Anthrax Vaccine
August 9, 2009
1. The US government is using laws designed for dealing with a very deadly pandemic or bioterrorism to bring in a mass vaccination program for swine flu, specifically the Public Readiness and Emergency Preparedness Act of 2006.
2. This law removes liability from the manufacturer, medical practitioners who use the product, and from "government program planners" who decided on using the law. A suit can only be brought if the DHHS Secretary allows it, and if there is willful misconduct on the part of the manufacturer.
This law has been invoked for swine flu drugs (tamiflu and relenza)
for swine flu vaccines, and for novel vaccine adjuvants (which may be used in vaccines to stretch the supply and possibly convey broader immunity)
3. If testing of these products is very limited, then the manufacturers are unlikely to become aware of their flaws, and specifically their adverse effects. Then there can be no willful misconduct.
4. Due to the fear that swine flu will cause a large outbreak once students return to schools, where the virus might rapidly spread, the US government has stated that vaccine is likely to be available, and used, before clinical trials are completed.
WHO says vaccine will be ready in September. Novartis began testing in humans in late July, and Sanofi-Aventis and Glaxo-Smith Kline are starting now.
The Europeans are also planning for use before testing is completed, despite warnings by experts about the potential dangers of untested vaccines.
[efoods]5. The adjuvants likely to be used to strengthen vaccines and stretch the supply are named MF59 (Novartis) and ASO3 (Glaxo Smith-Kline). Only 3 vaccines using this type of adjuvant (oil-in-water, a.k.a. squalene-containing) have been licensed in Europe, and none have been given a license in the US. Two vaccines using these adjuvants are only used in people above the age of 65 (Fluad-MF59), and those with serious kidney disease (Fendrix-ASO4). Both advanced age and kidney failure weaken the immune system, so more powerful vaccines are needed, but in this population autoimmunity is unlikely to result from powerful immune stimulation. Cervarix is the third European vaccine (using adjuvant ASO4 against HPV) and its safety is controversial.
6. The then-Acting DHHS Secretary issued an Emergency Declaration in response to the swine flu epidemic on April 26, 2009. This allows use of unapproved (unlicensed) medical treatments and tests, or use of approved treatments for unapproved uses.
According to the Congressional Research Service, on April 27, 2009, the Food and Drug Administration issued four Emergency Use Authorizations in response to requests from the CDC to make available certain drugs, diagnostic tests and respiratory protection devices.
7. Vaccines containing MF59 and ASO3 have not had Emergency Use Authorizations issued for them–yet. However, the government has purchased $698 million dollars' worth of these adjuvants in recent weeks.
US and WHO officials have indicated the likelihood of their use, which is the only way to achieve adequate amounts of vaccine for the US and world population in the fall.
8. These vaccines have never been demonstrated to be safe in children, pregnant women or young adults. They have not undergone comprehensive testing; for example, MF59 has not and will not be tested for carcinogenicity by the manufacturer.
See page 391 re MF59 carcinogenicity testing, according to a Novartis scientist.
9. The result of the new bioterrorism laws (passed with the expectation of use for much more dangerous epidemics than the current swine flu), which allow use of untested products AND give manufacturers an incentive to avoid comprehensive testing (to avoid being found guilty of willful misconduct) have combined with the political imperative to provide citizens vaccines in a hurry, yielding a Perfect Storm.
In the 1976 swine flu vaccine program, 40 million people were vaccinated with an inadequately tested vaccine. The government gave the vaccine manufacturers immunity from liability, but created an alternative compensation program. Five thousand people sought benefits for vaccine injuries.
Today, untested vaccines with novel adjuvants that are likely to cause more autoimmune illness than occurred in 1976 will almost certainly be used. The manufacturers have been given liability, as have the government program planners. But no compensation mechanism has been created. And the public has not been informed.

Joey Fatone Promoting His Own Private Plantantion House
You Have not Had the Full Sims 3 Experience Until You have Done These 10 Enjoyable Things! I consider that if the house were rectangular and not a U-shaped basin, it may well perform. Functioning atmosphere in office comes when there are acceptable interiors and living environment in a house comes from serene and cozy house like surroundings. 3 bedroom houses can be bought in the town from about £240,000 (January 2017). There is nothing at all worse than wakening up every single morning to find slugs in your house. If you have higher-worth things you could ask an auction house to sell them for you, but bear in thoughts their commissions are really high.
We left the house around noon to take my daughter to my parents so they can keep for spring break. I had a greatest pal with an underground house when I was about ten and I loved it. It was open on 1 side with lots of windows searching out on a lengthy meadow. The North American Bluebird Society was formed to encourage and instruct and encourage men and women to create and hang bluebird houses. Of course your house is not best, especially to somebody who has seen hundreds of residences in a matter of months.
My son in Arlington, TX, tells me that he has a pal in Ft. Worth who lives in an underground house. A Christmas Story House has a Totally free parking lot (six spots) and Totally free street parking on the streets in front of and directly adjacent to the house. This is what I found any time I got a new client, no matter how tidy the house looked. I hate having anybody come into my house and the first point they smell is cat urine. I really feel that some how his GG-Grandfather located his way back to the house (home) and he is attempting to inform us he is there.
In Chongqing, in southwest China in 2004, plans have been underway to develop a new six story shopping mall. I not too long ago located out my cat gets fed at a house appropriate at the other end of the street at times and I by no means believed he'd be 1 to go in other people's homes. V The house is practically noise-proof except for the guy down the hill who occasionally races his loud truck engine. Now position the front piece across the sides, guaranteeing that the scored section of the front piece is facing down towards the inside of the bat house.
The underground house should be dome shaped, set on top of flat ground, then put about 10feet of earth covering the whole point (in a small hill that slopes down on the sides so it looks organic), or bury it into the side of an exsisting hill, so its less likley to leak or flood, plus dome shaped assists with temperature manage. A couple of years ago a friend and I …

Venter stunner shocks Wits
Posted: 3 October 2015 Time: 15:00
Free State Stars were battered and bruised, but emerged with a 1-0 win against Bidvest Wits in the Telkom Knockout last 16 today.
Danny Venter scored the only goal of the game, but the true hero was Stars goalie Daouda Diakite, who produced a succession of saves to frustrate the Clever Boys.
Wits had two early chances from which they should have claimed the lead. In the opening minute Joaquim Lupeta fired a left-footed shot inches wide of the target, before he provided a perfect cross to pick out Jabu Shongwe, who had a free header but directed his effort wide of the far post.
The visitors continued to look the sharper, more creative team in attack, but they needed goalkeeper Moeneeb Josephs to make an excellent save to keep out a Venter free-kick in the 22nd minute.
Yet Josephs' save was put in the shade four minutes later by Diakite, who made a brilliant one-handed stop to deny Sibusiso Vilakazi when the attacker looked all but certain to open the scoring.
Stars were disjointed in their play in the opening half-hour, but the first-half introduction of Lucky Mohomi in place of Liberty Chakoroma and the subsequent change of shape saw an improvement for the hosts.
Yet Wits remained the more fluid and penetrative side, with Lupeta using his power and pace to great effect in the 48th minute, only to be denied by a brave block from the excellent Diakite.
Gavin Hunt was clearly frustrated by his side's forwards, and on the hour-mark he replaced both Lupeta and Vilakazi, giving a run to youngster Phamakani Mahlambi and the experienced Calvin Kadi.
The match needed a moment of inspiration to bring it to life and Venter provided it with just under 20 minutes remaining with a long-range stunner which gave Josephs no chance.
Wits continued to push players forward and were almost rewarded in time added-on when Ben Motswari fired inches wide with the goalkeeper stranded.

So yesterday I posted my blue polishes - today it's the turn of the greens. I seem to have quite a few green polishes - really quite amazing, as I never thought I'd be wearing green on my nails.
From left to right: Accesorize Aztec, Illamasqua Veridian, Chanel Khaki Vert, Mavala Bronze Green, 17 - not sure of the name, I think it has something to do with mints, Revlon Minted, Revlon Emerald City.
Here's another one I forgot to include in my earlier photo - Nails Inc Neal Street.
I've done NOTD posts of the Nails Inc, Accesorize, Illamasqua and Chanel polishes, but none of the others. I've not even worn Emerald City yet. I really loved the colour of Minted and have tried to do a good application of it for a NOTD post loads of times. Unfortunately the formula is terrible - one of the worst I've ever used. It bubbles, is streaky, needs about 4 coats to turn opaque, takes forever to dry and chips like anything. I've never successfully applied it. It's strange, as I love all the other Revlon polishes I've used. My favourite colours are Veridian and Khaki Vert, although shockingly, I've only used each one once. And I went to a lot of trouble to get Khaki Vert as well.
Are you a green polish fiend?
Thanks for reading! xx

Heat Shock
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of proteins that are present in all cells in all life forms. They have a variety of functions, but are mostly known as stress proteins because their expression is increased when the cells undergo various types of environmental stresses like heat, cold and oxygen deprivation.
Heat shock proteins also occur under non-stress conditions, essentially monitoring the cell's proteins. They shuttle proteins from one compartment to another inside the cell (trafficking), and transport old proteins to removal areas inside the cell. Heat shock proteins are also believed to play a role in the presentation of specific proteins sites or peptides to the cell surface to help the immune system recognize diseased cells. HSPs also act as 'chaperones,' ensuring that the cell's proteins are in the right conformations and in the right place at the right time. For example, HSPs help new or distorted proteins fold into their correct shape, which is essential for their function. Instrumental HSPs include but are not limited to Hsp90, 70, 60, 40 and 27.

When my daughter saw my son's stripey vest she wanted one.
One exactly the same but with bigger arm holes (his fits her but the armholes are a little tight).
We talked about it for days and days... could she have different colours? - no, she wanted it *exactly* the same so they could be twins. (erm right, I'd get blamed for that in years to come, I just know it)
Eventually I managed to get her to choose some different colours and popped to Spotlight to get some more to mix in.
Here it is started. It's purple on the bottom (but a very blue purple) a jade colour (her choice not mine), lolly pink and I've just started the blue row there.
I can't say it will be a beautiful thing when it's finished, but I'm sure she's going to love it and wear it with everything. There's not much more I can ask for than that I guess.
(I just hope taste comes with age!)

It's difficult to blame the international community for the prolific number of comparisons between the current crisis in the Central African Republic and the Rwandan genocide. There are parallels to be sure, and the "never again" mentality of activists and governments alike has drawn from the mythos surrounding the failure to act in Rwanda for two decades now. But we're looking to the wrong crisis of the 1990s in doing so. What's going on in the Central African Republic is not akin to genocide as what occurred in Rwanda. A more accurate comparison at this point would be to the ethnic cleansing in Yugoslavia.
At present, it's difficult to overstate the wanton violence being captured on the streets of the capital city, Bangui, and other areas around the Central African Republic. Last week, reporters were witnesses as an army ceremony turned into a lynching. The body of the man — accused of being a former member of the rebel forces that deposed the government almost a year ago — was set ablaze after being hacked apart. Peacekeepers from the African Union nearby did not step in to intervene, leaving the man to his fate.
Since fall of last year, the warning bells have sounded, detailing the worst-case scenario in the aftermath of the marauding rebels and the subsequent rise of the neighborhood militias designed to combat them. "We are seeing armed groups killing people under the guise of their religion and my feeling is that this will end with Christian communities, Muslim communities killing each other," U.N. special advisor on the prevention of genocide Adama Dieng told reporters in late October. "If we don't act now and decisively I will not exclude the possibility of a genocide occurring in the Central African Republic."
Massive ethno-religious cleansing is continuing," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres warned
With that in mind, it's hard to find fault in groups like Human Rights Watch — or reporters for that matter — for seizing on Dieng's comments, wanting to draw as much attention as possible to the atrocities that are taking place in Bangui and other areas around the country. Talking about the potential for genocide does just that, as the word — rightly — elicits strong emotions in readers, pulling up memories of the Holocaust's millions dead. In focusing on what the CAR is not, however, it makes it easy to ignore what it is. And what it is is starting to look like a textbook case of ethnic cleansing.
That's the conclusion that Amnesty International reached in a new report issued earlier this week. "Anti-balaka militias are carrying out violent attacks in an effort to ethnically cleanse Muslims in the Central African Republic," said Joanne Mariner, senior crisis response adviser at Amnesty International. "The result is a Muslim exodus of historic proportions."
It's also a fact that the United Nations itself is beginning to acknowledge. U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees António Guterres on Wednesday spoke of the "unspeakable proportions" of the situation in the CAR. "Massive ethno-religious cleansing is continuing," he warned. "There have been indiscriminate killings and massacres. Shocking barbarity, brutality and inhumanity have characterized this violence."
While there are certainly similarities to between the two types of mass killings, the difference lies in how the perpetrator is willing to go to see their goals through. Unlike genocide, ethnic cleansing focuses not on the utter eradication of a people, but their removal from a given area. "The expression 'ethnic cleansing' is relatively new," the first interim report of a U.N. Security Council-established group assembled to examine the Balkan situation of the 1990s read. "Considered in the context of the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia, 'ethnic cleansing' means rendering an area ethnically homogenous by using force or intimidation to remove persons of given groups from the area." The group later expanded the definition to a "purposeful policy designed by one ethnic or religious group to remove by violent and terror-inspiring means the civilian population of another ethnic or religious group from certain geographic areas."
Also like genocide, the process is illegal under international law as a crime against humanity, the U.N. group determined. In recent years, this has been codified in the form of the Rome Statute, the founding document of the International Criminal Court. Among the many other issues that constitute a crime against humanity includes the "deportation or forcible transfer of population." Given the Court's ability to prosecute individuals rather than governments, and the investigation that the ICC Prosecutor just opened in the country, it is surely a term that is going to be heard frequently over the coming years.
The use of the phrase "ethnic cleansing" is itself relatively new, hearkening back to the early 1990s. In 1994, the Balkans region of Europe were one of the most highly watched and fretted over areas in the world. In the backyard of the West, fresh off of its Cold War victory, Yugoslavia was dissolving, with the slew of successor states battling for independence or to keep the country united. Serbia struggled for years to keep states such as Bosnia and Herzegovina, Slovenia, and Croatia within the federation without strongman Josef Tito or the guiding force of communism. As these new states struggled with their identity and freedom, it came at the cost of removing from their borders any one who was "other," rendering formerly mixed communities as enclaves of Serb, Croat, and Bosnian Muslim alone.
The United Nations was meanwhile stricken with how to react, only recently removed from the U.S.-led debacle in Somalia. Complicating matters for the international community at the time, but providing an opportunity for comparison in the present day, is the fact that Rwanda genocide happened almost simultaneously with the crisis in the Balkans. When violence exploded in the former Belgian colony, it moved at an unprecedented pace with Hutus killing Tutsis in huge numbers, over 800,000 within weeks. In contrast, the violence within the former Yugoslavia was more of a slow-burn. The atrocities committed in the name of making a home for one ethnic group and one group alone were on a smaller scale, but atrocities nonetheless.
Because the fact remains that even if the analogy isn't perfect — where the Serb-dominated Yugoslavia was attempting to maintain a grip on its territory, the CAR is attempting to rebuild after a disastrous rebellion, among other factors — — what we're seeing in the Central African Republic tracks far more closely with the concept of ethnic cleansing than genocide. Following the disbanding of the Seleka rebel group earlier this year, the mostly Muslim fighters took out their boredom and desire for profit on the civilians of CAR — who are mostly Christian. The backlash came in the founding of the anti-balaka — or "anti-machete" — militias that sprung up to protect their communities, but have now turned their rage onto the Muslim minority within the country. "Muslim civilians are now extremely vulnerable," U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay warned in late January. "Many are being pushed out of the country, alongside ex-Séléka, and are now fleeing, mostly towards the Chadian border."
The flight of the Muslim minority has not stopped since interim president Catherine Samba-Panza took the reins last month. She appears to have reached a breaking point, however, as on Wednesday she declared war on the anti-balaka. "They think that because I'm a woman, I'm weak. But now the anti-balaka who want to kill will themselves be hunted," she said in a speech.
Still, despite the force behind Samba-Panza's declaration, the earlier mentioned killing of a Muslim youth has yet to warrant an official response from the Central African government, despite taking place just following an event Samba-Panza officiated. Nor did the uniformed soldiers receive any sort of public punishment that has yet been reported despite being clearly identifiable in numerous photos. These conditions make it all the easier for crimes against Muslims to continue, as civilians begin to suspect government complicity, compelling them to take flight for the safety of them and their families. Already whole neighborhoods of Bangui that were once majority Muslim are now emptied out.
The violence is not, however, unidirectional — nor has it ever been. To illustrate that point, the Washington Post on Sunday reported a story of a Christian youth killed in a lynching by a Muslim mob; he was unarmed and his parents now worry about the revenge killing that will stem from their son's death. It's that cycle of violence, death and reciprocation, that has made the CAR so continuously unstable for the last year. Already more than one million Central Africans have been forced to flee the violence, abandoning their homes in hopes of saving their lives. The international community is still struggling to provide a renewed sense of security, leaving the distinct possibility that the Central African Republic may be a country purged of Muslims.

But, since I had to wait on my gold fabric to come in the mail, I decided to work on my Orca Bay project a little. I didn't think I would get it done in a week, but I worked really hard. . and I DID! I'm going to be meeting Bonnie the first week of November in Hawk's Nest, so I wanted to be sure to finish it before then, and also before her next mystery quilt comes out. I still am thinking about borders, but I still got quite a bit done in less than 1 week!
I didn't get a picture of my HSTs and QSTs because I have been working on those as leader-enders since last year!
The first thing I did was my strings. Red strings were first. Aren't strings SO addictive?!?!
Also I wanted to show you what I do for each and very quilt I make, that has a block format - - I started labeling my sewn blocks (rows) with numbers, and arrows a long time ago. I used to throw the away, but I soon realized that since I use them so often, I could REuse them for each quilt. They are quickly scribbled on paper, the number and then the direction in which to press my seams. All odd numbers go one direction, and even numbers go in the OTHER direction. I attach them in the LEFT/CENTER of the block (away from seams) and pin with a small metal pin. The tiny metal pins don't get in the way when yo'ure pressing your seams. BUT, since it's paper, they do have quite a few holes in them at this point, and it's probably time to throw them away and start over. LOL. . Maybe I could use fabric this time around, so I won't EVER have to throw them away ;c)
If you're sewing from a pattern, then often times they will tell you exactly which direction to press your seams. I sew mostly my own creations now-a-days, so these little numbered/arrowed squares are necessary so I'll have nice butted seams. Not only that, but when I'm pinning my blocks on the wall, I'm not only looking for block placement, but also color. In scrap quilts, you don't want a big dark area, or a bunch of similar fabric close together. If your rows are labeled, you won't have to worry about getting mixed up.

A 1000 WORDS x CITY ORANGE
[16-7-12] - There's something wildly captivating about the colour, orange. Perhaps it lies in its blend between the creative energy of yellow and passionate vibrancy in the color, red. Or in the way wearing it amplifies the gleaming, gold undertone in my skin.
There is also something incredibly appealing about a photograph, set in the city. I Love the appeal of people wandering about, heading to somewhere or nowhere at all, the myriad of lifestyles, blending in the create an intoxicating vibrancy, the colours and so on. However, the sour bit about that is: they tend to stare. Ha! And, what makes matters worse is I now shoot manually - manual lens, manual settings, so when my camera is in the hands of a novice, it takes rather...long.All-in-all, a great, productive, fun-filled day spent with my sister, Sally and my cousin, Lotanna (that's a Nigerian name, in case you were wondering)! I The longer it takes, the more eyes gather and gaze. In other news, finally got some Jamba Juice! My favourite smoothie is the "power pineapple" - try it sometime. Peace.

If approved at the April 8 Glenwood Community School District Board of Directors' meeting, Wickham would take over for Kevin Farmer as West's new principal on July 1. Farmer announced in February he would be retiring at the end of the current school year.
A block of South Grove Street in Glenwood will be blocked off for eight hours Saturday, May 11, to provide parking for a party at the residence of a Glenwood City Council member.
By a 3-1 margin, the city council approved Craig Florian's request to have traffic on Grove Street shut off between Coolidge and Green Street from 3-11 p.m.
Council members Susan Hircshman, Steve Fornoff and Cheryl Evans voted to approve the street closure. Kay LeFever voted against the motion. Florian abstained from the vote.

whatever happend to that instrumental section in gumbo before the jam?
trey took it behind the barn and shot it.
When I was in Tucson I would see them around everywhere. Its like Florida for homeless hippies: they go there to retire.
wait...have you guys ever heard of something called "big cypress" ?
there is also a neat show called NYE 95...not sure what the NYE stands for though...
anyone heard those?
Enough of the red, infected, blubbering vaginalism...
Has anyone ever found the Charlie Rose int. on Limewire or kazaa?
I'm pissed I missed it...I think Charlie Rose has one of the best shows on TV. Amazing interviewer.
Who are you space wookies and where do you get your tunes from?
there's a quick blurb about the NYE 95 discs in the back of the dec 19th newsweek. what do the do with the one sentence devoted to phish? compare them to the dead of course.
"A 10th-anniversary release from the second-best jam band."
That's funny coming from the second-best weekly news magazine.
Was that your butt Jeff?

Grade: 4th
This story is about a camp counselor at Camp Lone Wolf. The kids in the story become suspicious of him being a werewolf after he eats his meat raw, is hair like a wolf, and is obsessed with wolves. I will read this story aloud to my students as part of a classroom management strategy. Whenever the class as a whole receives 25 gum balls in the class gum ball machine for good behavior, they will get to choose a book a reward. For this "book and a reward," we will read this story aloud as a class during read aloud time. When we finish it, the class will get to have a "Reading Camp" as their reward. They will bring sleeping bags and books to read for the day. They will present their favorite book to the class as part of the day, and they will also write a story about a time they went to summer camp and had a camp counselor that was some other type of character instead of a werewolf. Students will get to sit around a pretend campfire with a flashlight and read their story.

Evidently, trial uses plugins, which upon reading http://twistedmatrix.com/projects/core/documentation/howto/plugin.html#a uto3 I find that plugins need up-to-date dropin.cache files to be built, or else they'll be built dynamically; the latter step fails in my case due to my site-wide install being on a read-only directory. The docs say "when installing or removing software which provides Twisted plugins, the site administrator should be sure the cache is regenerated"; however all I did was install twisted itself, not any specific plugins. All I did to install twisted was 'python setup.py install --home=...' and at no later point did I ever add new plugins to it. Why can't the install take care of initial dropin.cache generation for me? I see a related issue http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/2409. Regardless of whether ticket 2409 goes anywhere, should I raise an issue that the install should really take care of initial dropin.cache generation, much like python install takes care of std lib .py->.pyc generation?

Brett Call
Hello, my name is Brett Call and I am a Junior at Da Vinci High School of Science. My fascination with Aviation started when I first set foot on a Boeing 767. I was amazed with how heavy it was and how fast the plane was going while seemingly floating in the air.
When I was in my Sophomore year in High School I was able to take a class where I learned about planes and how to fly on PC simulators. Through this class, I was able to fly a 1971 Cessna 172L with my now, flight instructor Michael Sherrill. During my first flight I flew from HHR (Hawthorne) airport to SMO (Santa Monica) then to TOA (Torrance), and returned back to HHR. I was able to take off and land at each airport mostly by myself. On my last landing back at HHR, I was told I did a glass landing. I knew right then that this was exactly what I wanted to do in my life.
I have been going through flight training at Beach Cities Aviation at Hawthorne Airport ever since I was the first recipient of GKWFA's Private Pilot flight training scholarship. I now have 17 hours logged and I am approaching my first solo flight.
Both my Mother and Father fully support my dream of becoming a pilot and pay for as many lessons as they can but this endeavor is rather costly. I need to fly every week to gain the practical knowledge and the 40 flight hours needed for my private pilot's license. Many do not have the opportunities that I have been given to work towards my dreams at such a young age and this is where your support is very much needed.
Any donations given to Giving Kids Wings Flight Academy in my name is fully tax deductible and would help me pursue my flying career and my dream of one day becoming a commercial pilot.
Thank you in advance for your support and be assured that I too will give back to those who need help in the future.
If you would like to help Brett further his training, you may choose a package donation below or click the "donate" button to the right and designate a specific amount. Be sure to name him as the recipient of your donation in a letter (address at right) or in an email: firstname.lastname@example.com

Macmillan is a really great organisation. Nothing seems too much bother for anybody and they always seem to go out of their way to help you. Which I think is amazing support really.
I always felt that Vikki, my Macmillan nurse, was on my side and fighting her best. Like when I had a scan and they said it was going to be three weeks, she said 'no, I'm not accepting that, that's too long'. And then she got me in three days later. She stopped me from worrying about things. And when I didn't feel well, I could still ring her up. She was like a little angel really.
Macmillan's website is really informative, and the Macmillan Support Line. If I didn't understand something the consultant said, I'd remember it and look it up on the website later on. You know you're going to get really good, accurate information from there.
Macmillan also paid for our extra heating costs. I was having chemotherapy through the winter and I was at home all day and feeling the cold because I didn't feel very well. The extra money really helped – because all of a sudden you're not at work earning overtime, and you're spending more on things and driving to the hospital every day, which was an hour round trip.
If somebody's poorly with cancer, they shouldn't have the added pressure of worrying about paying their electricity or heating bill. I felt under an immense amount of pressure to get back to work when I was first diagnosed, and to have that taken away from you is so much better.

2015 Kia K900 Fuel Economy Released
Fuel economy numbers are out for Kia's $60,000+ luxury flagship sedan. The V-6 version receives a 18/27 mpg city/highway rating while the V-8 is rated at 15/23 mpg city/highway. Unsurprisingly, the ratings are identical to the V-6 Hyundai Genesis and the V-8 Equus, two of Kia's sister cars. The V-6 K900 is able to achieve 311 horsepower while the V-8 will deliver 420 ponies; both engines are mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. The 2015 Kia K900 is a follow-up to the Kia Cadenza, an upmarket sedan. But the K900 truly enters luxury territory to compete with top German luxury cars. The K900 will offer amenities like active cruise control and brake assist, a panoramic sunroof, full LED headlights, heated and cooled rear seats, and a premium version of UVO infotainment system.While it will compete with top luxury flagships, the Kia K900 is not as fuel efficient as many of them. The BMW 7 Series has superior fuel economy ratings in both V-6 and V-8 form, as does the Audi A8. We will have to see how the K900 drives to make our final judgment of the car. The K900 is set to arrive in showrooms this year. Source: FuelEconomy.gov

I am having an issue with my Dell P2715Q monitor not waking up from "standby", "suspend", and "off" properly. This problem seems to only occur on Linux and not with Windows 10. The monitor is connected through a display port.
This issue does not seem to occur with just X windows running (no window manager). Also, I have not noticed the issue prior to logging into XFCE4 using LightDM. I think this suggests the problem is occurring within XFCE4
I have created a script using the output from "xscreensaver-command -watch" to use xrandr to turn the screen on, but this is a bit of a band-aide since the screen becomes visible behind the screen saver while the Dell monitor is being turned back on by the script making it rather useless.
Any help in resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Hello and welcome.
There was an issue with display port (and other) connections that was fixed and included as part of 4.12.1 (I believe this commit - bug report referenced inside). There is also this more recent enhancement to support eDP connections.
Which distro and what version of Xfce are you using?
Which version of xfce4-settings are you using? You can get it via:
xfsettingsd -V
What kind of display port connection is it? How does xrandr identify it?
Thank you for the information.
1. I am running Linux Mint 18 Sarah. I have tried various kernel versions and various versions of the NVIDIA drivers, but they do not seem to affect the problem. I am currently running kernel 4.13.0-26-generic since this version has been patched for Meltdown and Spectre. The output from apt install xfce4 is: "xfce4 is already the newest version (4.12.2)".
When the monitor is sleeping and I press the keyboard, the Dell monitor briefly shows a box saying "Entering energy saver mode" and then goes blank. If I type "xrandr --output DP-2 --left-of DVI-D-0 –auto" it does turn the monitor back on. It feels like it gets awakened but never gets assigned as an the output device like xrandr is doing when executed manually.
2. The output from xfsettingsd -V is: "xfsettingsd 4.12.0 (Xfce 4.12)"
3. The display port is a standard HDMI sized DP connection. I have also tried the mDP port as well and different cables. Those variations did not correct the issue. Using HDMI output instead does correct the problem, however that port only supports half the refresh rate at 3840x2160 resolution so that is not a useful option.
Xrandr identifies it as DP-2. Here is the complete output:
Screen 0: minimum 8 x 8, current 5520 x 2160, maximum 32767 x 32767

2. The output from xfsettingsd -V is: "xfsettingsd 4.12.0 (Xfce 4.12)"
4.12.1 has the fixes from the commit above. Check to see if the newer version is available in your repositories.
Toz, I also run Mint (although I've been holding off on the upgrade to Mint 18.3 (aka "Sarah" ) ), and I'm pretty sure that - if a newer version of xfseddingsd was available in Mint's repos - it would have been a "regular level update" and, therefore, would presumably have been presented as such and installed by the user.
Which leads me to believe that warmsummer is already running the newest files that Clem has placed in his distro's repositories. Would you know if there is a current PPA that has this file (and any newer versions of other files that might be required to satisfy its dependencies)? I remember using one back when Mint 14 was current several years ago, but do not know if it still exists or, if so, is current.

Sorry, but I don't.
Upgrading xfsettingsd to version 4.12.1 has, I believe, improved the situation. The monitor does come back up, however, it comes back up in "mirror" mode. Also, the Xscreensaver allows the desktop to be completely visible, though it does require a password to unlock the system.
Turning off compositing under "Window Manager Tweaks" | Compositor in the control panel seems to have eliminated the issue with the Xscreensaver making the desktop visible, but it did not fix the issue with the monitors ending up in mirror mode after waking up.

Okay, so two issues:
Xscreensaver allows the desktop to be completely visible - instead of turning off compositing, go to Xscreensaver settings, Advanced tab, and uncheck "Fade to Black when Blanking"
Monitors come up in mirror mode. This I believe is maybe this bug? As a workaround until the bug is fixed, you can add a hook into the resume event to reset the monitors using xrandr, but then you're back to a band-aid solution.
However, there was a recent commit that looks like might have addressed this issue. Depending on how you installed 4.12.1 - if you can also apply this patch (it's currently the only addition to the 4.12 branch), you'd be able to test it to see if it addresses the issue.
1. I tried unchecking "Fade to Black when Blanking", however that does not correct the problem. The desktop still becomes visible with display compositing enabled.
2. When the monitors come up in mirror mode, the "Mirror displays" option is not selected when I look at the the Display options under the control panel which seems strange. The issue does sound similar to what was reported in the link you provided. I also tried applying the patch, but it did not fix the problem. The patch seems to be related to preserving the resolution. I am not sure if it tries to preserve the previous mode also.
1. Is there another screensaver running? Like lightdm? I thought Mint shipped with lightdm as the screensaver (I could be wrong). I had the same issue with the fading and unchecking that setting resolved it for me. My laptop was suspending so quickly that the fade action didn't complete before the suspend, but rather afterwards during the resume.
2. There has been alot if traffic in the bug tracker about displays, mirroring and deactivating/reactiving displays and the preservation of settings. Have a look through the list to see if any of the others match. If not, you may wish to create a new bug report for this issue.
1. I have light-locker disabled as a screensaver on the autostart apps. Lightdm is running, but that is the login manager as I understand it.
I believe the only screensaver running is Xscreensaver. Also, when I disable compositing the screensaver behaves correctly.
2. I will search through the list.
Thanks for your help.

Gotta love those rates and, while they're maybe a little on the low side, they're not completely unusual for small town SK campgrounds. Of course SK residents, and any fans of Corner Gas, will know that "Dog River" is a fictitious place. The TV series briefly put Rouleau on the map and the town still capitalizes on Corner Gas tourism. The gas station and The Ruby which formed the set for the show still stand on the SW corner of town. When we drove in today there was a car parked there with a family taking selfies in front of the old set.
After Marilyn's reunion wrapped up in Cypress Hills we moved to Ponteix and set up there for the week so that I could visit Assiniboia clients in SW Sask. I've done this project for several summers now and its a great opportunity both to reunite with long term clients and to visit small towns across this vast province.
There's maybe 20 sites in this little campground but tonight we're the only tenants. Its not fancy but its got water, 30 amp electric, a sewer dump and southern exposure for the satellite dish. What's not to like about that?
Each town has its own personality and there's some real heritage buildings in some locations – big old cathedrals, civic buildings, provincial courthouses. The town waterworks with a 1913 build date is across the street from the campground entrance.
I've been wandering around visiting farmer clients who are largely occupied with harvest right now. Its a great time to visit because most days I can hop in the combine cab with at least one client and have a visit while he keeps on keeping on. The photos below were taken near Scotsgard where a large tenant was getting multiple new Case IH machines rolling early one morning. This one had the doors up and the operator was buried in the guts of the machine. I learned later that it had blown a chopper belt but that doesn't really matter. I couldn't resist texting the image to Michael who has seriously drank the red Koolaid. I asked him what could be happening with those open doors. His response "Looks like speed brakes to slow her down, little bit like a plane."

Holding their ground on the PlayStation 3 update debate, hackers finally came up with a workaround for firmware v3.21. Sony's decision to remove support for installing other operating systems on PS3 consoles with their latest firmware update has been widely criticized, and left its users with the dilemma, update and lose this great feature or refuse the security updates and be unable to use PlayStation network (and hence online games).
George Hotz a.k.a GeoHot, promised just a few days ago that he would provide the Custom FirmWare for PlayStation 3 users who wishes to keep on using Linux flavours on their consoles with the existing 'Install Other OS' option. He pleaded for keeping the feature as is, and condemned such a move by Sony; also stating that he would find some method to safely update the firmware without loosing any of the existing features, if Sony sticks to their decision.
Seems like he proved yet again what he is capable of, demonstrating on a PS3 system. The custom firmware GeoHot labeled to be v3.21oo, runs flawlessly on a PlayStation 3 system, showing "System Software Version 3.21" as well as being able to boot into a Linux environment without a hitch. The custom firmware is only for the users running on v3.15 or prior firmware, and those who already updated their PS3 with Sony's v3.21 firmware are out of luck.
In his blog, GeoHot takes on Sony saying, all they are doing is to turn their 100000 legit customers into hackers. He also expresses humorously that if he was someone who monetizes through his blog, he might have end up thanking Sony for taking this step, which increased the viewer traffic by 20 times. Though the CFW is already out to the mass, Sony is still completely silent regarding this whole event.

today is the fourth day I've ventured into edinburgh. albeit, the past two were actually work related but ya'know, it's been good for me. getting away from the darkness of my own bedroom and the constant isolation from everything/everyone I've been feeling the past few months.
I met up with my absentee best friend today, absentee because she had a baby at the end of last year and our schedules have just constantly clashed so we haven't seen much of each other the past few months. but like ya'know, there's only so many days of the week I can actually bring myself to get out of bed so mostly it's been my fault. but it's just so fun to see her after so long and absolutely nothing has changed between us. plus her baby is super cute so +100 points.
so what about this weather scotland's been having. it's not natural man. this heat is actually unbearable. even just sitting in it, your balls are fucking sweating. the minute you stop walking, it's like you're a human fountain, sweating all over yourself. it's horrible. but then the past couple of nights, it's been thunder and lightening and rain storms and THE HEAT HAS STILL BEEN UNBEARABLE.
which leads me to this outfit. so I've actually not worn shorts (with my legs out) for like three years. I dunno why, I've just not felt comfortable about having so much leg out, and I have A LOT of leg, like human spider amount of leg. I mean, I used to spend my weekends in hot pants so really it shouldn't have bothered me, but my confidence was down I guess. but I wapped these bad boys out today, in a frenzy, after spending nearly an hour trying to find something to wear and was like "fuck it, let's fucking do this". it was too hot to continue wrestling with my vast amount of clothing and I was already running late. and wahlah, legs oot in full force and I wasn't too self conscious walking around either, but honestly I probably would have went out wearing absolutely fuck all today if it wasn't for the fact I'd have probably been arrested.
shirt - boyfriends

drag me to plurality
Tighter than non-existence is thought's realm,
that's why it causes griefs that overwhelm.
temporal existence is more cramped than thought,
that's why the moon shrinks almost to a dot;
the sensual world's more cramped than this as well,
it is the most restrictive prison cell.
what makes it narrow? multiplicity:
our senses drag us to plurality.
unity's not what senses can perceive—
if that's your goal, then this realm you must leave.

In Diderot's 'Les Bijoux Indiscrets', a man acquires a ring which has the power to make sexual organs speak. Michel Foucault says that he wants to make that ring speak for itself. (He sketched part of his project in this paper last summer: Vol. 3, No 9.) Sexuality 'traces that line of foam which shows just how far speech may advance on the sands of silence'. To speak of it, to ourselves, to each other, to those who hire out their ears, is, we think (or Foucault thinks we think), to reach the root of our subjectivity. That is his interest in it. Speaking of sexuality is the present limit of that 'immense labour to which the West has submitted generations in order to produce ... men's subjection: their constitution as "subjects" in both senses of the word'. It is the present limit of confession in a confessional civilisation. And in its pretended disillusion, it is the present limit of illusion. For 'the subject' is a construction, something that is produced in 'discourse', something which itself presents a question; something which cannot thus be taken, as it has so long been taken, in much Christian theology and in the secular philosophy which followed, as the touchstone of any answer to some other question.

The behavior of every one of our members directly reflects upon the Respectability of this Club. As such the penalties for abuse of these policies will be direct. These may include counseling, warnings, demotion in rank or expulsion from the forum.
All decisions on chat abuse will be dealt with by the SFBAAPS Forum Moderators and Administrators. Appeals may be made to the Steering Committee and will be considered at their next meeting. Disciplinary Action will remain in effect until that time.
Message: A message is considered to be written text exchanges in the forum and verbal discussions in the audio channels.

Note:WTB, WTT, and LF as long as they are otherwise not spam, and not directed at a single person are certainly acceptable.
Flaming: A direct personal malicious attack #
General Policies:
You are encouraged to speak in a respectful and polite manner within the limits of reason and good manners. The limits of typed communication make it easy to offend. Be willing to apologize after a misunderstanding. SFBAAPS currently has young women and men as members who are under 18. Many others have young children of ages that watch us over our shoulders and can read, or who might "listen" in to chat. Further, we are an international group of people of all ages, sexes, religions, races, and backgrounds. As such, all chat must be of a manner that is appropriate to this diverse group. You are asked to closely monitor your use of crude or offensive humor and profane or vulgar language. Harassment or slurs of any type will not be tolerated.
Forum Guidelines:
1. Spamming is never, ever acceptable.
2. Never speak in a manner that will bring disrespect upon your Club or your Club mates.
3. Never use vulgarity, slurs, or crude or offensive language. If you have to ask, it is not appropriate.
4. No abuse, harassment or flaming. It is for the person being harassed to decide when they feel harassed. When you are asked to stop, you must, and expect to apologize as well.
5. No d00d Speak. A little joking around using "Do aqua" or "suxorz" once in a while is fine, but if you constantly comment about your "ph@+ t@nX" or "l33+ skillz" then perhaps SFBAAPS is not the Club for you. This is not a dØØd Club.
6. Begging for plants or items is strictly prohibited. This club has always been more than generous about helping each other with plants. This should never be expected, and always be appreciated.
Consider our boards as "TV-G" rated communications.
#TV-G(General audience)
Although this rating does not signify a program designed specifically for children, most parents may let younger children watch this program unattended. It contains little or no violence, no strong language and little or no sexual dialog or situations, and can be enjoyed by a variety of age groups. Networks that air informational, religious, educational, how-to content, or generally inoffensive content (such as the Food Network and HG-TV) usually apply a blanket TV-G rating to all of their shows (unless otherwise noted). Programming directed at preteens and teens on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel are rated TV-G. Some of Teen-Nick's programming, such as Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide and Drake & Josh are rated TV-G and TV-Y7 for mildly offensive language and innuendo.

The gnawing jaws of rodents are being blamed for a set of malfunctioning traffic lights at Central Avenue and E.C. Row Expressway in Windsor.
Munching mice blamed for Central Avenue traffic light trouble
The gnawing jaws of rodents are being blamed for a set of malfunctioning traffic lights in Windsor.
"I really have no idea why they do it. But they cause damage," said John Wolf, the city's
"Mice. Squirrels do it once in a while. I don't know if it's for sharpening their teeth. I really haven't the foggiest."
On Tuesday, city workers changed all the cables for an intersection at Central Avenue and the E.C. Row Expressway.
Wolf said the intersection had been having problems since last week, with the signals arbitrarily going into four-way flash mode.
Maintenance crews visited the intersection multiple times before it was finally decided to check the wires.
"There were gnaw marks on the cable," Wolf said. "In certain areas, the cable had been chewed by mice or some other animal."
The conduits are not sealed. Wolf said it'd be easy for a mouse to get into them via the manholes. "(The mouse) can basically use the conduit like a tunnel," he explained. "The whole conduit system becomes an arterial road."
But Wolf added that it's not actually common for furry critters to enter the conduits. Before Tuesday, the last time he could recall of it happening in Windsor was five or six years ago — at the same Central Avenue intersection.
The intersection leads to an industrial park, but Wolf said there are fields close by that he believes are a habitat for
"When you go into urban areas, you don't have this," he said. "It's Central and E.C. Row, Banwell and E.C. Row … That's why there are hawks flying up and down E.C. Row. There's food in the fields."
The toothy saboteurs pay a price for their chewing. Wolf said that if a bite is strong enough to really damage a signal wire, the biter typically gets a shock.
"We had one incident with squirrels on a pole. When we pulled the cable, the squirrel was still stuck to it," Wolf said.
There are ways to protect the cable — such as covering it with steel wraparound or sealing the conduits — but Wolf said such measures would be more trouble than their worth, as they would make it very difficult to service the cables.
As of 12:45 p.m. Tuesday, Wolf said the signals for the intersection in question were fully operational and should be free of anymore problems.
Everything you wanted to know about Windsor traffic signals but were afraid to ask
- The duration of green and red is not equal at every intersection. Signals are coordinated with timing plans. The plans are designed to minimize delays across the network.
- Crosswalk buttons don't affect the timing plans, nor do vehicles approaching from side streets. The system waits until there's an appropriate window in the cycle to service those movements.
- The length of time the 'Walk' signal is shown is based on an intersection's crossing distance. 'Don't Walk' always shows longer than 'Walk.'
- Windsor fire trucks are equipped with devices that 'pre-empt' the normal timing plans of traffic signals on fire routes.
- Unlike in some other cities, traffic signals in Windsor never go into four-way flash mode during late night hours. According to the municipality, such practices increase collision rates by as much as 300 per cent.
- Windsor's traffic operations division manages 290 signalized intersections across the city.

Today, as I anticipated on my last post, I would analyze femicide worldwide.
Every year 66,000 women are violently killed globally.
The regions where the rate of crime is high, such as South Africa, South America, the Caribbean and Central America, they are also leading the ranking of femicide. The countries with the highest ranking are as follows: El Salvador (12 femicides every 100,000 women), Jamaica (10.9), Guatemala (9.7), South Africa (9.6) and the Russian Federation (8.7).
According to a UN study, 1 out of 4 women of these countries states that it is justifiable to be beaten or hit by husband, or partner, if she refuses to have sex with him or because of a quarrel. In my opinion, this is frightening, absurd!! How can some people justify that kind of crime??
Now, let's try to see how is the situation in United States, Latin America, Africa, Asia and then we'll see Europe and Italy's data.
In United States 4 women are victims of femicide, daily. It is the leading cause of death for African American women and it is the second leading cause of death for all women between 20 and 54 years. The perpetrators of femicide are most often the husbands, followed by boyfriends and male family members.
One of the largest predictors of femicide in the United States is the appearance of physical abuse. This was found in 79% of all femicide cases in North Carolina.
Guns availability in the United States has had a substantial effect on femicide. Infact, according to a study by Karen D. Stout, it correlating to 67% of deaths.
There are a lot of femicide's cases in Latin America. Many of these victims are young women raped, tortured, and mutilated. The majority of the female victims belong to the low classes.
Femicide is a low priority of state governments partly because of patriarchal beliefs and assumptions about the role of women in society. In a Report on the Violations of Women's Rights in Guatemala by a United Nations Human Rights Committee, the state's failure to enforce laws protecting women from femicide is seen as highly problematic.
Feminists in Latin America have been the first to adopt the word "femicide" to refer to the massive number of crimes in Ciudad Juarez (Mexico), where since 1992 more than 4,500 young women had disappeared, as I already said on my last post.
Femicide in Africa occurs in many different forms, including partner femicide, mass femicide due to AIDS, honor killing and mass femicide due to female genital mutilations.
In African Islamist countries, women have to wear head covering or hijabs; furthermore, they have to behave in specific ways that are considered appropriate for women (not working, not divorcing, not travelling without a male companion, etc.). Women who don't follow the above mentioned rules often are killed or heavily punished.
Rape in North Kivu (Congo) and in Darfur is becoming a kind of genocide. The Cameroon's government, in its presidency of G8 in 2012, has included in its targets the elimination of rape as a weapon of war.
In Asia and South Asia the situation is very serious.
What is the worst place to be born women? India. According to the "ranking of horrors" published for the G20 in Mexico in June 2012, the first place is India, where women and girls continue to be sold as slaves, given in marriage even at ten years old, burned alive and sexually abused. According to statistics of the Indian police in New Delhi, there is a sexual violence against women every 18 hours.
A UN Symposium on Femicide stated the six most widespread forms of femicide in India, which include female infanticide, the killing of girls under six years through starvation and violence, the killing of women due to forced abortions, honor killings, dowry murders and witch lynchings.
In Afghanistan the legal age for marriage is 16 years old, but, according to the UN, girls are forced to marry much earlier. Violence agaist women is widespread and often unpunished. Sometimes, women who go to the police suffer from further abuses. According to data from the British organization "Oxfam", 87% of Afghan women said that they had suffered from physical, sexual or psychological violence.
The Special Rapporteur on violence against women for the Human Rights Council reported that the key factors behind gender-motivated killings of women in Asia and South Asia are the high level of importance placed on women's chastity and their subordination in the greater society.
Germany has the record with 320 victims in 2009, followed by France (288 victims) and UK (245 victims). In 80% of cases the person who commits a violence is a known person. According to the UN, half of the women killed in Europe between 2008 and 2010 has killed by someone who loved her, a member of the family.
On 15th of May 2011, the "Convention on the prevention of violence against women and the fight against domestic violence" was signed in Istanbul by members of the European Council. However, the Convention will becoming binding on the member states of the European Councile only after that at least 10 states have ratified it. Five states have ratified quickly: Albania, Montenegro, Portugal, Turkey and Italy.
In Italy doesn't exist a national observatory on femicide. Since 2005, the anti-violence centers collect women killed data from cases reported by the press. Only in 2012, according to the study carried out by the "Casa delle donne per non subire violenza" (which is situated in Bologna), femicides in Italy were 124. About 70% of women were killed by men with whom they had or had had a love relationship; about 80% of women are Italian, as well as theirs killers.
A new law on this issue has been approved by Italian Parliament, and soon I'll talk about it!

Seminole County voters did Central Florida a favor Tuesday when they overwhelmingly approved a bond issue backed by the property tax to improve public schools. Those voters showed that taxpayers aren't repelled by using property taxes to keep abreast of growth. They also showed that the key to getting people to support such taxes is to outline clearly what the money would be used for.
In Seminole's case, the $105 million bond issue will be used to buy land for a high school, build an elementary school and renovate 40 of Seminole's 41 schools. Seminole's problem is that it has grown too fast for its schools. The situation has gotten so bad that cafeterias are being pressed into service as classrooms. Seminole voters were smart enough to see that a bond issue was a good source of relief. For one thing, it spreads the costs over 20 years. More than just current residents will pay for the long-term school improvements.
