8. Don't be offended if we bring our own food. The solution to not getting sick from eating at your house is to bring our own food. The problem with that is people get offended. Please, don't get offended! It is already hard enough to eat –a daily ongoing struggle to make sure we are not making ourselves sick by what we put in our bodies. It is even more stressful if you get bent out of shape if we do not eat the thing you are serving which we are not sure we can safely eat. Imagine being in that position? Often times we risk it for the sake of the relationship and end up regretting it. Be a good friend and don't put us in that position to begin with. Do you really want to be responsible for an allergic attack that sends us to the ER?
9. Don't insist on eating at a restaurant where we are unsure we can eat, because we may capitulate, trying to be nice and later end up in the hospital. It may seem like we are being sticklers about where we will eat out, but would you eat out at a place where you had gotten sick before? Or a place that didn't know about your serious food issues? Don't accuse of us being inflexible or controlling –we are just trying to stay out of the ER.
10. Don't endlessly tease us about our diet. At first, it might be funny, but we aren't happy about having to eat this way. It is not our choice. We are not doing this for fun. If we could we would eat normally so your constant reminder that we cannot eat normally could be very bothersome. It depends on the person, of course, but most people do not like being teased about things that are already upsetting and frustrating. This is hard, very hard. What we need is your support and understanding. Every day we live with the reality that we have to watch people eat things we cannot have but wish we could, and it is challenging. Don't make it harder.
11. Don't say that you'd rather die than live without the food we can't have. "If I couldn't have ice cream I would kill myself." Imagine telling someone that you'd rather die than have diabetes or a heart condition. It's beyond tasteless. It's mean. Basically, you're telling us that our lives are not worth living if we cannot eat certain foods. I don't think you really mean to say that, and if you do, then you need help. You probably have food addiction problems because that is not a healthy way to view food. Food is fuel for our bodies, and some of it tastes pretty good, but if you will only choose to eat what tastes good and would choose to die without the good taste, that's just wrong and very unhealthy.
There you have it: my 11 recommendations for helping your friends or family with food allergies. It boils down to this: listen, don't judge, don't assume.
I also recommend that anyone who has gluten sensitivities or friends and family with gluten sensitivities watch What's with Wheat which is discussed in this post.

What does one do when they're at a stand still with what was presented to them as a passion?
What seems like life's work (of what you can manage to remember) is now expiring and you've lost what you thought you had in it – so what do you do?
The people you speak most to and trust their word are telling you that this is your passion, this is where your ability and skills lie – but what is its worth if it takes effort and energy that we don't have? Passions and abilities should restore those things.
Living in a creative world where our "abilities" are so mainstream that they lose their originality and uniqueness, we in turn end up losing faith in what we do out of fear that someone could do it better or that what we produce is worthless in a world full of basically the same things.
But what we have to understand is that we should never stop trying to make a point out of our small existence, despite the overwhelming futility of an ever expanding life (when it's observed from one spiteful moment)
I've spent the past few months in a state that I've never experienced before. And it could very well be one that I've projected myself by feeling the pressure to follow rules I've made myself.
Now that I have finished high school and I am living independently – literally doing all of the things I wished so much to do ever since I was little – and I find that life can still appear extremely mundane. Someone said to me, which in retrospect was pretty hurtful, that I had everything I ever wanted yet I still turn all the positives into negatives. When I heard this, a huge part of me accepted it and thought it was true but as the time has passed the other part of me that denied it has become one I've preferred to follow.
Even though you can be surrounded by all that you envisioned, and you work a job that keeps you occupied and come home to someone that you love and that returns it, there is still a huge responsibility to comprehending the contemplative side of life. I've only just recently realised the importance of self worth, and the need for us to establish some form of love for our position whether it conforms to a system or not. My boyfriend comes home depressed from routine, being in hospitality for 6 years and only 23 years old. He's lost faith towards finding other abilities or interests or career paths and I find myself not being able to offer solutions.
I understand his perspective entirely despite the fact that I've depended on my varying skills to get me through the academic side of life and thus keeping me occupied and satisfied. But now that I have to actively seek my hobbies and past times, I get his anxiety towards finding that next step. I've been told recently that we as humans forget that we often forget our meditative role in this world, and that we constantly seek entertainment to the point where we can't stand not having it and develop damaging mental habits from our own projections of boredom and restlessness until it becomes so real and frustrating.
So what do we do about these feelings that seemed to have formed excessively despite how easily we can serve ourselves and our privileges?
Of course there's no real answer to a question like that, but we can start to try and accept our small existence in the world and just try to have a life while we can. Waiting for tomorrow only seems to lead us there faster, and before we know it we have forgotten the things we swore we never would.

On a design note, I've been trying to design some fonts based on my own penmanship as of late, but am having a hard time with my demo of FontLab. It seems pretty straight forward, but I don't think it's allowing me to export the font as it should be due to the restricted version. Maybe eventually I'll be able to try it out on a full version. Anyway, here are samples of what I'm working on.

This is a post in my series on organizing "between and beyond." Other posts are here.
Venkatesh Rao (@vgr) writes in this post that "premature sycnhronization is the root of all evil." Why? Rao writes:
- "Humans are most valuable when they have high autonomy, and able to play to their unique strengths and histories …"
- "Even with technology … sufficiently intelligence in machines drives diminishing returns from synchronization."
- "… Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety gets at why systems must be desynchronized … in complex environments."
- "… nature revels in variety and complex textures of desynchronization …"
- "Missionary tactical contracts are to loose coordination what job descriptions, performance reviews, annual goal-setting/personal development processes are to tight synchronization"1
- "… trust people … and expect them to work out much more meaningful and dynamic mutual expectations and working tempos for themselves."
- Preconditions are "… strong trust … Einheit …" and "… direction setting … Schwerpunkt."
- "… open communication is expected to bear the burden of coordination …"
- "… perhaps, we've had far more synchronization than people actually want or need in life. "
Authentic order enables synchronization when needed (like in a laser beam), while counterfeit order leads to premature synchronization.

Yeah, you won't believe this, but, they actually picked up my car. Yes, it's true. My uncle called and told me that they put it on a truck today, and it is heading west!
So let's recap… I signed a contract with a company called Town and Country Auto Transport. They lied horribly and said they'd pick up my car on March 29th. In the contract it clearly states that the pick up date is an estimate, which is meant to cover their butts in a case such as mine, where four weeks later they still hadn't picked it up. There is no recourse, there is no getting my $150 deposit back, there was simply nothing I could do about it.
So after four weeks of renting a horrible, piece of crap Kia Rio (no offense if you own one, but it's like driving around in an aluminum can, and has NO power, sucks ass), I gave up and was considering flying back to Ohio in order to drive my car out here to California.
Meanwhile, my car had been sitting in front of my mom's place and one of the tire's had gone flat. My uncle decided to get it fixed, got some outrageous estimate because it was irreparable and I told him to take it to Ford (before I left Cleveland I got an oil change and had them remove the snow tires – one of the regular tires was damaged, so I had to buy a new one). I thought maybe there was a mix up when they replaced it, and also knew that they would charge much less for another the new tire compared to the estimate he got. So he took it to Ford and they replaced the tire.
Later that day it occurred to me to ask the guy at Ford (David, VELY nice man) about shipping my car. Unfortunately they don't do that, but David was an avid car lover and had some magazines at home; which he looked through over night and called me the next day with a list of companies and phone numbers. One of these companies was Prestige Auto Transport, the company that picked up my car today. And in 7-10 days, I hope to be driving my wonderful Ford Focus around the Bay Area, finally!
Matt at Prestige was very nice and offered to try and get my deposit back from Town and Country because David had referred me. So far I haven't heard back on that issue, but I am still hopeful.

South West Regional League 3 South
Taunton Vivary 46, Sydenham Gems 35
SYDENHAM Gems were beaten by 11 goals in their Regional 3 South mid-table clash away to Vivary at Taunton Vale.
The result leaves Gems in seventh place, ahead of this coming Sunday's match away to TTNC Spartans, who are fifth.
Somerset Division 1
Sydenham Sapphires 42, Taunton Quantock 37
SAPPHIRES played Quantock from Taunton, and were faced with tough opposition from the start.
Excellent movement from Sapphire's GA Helen Martin, working the ball into the circle with teammate Laura Coombes at WA and Carly Langdon at GS, gave Sapphires a slight lead 9-7 at the first-quarter whistle.
Quantock, however, did not roll over and, despite strong defensive play from Tilly Milburn at GD and Nic Hale at GK, they moved into the lead at 23-17.
A change of positions for the second half changed Sapphires' approach to the game.
Kirsty Richards moved to C and Carly Martin to WD, and this combination forced Quantock to make more errors.
Justine Pearn, now playing at GS, hit some great shots and slowly brought the scoreline level with all to play for in the last five minutes.
Great teamwork from all, and encouragement from spectators, helped Sapphires continue their Premier Division promotion push.

Somerset Division 2
Sydenham Rubies 54, Taunton Priory 44
SYDENHAM Rubies hosted Priory, also from Taunton, and the defence set off strongly, with GD (Kerry C) and GK (Katie I) in the circle and WD (Jess B) on form.
As the game progressed, Rubies showed great focus, gaining the lead and keeping it throughout.
The attack worked amazingly, pulling in the goals with GS (Carly L) and GA (Justine P) in the shooting circle.
C (Kirsty R) and WA (Steph) played well, both as attack and defence, to make sure Rubies kept the ball safe and in possession to see out the win by a 10-goal margin.
POM: Jess & Carly L; UPOM: Jess; Opposition's player of the match: Steph. Sponsor: Countrywide and Ball Fire Protection
Somerset Division 3
Sydenham Emeralds 46, Taunton Brendon 37
EMERALDS played Brendon and started strongly, with well-timed interceptions from the defensive trio limiting the visiting shooters.
The centre court team of WA, C and WD had accurate passing to present the shooters with lots of chances.
During the third quarter, an injury to Brendon helped Emeralds to re-group and focus on their game.
The shooters had a brilliant last quarter, extending Emerald's lead.
The whole team played well, with Anna Jenkin getting player of the match, and Anna and Lizzie Purchase getting the umpires' vote.
Somerset Premier Division
Bridgwater Saturn 49, Taunton Tone 61
SATURN started out the first quarter well, with all players working hard to keep possession.
Despite some great shooting from Maddie Kennard (GS), Tone were able to cut out the hosts' passes into the circle, ending the first quarter 19-9 up.
The second quarter saw some changes in the team, as Rebecca Dunn moved to WA and Aiste Mockeliunaite into C, combining well with Morganne Dunn.
In the third quarter, Saturn's defence made some great interceptions, thanks to player of the match Emma Cocks (GK) and Lauren Cook (WD), but Saturn struggled to convert these to goals, ending the period 49-33 down.
With more chances, there were excellent drives and strong passing down the court towards goal from Ellie Schofield (WA) and Hannah Sayer (C), supported by Eve Jenner (GD).
This was Saturn's best quarter, but Tone were consistent throughout the whole game to win 61-49.
Player of the match: Emma Cocks
Somerset Division 1
Bridgwater Neptune 22, Taunton Monmouth 63
NEPTUNE took to the court confidently against a strong Monmouth, but the visitors pulled away to win the first quarter 17-3.
In the second quarter, accurate passes from Natalie Heal (WA) and Cath Clarke (C) enabled Neptune to score more goals, but still they trailed 32-10.
During the third quarter, there were great interceptions from Katie Anthony (WD, plus tireless work from Abbie Newton (GD) and Emma Cocks (GK), the quarter ending 44-16.
Neptune then threw caution to the wind and made some unexpected positional changes, moving Abbie Newton to GS and putting Jessie Woodbury and Aiste Mockeliunaite into the defensive circle, which worked well.
POM: Abbie Newton
Somerset Division 3
Bridgwater Mars 15, Taunton Tudor 22
MARS took a little while to settle, but Jess Chee (C) passed the ball quickly down the court to Anna Belcher (WA) and Izzy Innalls (GA), who fed Sharon Ethridge (GS) as the quarter ended 5-4 to Tudor.
With Andrea Martin-Haste on at WD, the sides battled for possession, and Jazz Alexander (GD) and Ashlea Slater (GK) helped Mars stay in touch (10-8).
Mars then made a rotation in the centre court, but the Tudor defence was strong, and they extended their lead to 16-10, a lead they held onto to secure an away win.
POM: Jazz Alexander

Mohamed bin Salman it has been revealed is the owner of the Château de Louveciennes, in western suburbs of Paris, which he bought for $300m two years ago. Added to his purchase of a $450m yacht and most recently the Leonardo painting of Christ for similar amount, bought through a minor prince in his household (Bader bin Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Farhan al-Saud), this completes a fairly complete psychological profile of the de facto ruler of Saudi Arabia.
Given what we know of MbS from these facts, a clear avaricious streak in his personality allows us to interpret recent actions taken against the rich in his country, including members of his family, as a desire to "own" Saudi Arabia singly. Together with his vicious launching of the Yemen War and his ill treatment of the Yemeni population, it is also clear he has little or no empathy. With no counter-balancing forces within the atavistic Saudi polity a ruthless and coercive tyranny is unfolding, which is unlikely to garner legitimacy whether by sticking to traditional Islamic modalities or indeed attempting to move on to more "secular" modalities.
In fact, the announcement that MbS seeks a more secular Saudi Arabia is tied to his wish to sideline resistance, but as the Wahhabi establishment will merely now roll over and do whatever he wishes, it is likely that the potentially destabilising effects of a move towards secularism, will be followed by a harsh return to such traditional Saudi-Islamic mores that help reinforce tyranny. Instinctively MbS is expecting the US and Israel to provide the support for his rule, where legitimacy will be absent. This will reinforce the decline of American influence in the region and reaffirm the continuing rise of Iran.
