en | N/A | N/A | the option to use open or closed lists. The first three features encourage the cultivation of party reputations. The possibility to use open lists, which actually a vast majority of parties did on the local elections of 2003, and the national elections of 2006, provides incentives to legislators to cultivate their personal reputations. While the results of the 2003 local elections and the 2006 national elections show that parties appear stronger, there are still incentives for personalistic behavior because of the voto preferente and the campaign finance system. Current campaign finance puts the burden of fundraising solely on the individual candidates and not on the parties. See Botero (2006), Hoskin and García Sánchez (2006) Rodríguez Raga and Botero (2006), and Shugart et al. (2003)
6 The case of the senate is illustrative. In the 1991 election only 9 lists obtained more than one seat. In the 1994, 1998, and 2002 elections, only 3 lists won more than one seat respectively. Some scholars claim that because of the way in which it functions, the proportional system is transformed into a de facto Single Non-Transferable Vote (SNTV) system. Due to the inability of party leaders to limit the number of lists nominated in each district, politicians face a prisoner's dilemma in the sense that it is clear that increased intra-party competition reduces the odds of winning election for all candidates as the party vote is thinly spread. To cooperate, politicians must decide the order of the list which implies a rapidly decreasing likelihood of election for those not at the top of the list. Because they rely on their personal reputations, politicians nominate their own lists. See Cox and Shugart (1995).
7 This is true for presidential, gubernatorial and mayoral elections.
8 In Brazil and Colombia, main officeholders and substitutes take office during a legislature. We included only main officeholders to make the comparison between the two countries easier. For a discussion about the inclusion of substitutes, see Pereira and Renno (2003), Leoni, Pereira and Renno (2004) and Samuels (2003).
9 The index of competition is given by IC = (N/2M) - 1, where N represents the total number of candidates competing in the district and M represents the number of seats available in that district. See Santos (1997) for a thorough description of this index.
10 PSDB is the Partido da Social Democracia Brasileira, PFL is the Partido da Frente Liberal, PTB is the Partido Trabalhista Brasileiro and PPB is the Partido Popular Brasileiro. All of these stand in the right, pro-government side of the Brazilian ideological spectrum (Figueiredo and Limongi 1999).
11 Of course, this is an oversimplification of the choice process, mostly due to difficulties in homogenizing the data for both countries. Future studies should focus on specifying more correctly the choice model by including career options outside politics, performance in past elections and age. Given that such data is not available, we make the best of the data we have and are able to test how some fundamental aspects of politics in both of these countries affect incumbents' choices.
12 Weights were applied to increase the comparability in sample sizes between Brazil and Colombia. Brazil has almost three times more seats in the Chamber of Deputies (513) than Colombia (161). Weights were applied to make sample sizes more equivalent, overweighting Colombian incumbents and underweighting Brazilian ones.
13 Until the 1998 elections in Brazil, incumbents were granted the right of assured nomination by their parties if they decided to run for reelection. This was called the "candidato nato" rule. This rule was revoked in the 2002 elections. Nonetheless, even with the "candidato nato" rule, incumbents were forced to be members of a party if they decided to run. Therefore, the argument that more parties increase the likelihood of running for reelection is not affected by the change in rules.

en | N/A | N/A | This week, we’reast month, we introduced a new way of sharing Book+Main with your friends—and in today’s Biteucation, we’re going to talk about how it works, what’s in it for you, and why having your friends on Book+Main makes for an even better experience.Actually, it’s time for the fun to continue. We’d like to think that B+M is already fun, but you know what makes things even more fun? FRIENDS!
Book+Main isn’t a traditional social media site. In fact, it’s not a social media site at all, but that doesn’t mean you can’t be social while using it. If you’re anything like us, you turn to your friends for book recommendations, to talk about what you’ve just read and loved, and for help in figuring out what you want to read next. In this time of “social distancing”, what better way to do that than to follow your book buddies on B+M and see what they’re loving?
Every time someone you follow—friend, blogger, or author—shares a Bite or Post, you get a notification, which means you have the immediate, inside scoop into what’s happening in their book life . . . allowing you enjoy what they’re enjoying at the same time. Sounds a little like heaven, are we right? |

en | N/A | N/A | I haven't had time to post today, so with about ten minutes to go to make the deadline here's a quick thought for a book which you might like... Though best known for his Narnia Chronicles, C.S. Lewis was also concerned to try and explainof his own experience of faith. Into the midst of his writings on faith comes Mere Christianity which is a classic of modern apologetics. By which I mean that C.S. Lewis does a good job of explaining in a relatively straightforward way what Christian faith is about. The drawback is that it is dated and it is written in a particular style and reflects particular social norms of the time, ie the late 1950s and some of the timeless truths of Christian faith seem to be obscured, or at least not as clearly stated, because they become linked with a certain time and place. Despite that, there is a certain longevity about this book, purely because Lewis writes so well!
Another post for NaBloPoMo A deeply passionate and sometimes disturbing book De Berniers has a way of weaving the comic with the tragic which seems to hit the spot every time. Amidst the gentle life of a greek village he weaves stories of love, hate, pain, despair, joy, hope and some of the most stomach churning atrocities committed in war. This is a powerful novel, and not an easy read, I found some of the descriptions of tortures and mutilations committed in the Greek-Turkish war extremely disturbing, yet I am really pleased to have read this novel. It makes you think about what makes us human, and indeed what makes us inhuman. Read it, it is worth the effort.
Here's a light hearted offering for today. For instance, who has not felt the need for a phrase to describe the feeling of sitting on a warm toilet seat? Or the emotions felt when first riding off on a new motorbike? Or the guilt felt when caught pulling hairs from one's nose and secreting them in one's pocket? Well all this and more can be found in ' The Meaning of Liff ' - a wonderful companion that uses place names from the most obscure parts of the United Kingdom, and indeed all over the world, to give us the vocabulary we really need. Often imitated, never bettered, The Meaning of Liff is wonderful! And I know this sounds like a sales pitch, but I do love this book, and think every home should have one. though some of the ruder ones might need to be kept from the children!
has certainly kept me thinking and writing, and revisiting a few books which I am really enjoying thinking about again, and today's is no exception The Time Traveller's Wife by Audrey Niffeneger is a great book, a wonderfully written novel with a huge scope. I love books with big imagination, and this is biiiiiiiiiiiig imagination. A man with a kind of genetic time-travelling disorder flits back and forth through time without being able to control these journeys. It could have descended into a kind of farce with him nearly meeting himself over and over, but it doesn't - there's lots of touching and thought-provoking encounters with the woman who becomes his wife, and lots of reflection on the nature of time, life and who we are. It's a very striking and powerful book, though some of the language in it will upset those of a delicate constitution, it is a great novel.
Still going, and haven't got to any books I want to read yet... until now, that is, so I can't review it, so any comments, thoughts on this would be welcome... I like Adrian Plass, faithful, funny and fairly thought provoking (couldn't think of any more alliterations there). So is his take on the Bible going to be worth reading? He tends to retain a fairly conservative theology whilst being willing to take a few risks with what he says, so perhaps this book will be challenging, or perhaps it will be a way of trying to explain bits of the Bible that don't fit with retaining a conservative viewpoint. I wonder...
Hey, in stark contrast to my NaMoWriMo progress, I've managed at least one post a day for my NaBloPoMo! So here's another one... Definitely a modern fave for today's choice Donald Miller, though some of what he says seems much more conservative than the central premise of the book, offers a broad and thoughtful look at the state of Christian Faith today. It's all about looking at 'spirituality' in a new way. Whilst holding on to the core values of following Jesus, with plenty of illustrations from his own spiritual journey, he seeks to question lots of the baggage that we put on faith in the name of the Church. It's a personal reflection, and doesn't claim perfection, and as such is a glimpse into the search for meaning in our present generation. It's a very easy read, with no taxing theological verbage, and at the same time is filled with the presence of Jesus walking alongside this guy in his search for meaning. It's a good book.
For those interested in how many words towards my novel for this month I've written I have an update for you none life is full of small regrets...
Today's NaBloPoMo post is a spiritual classic God of Surprises is one of those books I can't say much about, you need to read it for yourself. It's about spirituality always having the ability to surprise, and the book does too. It's not a high-fallutin' kind of spirituality, but accessible, easy to grasp (though hard to practice) and full of depth and riches. A book to come back to again and again.
Today is 'Armistice Day' - Remembrance Sunday - the anniversary of the Armistice which ended the 1914-18 'Great War' (11th of the 11th at 11am). It is, I believe, roughly equivalent to 'Veteran's Day' in the States. Today we have given thanks for the sacrifice made by those who have fought for freedom in times of war. We have grieved at the bloodshed of wartime. We have prayed for those who serve in our Armed forces. We have committed ourself to peace. As a symbol of this Remembrance we wear a poppy, the flower found in abundance after the battles in France and Belgium in World War I. The blood red flower found where so many had fallen.
Sometimes I like to lose myself in a good thriller, and this is one, though Dan Brown gets a lot of stick, especially from those who take his writing too seriously (a la DaVinci Code) he does seem to have the hang of writing a good page-turner. i read this one on holiday and it was a ripping yarn and most enjoyable... I won't give any of the plot away, but like most of Brown's books, it is full of twists and turns with real characters and lots going on. Even if I said what the premise was it would give away one of the early twists so you'll have to take my word for it that it's a good story and well put together.
Well, not a bad start, two days in a row is pretty exceptional for my level of blogging over the past coupla months... today's book Theissen does a great job of writing a book about Jesus, without actually having Jesus in it. All the stories are told from the periphery of events in Jesus life, and the result is an intriguing and thought provoking book. Theissen himself is a Biblical scholar and theologian, so has a very broad understanding of the 'source material' and context of the Gospel stories. I should also say, it's entertaining and a good read. |
en | N/A | N/A | When Martin Luther King delivered the “I Have a Dream” speech, he shared his vision: to end racism in the United States of America. MLK was a great man that had a dream and he worked very hard to achieve his goals. Many remember MLK for his speeches and the power of his voice, but when I think about MLK, I remember him for his passion, hard work, and dedication to achieving his goals. As I sit here today and think about my life’s work, I see MLK in me. Just like MLK, I, too, have a dream!
What makes MLK even more special is that his dream lives on. Even though racism still exists in the United States, it’s a lot better than it was 50 years ago. MLK didn’t die in vain! While MLK’s dream was to end racism, my dream is to bridge the gap between the Deaf and Hearing world. And while it may not happen while I’m living here on Earth, I hope and pray that the gap is merged in the years to come.
I truly hope that the relations between the Deaf and Hearing communities will improve in the same manner as the relations between different races in areas where racism still exists but is improving. When I die, I want to be remembered as one of the people that did everything in his power to help bridge that gap. Like MLK, I will continue to work hard to make this happen. While I may not be a great speaker, I can work just as hard as MLK did to make a difference. At the end of the day, we will be judged by our actions and not our words.
I have a dream that one day this nation will look at Deaf and Hard of hearing individuals in an equal manner.
I have a dream that one day Deaf individuals will be able to go to any establishment and not be looked at or treated any differently than any other customer.
I have a dream that Deaf individuals will have access to the exact same things that hearing individuals have access to.
I have a dream that every television station will have closed captions or an interpreter displayed on the screen for access to all information.
I have a dream that Deaf individuals will not have to worry about someone taking advantage of them because they can’t hear.
I have a dream that one day ASL will be a language that is taught in schools all across the nation.
I have a dream that all Deaf children will have access to a language at a very early age.
I have a dream that all schools will have all of the resources needed if a Deaf student enrolls in their institution and all teachers and interpreters will be able to provide those children the same education and opportunity as the hearing children.
I have a dream that any agency that sends social workers to work with Deaf individuals possess the ASL skills needed to communicate.
I have a dream that ALL children will be able to play together, watch television together, and attend plays together and have the same access to communication.
I have a dream that we all realize that we are all equal!!!
As you can see, I too have a dream that I believe one day will become a reality. I know that we’ll never live in a perfect world, so I can only ask for change that is moving us all toward a more positive direction!!
I too hope and dream of a day where the lines between deaf and hearing worlds are invisible. Thank you so much for writing this poignant blog and please share with us on Facebook's Signing Families community page. :-)

We read with great interest the article by Dr. Kertai et al.,1 in which the authors identified a novel association between postoperative nadir platelet counts andDespite the elaborate statistical analysis and the innovative perspectives, we are profoundly concerned with the study design and the interpretation of statistical results, which we expect the authors to comment on and address.
Second, previous studies have verified that coagulation factor and fibrin dysfunctions are also in significant association with postoperative kidney and myocardial injuries.6,7 Therefore, we advise the authors to explore the functions of the whole set of serum coagulant components on AKI from a broader view, other than focusing on the single variable of platelet count.
In summary, we applaud Dr. Kertai et al. for their enlightening study and opinions on AKI and short-term mortality after cardiac surgeries. However, it is of utmost importance for us readers to keep alerted of the conclusions this study intended to present, in order to avoid overreliance on the statistical results while neglecting the possible biologic implausibility. We expect the authors to further address and explore on the above issues.

PUBLISHED: December 4, 2017 at 6:00 am | UPDATED: December 4, 2017 at 6:16 am
This holiday season East County residents have their pick of two productions of this timeless ballet. On Dec. 9-10, Black Diamond Ballet Theatre returns to for its sixth consecutive year with Sharon Sobel Idul’s full-length, professional production of “The Nutcracker.” One week later, on the weekend of Dec. 15-17, the Ballet Company of East County brings a new-for-this-year production to Antioch’s El Campanil Theatre.
This year’s Black Diamond Ballet production has increased its wow factor with changes to the choreography of many of the scenes, costumes and storylines, as well as bringing back Antioch native Terrin McGee Kelly to dance as the Sugar Plum Fairy.
“We want to give our audience the full theatrical experience and magic tricks and all of the special effects,” Idul said. “Hopefully the audience is enveloped in a beautiful ballet and that’s what we intend to do this year and we’re really excited about it.”
The performers tie the production to the community. Along with Kelly and Idul, herself a Pittsburg resident, the cast includes Bay Area professional dancers Diablo Ballet and Pittsburg resident Amanda Farris as the Snow Queen; Damon Mahoney as the Sugar Plum Cavalier; Antioch resident and CSULB Dance alumnus Jessica Fleming; Pittsburg High School graduate Myla Benjamin; and Pittsburg resident Anisa Stanton, along with 40 student dancers and actors.
Again she stressed the benefit to keeping the production community-based, allowing audience members to see their friends, relatives and neighbors onstage in both minor and major roles.
“I think that’s really important in the arts, that we’re able to see ourselves up there; it’s that tying to our community, giving us the roots that help us build a community,” she said. “If we’re tied to each other in some way I think we support and uplift the community. So it’s a ballet, but I think we’re doing more than that, it’s beyond just a show.”
On Dec. 15, 16 and 17, the full-length production will entertain audiences of all ages with its almost 100-percent child-cast of 95 dancers from Oakley, Brentwood, Antioch, Discovery Bay and Rio Vista, making it a true community-based production.
Owner and director Nina Koch promises something new in every year’s production, keeping it fresh and offering surprises for returning and new audience members. Her claim of never doing the same show twice keeps each year’s production well-anticipated.
“Our show is great for kids because it is beautiful and the story is so easy to follow but really the whole family will love it to,” Knudson said.
There are some new exciting things to see this year and Knudson has revamped a few of the scenes to keep the show evolving.
“This is a very unique opportunity for young dancers. It gives them a great opportunity to advance,” she said.
Knudson agrees. She says the biggest goal of BCEC is to give local dancers opportunities to perform and become better dancers.

The 1982 Scottish Liturgy (Blue Book) is used for most of our Eucharistic services. It is in contemporary language but has its roots back tot he earliest of liturgies, our service book explains some of its history. Additional material is used to enhance the seasons throughout the year and we often have augmented liturgies to mark various occasions, such as Sea Sunday, International Peace Day or The International Day to Mark the end of Slavery.
The Sunday School is held during school term time while the 10.30am service takes place and there is a creche for younger children who are also welcome to remain in church should that be your preference.

en | N/A | N/A | day in connection with a federal mail fraud case that has upset many people in the art world. Ferrell told a judge his guilty plea — in a case that also involves a University at Buffalo art professor — was voluntary.
But after the court session, his wife called the case “a persecution, not a prosecution.”
“Sir, is anyone forcing you to plead guilty?” U.S. District Judge Richard J. Arcara asked Ferrell, 64, of Pittsburgh. “Is anyone threatening you in any way?” “No, sir,” Ferrell said.
“From the beginning, this has been a persecution, not a prosecution,” she said. “I think the government has been relentless, and it is very difficult to fight the government with all the powers it now has. I don’t think my husband feels he was pressured, but we do. He just wants it all to go away.”
The Justice Department has denied those allegations, saying the case arose from public safety con-
cerns over the handling of potentially harmful forms of bacteria.
Federal prosecutors deny those allegations, saying the case was the result of some public safety concerns expressed by Buffalo police after the bacteria were found in a small laboratory in Kurtz’s home on College Street in Allentown.
The task force investigation led to mail fraud and wire fraud charges against Kurtz and Ferrell, who were accused of obtaining the bacteria under false pretenses. The two men were never charged with any terrorist crime.
“Well,s thought,” Kurtz said in a late 2003 e-mail quoted in court papers.. . . ”

en | N/A | N/A | And there are plans for further demonstrations in Normandy, he added, although the frustration of fishermen there appeared to be over why information they have sent about past fishing activity had not reached Jersey, rather with the island itself.
“We are working hard and endeavouring to issue licences that are fully respectful of the trade agreement,” he said.
“Any suggestion that we are doing anything other than that is absolutely incorrect.
“The challenge for us, of course, is the receipt of appropriate information, and we have even gone to the extent of saying that log books - which were required to be completed under the old Bay of Granville Agreement - would help us to issue what might be considered to be an appropriate number of licences.
“But you will be aware that the political commentary from Paris suggested that, on the one hand, there was no political will; and on the other hand, that the TECA has to be absolutely complied with, and we are endeavouring with both of those.
“But then, thirdly, it suggested that there should be a committee mirroring the Bay of Granville Committee, which is not respectful or compliant with the [TECA].
There have been tensions over who can fish in Jersey’s waters for a number of years. Until this year, these were founded on a belief in Jersey that the Bay of Granville Agreement, signed in 2000, increasingly favoured French boats at the expense of Jersey fishermen.
This was after a fleet of French fishing boats protested off St. Helier at the end of the last amnesty at the beginning of May.
But the Government has still not yet received enough data from France for it to confidently issue licences to smaller fishing boats which don’t have tracking technology.
Although Senator Gorst has rejected the setting up of a Bay of Granville-style committee, he did reveal that talks have gone on between Jersey and Norman fishermen.
“There has been engagement between ourselves and our colleagues in Normandy, because we need to get to a situation where there are no surprises one way or another,” he said.
“There was a political-level meeting only earlier this week, and there have been other meetings at an officer and technical level.
Further talks are expected to take place on 24 September, when the annual Jersey-Normandy summit is held in the island. |

Split-FacePassive Versus Active Dermal Filler Administration
Mário Jorge Freire dos Santos
Original Article Non-Surgical Aesthetic
QueryHyaluronic acid (HA) is a large polymer increasingly used as dermal filler. HA does not permeate through healthy skin and is administered using various injection techniques. As HA procedures become more popular, the number of complications in facial rejuvenation procedures is likely to increase. Alternative methods may be necessary to satisfy the increasing demand for HA procedures. High-frequency high-intensity ultrasound is a painless and noninvasive method to deliver large molecules to the skin that is expected to deliver HA with visible results.
Assess facial rejuvenation with HA delivered with high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound.
Fifteen women (mean age 55) willing to participate in a randomized, double-blind, face-split trial with HA and placebo formulations in different sides of the face, were subject to five treatment sessions with high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound. Ph last procedure were evaluated by a panel of five experts, blind to which side was treated with the HA or with the placebo.
The expert panel identified a noticeable facial rejuvenation in the HA side relative to the placebo with a vep < 0.0001).
Administration of HA with high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound is safe and leads to unambiguous facial rejuvenation.

Aging is a natural process, common to all living organisms. Some of its most visible signs are changes in skin appearance, namely wrinkles, sagging and dyspigmentation. The global increase in life expectancy, the decline in self-esteem with the loss of a youthful appearance and the pressure to prolong professional careers beyond 65 years of age, amplified the desire to rectify one of the most visible indicators of age: the skin.
id (HA). HA is a high molecular weight, very anionic polysaccharide responsible for the water content of skin, where half the HA of the human body is present [1]. Although no major differences were observed between the total amounts of HA in young and naturally aged skin [2, 3], major differences in the distribution of HA in different skin extracts were found as a function of age, indicating a shift of HA toward lower dermal layers with aging [1, 2]. The amount of HA in normal stratum corneum is nearly half that of the epidermis, but whereas the stratum corneum has a smaller portion of high molecular weight HA (> 1000 kDa), it has a higher portion of low molecular weight HA (< 60 kDa) [4].
The natural ability of HA to attract and retain water molecules suggested its use to promote skin hydration and, consequently, skin firmness and turgor. The intradermal administration of HA was approved by the FDA in various formulations for the correction of facial wrinkles, nasolabial folds and lip augmentation, and HA rapidly became the most popular dermal fillnearly 2.5 million administrations of HA were performed in the USA.
Intradermal injections of water-based formulations containing HA are usually associated with pain and with transient and mil bruising), hypersensitivity reactions, skin discoloration, vascular occlusion and opportunistic infections [5]. Injection-related pain is a major concern to patients and has been addressed with the addition of a local anesthetic such as lidocaine to the HA formulation [6]. Using a 100-mm visual analogue scale, a randomized, double-blind study reported a mean pain score of 63.5 mm immediately after injection, which was reduced to 25.3 when the formulation with lidocaine was employed [6]. Rejuvenation of the skin in the periorbital areadelicate anatomical structures. Injection in the superficial dermis of HA combined with glycerol improved the skin appearance but was associated with adverse events after the injection such as papules, erythema, edema, bruising and hematoma, in addition to pain during the injection [7]. It was reported that medium size papules lasted 5 days, edema (present in 80% of the treatments) lasted 6 days and hematoma (affecting 76% of patients) lasted 7 days [7].
It is widely recognized that the topical administration of drugs is only effective for molecules with molecular weights less than 600 Da and that hydrogen bonding exerts a retardant effect on diffusion through the stratum corneum [8, 9]. HA is a good example of a molecule that cannot be administered in topical formulations. Many physical methods have been developed to enhance the penetration of drugs in the skin, such as sonophoresis, electroporation, jet injectors, skin ablation or microneedles [10]. Of particular interest for aesthetic purposes are noninvasive methods that act fast, do not leave marks in the skin and allow the skin to recover rapidly after the end of the procedure. High-frequency high-intensity ultrasound pulses generated when short laser pulses are absorbed by materials that rapidly convert the laser energy into a thermoelastic expansion, were shown to increase the transepidermal water loss of healthy skin by a factor 2.5 and meet the criteria of interest for aesthetic applications [11]. Moreover, it was recently shown that such high-frequency ultrasound pulses enabled the delivery of 800 kDa fluorescein-labeled HA to the skin of minipigs [12]. This study reports the first clinical use of high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound pulses to deliver a molecule to human skin.
The difference between high-frequency sonophoresis and the ultrasound pulses used in this work needs to be emphasized. High-frequency sonophoresis employs low-intensity (0.2 W/cm2) ultrasound at 16 MHz or lower frequencies [13]. The high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound used in this work is a broadband ultrasound pulse generated in a photoacoustic (light-to-pressure conversion) process that yields frequency components above 100 MHz. Additionally, the peak compression pressures are high (Pmax > 10 atm) but very short lived (< 10 ns), and thermal effects are avoided by using a pulse repetition rate of 10 Hz. The photoacoustic process occurs when a pulse of a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser is absorbed by a material (“piezophotonic” material) that very efficiently converts the energy of the laser pulse into a thermoelastic expansion. Pmax and pulse repetition rate are controlled by the settings of the Nd:YAG laser. The high-frequency ultrasound pulses thus generated have pressure gradients in excess of 1 atm./ns that transiently perturb the structure of the stratum corneum and make it more permeable to large drugs [11]. The device to generate the ultrasound pulses used in this study was provided by LaserLeap Technologies SA (LL Dermal device).
We reportHA administration using hby the LL Dermal device. The participants in the study accepted to be treated with two different protocols, one in the left and the other in the right side of the face. The ultrasound pulses were applied to both sides but only in one of them the gel formulation contained HA. The two formulations (with or without HA) looked identical. This face-split trial was double-blind since the participants and research clinicians were informed that one of the formulations did not contain HA, but did not know which one it was. In view of the decreased amount of low molecular weight HA in the stratum corneum of the aging skin, the active formulation contained non-reticulated 15 kDa HA to compensate for the loss of this natural component of the outer layers of the skin.
This split-factotal of 15 participants (30 split faces) in two clinicalapplicable national laws and regulations, the advice of the national regulatory agencyEach participant signed and Informed Consent Form and a Consent for the Use of Photography before the study procedures were conducted. The research physicians performing the treatments, the participants of the study, the clinical centers where the study was conducted and the members of the evaluation panel did not receive any benefits form their involvement in this study.
Devices and substances employed
LaserLeap Technologies SA provided one LL Dermal device to each clinical center. This device has a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser operated at a pulse repetition rate of 10 Hz, a second harmonic generator and a diffusor to deliver a laser fluence of 50 mJ/cm2 at 532 nm. The device uses such laser pulses to generate the broadband ultrasound pulses via photoacoustic light-to-pressure transduction [11]. The ultrasound pulses have peak compressional pressures of 10 atm and frequencies extending to 100 MHz. All the laser pulse energy is converted in ultrasound, and no light exits the LL Dermal device. The laser fluence was checked before each clinical study and before the ex vivo investigation.
LaserLeap Technologies SA also provided two sets of identical 10 g flasks containing formulations #1 and #2. Formulation #1 contained 20% HA (HyActive, sodium hyaluronate > 93%, molecular weight 15 kDa, cosmetic quality class, produced by fermentation, provided by Contipro Biotech, Czech Republic), 20% H2O, 58% glycerol and 2% propylene glycol. Formulation #2 contained 2% ethanol, 86% H2O, 10% glycerol and 2% hydroxypropyl methylcellulose to match the viscosity as Formulation #1 and conceal the absence of HA. The compositions of these formulations were selected taking into consideration their safety, cosmetic convenience and also matched appearance and viscosity. The formulation number to apply in each side of the face was randomized and concealed in an envelope, which was opened by the research physician just before the beginning of the treatment. The research physician was not informed which one of the formulations (#1 or #2) contained HA and which one was the placebo. This was also an evaluator-blind study, as the panel of plastic surgeons and dermatologists did not know which side was HA and which side was the placebo when evaluating the photographs of the p
Subjects were restricted to women with approximately symmetrical faces, between the ages of 30 and 70, willing to give informed consent and to adhere to requirements for study. Thethe dermal delivery of two cosmetic formulations, one of them containing hyaluronic acid. The participants were also informed that the intent of the procedure was to improve the hydration and smoothness of the skin and were specifically requested to abstain from the application of cosmetics or perfumes on the face in the days of the treatments, and to report every adverse event possibly related with the treatment (pain, erythema, itching, etc.). The participants were aware that the treatment protocols in the left and right sides of their faces were different and could lead to temporary asymmetries. They were also offered treatment at the end of the study to correct for asymmetry. The major exclusion criteria included: (1) dermatological disorders or wounds in the face, (2) laser or intense pulsed light treatment in the preceding 3 months, (3) use of injectable products in the face in the preceding 6 months, (4) pregnancy or breastfeeding, (5) known allergy to any component of the product under study, (6) use of anticoagulants, immunosuppressive, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, (7) serious or autoimmune disease.
The study required 5 visits of each participant to the clinic. The first visit (Day 0) was dedicated to screening, informed consent and first treatment. The next 4 visits where dedicated to treatment. The visits were scheduled for days 3, 7, 11 and 15, but changes of ± 1 day were allowed for the convenience of the participants. Additional visits were offered to participants willing to correct facial asymmetries resulting from the treatment.
HA formulation on each split-face. The left side of the face was identified with a violet hairpin and the right side with a rose hairpin, to avoid possible confusions. The left/right (violet/rose), placebo/HA formulation assignment was concealed in sealed envelopes. Before each first treatment, the research physician arbitrarily selected one envelope, wrote the name of the patient on the envelope, and opened it. The instructions in the envelope referred only to the assignment of formulation #1 to be applied in the rose (or violet) side, and formulation #2 in the other side, but did not disclose which formulation contained HA.
Each treatment lasted for 60 min, including 10 min for acclimatization and initial photography, 40 min of treatment and 10 min for cleanup and final photography. The research clinician took six photographs of each participant using the following views: profile left, ¾ left, front face, ¾ right, profile right and forehead. All efforts were made to ensure that the angles of the photographs were reproduced during the study. Flashes were not used and the illumination of the room selected for the photography was kept the same for the whole study. All photographs were taken in a relaxed position. The treatment consisted in the following procedure: (1) a 1 mm layer of the assigned formulation was spread in a first zone to be treated; (2) the LL Dermal device was gently pressed against the formulation and the skin and, using circular movements, exposed the skin to high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound for 10 min; (3) An extra 1 mm layer of the formulation was spread over the skin and allowed to stay in contact for 10 min while another zone was treated; (4) once the total exposure time (10 min of application + 10 min of contact) elapsed, the zone was cleaned with de-makeup tissues. The face was washed with neutral soap at the end of the treatment.
The 1-mm layer of formulation initially spread over the treatment area ensured a good acoustic coupling between the device generating the ultrasound pulses and the skin. The total exposure time of each treated area to HA or to the placebo was 20 min.
Once the study was completed, the non-clinical researcher organized the photographs in a slide show. Two slides using photographs from different angles for each subject, labeling the left side “violet” and the right side “rose,” were included in the slide show, i.e., a total of 30 slides were prepared. The criterion to select three of the five angles available was the best correspondence in expression, angle and illumination before and after the treatment. The slide show was made available to a panel of 5 plastic surgeons and dermatologists. The panel members were blind to the contents of the formulations applied and scored independently each set of photographs per participant. The instructions and scoring table is presented in Table 1. Once the scoring was completed, the placebo and HA sides of each participant were disclosed,. The evaluation of facial rejuvenation in placebo versus HA delivery with the LL Dermal device was based exclusively on the scores given by the independent panel of experts.

Rose side
aExample of classification to be used when the evaluator considers that the violet side does not present visible changes, probably because the placebo was used, whereas in the rose side some wrinkles were attenuated in one of the slides and in the other the skin looks smoother and brighter
Average values of the scores given by the panel and standard error of the mean were obtained the whole population. The significance of the difference between the populations was analyzed using the Student’s t test for paired data.
The permeation of HA was also investigated ex vivo using fresh human skin from abdominoplasty. The formulation consisted of 10% HA (10 kDa, Contipro) with 1% of 20 kDa fluorescence-labeled HA (Creative PEGWorks). The formulation was applied over the skin, exposed to 10 min of ultrasounds generated by a LL Dermal device, and incubated for 10 additional minutes at 33 °C. A control without exposure to ultrasounds was performed under the same conditions. The skin was cleaned after the procedures and biopsies were collected for cryo-fixation. The frozen skin was cut into slices with thicknesses between 25 and 100 µm in a cryostat and kept refrigerated for confocal fluorescence microscopy.
Figure 1 shows the confocal microscopy of three independent samples of fresh human skin subject to 10 min of high-frequency ultrasound followed by 10 additional minutes of contact of a formulation containing fluorescein-labeled 20 kDa HA. The fluorescence from fluorescein is clearly visible in the epidermis. Similar results were obtained in the permeation in minipig skin of 800-kDa hyaluronic acid linked to fluorescein [12]. The hyaluronic acid used in these studies is too large to permeate the skin passively. However, the permeabilize the skin and significant amounts of HA can be found in the epidermis with less than 30 min of treatmr HA to the skin with noninvasive methods. The clmount of HA delivered in 20 min with such ultrasound pulses was enough to elicit a visible change in the skin.

Eighteen women were initiallybecause of the presence of visible and changing acne spots in the face and the other one because of an asymmetric face. One participant informed that she was being treated for an autoimmune disease. This participant was initially treated in a small area of the hand, did not show any adverse events and was included in the study. Fifteen participants completed the study and their photograph(min. 42, max. 66).
Only photographs taken before the treatment and after the last treatment session were included in the slide show. It consisted in two sets of photographs of each of the 15 participants, and each set portrayed different areas of the face. None of the photographs was edited by any means, except to crop the pictures to make then fit in each slide. As the colored hairpins were not visible in some of the cropped photographs, circular lines of rose or violet colors were included in the corresponding side of the face to avoid ambiguities in the classification of right/left sides of the face. Table 1 presents the instructions given in writing to the members of the panel. Each panel member worked independently at his/her own leisure. When the identity of the formulations and the randomization results were disclosed, it was possible to identify which side of the face was treated with the HA formulation (HA) and which side was treated with the placebo (Pl), for each participant. Table 2 presents the scores given by each member of the panel to each set of two slides representative of each participant. The photographs of a participant that the panel classified as “3—significant improvement” are presented in Fig. 2. Figure 3 presents a case where the average scoring of the panel members was “2—improvement,” and Fig. 4 presents a case of average scoring 1.6.

The scores given by the panel to the HA and Pl sides were averaged for each participant. The averaged values of HA and Pl of all participanent’s t test for paired data and p < 0.0001 was obtained. According to the blind-panel evaluation, the differences between the two sides are statistically very significant. The average and standard error of the mean for the placebo side was 0.39 ± 0.06, and increased to 1.35 ± 0.18 for the HA side. Figure 5 presents thA and Pl was also found in the subsets of evaluations consisting in the evaluation by each panel member. The panel found that there was a reduction in the extension of the wrinkles in the side of the face treated with HA in 93% of the participants. In only 1 participant did not respond to the treatment.
Average scores given to each subject by the panel of experts
It has been shown before thatmaterials with efficient light-to pressure transduction (“piezophotonic” materials), transiently permeabilize the skin and increase the dermal delivery of molecules of both low and high molecular weight [11, 12]. However, this is the first study attempting to show that the increased dermal delivery can have a visible effect on the skin. The molecule selected for this study was hyaluronic acid with a molecular weight of 15 kDa dermal delivery of molecules with high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound observed in pre-clinical models could be translated into observable clinical effects. The split-facand the evaluation of photographs taken before and after the end of the study by an independent panel of experts offered sufficiently objective evidence to verify this hypothesis.
It is important to emphasize that at least three alternatives could have been selected for the control side in this split-face study: (A) the procedure generates ultrasound pulses but the formulation does not contain HA, (B) the procedure does not generate ultrasound pulses but the formulation contains HA, (Cand the formulation does not contain HA. Option (A) was selected for this study because the absence of ultrasound pulses was more likely to be perceived by the clinical researchers and participants, than the absence of HA in the formulation. Admittedly, this placebo control uses high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound that may not be entirely neutral to the skin. Indeed, it has been reported that high-intensity pulsed ultrasound may improve facial wrinkles and skin laxity [14]. Hence, the evaluation of the procedure with HA + ultrasound may not have been evaluated against a totally neutral placebo but against an ultrasound treatment. This is the worse-case scenario for the evaluation of the permeabilization of the skin to HA, and was an additional reason to select this “placebo” for the control side in this study.
The plastic surgeons performing the study reported a high tolerability of HA administration with high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound pulses in the nearly 100 applications of this study. Only one transient and minor side effect was reported: redness after one treatment in one participant. This was assigned to insufficiently adherence to the treatment protocol: the participant was using makeup and did not clean it properly before the procedure. The redness resolved spontaneously and did not limit the participant to attend a social event in the evening of the same day of that treatment. There was no downtime and no pain with this procedure to administer HA.
The evaluation of this study was exclusively based on the judgment of the panel members. Nevertheless, each participant was asked to identify the side of the face treated with hyaluronic acid, without showing the photographs. Seven of the eight (87.5%) participants with an average score larger than 1 assigned the treated side correctly. Several of these participants requested treatment to correct for the asymmetry of the face after the completion of the study.
A proper evaluation of the longevity of treatments using this noninvasive delivery of HA would require the use of additional HA formulations, namely formulations with long-chain and cross-linked HA. The longevity of the facial rejuvenation is likely to depend on the combination betweenand the nature of the HA employed. The results of this study encourage the use of larger cohort to test such combinations in a subsequent study.
This study evaluated the effect of the administration of hyaluronic acidfacial rejuvenation versus the use of the same ultrasound pulses and a placebo formulation. The protocol was designed to provide the highest level of evidence with randomization, participant-blind, investigator-blind and evaluator-blind procedures in a face-split study. The study showed that the anoninvasive and painless, the recovery is immediate and the administration is very safe: it is almost impossible to over-do. The treatment is very easy to perform, with a fast learning curve and predictable results. It allows for the treatment of cases where the use of needles may not be recommended. However, it is difficult to quantify the amount administered and, with the current hand piece, the precision of site treated is not better than ± 5 mm. The independent panel of experts found an improvement in facial rejuvenation ofThe difference between facial rejuvenation with HA and high-frequency high-intensity ultrasound pulses versus ultrasound pulses and placebo was very highly significant (p < 0.001). The longevity of the treatment was not assessed in this study.

en | N/A | N/A | In North America in the past several months, three defense contractors have complained to US and Canadian federal reviewers that they’ve been treated unfairly in procurement programs for new military vehicles. Lockheed Martin has complained about Oshkosh’s winning production of the JLTV in the US, General Dynamics has complained about BAE Systems and SAIC winning development of the ACV in the US, and Oshkosh has complained about Mack winning production of the MSVS SMP in Canada. The particulars of these cases differ, but the companies’ reactions indicate just how difficult getting military procurement decisions can be. In the case of the JLTV, the government’s reaction also indicates why sometimes the government needs the right to be wrong.
In 2005, the US Army and the US Marine Corps launched their Joint Light Tactical Vehicle (JLTV) program, aiming to replace armored Humvees with something much better protected against landmines. As the Defense Department’s Inspector General later found, hoping for the JLTV delaye at least a year, at a cost of several hundred American fatalities—troops who would have survived in MRAPs, but did not in the lighter Humvees. MRAPs, however, are not all that mobile. So, in 2009, the Defense Department selected Oshkosh Truck to provide about 9,000 much lighter vehicles in the stop-gap MRAP All-Terrain Vehicle (M-ATV) program. In the meantime, the JLTV program proceeded through about six years ofent.
Shortly after Oshkosh finally won the JLTV production program back in September, Lockheed Martin filed a protest oflot of money was at stake: at almost $400,000 per vehicle, the forecast production run would amount to over $21 billion in revenue. Work on the program then stopped, in accordance with federal contracting procedures. In mid-December, perhaps sensing that the GAO was about to rule against it, Lockheed just sued the Defense Department in the Court of Federal Claims. The GAO then dismissed the case before it, as it never rules administratively on cases that have been taken to court. The Army, wanting its new trucks, promptly told Oshkosh to get back to work. In early January, Lockheed requested a stop-work injunction, which is now pending before the court. Late last week, Oshkosh and the government filed their counter-argument as to why work shouldn’t be stopped.
Along the wawas arguably doing a better job on mine-protection. In 2006, its troops in Afghanistan sortied into battle with rather robust RG31s from BAE Systems (now Denel), and pretty decent LAV-IIIs from General Dynamics. That same year, the DND announced a plan to replace a variety of aging military trucks with a Medium Support Vehicle System of Standard Military Pattern (MSVS SMP). But rather like the American JLTV, that project similarly took about ten years to bring to fruition.
Last July, Mack Defense won the contract to provide some 1,500 trucks and accoutrements, plus years of in-service support, to the Canadian Army (and the RCN and RCAF too) for about C$834 million. The plan was for Mack to deliver those trucks between the summer of 2017 and the autumn of 2018. But in early January, Oshkoshthat the process had been opaque and unfair. In Canada—perhaps uniquely in the world—military procurement is a joint affair of the DND and the centralized federal procurement office, Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC). By allied standards, their work has not had the best reputation for clarity and speed. Canada does, however, place an almost unique priority on ensuring that contractors—even American contractors—are treated fairly, allowing them to claim damages from the Crown if courts agree that they have not been.
But those aren’t all the protestations about military vehicles of late. In November, the US Marines awarded development contracts for a new Amphibious Combat Vehicle (ACV) to BAE Systems (working with Italy’s Iveco from its 8x8 SuperAV 8x8, and SAIC, working with Singapore Technologies from its 8x8 Terrex 2. The ACV project was the much less ambitious successor to That fiasco began in 1996 when General Dynamics won the development contract from the Marines. The program consumed over $2 billion with delivery of only troublesome prototypes before Defense Secretary Gates terminated it in 2009. In early December, GD, which had more successfully built almost all the 8x8 troop carriers for the US Army, the Canadian Army, and the US Marines since the 1980s, separately complained to the GAO about the ACV. The particulars of the case prompted Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute to wonder openly in Forbes this month “Has Best Value Become An Excuse For Process Abuses?”
I have two observations about all this. The first concerns this allegation of abuse—a harsh term in the American military lexicon. To get at the question, let’s review some more recent history. For years, value-for-money has been a bedrock of British military procurement policy. Of late, and as verified by the GAO, American practice has increasingly taken the opposite tack: seeking the lowest-priced but still technically acceptable (LPTA) proposal. As Brian Schultz and David Dotson of the Defense Acquisition University recounted in the November-December issue of Defense AT&L, that has caused consternation in industry, and to some extent even in government. But the selection process for the JLTV was firmly fixed on value, as was the process in Canada for the MSVS. The DND’s internal audit of the MSVS program in 2014 thought that the strategy was sound, noting that
To ensure best value, the bid evaluation weighting between price and technical criteria was a reasonable ratio, with less emphasis on technical merit than other fleets. As well, the second highest technical score may be considered if the bid price is [redacted] percent lower than the bidder with the highest total score.
Price is measured in dollars, whether George Washington or the Queen is on the banknote. Value is harder to denominate, which causes consternation for both economists in their estimates and procurement officials in their buying decisions. Scoring the value on a monetary scale is necessarily a judgement call, and in a three-step process. The people designing the bidding process must decide on evaluation scales. Sometimes they can rate fuel economy or top speed quantitatively, but sometimes must rate other attributes categorically—with labels like good and very good. Next, they must decide how to value those differences—how much to pay for another kilometer per hour, or a judgement of a step-change to very good. Finally, the people evaluating bids (usually a different set entirely) must determine how each entrant performs, and rate each observation somewhere on those squishy spectrums.
Before we continue, take a moment to note provenance of all this equipment, from South Africa, Italy, Canada, the United States, Singapore, and elsewhere. With so much engineering talent around the world, few of these things get developed as purely national projects anymore. The global nature of the products is matched by the transnational nature of the procurement challenge. There’s an old joke about weapon systems built by lowest bidders, and it’s true the world over. To the contrary, that’s why the JLTV was to be procured as no simple truck, a point emphasized by all the firms involved. Back in December, Oshkosh’s new CEO Wilson Jones told the Credit Suisse conference that the award had changed how the Pentagon viewed the company, recasting it from commercial truck builder to real “technology leader.” For the buyer in government, reaching beyond simple approaches is essential with most major projects, so military procurement is a challenging job the world over.
The second observation concerns that urge for fairness. Treating contractors with transparent and even-handed processes is pretty arguably the right thing to do, and practically, it’s also being a good customer. Slighted contractors may take their efforts elsewhere; even in the huge American market, they may underinvest in the next big thing. With billions at stake, as Sydney Freedberg wrote a few years ago about an early round with the JLTV, rejected bidders have “little to lose by gumming up the works for everyone else,” even if it slowed down “the already dysfunctional acquisition system even more.” And to be fair, protesting smaller contracts has actually become comparatively rare recently. As Daniel Gordon wrote in the spring 2013 issue of Public Contract Law Journal, it is now “rare for a protestor to win a protest” and “even rarer for a winning protest to go on to obtain the contract”.
But fairness cannot be the overriding concern. Perhaps, if General Dynamics’ protest of the ACV delays a procurement—regardless of whose kit is eventually chosen—then the US Marines will be fine all the same. Perhaps if they need to land on a beach in the next few years, their current Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAVs) will still work well. Perhaps those aging trucks will continue to serve the Canadian Army while the tribunal sorts things out. But in that counter-filing in the US, the Army’s JLTV project manager argued that stopping work would “introduce unnecessary and untenable risks” for soldiers and marines. That might seem breathless, but as with the MRAP, every additional month without work on the program is another month with only M-ATVs. They’re very good, but not as mobile. And as much as we’d like to hope that will be enough, today’s defense secretary occasionally talks ominously about more boots on the ground. At a certain point, strategic urgency trumps procedural justice.

On Motherhood, Expectations and "Balance"
Five years ago I became mother. You hear that instantly your life changes or that suddenly your heart explodes into a bigger, fuller exponential version of itself. It wasn't so instantaneous for me, and I am profoundly okay with that!
Motherhood was a very hard transition for me. Physically, I had a less than picture perfect pregnancy-- I puked the whole time (it became a big joke. Like, I would literally sneeze and then puke. I would laugh too hard, puke.). The only food I could manage to eat was Wendy's cheeseburger meals, one giant cup of Starbucks coffee and Sour Patch Kids. If you know me now (the basically vegan, adaptogen-filled clean eater, you're like WHAAAAT. Yeah, it was a thing.) I had such bad carpal tunnel that I couldn't drive a car without my arms going completely numb. Aaaaand I put on a whopping 100 pounds, most of which was accounted for in my fluid-swollen feet that resembled dough balls.
Having our son was pretty rough. I didn't know what to expect or even what I hoped for out of it (we got a pretty extreme situation that involved a 20 hour labor, 4 hours of pushing, emergency c-section and a bacterial superbug that left me mostly bed ridden for 18 months)<------ wah, wahhhhhh, right?!
The above is really just for context. All of us have our stories when a new human comes into the world. New life in the world effects us all in so many ways. Whether you're a biological mother or father, mothers and fathers adopting, mother or father figures, parental figures outside of the binaries and all the varieties of single or partnered or coparenting, grandparents, friends, more.
They say it takes a village. Well the village has a thousand faces and iterations and it may appear/change appearance once crossing the threshold. It may involve a supportive community. It may be lonely. It may be joyful or sad or easy or profoundly difficult. There's a big old spectrum of complex stuff in there and it's never just one or the other. It will most definitely be filled with many layers and experiences that you bring to the table.
We all came from somewhere and we all carry stuff with us.
This is maybe where expectations come in. Someone wise once told me there are three types of expectations, and they are all profoundly dangerous: unrealistic expectations, unspoken expectations and unmet expectations. And our American experience of parenthood in 2019 is rife with them!
As women, we are so prone to put such crazy expectations on ourselves. Be a present mother. Be strong in our career lives and don't let motherhood get in the way during those hours. Stay young and fit and beautiful. Be a good partner. Be able to do it all on your own. Have a tribe of girlfriends who are ride or die, and for goodness sakes you better #selfcare to keep it cranking. HOLD UP.
For men, expectations of masculinity, partnerhood, being a strong provider, being a good man in the world. Also, a culture that doesn't recognize that men go through a lot in parenthood too. The exhaustion, feeling divided. There is in inequity for dads, too in a lack of emotional support on this side of parenthood. WAIT, WAIT.
And for LGBTQ and non-binary parents, all the same issues PLUS family acceptance, cultural otherness and the unfair expectation to educate everyone on it all.
Y'ALL. How in the world can ANY of us feel good about who we are and where we are if we are carrying all this on us all the time?? Don't get me wrong, I am NOT saying this is all self-imposed. But we all belong to the culture that has created this cluster-F of expectations that we are suddenly thrashing around in (maybe sometimes drowning in. And to be fair, maybe sometimes thriving in, too).
And this is where it gets exciting-- if we belong to the culture that set this weird situation up, we are the culture that can change it all. And I think it takes something RADICAL.
Let go of the expectations while also operating from a place of deep acceptance and love of yourself and all the people around you. Balance does not exist. It is an illusion. So recreate your foundation and base it in LOVE.
Radically love yourself. Radically love your children. Radically love your partner. Radically love the people around yo (We are all screwed up!)<--- We all have wounds of some sort. What if you could accept the wound. Process the wound. It may not make sense of it and it certainly doesn't have to excuse it. But if you could send that hurt place some of your unconditional love, what if you could be free of it walking around with you every day in the ways that it doesn't serve you?
Are you still with me here? What if we could all live in a place where moment to moment, we let a bigger, compassion-filled unconditional love guide us? We can't make the struggle go away with a snap of our fingers. We can't break down systemic oppression overnight, but what if we redefined and reclaimed the village?? What if we really lived our lives recognizing that we all belong to the same big-ass village (whether you're a parent or not)??
We are each a beautiful weirdo out here in the worldpeople on the other side of your experience. And love all the little humans. We can do this. For ourselves. For our neighbors. For our kiddos.
Happy Mother's Day. To everyone. |

is it the right way?
A: With VerifyCSRFToken enabled in Laravel, you will need to use cookies in Postman requests. To use cookies in your requests see this SO Post
The issue is that Laravel's VerifyCsrfToken middleware looks for your token in the session when matching it, as follows:
The way that Laravel gets the session is from the cookie. So in order for Laravel to verify a CSRF token, you need to send your session id in the cookie with the request as well.
You can find the session id you want to use in http response headers SET-COOKIE:xxx_session='sometoken'
You can then add the xxx_session=... cookie to the request you want to make.
Also, the GET method should be working as GET routes are not CSRF protected. This is one reason why you should never have GET routes that modify the state of your application. |

en | N/A | N/A | Since we finally got the vaccine for Covid-19 people aren’t feeling free from taking the dose. After all, the fear of getting side effects makes them hesitate. However, the pregnant and nursing ladies might have questions like can I get vaccinated while breastfeeding? Or is it safe to get vaccinated while breastfeeding? And why not, as we don’t data on trials on pregnant or nursing ladies. Hence, it’s quite normal to feel so. But most probably the vaccine is safe and won’t affect your infant.
But talking to your physician before taking the dose will clear your doubts regarding the vaccine. Through this article, we will share with you what the experts say about the administration of vaccines while breastfeeding.
What you can ask your doctor?
Can the COVID-19 vaccine be excreted through breastfeeding?
How long after Covid can you take the vaccine?
How many people got Covid after getting vaccine?
A board-certified obstetric gynecologist, Nicole Calloway Rankins says that being a new vaccine, we don’t have enough data on trials on breastfeeding women, but we have observed that the vaccine is well endurable with minimal side effects. But we have also realized that the second dose of vaccine is more probably can cause fatigue, pain in muscles, and recovery in 24-48 hours.
On one hand, researchers said that the side effects in nursing mothers are not different from anyone else. The side effects will be tracked as more people get vaccinated. Hence, either you are afraid of the minimal effects from taking the vaccine or afraid of getting the infection which may cause unpredictable effects. Comparatively, taking the vaccine is still on the safe side.
Also, the academy of breastfeeding medicine suggests breastfeeding women get vaccinated. Despite the fact it has a little reasonable risk for the infant but has biological benefits too. The antibodies formed in the mother’s body may passively pass into milk. Therefore, the IgA antibodies in milk can protect the infant from covid-19. Antibodies in milk can be observed in 5-7 days.
Yes, the vaccine is safe to take while breastfeeding. Till now, the viruses haven’t shown transfer in milk. And do not create risk for the mother or the child. Thus, it shows that vaccines aren’t harmful to nursing mothers and their infants. Interestingly, there is evidence that infants comparatively respond better to immunization. But still, we recommend you to go to your health care provider for any questions and experience. Also,is helpful to learn more about immunization while breastfeeding or pregnant.
There is no specific study on the fertility of humans after getting the vaccine dose, and also no evidence of infertility in animals was reported.
Get the vaccine as soon as it’s available.
There are potential benefits for pregnant and breastfeeding women. The studies are continued for the possible side effects of vaccines.
If you are planning for a child, you don’t need to avoid the covid vaccine or vice versa, as no evidence has shown infertility problems after vaccination.
Side effects may occur after taking the second dose. But the good thing is that those are not different from anyone else’s. Hence, there are no specific side effects for pregnant women. In other words, pregnant and non-pregnant both will experience the same side effects or may not show any. If you feel a slight fever after taking the vaccine, take paracetamol.
There is also evidence of allergic reactions after receiving the dose. In that case, consult your doctor for treatment and tell them if you have any history of severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis, or allergy to injections.
Esociety for maternal-fetal Medicine(SMFM),COG) admit that the covid eligible for getting it.
Allergic reactions occur, you should take treatment of it. You can also ask about the benefits of getting a vaccine in detail. Or else if you experience any other symptom or doubt you should ask your doctor without hesitating. Your health is crucial for your child’s health. Hence, advice and suggestions are bad to take.
Can you get vaccinated while breastfeeding? The answer is yes undoubtedly. No studies have shown any evidence of side effects or passing of virus through the milk. Or else if you are planning for a baby, you can take the vaccine. However, the side effects are not different for pregnant or breastfeeding ladies. Consult your doctor for any further doubt or experience before or after taking the vaccination.
As yet, there are no such reports or studies which show that the covid-19 vaccine can be excreted via breastfeeding. But yes, ttransfer to the child via milk. It has been researched. Hence, the covid-19 vaccineyour child too. Take the shot as it’s available.
A large study on covid-19 vaccine safety on pregnant women suggested that the vaccines Moderna and Pfizer are safe to be taken during pregnancy. Although, some mild side effects often occur after taking a vaccine, but are quite endurable. The best part is there are no specific side effects for pregnant ladies. This means they will experience common side effects like mild fever, fatigue, and sometimes nausea. Which are manageable with some rest and medications. Thus, pregnant ladies do not have to worry about their child’s health, as they will passively protect the child via a vaccine.
A large population is getting vaccinated against coronavirus, but still, some percentage of people develop the infection later. Is the vaccine not effective? Of Course not, because vaccines do not give you a guarantee of not getting the infection, but it strengthens your immunity to fight with the encounter of the virus. In other words, we can say that the chances of illness due to coronavirus is more dangerous than getting the infection after the vaccination. Hence, if you are already vaccinated. Your chances of severe impact reduce to some extent.
First of all, wait to fully recover from the illness. Which will take about two weeks or maybe more. You might be diagnosed with covid-19 or symptoms of covid-19. In that case, don’t hurry yourself to get the vaccine, rather isolate yourself and wait for your report to get negative. In case, if you think taking a vaccine during covid-19 will protect you from the infection, there is no idea how your body will respond to this. So, better to be patient and wait for 15-20 days after getting the covid infection.
Still, after getting the vaccine, people are developing covid symptoms and illnesses. According to recent data, 116 million people got covidshield covid-19 vaccine, of these, 17,145 got the infection after getting their first dose of vaccine. while some percentage got infected after receiving a second dose. Thus, covid infection after a vaccine is called a breakthrough infection. Vaccination doesn’t guarantee complete freedom from infection, but it protects you from severe conditions which may occur while dealing with coronavirus.
Vaccine side effects are normal and considered as a good sign, that your body is responding. Covid-19 vaccination may cause you some mild fever, fatigue and last for 2-3 days. It happens due to the response of your immune system. The vaccine we are getting consists of the inactivated virion of coronavirus, which when enters your body is recognized as a foreign particle. Consequently, your body fights with it and causes you these side effects.
No side effects do not mean vaccines are not working. Every person has different types of immunity. Hence, you can’t recognize what’s going inside a person’s body. You may have side effects or maybe not. But it doesn’t show that the vaccine is not working, you don’t know how your immune system is working. So, chill and keep yourself healthy.
In the clinical trials of Pfizer, almost 50% of the participants didn’t show any side effects. However, this can also be seen in people above 65. Due to their low immunity levels or lower levels of antibodies, their bodies might not be able to effectively respond. If you are not getting side effects, you may have acquired immunity against the virus. So, it’s not necessary to bear side effects always. Sex can also be the reason.
We know that the coronavirus is highly transmissible among people through close contact and droplets, there is evidence of transmission of people and animals too. Many animals tested positive for the covid-19 after contact with humans such as dogs, house cats, lions, monks, and tigers. Hence, we need to be careful towards our pets too. Whether the infection can spread or not, precautions should be taken.
With the starting of the coronavirus pandemic last year, we knew that the virus is spreading through contaminated surfaces like doors, knobs, etc. There were guidelines from WHO to disinfect all the surfaces to prevent infection. As yet, multiple studies fromshowed it can be spread mostly airborne and not through surface transmission. Hence, the transmission can happen by inhaling the droplets of an infected person while they talk, cough, or sneeze, called aerosols. The current guidelines of CDC are now suggesting that we should wear masks even at home while talking with someone, or sit close to them. This method can reduce the dangerous spread of infection. |

en | N/A | N/A | History professor explores complex history of African-Americans in the West
By Tom Griffin | Dec. 1999 issue
“W” his student asked.
That retort wasn’t good enough for Taylor’s student, an African American from Oregon. “He challenged me on this,” Taylor recalls. “He told me his own family came to Portland in 1854-that was only a few years after the city was founded. I asked him some more questions. I was so fascinated by this, I thought that maybe there is something to this story.”
That “something” turned out to be Taylor’s lifelong obsession-.
Taylor says blacks and whites today hold the same misconceptions he did when it comes to African Americans in the West: Most are unaware of contributions going back to the 16th century. And this summer’s hit movie Wild Wild West, starring Will Smith as a black Secret Service agent, isn’t much help.
“It does raise people’t,” “in the”
When he began his research at WSU, Taylor found the Pacific Northwest particularly fascinating. From the founding of Seattle and Portland, African Americans were not the largest group among peoples of color-it was Asian Americans. “That changed the racial dynamics,” he says, “It complicated matters.”
During the 1880s and ’9“how free the air is” in th“.” “racial myopia.”, “”
“” Taylor says. In his research on Seattle’s C “nativist”His research into Seattle’s past resulted in a groundbreaking history of Seattle’s Central District, The Forging of a Black Community, published by UW Press in 1994“st,” he notes. “Everyone was reinventing oneself.”
“I der.”
“I don’,” he adds. “It’s just different. It’s not like New York, Chicago or Washington, D.C. Demographics is everything. I would like to suggest that Seattle’s liberalism would not have existed had the African-American community been 10 times as large as it was.”
Taylor is finally living in the city he has studied since the early 1970s. His first encounter with Seattle’s Central District came shortly after his WSU student’s challenge to learn more about blacks in the West. He began to gather oral histories of blacks living in the West and came to do some Seattle interviews.
He gathered 40 to 50 interviews and realized that “this is a story that needs to be told.” Two years later he helped win a quarterduce a five-part “docudrama” about the black experience in the Pacific Northwest.
“,”After the Civil War urban blacks in Memphis gained the right to vote and never lost it. But African Americans in the Brownsville region were disenfranchised at the end of Reconstruction. Since blacks were in the majority in that region, whites forcibly kept them out of the voting booth.
Courts didn’t force integration of the school system until he was graduating from high school in 1965. “Some counselors told me I should repeat my senior year in the white school-that I’d get a better degree, but I wasn’t interested. I wanted to get out of there,” Taylor says.
Taylor was always one of the smartest kids in school-so bright that he jumped a grade level and ended up graduating when he was 16. At an early age he says he was interested in history. “I remember my mother forcing me to sit down to watch the news and discuss what we saw. We talked about issues of race, but we also talked about other things-the Cold War, Sputnik, you name it.”
“If I have learned anything in my study of history, I've learned that you can't reverse time. America will not go back to the 1950s.”h. “Ient.” One of St. Augustine’“I ”
In Minneapolis, Taylor was trained as an urban historian. His mentor, Alan Spear, had done a classic study of black history in Chicago. “We hoped to achieve an understanding of contemporary black urban society by looking at the past,” he says.
But the pull of the West again hit Taylor. After getting his master’s in 1971, there was an opening in Pullman in the Black Studies Program. “Even at that point, I wanted to be in the West. It intrigued me,” he says. Ironically, it was because of his Eastern degree that he was hired. “Talmadge Anderson, the director of the program, was a graduate of St. Augustine’s. I think he hired me primarily because I was one, too.”
Taylor spent four years in the Palouse, and the last one he was on leave making South by Northwest. He then returned to Minneapolis went West again to the, Calif.
“Cal Poly attracted mostly technical types of students. They were very proud of the fact that they never had a demonstration there during the entire Vietnam War,” Taylor says.
“There were many advantages for Washington over Oregon. There are far greater resources here, and I’m not just talking abut the salary. For the first time in my career, I have a more or less permanent research assistant,” he explains.
“Also, there are four specialists who study black history including mbe in a department with other people doing African-American history.”
Ironically Taylor’s decision to come to Washington came just weeks after the state’s voters passed Initiative 200, which dismantlincluding the UW.’ve learned that you can’” |

en | N/A | N/A | It all started with Dave. Dave Avillion that is, who was the drummer in my (short-lived) high school rock band Amethyst. After high school, Dave went to college at Penn State, where he met Ed Zuber, originally from upstate NY. Decades would go by, with Dave eventually moving to Las Vegas. On the occasional trip home to see family, Dave would gather his friends for jams and before long – while I was still living in Bloomsburg – Dave introduced me to Ed and recommended that we stay in touch since Ed was just over the hill in Catawissa.
That was how many years ago? Honestly, I've lost count. What I do know is that Ed Zuber writes fun, upbeat punk/pop with a sense of humor. With each jam session, things got better and better and I've gradually encouraged Ed to think about some serious recording to capture his ideas. As a build up to this we've done some live shows, pulling in Mike Hickey on lead guitar, Urie Kline on drums (for when Dave's not available) and Kurt Smith (so I can focus on engineering). On rare occasions, when the stars align just right, we might have both Dave and Urie swapping out drumming duties.
No hard deadline is set yet, but we've begun fleshing out a set of songs for release – hopefully – later this year. |

en | N/A | N/A | Review of Amy Porterfield’s FB Influence- The Top Course For Building Your Brand with Facebook Marketing
By DeVoyaji on Saturday, April 6th, 2013 | Comments Off
I’ll admit it, this review is biased, but honest. Biased because when you get this system I’ll make a small commission, and honest because the system honestly rocks and I own it myself so I know.
Plus, I’m bribing you to get something that can truly transform your Facebook marketing, and if you don’t like the course refund it and keep all the bonuses,
All right, now the first thing is when I first purchased FB Influence, I thought it would teach me how to create winning ads on Facebook, I was wrong. The ironic thing is FB influence was the first product I promoted on Facebook and I made a sell, even though the campaign was taken down shortly after it started (Facebook has a lot of strict rules about what you can advertise on their advertising platform).
While a small part of the training did deal with Facebook ads, it was mainly about how to brand yourself on Facebook.
I’ve purchased a lot of Facebook marketing materials, and a lot of them are good, but basically go over the same thing; but what Amy Porterfield has here is different, in a good way.
Amy is a very successful social media strategist and has worked for big names such as Harvey Davidson, Tony Robbins, and others. She’s even co authored a book on the subject of Facebook marketing: Facebook Marketing All-in-One For Dummies
Enough blabbing, let me tell you what you’re getting with FB influence:
First of all you have 4 modules that are 5 videos each, That’s 20 videos in all. Each video is cram packed with vital information, and with each and every video you learn more and more about getting the maximum potential of building your brand with Facebook. I will go over the first module in detail, and give a brief overview of the last 3 modules to save time. Then I will give you my personal pros and cons with FB influence, and show you the massive bonus I’m providing anyone that joins through my link.
Module 1 The Foundation For Facebook Success
The 9 core Rules of Facebook Marketing- Here Amy shows tells you the 9 golden rules to begin your success with Facebook, some of the rules just make common sense when you see them.
How to Strategically Brand Your Facebook Time Line Page – In this video Amy shows you several ways to turn your Facebook timeline image into a marketing supercharger. She also shows you what you must avoid doing to stay within Facebook’s terms of service. Having your Page pulled down would suck. She even gives you the exact dimensions your timeline images needs to be as well as shows you examples of real people getting the most out of the marketing space afforded by their timelines. All you have to do is copy and improve.
Creating Custom Applications That Convert- You know those little boxes right underneath your timeline picture? One says “Friends” another says “Photo” and etc?
Did you know you can have 12 of them? And you can make them lead to pretty much whatever you want, and create custom images for them? Amy shows you how, but the one difference I would make is to use FBAPPS NINJA instead of the software she suggests using to install apps, I believe it’ll cost less, and give you a lot more bang for your buck
Insider’s view of your facebook page dashboard-this video shows you how to post as your fanpage, and also a little trick to get around the 5,000 friend limit you have on personal accounts.
Monitoring and Measuring Tools to Track Your FB success: It’s very important to track and measure how well you are performing on facebook. Without goals you have no idea if you are getting close to achieving what you want or not. Here you get to learn about tools that’ll help you perform these tasks.
Module II Growing a Lucrative Fan Base
In this module you’ll learn some of the following things
How to delegate management of your Facebook page to others and free up time for yourself
5 proven strategies to grow your fanbase, and some of them are even outside of Facebook
Not everything you post will automatically get into the news feeds of your fans, Amy shows you exactly what to do to increase the likelihood that what you post will appear in their news feeds.
Module III Creating Massive Engagement
Here Amy teaches you how to connect with your audience through Facebook marketing.
Module IV Turn Fans into SUPER FANS
The teaching Amy gives here will have the fans you’ve built relationships with raving fanatics for your brand. Very high level ninja stuff in this module.
Amy’s videos are straight to the point and very informative
Amy has a lot of experience when it comes to social marketing and here ideas are more advanced than what you’ll get in most marketing material
The training teaches you how to use facebook to increase the level of influence you have in your field.
I believe I’ve found better alternatives to one or two of the resources she recommends
Fb Influence is an awesome product, I think that it’s more tailored towards small business owners. But anyone wishing to have a web presence online will be able to benefit from what is taught in the program. Like I’ve said before when you buy the program through my link I’ll receive a bonus and to thank you for investing in yourself, and helping me too, I’ll be setting up a special bonus only available for people that purchase FB influence through my site.

“We need to imagine a 21st-century, climate-ready version of the Emerald Necklace park system for the waterfront,” writes Reed. “At the same time, we need to act quickly to test integrated resilience and open space solutions on the ground.”
Among his proposed solutions, Reed suggests both hard and soft infrastructures, floodable coastal parks that provide public access to the shoreline while protecting against rising seas, and active waterfront trails around Boston Harbor. Such planning efforts should add up to a bigger whole, Reed argues: a new chain of resilient harbor-front parks and open spaces, he continues, that could “reposition Boston for the 21st century and inspire the public imagination.”
Conscious of the growing threat from stronger and more frequent coastal storms, Reed urges lawmakers to accelerate the review process for resiliency projects already proposed along Boston’s coastline, including suggestions offered in the recent Climate Ready Boston report. Reed also argues for an integrated approach that brings together public, private, and philanthropic interests to tackle this complex problem.
Despite the many alarming predictions facing the waterfront city of Boston, Reed maintains optimism for the city’s future. ,” he writes.

en | N/A | N/A | Interview: Just how accurate were the visions of Edgar Cayce -- "the sleeping prophet'?
In addition to that type of information, there were often statements made by Cayce that have now been verified. One example, is that the Nile River flowed into the Atlantic Ocean. It wasn't until 1986 that images of that area were taken from space that confirmed this statement.
Alison Ray: The book The Outer Limits of Edgar Cayce's Power, written by his sons Hugh Lynn Cayce and Edgar Evans Cayce, reviewed all of the Cayce Readings and determined that 85% were accurate and could be verified. The book is out of print, but I continue to use it for reference. In depth it reviewed the 15% of the readings that were deemed not to be accurate. These included things like finding missing people, tapping oil wells, and searching buried treasure.
The authors found that there were a number of factors that improved the accuracy of the readings including the intention or purpose of the individual asking for the reading, the emotions and attitude of the patient, conductor, those present in the room, and even to some extent the health of Edgar Cayce himself. The book also suggested that the source of the information being given in the reading was also important. In the early readings, the source was the mind of individuals who were asking for a reading and the mind of all souls living or deceased. Sometimes a discarnate spirit or an angel could answer the questions. |

Daniel Kirkeby Wins Top Prize Playing the "Jingle Bell Jackpot" Scratch Game
DES MOINES, Iowa - After not having the best luck on a few scratch games, a Decorah man decided to trye and won a top prize of $30,000.
Daniel Kirkeby, 48, said he could tell he was going to have a winner, but he had no idea just how much he'd won.
"I scratched the first eight numbers and I hit 'em all and I'm going, 'Huh, I'm gonna have a decent winner here,'" Kirkeby said. "And then, got down to the end and got the two bonuses and yeah, it was pretty cool. It was unbelievable, really.
Kirkeby, who is a maintenance supervisor, told his family about his big news first. He waited until his wife, Regina, got home from work to tell her what had happened.
Kirkeby is looking forward to using his winnings to become debt-free. He claimed his prize Dec. 27y. |

en | N/A | N/A | North Dakota May Pass Exemption From 'Burdensome' Laws For People Of Faith
On Tuesday, North Dakota resident make the Christian right's dreams come true.
The proposal, known as Measure 3, would exempt religious individuals and groups from adhering to laws they believe qualify as a violation of their religious liberty,interest in regulating the specific act in question. While opponents say the vaguely worded ballot initiative is unnecessary since Americans supporters say it would restore vital protections that were stripped from people of faith fo.
In the 1990 case, the court ruled the First Amendment protection of religion does not allow a person to break the law in the name of religion. Some faith groups believe that decision could potentially infringe on their religious beliefs, even though opponents argue it's unnecessary because religious freedom has not been threatened in North Dakota. Specifically, Measure 3 would amend Article I of the North Dakota Constitution by adding this provision:
o clarify, federal law already exempts religious believers from some laws that substantially burdenNorth Dakota initiative targets any law that merely burdens a person's faith, an unclear qualification that opponents say could potentially make even minor inconveniences to religious practices suspect. If anything, it would almost certainly clog state courts with lawsuits from religious individuals and groups who believe their faith has been infringed on in some way, according to North Dakotans Against Measure Three.
We're concerned about someone taking advantage of the law and claiming a religious exemption to laws that are meant to protect us all -- like laws against discrimination, laws against child abuse and domestic violence or laws governing employment, said Tom Fiebiger, the chairman of the organization, which consists of a grassroots coalition of religious leaders and medical and legal professionals.
Opponents fear that, if approved, Measure 3 could be used by religious groups to discriminate against what they believe are immoral people or policies. For instance, Measure 3 could even allow health care professionals to refuse vital care to individuals if they believe it infringes on their beliefs, despite the existence of state laws and professional standards of care. That means a pharmacist could refuse to dispense life-saving HIV medication to gay and lesbian patients because of a religious belief that homosexuality is wrong, while a nurse at a publicly funded hospital could theoretically refuse to provide prenatal care to an unmarried pregnant women because of a moral belief that premarital sex violates a religious doctrine.
As North Dakotans Against Measure Three points out, if passed, the initiative could also allow religious groups to argue they have a right to obtain state money for religious purposes and activities. Meaning, they could potentially use taxpayer funds -- paid out by all North Dakotans -- to discriminate against and deny services to certain groups.
Measure May Be Inspired By Contraception Debate
On its website, North Dakota Family Alliance , one of the primary sponsors of the amendment, says Measure 3 is needed because our religious liberty is a treasured freedom on which America was founded and now is being threatened and under attack.
The only law the group gives as an example of such a violation is at statesinclude contraception coverage, without a co-payment or out-of-pocket costs to employees. The mandate sparked a national partisan debateleading to lawsuits from severalFor its part, the website for the measure's other major supporter, the North Dakota Catholic Conference, includes a list of actual laws Measure 3 could guard against. While many of its examples apply solely to religious issues that would not affect the state's secular population, the group also says the amendment is needed to sidestep regulations requiring licensed counselors to provide couples therapy to same-sex couples and to ensure adoption agencies give preference to married -- by that, the group says, they mean heterosexual -- couples.
The North Dakota Catholic Conference also did not return a request for comment.
For his part, Christopher Dodsoold the Jamestown Sun the amendment would be somewhat preventative, because we can't wait for a high-profile issue and somebody's religious freedom to be infringed on before acting.
However, Dodson did not provide a case or incident in which Measure 3 has been needed.
Jim Vukelic, a former North Dakota district judge and prosecutor who opposes the amendment, told the newspaper that even the famouslruling opinion in the Smith decision, noted that religious people and groups must adhere to most civil laws.
In that decision, Scalia wrote:Religion On The Ballot in 2012
At least 15 states have enacted their own laws resembl like the federal law, those also specify religious groups must demonstrate that laws they oppose qualify as a substantial burden to their faith.
Some of those states have included provisions that intend to ensure the lawIn Texas, the legislation prevents exemptions to laws that protect the civil rights of all state residents, while Pennsylvania's law prevents exemptions that could compromise public health and safety.
Aside from North Dakota, three other states may vote on constitutional amendments regarding religion. Colorado's Religious Freedom Amendment, which supporters are still collecting signatures for, would mandate that the government cannot exclude expressions of religious belief from public places. Meanwhile, Florida's Amendment 8, which will appear on the Nov. 6, 2012, ballot, would prevent the government from barring public funds to religious organizations, while Missouri's Public Prayer Amendment would guarantee the right to pray and worship on public property. |

en | N/A | N/A | Okay so Son calls me this morning because for reasons that are solid but will bite him in the backside if he does it, he wants to deposition parents of my grandson's friends...parents who ex has trashed him to so badly that grandson wasn't allowed to even talk to the kids when he was in son's custody. She's starting again. She has a strong personality so others tend not to want to get on her bad side. Often they believe her.
I get his anger but think deposotioning parents will tick them off and keep their kids away from him again for THAT reason and that ex will keep doing it anyway.
He feels she needs to be punished by the courts to stop doing it and other similar things. I don't think she'll stop unless in jail, which won't happen. I don't think his lawyer even wants to go there. His lawyer has acted disinterested in the case of late. And I don't want my son to suffer, but I am all tired out myself. I want to offer emotional support, but it never works. Well rarely.
My son is the only stressor I still have in an otherwise peaceful, happy life. But he is a big one. So he didn't like something I said. The screaming began and I knew the names and abuse were starting so I said good bye quietly and disconnected call. I felt a little guilty. Not sure why. Maybe because son truly believes he is right and, even when he asks for input, I should know better than to give any. Obviously his thinking is abnormal in my opinion.
I am going to Chicago with Jumper today to have our first Thanksgiving with Princess and granddaughter. My stomach is rumbling, the way only these adult kids can upset us.
I texted him that I'm done with the case, that I love him but this was between him and his lawyer. He never texts so I'm safe from a reply. I'm not answering his calls all weekend and maybe longer. I am so tired of 40 years of either being ignored or, since the divorce, being abused. I have three other kids showing me exactly what a normal, loving parent/child relationship is like. I can't say I don't know.
Son and I dont have a normal relationship. We never will.
It is sad to acknowledge this but I am on a spiritual journey...and I don't know how to be kind to him, like I want to be and find it so easy to be with others, even those others i once struggled with. He is the my one person where kindness and humility and self love wont work.
Thanks for a place to vent. Need to ask my God, angels, spirit guide for more wisdom. I can't figure him out on my own. I dont want to cut him off completely. But I need to cut contact to low. This is nuts.
Really, I expect he's not disinterested as just tired of your son. He has other cases. He can only do so much and he's probably at a lull in son's case so he's using the time to work on the others.
Good job. I listen to a lot of screaming from mine...but never personal abuse. Bravo for stopping it before it started.
Have a WONDERFUL holiday with Princess and Jumper and the little one! Let them soothe your battered spirit.
I agree with you about lawyer.
We all have our cross to bear in life, and he is yours. I agree. Cut him off at the pass. Do not tolerate any yelling, name calling etc. That is plain ridiculous. Do NOT feel guilty one little bit.
It probably hurts me more to reject his calls than it hurts him. It seems...he has no heart. I do t know why. He was always deeply loved but he lacked compassion from his toddler days. I think he was born this way and nothing I did ever helped him. I see this in my father too. I think he inherited it.
I would love a life without stress but even I can not have that so I manage my life so I have just enough stress that it does not cross a certain limit.
You did said a couple of times you would not give up on him but you can limit the stress he gives you below the limit or at worst at the limit.
For example you do not like him talking about his problems and himself so much but is it below the limit for the stress he gives you?
I gave up on him changing. I don't see it. He has always been this way. It's in his makeup.
No, it doesn't impact my days or life for long after its over. He lives far away and that helps. And he has a high paying job, a house, a nice car...i do t have to worry he will be homeless which would be a huge stress. Drugs aren't an issue. Im.just sorry that he has no friends And is so unhappy and angry. And I would like to want to visit him but I don't.
I was far more stressed when he was young and strong and cornered me. But there is still stress and sadness that he is so abusive...that he is like he is.
Oh I do not mean changing him I mean keeping the stress that he gives to you to a limit. More like accepting a certain level of stress and sadness from him.
That kinda sounds sad saying it but that is my point. Make a limit on how much you can take and then you stop like you did now. He is not gonna cut contact with you its not the first time you did this I think and he still kept contact.
You did the right thing, SWOT. You would have told us to do the same. Funny that your son called at about the same time that my daughter did (her last email rant was toxic and abusive) today. She's upset because she thinks I've been "talking to people, telling them what country she's in." After I affirmed that I have spoken to no one, she wanted to start in using the same jargon that her email started with and I knew the abuse was about to start. I told her I needed to get back to work, said goodbye and hung up. She called back again (telling me not to hang up). I repeated my mantra. No further calls.
I wish my daughter could be honest, caring and happy. I feel the same stress and sadness as you do and at other times I get really angry. I don't think it ever truly goes away. But I'm working on that - hopefully our journeys lead to the same place.
I don't get angry anymore. But I don't expect him to change either. I have no hope of that. He is this way and it hurts him more than anyone else and he doesn't see himself as ever wrong.
I mostly focus on myself now and my loved ones who are capable of love. He is so self absorbed that nobody else's life matters.
I hope you are doing okay. Both of us need to stop answering the phone so much.
Thanks, SWOT! Yes, that is for sure! We both need to go on a phone diet!
I have already asked our director at work about having my work phone number changed. They are very supportive. We're going to have our landline number changed next week. We had already changed our cell phone numbers when she abused that privilege a couple of years ago.
I'm focusing also on myself and loved ones (related and friends) who are able to have a loving/friendly relationship without constant demands.
That's so funny and true!
He reaches for you to make him feel better. When you don't, he becomes abusive because the drug isn't working.
I don't feel he has any use for you other than this. You yourself said you rarely heard from him before the divorce.
Perhaps it is time to quit being his dealer entirely?
Totally feeling you, SWOT! Difficult Child just called asking for money (dad sent him $15 on Thursday, I sent him $20 on Friday) and when I didn't cave, the whole slanging match started.
Dredging up all manner of things-it's my fault that he did/didn't do something, when was the last time I was there for him on his birthday, Please ma, don't make me steal, you and dad both left me, I will die if I'm out here much longer ... (this is the man who had a rehab lined up last Saturday and chose to leave it.) Got in a fight with someone "Ma if you could see my face right now, you'd know how much I need help". No son, I'm NOT sending you money.
Hung up on me twice, then called again (why did I answer?) to turn the screws. I gave it back to him with both barrels and now I just feel drained. Guilty, wrong, heartless. Kind of the way I think you may be feeling too, SWOT, though I don't want to presume.
Sometimes I feel like picking up the phone and listening unless it gets bad is the least I can do for my own son.
Gn, I would never 100% cut off a child. I can and have gone low contact but I feel total no contact is overkill for this situation...
To others. He called me twicewbile I was in Chicago. I didn't answer while visiting my daughter but.. He can be vile one day and call and soy d like both I g happened the next.
Low contact might be a good idea in general. I wish he would see a psychiatrist and therapist. I think he could benefit both from therapy and the right medications.
The thing is, I don't think you're really helping him more than a momentary "fix". He's really torturing himself, and now his ideas on how to handle this ongoing mess are getting ridiculous. The fact that his lawyer is avoiding him speaks volumes.
What it sounds like is that he's unwilling/unable to settle for anything other than full custody, with his ex-wife having no contact, and that just isn't going to happen. The fact that he got custodial custody is fairly amazing.
And yet, when it comes down to it, it's really all about him. I do wonder how he's going to react when his son starts to become an independent person and has ideas and beliefs that don't go along with dad's.
SWOT, just catching up here and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving on Friday!
This really jumped out at me. Think about it. 40 years of having a behavior you can count on, that always wrings you out. When is enough enough?
I love that you hang up when he really starts in. That is a great boundary and I know you use it a lot. Kudos!
I am on a spiritual journey..
Yes you are. You have really learned so much in your life about what is important. You have taught all of us on this forum so much. Thank you.
I get this. He is your son and you want to at least listen...when perhaps no one else will? Even the lawyer is tired. Can you imagine how your son wears him/her out as well?
I wonder if he didn't have his son to harangue about...would it be something else? With some people, it's always something.
I understand that you don't want to cut off contact. I wouldn't either. But can you expand the boundaries you've set, so that you only answer the phone once every...say...three times? Four times that he calls? Or start with every other time he calls. In other words, create more time, space, distance for yourself. Also, only answer it when you're rested and have time. Another boundary could be saying, when you do pick up the phone, Hey Son, I'm glad to hear from you. Just to let you know I only have five minutes as _________ and I'm going to be tied up. So what's up? Set a timer if you have to. In 5 minutes, get off the phone. No matter what he is saying.
I used to try some of these "tricks" with Difficult Child. They worked. They worked because I would write them down on a piece of paper and stare at that paper during the call. It worked for me because I had contact with him, but on my terms. If I could stick to my own "rules," I could protect myself much better from his bs, AND I was still having that contact that I wanted to have. Our relationship was finally on my terms.
You know SWOT, you are never going to able to satisfy him, in terms of his endless going on about issues. It's always something. Trying to reason and help doesn't work. So...it's just the contact that you want. Have it on your terms for once.
Maybe that 40-year drought will come to an end.
GM, it is actually sons ex that tries to cut him out. Always. She moved far away to get him into her school district an hour away. Son fought for son to stay in current school and it's a pretty easy win for him, but she is actually worse than he is and not even nice to my grandson. For example she forced my gentle, shy grandson into activities such as hunting and makes him stay outside alone in the back yard by himself for hours on end because "it's not my fault if you have no friends. Go make some or stand outside alone." She is angry that all his friends are at the school he goes to and wants to prove in court that he has many friends in her area too. But he doesn't and is too timid to rush up to unfamiliar kids. Since he doesn't go to school with him, the other kids ignore him or ask him to stop looking at them.
As for the hunting, he cried and refused to touch a weapon. He told my don he can't hurt an animal and doesn't want to hunt. He told me too. But my son can't tell her what to do with him on her time and it's not considered abuse or against the law. My grandson is crazy about my son. My son is truly and to him. He is the only person that don treats with pure love.
I think son is doing the right thing by fighting for my grandson to stay on the school he has always gone to. Thst us all he is asking for, not additional custody. Missouri is s 50\50 State and he has never tried to get more than that. She has. Not him.
COM, you are so right. 40 years because he has always been this way. Fortunately he can't leave Missouri because he'd never leave his son so hei is only annoying (very) by phone and I don't always answer it. I also work a lot and can't have my phone on me and often I just tell him I was at work if I didn't want to talk.I get off these days as soon as the abuse starts too.
I don't expect him to change. He refuses to get help. Has s million excuses. I'm not a psychiatrist. I can't do anything.
I so look forward to RVing. I am normally so busy that none of my kids can get me often, even the ones I love to hear from. RVing will make it even easier to seriously pull out of his life ad I can say I was at a dead spot.
But this middle age man will not have me around forever. He needs to learn other ways to blow off steam other than telling me. I also can't wait to live the rest of my life and refuse to let him ruin my travels.
COM, you are so wise and so kind. GM, thst you do much for caring. Love to both. |

Later in the day, Kapler made a much bigger statement, by telling reporters he no longer planeach baseball game.

Then you land, you go through the bureaucracy that gets you into a country and you step out into the new world. You grab a taxi to a hotel, any hotel, usually in the cheap quarter, every city has one.
And then the cabbie starts speaking a language, but not the one you expect. You think you were meant to land in Delhi, so why is the taxi-driver speaking Japanese? This kind of confusion after a long flight is rare. It takes such defined and specific inputs to generate it.

en | N/A | N/A | Grant Shapps, Mark Prisk, Kris Hopkins… Brandon Lewis? Then I think it was Gavin Barwell. Maybe Alok Sharma as well? Definitely Dominic Raab, and then finally Kit Malthouse.
Trawling through the (lengthy) list of housing ministers since the Tories came to power in 2010 is uncannily reminiscient of trying to digest Saturday night's escapades in Heaven after a heavy Pride. Who were they all? How long did they stick around? Did any of them have a meaningful impact?
While the list of Shapps (May 2010 – September 2012), Prisk (September 2012 – October 2013), Hopkins (October 2013 – July 2014), Lewis (July 2014 – July 2016), Barwell (July 2016 – June 2017), Sharma (June 2017 – January 2018), Raab (January 2018 – July 2018) and Malthouse (July 2018 – ?) may make for amusing reading, it goes to show that Conservative attempts to solve the housing crisis – such as rebrandings are little more than window dressing.
Housing is a crucial challenge for government: the number of homeless people has risen in England for the seventh year running; the average house price stands at at least 7.6 times the annual salary – more than double what it was 20 years ago – a typical deposit in London is now over £80,000; millennials are now, and most experts agree England now needs to build around 300,000 new homes a year. But even that may not stem the unaffordability tide.
When the scale of the problem is so monumental, the housing job in government needs to be more than just a waiting room for promotion. Changing the guard so frequently is not just making a mockery of the issue, it is an outrage. This has got to be done with an eye on the next ten, twenty, and thirty years – not merely with an eye on when the next cabinet grandpa will move over to give Shifty and Sinister a go at the big time.
That is much of the problem with yesterday's farce of government jump-shippery. Between Boris Johnson, David Davis, Steve Baker, and some parliamentary private secretary or other – not to mention the departures of Michael Fallon (defence, November 2017), Priti Patel (international development, a week later), Damian Green (cabinet office, December 2017), Justine Greening (education, January) and Amber Rudd (April, home) – this stuff matters, and it needs a government with a little more sticking power.
David Davis' departure is yet another spanner in the works of a negotiating process that looks increasingly like a bad remake of Oliver Twist asking please sir, may I have some more. Only this time we are lacking the heartwarming David-versus-Goliath, triumph-of-the-little-guy symbology we seem to mistakenly codify as part of our national mythology. We are just a sad, small body asking for the unearned benevolence of a bigger one.
To be fair though it is unlikely to make much difference. Davis has only managed about four hours of actual face-to-face negotiation time with his European counterpart, Michel Barnier so far, and if Love Island has any significant lessons for the Brexit process it is that you need a lot longer to develop a deep and special partnership, even if you want to crack on with someone else for better (trade) deal.
On the international stage, too, this turbulence does us no good. How many other countries treat the role of their chief international emissary so lightly? Perhaps it is a flaw in our increasingly presidential system, in which foreign affairs are treated as the intellectual domain of the prime minister while the foreign secretary merely serves as the errand boy (or, shamefully only once in our history, girl), but the fact remains: diplomacy relies on relationships, naturally built up, developed and supported over time.
While admittedly, the most Boris knows about meaningful relationships may be the one he has with the photographer hired to take insta-ready shots of him signing his resignation letter – steely and determined for the Telegraph, pensive and pale for the Express – sending in someone new to bat for Britain is unwise when our ability to sustain friendships with our international partners is already a bit of a sticky wicket.
Similarly, Matt Hancock leaves his job after only eight months (another that has been a revolving door, with eight incumbents since 2010) with not much to show for it beyond a self-promoting app and a chunky tranche of memes (maybe the rethe Matt Hancocks we made along the way).
Meanwhile, of course, the pressing questions Leveson 2 would have raised of a problematic and largely unreformed media are still going unasked. Elsewhere in the brief, the crippling effect a hard Brexit for services (the endgame of the Chequers 'deal') would have on our world-leading creative industries, one that on average generates £5 in taxes for every £1 invested in subsidy, a better return than the automotive, oil, gas, aerospace and life science industries combined, remains a cause without a champion. On perhaps the most basic level, there is still the fact that we are out here claiming to be a hip, cool, modern, functioning, with-it, on-trend nation (or #Uber-riding, #insta-using, #Deliveroo-eating megalopolis as the performance artwork that is Liz Truss' instagram account would put it) while average broadband speeds in the United Kingdom are well below those of most of Europe, and over a million of us still don't have internet fast enough to stream anything that might normally fill the void of a Sunday evening.
Meanwhile, we lose perhaps one instance of longevity in the job almost starting to do some good. Jeremy Hunt, having sprung from the ludicrous starting gun of wanting an insurance-based, mostly-private healthcare system in 2005, has not only grown to the point of seemingly shutting up about the so-called seven day national health service – a nonsense founded on shoddy data, pithy soundbites and a sadistic urge to further overwork the health service's already overstretched staff but has also, it would seem, realised that doing national healthcare on the cheap for an ageing population in the midst of astonishing but expensive new drugs and techniques, is not going to work.
Maybe if he had stayed a little longer, his immersion in the subject matter and its inevitable IV drip of realpolitik may have led to the realisation that the £20bn he, to his credit, fought for is not so much the operation that heals the patient but the first bandage applied in the back of the ambulance.
David Cameron was right, too, in that chef's-kiss-ageing tweet from 2015 – 'stability and strong government' is something that appeals. Theresa May was also right. The British people (particularly but not exclusively Brenda from Bristol) cravre we really reaching for the stars by asking for someone – anyone – to offer some? |

en | N/A | N/A | This is the ninth of a 10-part weekly series of previews of each full-time team slated to compete in the 2021 NTT IndyCar Series. Each preview will give an overview of all drivers currently signed to drive for the team, recap the team’s 2020 results, describe what’s new for the team in 2021 and provide an outlook for the team’s performance this season.
Today’s preview features Rahal Letterman Lanigan Racing - the defending Indy 500 champions. Tunday at Barber Motorsports Park.
2020 recap: For the sixth straight season, RLL was a winner in IndyCar competition. The team won the Indy 500 for the second time in its history, as Takuma Sato won the famed race for the second time of his career. While Sato’s win at the Brickyard was the organization’s lone victory in 2020, the team remained competitive all season long. Rahal nearly won the second race of the season at the IMS road course, and also picked up two more podiums at Iowa and the Indy 500. He finished a respective sixth in the overall point standings, while Sato finished seventh overall.
What's new for 2021: Both Sato and Rahal return to their respective entries, while Santino Ferrucci - who is racing in NASCAR’s Xfinity Series this year - joins the team for the Indy 500. Veteran race engineer Matthew Greasly joins the team as Sato’s engineer.
Season Outlook: RLL has been the “best of the rest” for the last few seasons, often being the only team besides Penske, Ganassi and Andretti to reach Victory Lane. With Sato seeming to only get better with age and Rahal coming close to Victory Lane last season, both drivers could very well collect wins this year. The team has another great shot to win Indy this year, as with the addition of Ferucci, RLL now has the first, third and fourth-place finishers in last year’s Greatest Spectacle in Racing in their stable.
Driver Quotes: “Just really excited to be back into the car. The new season is very exciting. Obviously last year, with the worldwide situation, we were so restricted. Hopefully, we have more fans engaging this year, we see more fans everywhere we go, and we return to some of the tracks we missed last year, like Barber Motorsports Park. We left there with a very good memory back in 2019 (Sato won the race). So very exciting.
“You look at where (IndyCar) is today and just how deep the field is, and it's impressive. Maybe everybody wants to say the golden era of IndyCar racing was in the early '90s - or in Champ Car - may have been the late '90s, early 2000s. But I've got to be honest, from a talent pool perspective, the golden era is right now. W
“For sure there's going to be times that guys go out there and they're going to perform great and we're going to be like, ‘Oh, yeah, they're awesome’, and then next weekend like us in Gateway, you may just completely suck, and it shouldn't be a surprise because you cannot miss a step. |
en | N/A | N/A | This Baby Had Major Surgery While Still In The Womb & The Results Will Bring You To Tears
In what sounds like a complicated plot line straight out of Grey's Anatomy, doctors in Canada. Of course, not just any baby — one that was still in the womb. It's pretty amazing.
Doctors recently told Kristine Barry of Ontario that her baby had transposition of the great arteries. TGA, as its called, is a congenital heart disease that switches the pulmonary and aorta arteries, making it hard for blood to flow through the body properly. Normally, doctors perform open heart surgery on a baby with TGA within a week after birth, but baby Sebastian had even crazier complications. All of the walls in his little heart were closed, which meant that oxygen wasn't going to pass through his body at all, leading to possible brain and organ damage within minutes after birth at best. In the worst case, he would have died.
But Drs. Edgar Jaeggi, Rajiv Chaturvedi, and Greg Ryan told Barry, 25, and her husband, Christopher Havill, 27, that they had a plan. They would perform what is likely the first "balloon atrial septoplasty" ever done on a child still in the womb.
Here's what they did: The doctors inserted a needle into Barry’s uterus and straight into baby Sebastian's heart, blowing up a teeny tiny balloon that made a hole about 3.5 millimeters wide to let the blood and oxygen flow through his heart until they could get to him after birth.
Are you crying yet? Don't worry: it worked.
While they inserted the balloon, there were about 30 members of the surgical staff in the room, along with a doctor ready to perform an early C-section in case things went wrong. Nothing did. The operating room reportedly broke into applause as the team finished up.
Days after the surgery, the medical team induced Barry's labor and she gave birth to little Sebastian just 10 minutes later. Barry said, "He came out pink and screaming, and I was just in shock. I didn’t believe that was what was going to happen." Before the needle insertion, she said she was totally preparing for it not to work, assuming that he would be delivered "blue and not vocal," as the doctors had warned could happen. Luckily, that wasn't the case. A week after his birth, he had the semi-routine TGA open heart surgery to switch his major arteries around.
Basically, Barry and her husband took a huge chance on making sure their infant would make it. All of this happened back in May. Two months later, little Sebastian is doing just fine. Like, really fine. He went home a week after the open heart surgery and has been keeping his parents up just like any other newborn does.
Barry and Havill will have to take Sebastian to the hospital to get neurology checkups at all the important milestones, but as of right this minute, he's expected to do just fine. In the worst case scenario, Sebastian will have to do some developmental exercises at home to work on movement or speech. But for now, the family and the doctors are optimistic. Barry said, "They want us to let him be a kid and run around and get his blood pumping and his heart working really well. They don’t want us bubble-wrapping him and being too protective."
Sebastian's medical journey is groundbreaking and a testament to great science and doctors willing to take a chance. But the fact that Barry and Havill will be able to raise their son without too many complications is the greatest news of all. |
en | N/A | N/A | 5. What is the value of the following Scheme expression?: (+ (/ 1 2) (/ 1 3)) 6. Suppose you have a test string called test-string (e.g. (define test-string "testing")). Assuming test-string has at least 2 characters, what is the expression that produces a string with all but the first and last characters?
7. What function tests the equality of two strings? What's the easiest way to test case-insensitive equality of strings? 8. What functions convert numbers to strings and strings to numbers?
2. Given (define l (list '(a b c) '(d e f) '(g h i))), how would you access each of symbols 'c through 'i in l? For example, 'b is accessed by (car (cdr (car l))) or the abbreviated form (cadar l). 3. As in 2, demonstrate access for each of the symbols of this complex structure: (define s '(((a b) (c . d)) ((e . f) . (g h))))
4. What were the more intuitive names for car and cdr and why were they more sensible? 5. What is the pair notation expression '((a . (b . ())) . (c . ())) equivalent in list notation?
7. Define a function make-polynomial that takes a, b, and c as input and returns an unnamed function which takes x as input and evaluates a*x*x + b*x + c. 8. Define polynomial2 to be the same function as in (6), but create the function using make-polynomial of (7). Use map to apply polynomial2 to the list '(-2 -1 0 1 2).
1. Assuming that the arguments after the if condition do not evaluate to
#f, define a function my-if that behaves like if, but is defined in terms of or and and. Test my-if with the following expressions: (my-if #t 'first 'second)
10. Define a function digit-case that takes an non-negative integer and uses a case statement to return either 'even-digit, 'odd-digit, or 'not-a-single-digit accordingly.
Use map to test digit-case on the list '(<DIGITS>).
So far, we've introduced global variables with "define", and local variables with the lambda argument list. We haven't yet shown how to introduce local variables that aren't procedural arguments. There are three forms for doing so: "let", "let*", "letrec".
(<varN> <binding-expressionN>))
<local-expression>)
The binding expressions are all evaluated together in the surrounding outer variable context. Then they are assigned in some unspecified order to the local variables. The local expression is then evaluated with respect to the new local variable environment. It's helpful to think of the new local environment being built on top of the outer variable environment. If one of the local variable has the same name as a variable in the surrounding environment, it shadows the outer variable. Shadowing occurs in Java as well. Local variables and parameter variables shadow field variables. In many languages, locality determines scope priority.Here are some examples:
"let" is more natural if you're only referring to the outer variable context. "let*" is more natural if there are non-circular dependencies between variables such that they can be bound in sequence. But what if the variables are defined in terms of one another? In Scheme, you can recursively define variables using "letrec".
Here's an example (based on a R5RS example) in which two variables holding procedures are defined according to one another:
(even? 42))
> (append '(a b c) '(d e f))
"list-ref" and "list-tail" can be used to access list elements or tail sublists by index. "memv" can be used to check list membership. |

Clark-Pleasant school board members adjourned a regularly scheduled meeting Tuesday after just two minutes, but things didn’t end there.
The school board voted to end the meeting after about half of the estimated 40 attendees refused to wear masks, despite a district-wide mask mandate. But for about an hour after the meeting ended, a majority of the school board and the superintendent had a spirited back-and-forth with parents and community members about the mask mandate, unintentionally violating the state’s open door law, which says government agencies must hold meetings of a majority of their governing body publicly. Citizens have the right to attend and record the meetings.
“Absolutely not,” Zike said. “I understand what the open door policy is. … There were no votes taken, and in reality, it was just the public giving us their input without us having anything to do other than filling them in with information.”
Because a majority of the five-member board remained in the room and exchanged information with the public, the conversation met the criteria for a meeting, and since public meetings require 48 hours public notice, the school board violated the lawthe Daily Journal is a member of.
“They couldn’t do that. It was the spur of the moment. It technically would be a violation of open door law. It sounds unintentional, but they created a second meeting without any notice,” Key said.
If, during the next meeting, the school board directly votes on something that was brought up during the post-meeting conversation, the vote could be declared null and void, though the school board can circumvent that by having a new conversation about it with public comment before the vote, he said.
Despite the regularly scheduled meeting being cut short, the school board was able to vote on all timely agenda items, and will push the rest of the items to the next meeting set for Oct. 26, Superintendent Patrick Spray said in an email.
The district’s mask mandate took effect Sept. 7 at all buildings, and meeting attendees passed signs on the front doors of the administration building alerting them of the mask mandate before the meeting. Spray reminded attendees of the mandate as the meeting started, but several remained maskless.
“It was unfortunate that not all of those in attendance at the September school board meeting were willing to adhere to this request. Because of this, board members moved to end the meeting not long after it started. As a reminder, community members can live stream the board meeting on a digital device, but those attending in person must wear a mask at this time,” Spray said in a statement.
“Masks will continue to be required until at least the end of September,” Spray said in an email. “At that time, we will look at our COVID-19 stats and, with, we will reevaluate where we need to be to protect our students, teachers and staff.”

en | N/A | N/A | If you have boys who like sea, ships, pirates or ocean things a lot, then you can build nautical bedroom ideas for your boys. Then, here are some steps for building it. First, focus on the furniture and for this, it is good if you apply the simple and natural colors that give bright and spacious look like white or creams or browns. It is good if you tend to make it simple and not too much.
Second, focus on the wall treatments. It is never wrong for transforming or remodeling a room with wallpapers. Nautical room decor is really strong with nautical themed wallpapers like sailor, hook, pirates, ocean, and seas with the cool and dazzling navy blue colors or the bright blue colors to add the fresh look plus strengthen the nautical style.
Third, focus on the accessories with motifs, designs and patterns of nautical themes. Nautical bedroom ideas are fine with the anchor shaped wall decors, then furniture like bed and drawers with ocean or sea themes, beddings with stripes or blue and white, bedside table lamp with fabric fade, comfortable and soft feather rugs, simple blue armchairs, ship shaped bed, or other accessories which you can use for creating a nautical theme. |
en | N/A | N/A | In the age of blogs and social media postings, diaries still have a loyal following. They allow you to be completely honest, secure in privacy, and able to keep your writings forever. To write a diary, you'll need to decide the type of diary you want -- think size, security, and frequency of writings -- then write entries that are honest, detailed, and authentically you. Don't stress too much about the actual content; simply write about whatever you feel is important for the best experience.
Making Decisions about Your DiaryEdit
Consider your diary requirements. The type of diary you choose depends on your writing style, personal preferences, and other factors. Take some time to consider diary type before purchasing a diary.
Take your handwriting into consideration. How big do you usually write? If you have small, neat handwriting a diary with smaller margins and line spaces might be ideal. If your handwriting tends to be bigger and messier, opt for a diary with larger margins. You could even choose a diary with white pages and no lines--this is especially good if you like to sketch alongside your writings.
Do you plan on carrying your diary with you? Many people like to have a diary or notebook on their person at all times to write down day-to-day observations. If that's your plan, consider purchasing a pocket-sized or small diary that can easily fit in a purse or tote bag.
If you live with other people and want privacy, consider a diary with a lock. However, keep in mind diary locks are sometimes flimsy and easily broken.
There are websites that allow you to keep a diary online. One benefit to this is that it takes up less space and many people feel more comfortable typing than writing by hand. However, privacy is an issue. Even if your site is password protected, your privacy is never 100% secure online. Someone might stumble on your diary online and gain access to your personal information.
Decide where to store your diary. If you want to keep your diary private, find a discreet place to store it in your home. Consider hiding it under your mattress, under your clothes in a dresser drawer, or any other place where people are unlikely to poke around. If you're not worried about privacy, keep your diary in an easy-to-reach place close to your desk, bed, or wherever you plan on writing.
Consider how you'll mark entries. There are various manners you can mark entries in a diary. Some people enjoy dating their entries so they'll remember the rough timeframe when rereading their works. Other people prefer short titles to each entry. Be creative and have fun. Use whatever method feels right for you.[1]
Some people use signatures to mark entries. If you enjoy leaving a signature, feel free to do so. However, privacy may be an issue. If your diary is accidentally lost, the words will be linked to you. If you're recording particularly private thoughts, you may not want this. Consider initials instead.
Be honest. Diaries can be cognitively beneficial. A study at University of California showed that writing about feelings honestly helps the brain regulate emotion.[2] As you write your diary, try to be as honest as possible in your entries. This is good for your emotional well-being.
Many people find diary writing cathartic because they can let go of inhibitions on the page and truly be themselves. Feel free to record your emotions, both positive and negative, in their entirety in your diary.[3]
Let go of worries about the quality of your writing. Your diary is a safe space for you to vent and share without the pressures of external judgment. Try to take a few minutes at the beginning of each entry to simply free write. That is, write quickly and without inhibition. Jot down the first things that come to mind when considering your day, current mood, and any feelings you're struggling with.[4]
Many people have epiphanies about themselves and their relationships through honest diary writing. Be open to learning about yourself as you write.[5]
Decide what to write about. There are many different types of diaries. Some people use diaries to record daily events. Others use them to chronicle dreams. If you're working towards a goal, like losing weight or completing a creative project, a diary can be a great means to discuss your feelings and progress. Some people record a mix of different things in their diary. It's up to you what you feel is important to record.
Use lots of details. Diaries are also important as they preserve moments in their immediate aftermath. Memory is fickle and precise details of an event tend to blur with time. Use details in your diary entries to try to preserve the moment.[6]
Think about your past before you begin writing in your diary. What do you wish you remembered? Do you wish you had better memories of your grandmother's laugh? Do you wish you took greater time to commit to memory the smell of your childhood bedroom on Thanksgiving morning as your mother fixed breakfast? Use these longings as a guide in your diary. Record, in detail, those moments that feel precious to you and that you'll long to recall later on.[7]
You should be as honest in your descriptions as you are in your venting. You want your diary to preserve your memories and perspective of an event. Do not talk about how your girlfriend's hair "shone brighter than the Northern Lights" if you've never witnessed the northern lights. Talk about things in terms that make sense to you. For example, you could say your girlfriend's hair "glistened like sun reflecting off the headlights of a car mid-afternoon." While perhaps a less romantic comparison, it's authentically yours.[8]
Maintain a schedule. Many people struggle to find the time to write a diary entry each day. If you're interested in maintaining a diary, try to stick to something of a schedule.
Write in your diary around the same time each day. This way, writing in your diary will become as much a part of your schedule as brushing your teeth at night or showering in the morning.[9]
Do not set a schedule you do not think you can keep. If you don't reasonably think you'll be able to write in your diary every night, don't commit yourself to doing so. Instead, choose a more lax schedule. Plan on writing an entry 3 times a week instead.
Pick a time to write where you do not have other obligations or external time constraints.
Write short entries when you're pressed for time. Everyone gets busy from time-to-time. If you're in a rush, just write a shorter entry. Jot down the bare minimum of your feelings and thoughts. Get out whatever feels most pressing and immediate. You can always record more about an event later in the week when you have time. Simply try to get out the basic details before you forget.[10]
Add illustrations. If you want make your diary more personal, consider adding illustrations. This can be a fun way to make your diary more personal.
Some people having a particular illustration or type of illustration on each page. For example, if you have a cat you're attached to you could draw a small sketch of your cat at the bottom of each page. If you want to get more detailed, consider drawing the cat different based on seasons. In the summer, he could be wearing sunglasses. He could be sledding in the winter.[11]
You could also include illustrations of some the material you're writing about. You could add a small sketch at the end of the entry or sketch in the margins. Draw pictures of the people you saw that day, the food you ate, the movies you watched, really anything memorable.[12]
Alter the cover. Some diaries come with decorative covers, but some are plain. If your cover is simply dull, you might want to add decoration. You can write your name in colorful, fun lettering. You can add stickers or glue on cut outs from magazines or newspapers. You can draw on the cover with colored pencils or markers. Have fun and be creative.
Buy a personalized journal. You can purchase personalized journals online if you don't feel comfortable crafting yourself. You can usually choose from a handful of illustrations or templates and can add things like your name and address to the inside cover. Some journals, usually marketed towards a younger audience, may include writing prompts and fill in the blank pages inside.
Do not go overboard. Remember, it's a diary and not a scrapbook. It can be fun to add mementos like concert tickets, photographs, and brochures from places you've visited. However, adding too much can make your diary look like a scrapbook. A diary should be primarily used for writing rather than collaging.
What is the best way to start a diary entry?
You could say, "Dear Diary", "Today was ____ (horrible, awesome, embarrassing, etc.)" Or just start by writing about the most interesting thing that happened today. Be creative; there are no rules you have to follow.
Must I be honest with myself when I write my feelings?
Being honest with yourself and writing about your feelings will help most of the time. If you are feeling very frustrated, angry, sad or anything else and you can't talk with anyone about it, writing it in a diary can relieve it a bit. Being honest with yourself is a good way to learn more about how you think and react, which can help you to learn how to manage your feelings well.
As long as it is just you reading it, it really doesn't matter at all. This is your place to write, no one else's.
Can writing in a diary help improve your grammar?
If you reread your past entries, checking for grammar, then, yes, it can help a lot, assuming you catch your bad grammar. Learning from mistakes is the quickest way to learn.
Where would be the best place to hide my diary?
You could hide it in your room if you don't share one, but it depends on what furniture you have. If you have younger siblings, hide it somewhere high where they can't reach it. If you have older siblings, put it somewhere locked and keep the keys somewhere really secret, or you can put the key on a necklace and wear it all the time. They'll never be able to get it!
What if you want to start a diary but can't commit to it?
Diaries aren't chores. They're fun, and they're hobbies. If you want to start one, start it, but don't feel forced to write every day. Write when you want to. If months or even years pass before writing in it again, that's as valid as committing to it daily. Every writer is different.
What do I do if I don't have anything personal to write in a diary?
It's your diary. You can skip the day, if you want. Just note that it was a very relaxing day or maybe jot down your upcoming plans. But you make the rules with your diary. The choices are always yours. That's what makes it personal.
What would I write about if I'm in middle school?
There are many things you could write about. Some things include: Write about your school life. What are your teachers like? What do you have for homework? Write about your social life. Who are your friends? What did you say back to that bully that beat you up yesterday? Write about extra-curricular activities. Do you have a different perspective about math club? Do you think that you are practicing enough each day on your viola?
Can I write in my diary more than once a day? Like if it is really important?
There is no set amount of times for writing in your diary. You can write in it as many or as few times as you wish. It doesn't even have to be important. It's completely up to you when you write in your diary.
If I have a lot of thoughts at one time, how can I organize them and put them down in an orderly way?
Try to remember the order you did them in. For example, first write about a brother making you mad after school, then about how the dog chased you into the kitchen, then about the gift you opened after dinner, then the homework that stumped you just before bedtime, and so on.
Have fun. Writing a diary should be a cathartic experience and not a chore. Allow yourself to enjoy your writing.
Instead of putting "My Diary" or whatever, you can put "Algebra Notes" or "School Notebook" just so no one knows it's your diary!
Ensure a way of keeping your diary private such as using a lock, code, or place to keep it hidden. You won't want your diary read!
Color the bottom of your diary on how you feel. For example: red if you are angry, blue if you are calm, et cetera. |
en | N/A | N/A | The European Commission’s latest economic forecasts will be presented on Friday. They should be the prelude to the first test case of the Eurozone’s ever-stricter fiscal rules.
Normally, releases of the European Commission’s economic forecasts pass by almost unnoticed and often lack financial markets’ interest. This time around, it should be different. When the European Commission presents its economic forecasts on Friday, market participants are well advised to have a closer look and pay particular attention to the fiscal forecasts. For the first time, the Commission will present a fully-fledged forecast in February. The forecasts for government budgets will form the basis for the next steps in the Eurozone’s fiscal surveillance.
So what if a country fails or looks set to meet the required deadline? Eventually, not sticking to the official deadline could lead to a financial fine. Before this happens, however, the country in question will be given a last chance to take additional austerity measures. Or, following good European traditions, the deadline could be extended.
The option of an extended deadline is seen in the official fiscal rules. To qualify for an extended deadline, two criteria have to be fulfilled: 1) the country has to have implemented the required structural adjustment; and 2) fiscal slippages must have been caused by “unexpected adverse economic events”. An exact definition of these “unexpected adverse economic events” does not exist. In recent years, the severe 2009 recession led to an extension of EDP deadlines.
Given the above, at least three Eurozone countries will anxiously study the new European Commission forecasts on Friday. Cyprus and Slovenia seem to be off track in terms of both meeting the required deadline and fulfilling the structural adjustment. Clear evidence that Cyprus probably needs a fully-fledged bailout, rather than a bailout light only for its financial sector. France is a borderline case and could become the big challenge for the Eurozone’s fiscal framework. Last week, a French government official announced that the deficit target for this year will not be reached. This means that the deadline to bring the deficit back to 3% will be missed and, at the same time, the structural fiscal adjustment so far has anything but outperformed the requirements. Here, the deadline could be extended although sluggish growth, mainly due to home-made structural weaknesses, would obviously not be the most elegant way to define “unexpected adverse economic events”. The same holds for the fact that the economy falls clearly short of returning to the government’s assumed trend growth of 2.5% from 2011 onwards.
For the European Commission and eventually all Eurozone governments the question will be “sink or swim”. Strict application of the rules to regain credibility or softer (and for some smarter) application not to overburden the battered economies with additional austerity? Obviously, there are pros and cons for both options. An interesting side track will be the discussion on the methodology is measured as the change of the cyclically-adjusted fiscal balance; a methodology that recently received some criticism in the context of the fiscal multiplier discussion.
The way forward will be a walk on a tightrope. The decisions of the coming months will not only have an impact on near-term economic prospects but will also more fundamentally pave the way for fiscal surveillance in the Eurozone.

UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni is a little more seasoned in this routine, starting his second season of his second stint as a Big East coach.

It’s a controlled excitement that only adds to the intense moods she and her backing musicians create, a smoky nightclub sort of feel. Conversely, the opening track, “Just Friends,” finds her in a jaunty Ella Fitzgerald mode, singing over bouncy piano notes.
It’s no wonder that King-Jackson has become a local favorite, hosting the open-mic Tuesday night at Detroit’s legendary Baker’s Keyboard Lounge with a string-and-percussion trio. King-Jackson and her top-notch players were recently the first group broadcast worldwide (via the Internet) on renowned WDET-FM (101.9) radio host Ed Love’s show. They followed that live-in-the-studio performance with a set for Mike Tyson and Tommy Hearns when the boxing notables unexpectedly stopped in at Baker’s.
King-Jackson’s husky-but-smooth delivery, combined with her rich tones (much like a soul singer just tinkering with jazz), will make most any listener stop and pay attention. The only shortcoming of Friends and Lovers is its relative brevity. Then again, maybe good music is supposed to leave you wanting more. Mission accomplished.

en | N/A | N/A | Bonifacius Wolfhart, auch Bonifacius Lycosthenes (* um 1490 in Buchen; † Mai 1543 in Weil der Stadt), war ein deutscher Theologe und Reformator.
Wolfhart war um 1513 Schulmeister im hessischen Friedberg. Dann studierte er 1517–1520 in Basel und Straßburg Theologie, das er mit einem Magister Artium abschloss. 1522 wurde er in Basel an der Kirche St. Martin Kaplan und 1525 wegen Teilnahme an Unruhen ausgewiesen. Er kam nach Augsburg und wurde Pfarrer an St. Moritz, ab 1527 war er Lehrer für Hebräisch in Straßburg. 1531 kehrte er wieder nach Augsburg, wo er bis 1534 Pfarrer der St.-Annen-Kirche war, danach wieder an St. Moritz bis 1543. Mit Gereon Sailer eröffnete er 1531 eine Gelehrtenschule in Augsburg, die städtische Lateinschule, ein Gymnasium bei St. Anna, wo sie die ersten Lehrer waren. Er verfasste 1533 den ältesten Augsburger Katechismus, der wegen seiner zwinglianischen Ausrichtung Martin Luthers Widerspruch hervorrief. Im Augsburger Abendmahlsstreit trat er als Angehöriger der reformierten Partei hervor. Unter anderem behauptete er, Martin Luther habe ihnen vorgeworfen, sie lehrten über das Abendmahl nicht anders als die böhmischen Brüder. Der vermittelnde Reformator Martin Bucer war daher mit seiner Entsendung nach Wittenberg nicht einverstanden, konnte sie jedoch nicht verhindern. Vor allem protestierte Wolfhart gegen das "substantialiter" (Wesensverwandlung, siehe: Transsubstantiation) und "corporaliter" (Realpräsenz) im Abendmahl. In Augsburg behielt er aber seine starke Position. Zusammen mit seinem Pfarrkollegen Wolfgang Musculus unterschrieb er trotz seiner Einschränkungen die Wittenberger Konkordie 1536 und ebenso die Schmalkaldischen Artikel 1537 für den Augsburger Rat.
Das Kirchenlied "In Gottes Gnad hebt all Ding an" geht auf Wolfhart zurück.

en | N/A | N/A | Loan to value ratio- The percentage of the loan amount as comparedypically 80% is a conventional loan standard but there are lower rates available for borrowers who are. Borrowing 95% is generally going to get you a higher rate of interest due to the greater risk to the lender.
Credit Scores- The middle score pulled from a bank or brokexperian, and Equifax. Often these scores will differ from scores you pull yourself from online services. A middle score above 740 will generally see the lowest rates. Remember also that if there is a co-borrower, a lender will use the lower of each applicants middle score.
Job history- Lenders are looking for a stable job history and documentable income. 2 years tax returns, a month’s worth of pay stubs, and 2 years W-2’s or 1099’s is a standard underwriting criteria today.

Our Net Equity Loans brokerage shops dozens of wholesale banks rates every day and we realize how confusing this can be. Your best best about your borrowing needs. Our mortgage experts will be able to determine how you will qualify and then shop rates and programs for you through many different banks.

Word out of Iran is that the whole fiasco is merely a chance for Kuwait to discredit the country. However, the evidence is strongly leaning towards the validity of the sleeper cell and the Iranian governments full knowledge of its existence. And according to the Kuwaiti government there are still at least seven more members of the sleeper cell who have not yet been apprehended. But what is most disturbing is that interrogations with the suspects are slowly revealing that the espionage stretches clean across the Gulf Corporation Council (GCC) member states with several Gulf countries supposedly having an invisible sleeper cell operating from within. Leaders from the Arab world are expected to meet in the foreseeable future to join forces in combating Iranian spy ringsranslate this page |

en | N/A | N/A | Let’s face it, learning to recycle and understand why it’s so important is just about the most important life skill there is right now, so congratulations to Sunbird Books for this bright, engaging board book which explains recycling simply to the very young. Over five jolly spreads, we follow the progress of a tin can all the way from the green bin on its journey from rubbish to shiny, new recycled tin. The text is short, perfectly geared for little ones, and fun to read, and the illustrations are lively with lots to spot and name. A spinning wheel (watch those tins drop into the recycling lorry) and a surprise pull out tab at the end add to the fun. Essential reading for budding eco-warriors everywhere! There's a companion board book Go Go Eco Apple too!
Ever been asked what happens to the apple after you throw it into the green recycling bin? This book takes the very youngest on the apple core’s journey to the recycling plant and on until it is transformed into compost to help another apple tree to grow. In board book format, this is perfect for the very youngest children. The text is simple but stimulating, and the pictures clear and bright, full of things to spot, name and count. Added treats like a spinning wheel so that you can drop the apples into the compost bin, and a pull up tab to reveal the new tree, make it even more satisfying. Fun, informative and engaging, this is the perfect book for young eco-heroes.
Your dreams can be enormous, even though you might be small. You just need to believe you can be anything at all. These lines open and close this positive and inspiring picture book, and in between we play and explore with four lively little friends as they build models, explore ‘jungles’ and go swimming with whales. Not only do their games look great fun, but they also hint at all the things the children could do in the future. Playful but delightfully accurate in its depiction of small children, it’s a book to make readers of all ages smile and feel happy. |
