One of the words that politicians` lexicon does not have is `enough`. Their insatiable desire for self-aggrandisement knows no bounds. And they are ready to go to any extent to realise their dreams. After all, that is why they are called politicians!
Victory has proved to be problematic for the UPFA with some of its ambitious constituent members demanding more and more National List seats. National Freedom Front Leader Wimal Weerawansa has done an Oliver Twist. He wants one more National List seat for his party. He and UPFA General Secretary Susil Premjayantha have locked horns and are washing dirty linen in public. The stench is unbearable. The JHU is also said to be resentful over the allocation of National List seats but it has not voiced its protest in public unlike the NFF.
Weerawana argues that his chum M. Mussamil, who exposed an attempt by the Opposition to bribe him in the run-up to the last presidential election and risked his life in the process, deserves a National List appointment. He says the UPFA has reneged on its promise to him. It cannot be gainsaid that Mussamil unsettled the Opposition in a big way for the benefit of President Mahinda Rajapaksa in the presidential fray and therefore deserves a better deal. However, the government says it cannot afford to grant two National List slots each to its coalition partners as Weerawansa demands, because in such an eventuality the SLFP, the biggest constituent party of the UPFA, will be left with only three National List seats. This argument is also tenable in that the UPFA would not have won the April 8 parliamentary polls but for the SLFP.
The NFF fielded 15 candidates and only two were returned only three of the nine Ceylon Workers` Congress candidates were elected the JHU had five contestants in the fray but only two of them succeeded the Mahajana Eksath Peramuna fielded five candidates but three of them failed to win of the 13 leftists who contested on the UPFA ticket only three got elected and the Upcountry People`s Front was wiped out in the contest. So, it is fair that the SLFP has got the lion`s share of the National List seats.
The situation, however, was different in 2004, when the JVP, which contested a general election on the UPFA ticket, fielded 39 candidates, out of whom 36 were returned. The outfit was entitled to five National List seats but taking into consideration the then President Chandrika Kumaratunga`s predicament, it `donated` two seats to the SLFP! This time around, the JVP-led DNA has won only seven seats and former JVP front liner Weerawansa is fighting for an additional National List slot! The JVP, which once claimed to be capable of `swallowing` the SLFP, now finds itself in the exalted company of the Old Left!
UNP Leader Ranil Wickremesinghe has also drawn heavy flak for not accommodating some of the UNF National List nominees like Rukman Senanayake, who is the UNP Assistant Leader. Besides the Oliver Twists demanding more seats, some defeated candidates also want to enter Parliament through the back door.
The President and the UNP Leader have come under immense pressure to abuse the National List to accommodate political rejects in Parliament. They have for once refused to budge. Their task of making National List appointments was akin to getting a camel through the eye of a needle. It is not that they have not erred in that endeavour. Their wisdom is in question.
The political fallout of tussles over the National List appointments is yet to be seen. They may either fizzle out with the passage of time or lead to splits. Most protesters are too dependent on the SLFP and the UNP for survival to leave their coalitions in a huff. As for the vociferous dissenters within the government ranks, voting with their feet is a frightening proposition like kicking up a row in the last bus and getting off half way through in the middle of a dreadful rainy night near a haunted cemetery on a deserted road!
However, one thing is clear. Both the President and the Opposition Leader are in trouble because they did not put the National List to the intended use. Instead of using it to bring in men and women of eminence as MPs, they stuffed it with ambitious politicians, most of whom could have been made to contest elections. They have no one to blame but themselves.

For years, drone warfare has been an essentially American pursuit.
The new age of armed robots has been symbolized by Predators and Reapers spewing deadly Hellfire missiles.
But guess who’s the biggest exporter of combat drones? China.
“In 2014–18 China became the largest exporter in the niche market of unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs), with states in the Middle East among the main recipients,” according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute, which compiles estimates of global military strength and arms spending.
“The number of countries that import and use unmanned combat aerial vehicles (UCAVs)—which are remotely controlled armed aircraft often referred to as armed drones — continued to increase in 2014-18,” SIPRI said.
China is now taking that a step further.
China’s Chengdu Aircraft Industry Group (CAIG) – a subsidiary of the state-owned Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) – has reportedly signed a deal with the provincial government of Sichuan to develop an industrial park in the region, dedicated to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), Jane’s has reported.
A statement by the Sichuan government said the new facility will be located in Zigong, in the centre of the province, and will focus on both military and commercial UAVs.
“We will develop a world-class manufacturing industry cluster,” said the statement.
The industry park will possess capability “across the entire UAV industrial chain” including design, research, development, testing, assembly, manufacturing (including 3D printing), commissioning, and sustainment, the statement added.
Under the plan, CAIG and the government of Sichuan will jointly invest about CNY10 billion (US$1.55 billion) in developing the facility.
The government also forecasts that the industry park, once fully operational from around 2023, will generate the same amount of funds in terms of annual production output.
Around “100 large UAVs” are estimated to be developed and built at the facility every year, which will be named the CAIG-Zigong UAV Industrial Base.
Outlining the rationale behind the project, the Sichuan government said the facility will support its efforts to expand the regional aerospace industry and economy, and is aligned with national efforts to develop capability in military and commercial unmanned systems.
It added that CAIG is expected to consolidate some of its “widespread” industrial UAV assets.
Interestingly, China’s more aggressive foreign policy in Asia has hampered its arms exports. “China’s arms exports are limited by the fact that many countries — including 4 of the top 10 arms importers in 2014-18 (India, Australia, South Korea and Vietnam) — will not procure Chinese arms for political reasons,” SIPRI noted.
Last month, China has announced the completion of its new stealth drone Feilong 2, claiming it could rival the US Air Force’s B-21 stealth bomber, Eurasian Times reported.
Quoting the South China Morning Post, Zhongtian Feilong Intelligent Technology — the Xian-based drone maker’s multirole high-subsonic UAV could be used for precision strikes on key assets such as enemy command centers, military airstrips, and aircraft carriers.
The Feilong-2 or Flying Dragon 2 could also be used with a swarm of drones to carry out reconnaissance and surveillance, a saturation attack, or damage assessment, it added.
According to the developer, the Feilong-2 or Flying Dragon-2 has similar speed, attacking range, payload, and stealth capabilities as the Northrop Grumman’s B-21 Raider, which is expected to take its maiden flight by July.
The B-21 Raider of the US Air Force is an advanced heavy bomber being developed by Northrop Grumman under its Long-Range Strike Bomber Program. It can deliver both conventional and thermonuclear weapons.
According to sources, the new B-21 is poised to benefit from continued innovations and yet-to-exist technologies.
China also recently unveiled an advanced radar, that it says can detect stealth aircraft, including drones, and low-flying cruise missiles.
China has unveiled new advanced radars that could detect stealth aircraft, including drones, as well as low-flying cruise missiles, as the country continues to aggressively boost its fighting capabilities and flexes its military muscle amid emerging tensions in the region.
The portable and multipurpose radar, can be carried by a single soldier, according to the Global Times.
The equipment is being dubbed the “terminator of drones” for its capability to detect small and slow targets that blend themselves under strong noise waves by flying close to the ground.
The so-called “YLC-48 radar” can “effectively detect and track incoming targets from any angle,” according to its developer, the No 14 Research Institute of the state-owned China Electronics Technology Group Corporation (CETC).
The radar uses digital integrated circuits, and it can be mounted on all kinds of lightweight weapons platforms, can conduct missions under all-weather conditions, and can be rapidly deployed and withdrawn, the report said.

Saturday 8/3/19 was much clearer than the past several weekends. While we went back to Forks again, the trip was different this time. There were very few clouds over the Olympics and everything was visible. There also was almost no wind at altitude and relatively light winds on the ground. The air was mostly smooth, with only a few bumps below the small clouds that marked the top of the thermal activity.
On the trip out I headed inland at Port Angeles and passed through the canyons around Lake Crescent. There were almost no bumps over the lake, even as I dropped below the tops of the hills. Once I got west of the lake over the land the bumps picked up, but remained pretty gentle.
It was a really busy day in the northwestern most corner of the continental US. As we approached Forks there was an airplane there already and as we approached there was another (besides us) approaching all at the same time, which is a lot for a place that is not even in the middle of nowhere, it is on the outskirts. You have to drive at least an hour to get to nowhere.
I managed to land and get out of the airplane in time to video Carl?s landing, it seemed only right as he?s recorded mine a number of times.
As we came out of the restaurant I saw a black SUV with Texas plates. I wondered why in the world anyone would drive from Texas to Forks Washington. Apparently, due to the Twilight movies, that I know nothing about, Forks has become a pretty big tourist attraction since those stories supposedly took place in Forks, though the filming was done in Oregon.
As we came back from lunch there was yet another airplane on the ramp. As I looked from the ramp to the Logging Museum across the street I saw a van that said ?Twilight Tours? on the side. I never knew about any of this.
Just after we took off from Forks I heard someone taking off from Quillayute. Shortly after there was an amphib that took off from Quillayute as well. Also at the same time there was someone going into Sekiu.
On the way home I took a turn around Mt. Olympus and Hurricane Ridge. The clouds that did form were very inconsiderate and insisted on being at the very altitude I wanted to be at. I managed to make a few passes at 7,500? dodging the occasional cloud.
After that I headed directly for home. Before we left that morning Carl commented on how few airplanes there were around at Arlington. I told him that he just jinxed it. That came to pass when I got back. There were several airplanes approaching all at the same time. I had to slow down early and do a number of turns, a couple of 360s and one S turn (a 180 to the right followed by a 180 to left) in order to sequence myself into the conga line.
At least from all that I managed to pull off a good crosswind landing.

Where to party in Berlin
By day: From picnicking on the runway at a former airport to urbexing in an abandoned amusement park, there’s so much to do in Berlin you’ll be planning your next trip on the plane home. From fascinating history to cheap and insanely good food, this city was made for travellers on a budget.
By night: Techno has been a fundamental part of this city ever since the wall came down in 1989. Berlin’s nightlife is quite frankly legendary, from illegal raves in the cellars of a former brewery turned GDR warehouse to the infamous Berghain and its fearsome bouncers.

Where to party in Amsterdam
By day: Oh hello pretty one. The best way to see this city is by bike – so hire one from your hostel and zip off along the canals, where you’ll find everything from eco-boat cafes with hammocks and organic grub grown on-site to amazing vintage treasure troves.
By night: Amsterdam is probably one of the most open-minded places in the world, so you can expect round-the-clock partying and all kinds of nocturnal naughtiness. It’s also home to two of the biggest events in the electronic music calendar: Dekmantel Festival and Amsterdam Dance Event.

Where to party in London
By day: London has some of the best museums in the world that don’t cost a penny to visit. Skip the crowds at the biggies and head to the Wellcome Collection for oddities from the world of medicine, or the Horniman Museum to see a walrus that’s been stuffed by somebody who’d never seen a live one (it’s as funny as it sounds). After all that culture, you’ll want to get stuck into London’s famous foodie scene where you’ll find everything from curried goat to Cuban grilled sandwiches. YUM!
By night: London has given birth to more than its fair share of musical genres, and its diverse mix of residents means that the party scene is constantly redefining itself. From toasting London’s skyline from the top of a multi-storey car park to a street party in Shoreditch, expect the unexpected in this vibrant metropolis. And the icing on the cake? Two words: night tube.

Where to party in Barcelona
By day: Architecture doesn’t get more feel-good than Gaudi, and the city is covered with his weird and wonderful masterpieces, from the Sagrada Familia to Park Guell. After you’ve ticked off a few essentials, ditch the guide book and just go with the flow: once you get off the main tourist strip you’ll find amazing cheap tapas and quirky little cafes. Finish up the day with cocktails on the beach = living the dream.
By night: Barcelona’s motto: go hard, or go home. The city is jam-packed with amazing venues, from the micro clubs on Las Ramblas to huge open-air clubs that feel like an adult playground. And then there’s its unbeatable festival line-up: Sonar, Primavera Sound and Piknic Electronik. No wonder all your friends want to move here!
Read the latest tips for partying in Barcelona.
Where to party in Paris
By day: The centre of Paris is compact, and very walkable so ditch the sweaty and frankly rather seedy Metro. One of the nicest places to take a stroll is the Promenade Plantée, which is the city’s answer to New York’s High Line. From here it’s a hop and a skip to Paris’s hippest hipster neighbourhood: Canal Saint Martin. Grab lunch to go and sit and eat it by the canal as you people/pug watch. For the best sunset in town, head to the nearby Parc de Belleville.
By night: Paris’s nightlife will be the ruin of you if you’re not careful. Do you know what’s worse than paying £12 for an orange juice in a mediocre little bar next to the Eiffel Tower? Nothing. Nothing is worse than that. But with a little insider knowledge, you’ll discover that beneath the city’s posh exterior lies a vibrant underground party scene that is surprisingly budget-friendly.
Read the latest tips for partying in Paris.
Where to party in New York
By day: If you want to save your dollars for after dark, take advantage of some of the city’s very cool free events. Our fav is the free yoga in Bryant Park – the perfect way to start the day in this frenetic city. Afterwards, head to the Williamsburg neighbourhood for street art, vintage shopping and amazing coffee.
By night: The city that never sleeps has a party for every taste – whether you want a rooftop pool party with killer views, illegal rave in an abandoned factory or a boat party with the Statue of Liberty as a VIP guest. If you’re not down for a full-blown rave, the city has some very cool bars and speakeasies. Remember you’ll need to be over 21 (and have ID) to get in anywhere though!
Read the latest tips for partying in New York.
Where to party in Rome
By day: Hear us out here, but you have to go visit the Colosseum. Yes, there will be selfie sticks, and yes the entrance fee is something like €15, but nothing can compare to seeing this bad boy in real life – so much history and craftsmanship. After that, it’s time for carbs – head to the tiny, family-run Farine La Pizza for authentic and budget-friendly pizza goodness. And in the afternoon it’s time to up your Instagram game with two words: Trevi Fountain and gelato. Okay, that was three.
By night: Rome mixes world-class DJs with historic venues: so if you fancy partying in the grounds of a 17th century convent or a speakeasy with its own labyrinth (is that really a good idea?) then you’re in for a treat. To start the evening, why not make like the budget-conscious locals and buy a bottle of something tasty and head to a square to enjoy al fresco.

The V60 Cross Country is essentially a taller version of the V60 wagon with added off-road bits inside and out, following the same formula as the Audi A4 Allroad and the Subaru Outback. Initially, the V60 Cross Country will be available with Volvo’s six-speed automatic transmission and 2.5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine, rated at 250 horsepower and 266 lb.-ft. of torque.
Compared to the standard V60, the the V60 Cross Country is some 2.6 inches taller and features front and rear skid plates underneath, an all-wheel-drive system with torque vectoring and a hill descent system. To set it apart from the V60, the Cross Country wears unique bumpers, body cladding and side scuff plates, as well as 18-inch wheels at all four corners.
Canadian pricing hasn’t been announced, but Volvo says it will go on sale in Canada and the U.S. next year following its L.A. Auto Show premiere later this month.

In what can only be described as a dumb move ahead of the election, the Conservatives are musing about getting closer to Saudi Arabia, and even potentially giving more foreign aid in the Gulf region, at a time when many Canadian Citizens here at home are in need of help.
According to a recent CP report, “A Conservative government, if elected this fall, would work to fix Canada’s relationship with Saudi Arabia by trying to build back rapport with the kingdom in areas that it considers of mutual interest. Erin O’Toole, the Conservative critic for foreign affairs, said in an interview they would try to “win some trust” with Saudi Arabia by focusing on improving commercial ties and by offering more aid, development and refugee support in the Gulf region.”
“More aid, development and refugee support in the Gulf region?”
That sounds like a Trudeau-government move.
Why should Canadian taxpayers give more of our money to foreign countries, especially when so many of our own Veterans are homeless, and many parts of our country don’t even have the basics like clean and safe drinking water?
And why are we wanting to strengthen ties with the Saudis, when they are our competitor in the oil market?
This is incredibly foolish, and is the same kind of elitist pandering that we all rightfully criticize from the Liberals.
Canada doesn’t even have free trade within our own country, considering all the restrictions between provinces, so why don’t we fix that before talking about trading with regimes like the Saudis.
This musing about closer ties with the Saudis is concerning coming from the Conservatives, as it seems to point to them continuing the ‘tradition’ of a Canadian foreign policy that is always based on trying to appease foreign countries and submit to the whims of others, rather than standing strong and focusing on building up our own nation here at home.
With that said, the Conservatives are still so far getting it right on China, advocating a much tougher approach than the pathetic weakness of the Trudeau Liberals. That’s the kind of toughness we need more of, instead of talk about getting closer to Saudi Arabia and giving our money away.

Hundreds gathered Friday outside Amazon’s headquarters in downtown Seattle as part of the demonstrations. Participants chanted, “Hey hey, ho ho, fossil fuels have got to go” and held signs with messages such as “Amazon, Let’s lead. Zero Emissions By 2030.”
Rebecca Sheppard, 28, works in Amazon’s air, science and tech group to make the online retail giant’s planes more efficient.
She said she thought about quitting last year over her concerns about Amazon’s massive carbon footprint, but colleagues discouraged her, saying she could effect change by sticking around.
“We’ve just got to double down,” she said about employee efforts to produce change.
(Amazon founder and chief executive Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post.)
The strike is being held in advance of a Monday climate summit at the United Nations. U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres has insisted that instead of bringing “fancy speeches” with them to the meeting, the countries must offer concrete commitments such as reaching net zero emissions by 2050 or eliminating the construction of coal-fired power plants.
Strike organizers expected more than 1,000 events to take place in the United States alone.
The tech workers joined millions of youths from more than 150 countries around the world who skipped school Friday in solidarity with the movement. Among them was 16-year-old Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, who has given a speech before the United Nations, met with political and business leaders, and has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for her work.
Facebook released a statement Friday expressing its support for employees who chose to walk out and said that the company is “building sustainability into our operations as well as engaging the global community on this important issue with our products.”
Microsoft declined to comment. Google, Twitter and Square were not immediately available to comment.
At Amazon, the walkout came a day after Bezos announced a “Climate Pledge” that would require signatories to meet the goals of the Paris climate agreement a decade early. The pledge also requires regular measuring and reporting of emissions, as well as obtaining net zero carbon across businesses by 2040, among other stipulations.
Bezos said Amazon would be the first company to sign the pledge. Critics, who have long claimed Amazon does little to offset the emissions it produces, say the pact lacks transparency and standardized rules for what is measured and reported.
Amazon declined to comment on the walkout.
In Seattle, workers who walked out held signs that opposed deals with gas and oil companies. The crowd booed when a speaker noted that Amazon funds climate-denying lobbyists. There was also a speaker from Google.
Sarah Read, a user experience researcher with Prime Video, said Thursday’s announcement shows employees are having an impact. She said she believes the Climate Pact is related to an employee-sponsored shareholder resolution that would have required the company create a plan to address climate change, a resolution that failed in spring.
“It’s a direct response to Amazon employees standing up, speaking out and saying this is important to them,” Read said.

The Round Rock Public Library is celebrating creativity and innovation the week of Sept. 10-16 as part of Outside the Lines, a global initiative designed to get people thinking — and talking — about the library in a whole new way. We want you to think outside the lines when it comes to libraries.
Did you ever think that you could check out robots from the library? We have added to our Take Home Technology Collection and would like to introduce you to Dash & Dot. The Round Rock Women’s Club has provided funding for kits featuring these adorable robots. Now you can check them out, take them home and use them to learn computer programming.
How about making new friends at the library? I was brought to tears when one of the English as a Second Language students told me her story of how she felt isolated and alone before joining the ESL study group. The library has several other groups where you can meet people who have the same interests or where you can learn a new skill.
Our Book Group meets on Sundays, Knitters on Tuesdays, and there is a Friends of the Library meeting 7 p.m. Monday. For a complete schedule, visit our web calendar at roundrocktexas.gov/departments/library.
Another way you can celebrate creativity and innovation is by reading fiction. Research shows fiction fosters emotional intelligence, helping you empathize with others, the way you might with characters.
For many years, my favorite genre was nonfiction that read like fiction, but recently I started to read more fiction. Thinking outside the lines can also mean getting out of your comfort zone, and I’ve done that by reading fiction that I did not select, but was recommended to me.
These three titles are all very different, and I would probably have never picked them myself. I highly recommend "A man called Ove" by Fredrik Backman, "Big little lies" by Liane Moriarty and ‘Before the fall" by Noah Hawley. Next on my reading list is "Spoonbenders" by Daryl Gregory.
September is also National Library Card Sign Up Month. Convince three friends to get a new library card or renew their cards. Share your love of libraries by telling someone about your awesome library experiences.

Indications from close quarters may mean that Cesc Fabregas, midfielder at Chelsea, would yet turn down another transfer move offer from a number of Chinese clubs.
Just recently, the 29-year old midfielder had turned down an offer from West Ham United especially following his lack of playing time at the Premier League games for Chelsea.
Sources close to him have told ESPN FC that the player has also added a number of Chinese clubs to his snub-list as he hopes to once more breakthrough into the starting XI of the Antonio Conte's led side.
A number of Chinese clubs indicated their interest in the midfielder, with the hope of signing him onto their club and luring him to play in the Chinese Super League. AC Milan, has also been on the side, watching and monitoring the situation.
The Spaniard, however, has reiterated his decision to stay on at Stamford Bridge, saying he has no interest in moving out at this stage of his career.
Also, a loan switch that could see him head off to London Stadium to play for the Hammers has fallen through as the player is determined to remain at his club and fight for his position.
The midfielder's future at the Stamford Bridge has so far been an object of discussion, especially in view of the transfer window opening once more in January.
Fabregas, who has found himself out of favour with the Italian manager is not expected to stay on considering that he has not featured in any Premier League game for Chelsea since they lost 3-0 to Arsenal on September 24. This however, has been partly attributed to injury. Fabregas has a contract with Chelsea until 2019 and he is hopeful that he would breakthrough before then. In addition, Conte has been reassuring, saying he still has plans for Spaniard despite not playing him for quite a while.

Diet in Crohn's disease
Patient with Crohn's disease need to pay special attention to theirs for several reasons nutrition respect, think highly of. On the one hand, due to this disease, nutrients in the intestine are not absorbed in sufficient quantities, so it can Malnutrition and malnutrition train (Malassimilation).
Some people also avoid certain foods that they subjectively feel are making their symptoms worse. This behavior increases malnutrition. In addition, the body is in an acute phase in a state that is characterized by inflammation (fever, diarrhea, etc.). Among other things, this results in an increased energy requirement and a disturbed iron metabolism.
Read more on the topic: Iron Deficiency and Depression - What Is the Connection?
In addition, some of the drugs that are used in the therapy of Crohn's disease also affect the energy metabolism. The frequently used glucocorticoids, for example, lead to an increased need for calcium, as they can otherwise lead to osteoporosis.
Read more on this topic: Medicines for Crohn's disease
Nutritional therapy in the different phases of the disease
The exact nutritional therapy recommended for Crohn's disease depends on the phase in which a patient is. In general, alcohol and, above all, nicotine should be avoided. Those affected should make sure that they eat several small meals rather than a few large meals in order not to put excessive strain on the intestines, and food should always be consumed slowly and chewed well.

In the acute episode
An attack in Crohn's disease usually lasts 3-6 weeks. During this time it is particularly important to pay attention to your diet.
Due to the severe diarrhea, the body loses a lot of fluid and important nutrients.
However, since the intestine is inflamed and particularly sensitive during this time, it makes sense to take a closer look at the menu at this stage. In the inflammatory phase, the acute flare-up, you should eat a little differently than in the remission phase. The latter is to be seen as a recovery phase.
During the acute phase, the intestinal mucosa should only be gently touched by the food. An easily digestible diet is therefore advisable. It is therefore important not to consume too much fiber, so raw vegetables and grains would be unsuitable.
Here you can see an overview of the most important dietary recommendations:
Consume plenty of fluids: still water, tea, and even diluted juice spritzers for lighter attacks
Reduced fat diet
White bread (better than wholemeal bread), brown bread, wheat or semolina porridge, rice flakes, white pasta and rice, mild skimmed milk products (yoghurt, quark, cottage cheese), mucous soups, vegetable broth, potato or carrot soups, parsnips , Zucchinis, baby food, oat or millet flakes, seeds, nuts, soy products
Protein-rich food: fish, meat, eggs
Furthermore, the temperature of the food should be lukewarm. Spicy foods such as foods that are too sour or too sweet should also be avoided.
In the case of a very strong inflammatory phase, however, the above diet may also be contraindicated, as it is also not tolerated. Here, a high-calorie sip feed is recommended.
In a few serious cases, normal food intake via the intestines may no longer be possible, so that artificial nutrition (parenteral nutrition) is necessary.
Read more on the topic: Crohn's disease attack
In the remission phase
In the remission phase, the main focus is on the body with all the important Nutrients and Vitamins to take care of and also the intestinal peristalsis Fiber to stimulate. So, for example, are recommended vegetables, fruit and Potatoesbecause they contain many important vitamins and minerals.
Depending on this, supplements to normal food can sometimes be used, such as Iron or calcium tablets be useful. Also Soy and whole grain products should be on the menu in remission. Should be avoided if possible animal fat (so rather lean meat consume) and sugar. Other foods that are not well tolerated by many Crohn's disease patients include: Eggs, milk, Bananas, yeast, Wine and caffeine.
However, there are in some cases considerable differences, which is why the menu is always individually should be created. Additional intolerances such as Lactose intolerance, which are often associated with Crohn's disease, must of course also be taken into account if they are present.
A diet tailored to the disease is an important part of the therapy for Crohn's disease and can optimize drug treatment. If all therapy recommendations are followed, the Life expectancy hardly or not at all restricted in Crohn's disease.
Read more on the topic: Life expectancy in Crohn's disease
Can i drink alcohol?
Basically is it possible to drink alcoholas long as you feel comfortable and you don't feel any strong irritation of the intestines afterwards. Advisable it is, however Not.
Alcohol leads to one severe irritation of the mucous membrane. The intestinal mucosa, which is already irritated, continues to be provoked, especially in an acute episode. As a result, most of those affected do not feel like drinking, as it is even worse for them than without alcohol.
When the body is in a recovery phase, it is more likely to drink alcohol. But even here it is better not to drink too much.
Most of all you should do without high-proof alcohol and limit consumption to special occasions.
It is ultimately up to you how to deal with the disease and to what extent you can do without certain things.
Can i eat bread?
Eating bread is at least possible. However, it is recommended that you no whole grain bread to take in. Wheat bread or brown bread are therefore preferable.
Patients also often report that they especially tolerate rusks, crispbread and toasted bread. It's best to try out what is good for you.
Do I have to eat gluten-free?
With Crohn's disease it is no need to pay attention to a gluten-free diet. On the contrary: some foods containing gluten, such as wheat bread, are often better than some gluten-free products. This has to do with the fact that these are richer in fiber, for example, which is ultimately bad in an acute episode.
Diet for diarrhea
Because of the extreme diarrhea in an inflammatory phase of Crohn's disease many Vitamins, minerals and nutrient get lost, it is important this to substitute. This can be done through diet, but sometimes also through tablets or injections. Most of the time, however, diet is enough.
As mentioned above, it is important much liquid to feed the body.
Especially one protein- and calcium rich Diet is desirable as well as one low fiber diet. White bread and brown bread are just as good here as steamed vegetables.
After an operation on the intestinal tract, it is important to give the intestines some rest. That means that the first days after the operation the food intake bypassing the intestinal tract should be done so parenteral. This can be, for example, through infusions with high-calorie food.
Then it is recommended gradually one Diet structure to help the digestive tract slowly get used to food again. Several small meals are important here.
- Level: low-fiber carbohydrates, fat-free products
- Level: also high-carbohydrate diet (white bread, brown bread), very lean protein products.
- Level: like the 2nd level, the protein products may contain a little more fat
- Level: sufficient fiber, light whole food

Video: Evil Game Design Challenge winner pitches F2P Evil Minecraft
Ubisoft's Teut Weidemann won Casual Connect's Evil Game Design Challenge with a light-hearted pitch for Evil Minecraft, a version of Minecraft with premium currency and permadeath.
February 14, 2014
1 Min Read
Ubisoft Blue Byte's Teut Weidemann, who has worked on free-to-play games like Settlers Online, won the second annual Evil Game Design Challenge at Casual Connect Europe this week with a light-hearted pitch for Evil Minecraft, a version of Minecraft with premium currency and permadeath. Weidemann won by popular applause in a friendly competition against Laralyn McWilliams, studio design director of The Workshop, and DeNA's Ben Cousins. The competition was moderated by Big Head Mode's Scott Foe, and while the premise was farcical the pitches -- which were filled with tips, advice and anecdotes from casual game industry veterans -- are worth watching. For his efforts Weidemann was awarded the Casual Games Association White Cat Award for Excellence in Game Design, presented in the form of an adorable stuffed animal. The first Evil Game Design Challenge was reporetedly the most-watched talk from Casual Connect USA last year, and the full video of the second -- filmed at Casual Connect Europe in Amsterdam earlier this week -- is available on the CasualConnect Youtube channel alongside other talks from the conference.

BUFFALO – Sabres goalie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, whose six wins led all first-year netminders, has earned NHL Rookie of the Month honors for January.
Luukkonen, 23, has emerged as the Sabres’ No. 1 goalie this season, becoming their backbone after being recalled from the Rochester Americans in November.
In January, the Finn was stellar, making at least 30 saves in five of his nine outings. Overall in the month, he compiled a 6-2-1 mark with ... Read the full article
BUFFALO – At times this season, Sabres winger Victor Olofsson has battled adversity and the perception he’s too one-dimensional.
For stretches, he has struggled at even strength and lost ice time, doing little to dispel the belief he’s simply a power-play guy who possesses a lethal shot.
Still, 45 games into the campaign, Olofsson has already registered a career-high 21 goals.... Read the full article
BUFFALO – It was only fitting, right? On a night the Sabres honored Ryan Miller by retiring his No. 30 and inducting him into their Hall of Fame, the goalies stole the show in the home team’s thrilling 3-2 overtime victory.
At one end, rookie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, the Sabres’ best young netminder since Miller in the early 2000s, made several game-saving stops. Meanwhile, New York Islanders goalie Ilya Sorokin made 19 of his 42 saves ... Read the full article
BUFFALO – So far, the Sabres’ jam-packed schedule has helped them make the best of a difficult situation and accommodate three goalies.
This week, Craig Anderson, Eric Comrie and rookie Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen have all earned starts. Luukkonen remained on the roster following Thursday’s 4-2 loss to the Winnipeg Jets, a sign he could play tonight’s road game against the Nashville Predators.
The Sabres also play Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and next Saturday. They have ... Read the full article
BUFFALO – At 6-foot-4 and 207 pounds, Connor Hellebuyck can be an imposing presence in net. The Winnipeg Jets goalie, the 2019-20 Vezina Trophy winner, plays even bigger than his hulking size might indicate.
Just ask Sabres coach Don Granato.
“Hellebuyck looked like a sumo wrestler with athleticism,” Granato said following Hellebuyck’s stellar 39-save effort in Thursday’s 4-2 loss to the Jets. “He was good. He was big and solid.”... Read the full article
BUFFALO – A dynamic five-point outing, the Sabres’ first by a defenseman since 1989, has earned Rasmus Dahlin NHL Third Star honors for the week ending Sunday.
Dahlin, 22, performed dominantly in Saturday’s thrilling 6-5 overtime win against the Minnesota Wild, recording two goals and three assists. His second goal tied the game late regulation before he assisted on winger Victor Olofsson’s game-winning score.
A Sabres defenseman hadn’t recorded a five-game game since Phil ... Read the full article
BUFFALO – By the end of one of the most brilliant performances by a Sabres defenseman in their 53-year history, Rasmus Dahlin was exhausted.
Dahlin, having surpassed a minute on the ice, desperately wanted to get to the bench for a breather late in Saturday’s frantic overtime against the Minnesota Wild.
“I was going to, but I have to play defense,” Dahlin said following his dynamic two-goal, five-point performance in the Sabres’ thrilling 6-5 win. ... Read the full article
BUFFALO – Late last month, Rasmus Asplund began what he called a “reset.” The Sabres winger felt the details slipping in his game, and he struggled so badly he sat out five straight games as a healthy scratch.
“I just needed to reset everything, start on a new page and get back to my game,” Asplund said prior to Tuesday’s 6-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings at KeyBank Center.
That game, the Swede said, ... Read the full article
BUFFALO – Sabres winger Casey Mittelstadt’s gig on the top line is only temporary.
Center Tage Thompson and wingers Jeff Skinner and Alex Tuch form one of the NHL’s most lethal scoring trios. When Skinner returns from his three-game suspension for cross-checking, he will likely assume his regular role as the left wing beside Thompson and Tuch.
“I don’t think I’m taking Skinny’s spot,” Mittelstadt joked following Monday’s practice at KeyBank Center.... Read the full article
BUFFALO – The edge Jeff Skinner possesses makes him one of the NHL’s most unique talents. Not only is the Sabres winger a top scorer, he’s also willing to go hard after opponents.
To wit: with 22 seconds left in the third period of Friday’s 4-3 overtime loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins, Jake Guentzel hit Sabres goalie Craig Anderson’s hand as he froze the puck. Skinner took umbrage and went after Guentzel.
Guentzel slashed Skinner ... Read the full article

Have you ever had an aggressive adrenaline rush? Or recently got over hyper on some simple issue?
Thinking, right? I know the term ADHD seems complicated and gives rise to many questions in mind.
Their growing number of illness and disorders in the environment. Another one added in the list must have made you anxious.
To break the suspense and before I start sharing the information, let me define the term first. This will give you a clearer picture of what I am talking about.
The full form is – Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.
As the name says it is a hyper state in which the person is not able to control his or her behavior. It makes you overactive and difficult to concentrate on anything. Mostly this disorder states from the childhood and often extends till the adulthood.
According to the researchers, the disorder is a combination of two behaviors. To study the basic symptoms, you can divide them into categories-
During this behavior, it becomes difficult for the person to concentrate on one thing. Their mind wanders and makes them a bad listener in public. They may seem lazy and not punctual. But in actual they find it difficult to plan, organize and complete the task on time. This leads to poor learning capacity and also slow transition from one work to another.
While observing this behavior you will see that person is restless. He or she will not be able to sit without rest. Either they will be fidgeting with things or showing uncontrollable body movement. For example tapping of feet. Due to lack of concentration they will keep shifting from one task to another. With the urge to do more than one thing at a time, they go haywire and confuse themselves.
How to detect?
After observing these symptoms, you can approach the doctor with a report. The report should contain information from parents and the professional front.
Consult the doctor and start with the regular treatment. It gives you chances to see drastic improvement along with other measures.
Causes of ADHD
Though there is no specific cause for the problem, but can get passed on in genes. For people who have had a history of such disorder in the family, they are likely to receive it in the blood. Other reasons are a chemical imbalance in the brain and lack of nutrition during early days. One is when the mother gets exposed to mercury during her pregnancy.
Medical and Emotional Help
For such cases the person needs both medical and person attention. The mother should make sure to help the child out with things and make him patient. For adults try to strengthen their concentration level and also help manage their anger. Mistakes happen without any notice because of this disorder. At such a time it becomes tough for them to understand what exactly is going on. Support them and boost their morale to show them everything is fine.
You can take them for therapies or organize a schedule chart so that their life comes in routine. Make them learn how to juggle with more than one task at a time.
Instead of leaving them on their own due to reasons, hold their hands. Help them overcome this difficult time to live a better and happy life.

Eastern District of Texas District Judge Rodney Gilstrap, who has the busiest patent docket in the United States, recently announced a new model procedure for handling the onslaught of so-called “101” or “Alice” motions. “Alice” refers to the United States Supreme Court’s June 2014 decision in Alice Corp. Pty. Ltd. v. CLS Bank Int’l, 134 S. Ct. 2347 (2014), which held that patents that merely implement an “abstract” idea on a generic computer are not eligible for patent protection under 35 U.S.C. section 101. The basic rationale behind the decision is this: abstract ideas are not patentable because they are the basic tools of scientific and technological work, and monopolizing those tools through the grant of a patent might tend to impede innovation more than it would tend to promote it (thereby thwarting the primary object of the patent laws). Alice held that stating an abstract idea while adding the words “apply it with a computer” is not enough to obtain a patent.
Fast-forward to roughly one year into the post-Alice world. Defendants facing patent infringement assertions have filed several dozen motions to challenge patents as invalid under Alice, and many are being challenged at the pleading stage via FRCP 12(b)(6) motions to dismiss or FRCP 12(c) motions for judgment on the pleadings. The vast majority of these motions have been granted. But some district courts have been hesitant to invalidate patents at the pleading stage without first interpreting or “construing” the claims of the patent, which typically occurs later in the case after the parties have exchanged infringement and invalidity contentions, and engaged in discovery. And while the Federal Circuit has made clear that claim construction is not necessarily required before finding a patent to be ineligible, some courts have denied early Alice motions without prejudice, pending claim construction.
Highlighting this issue, Judge Gilstrap recently announced a new procedure for handling Alice motions before the court has construed the patent. The new procedure, contained in a sample docket order posted to the Eastern District of Texas website, requires leave from the court, upon a showing of good cause, if a party wishes to bring an early Alice motion. Similar to the procedure the court has adopted for summary judgment motions, the court will manage the good cause determination through a letter briefing process. Under this process, a defendant may file a five-page opening letter brief; the plaintiff may respond with a five-page letter brief within 14 days; and the defendant may reply with a three-page brief within five days thereafter.
Judge Gilstrap has started adopting this new procedure in cases that have been pending for several months. It remains to be seen whether or how this procedure will affect the numbers of Alice motions heard at the pleading stage, and/or whether other judges will adopt these procedures. Stay tuned.

Shimbashi Soba & Sake Bar
17 Liverpool Street, Melbourne
03 9654 6727
- Potato Salad
- Chicken Soba (Large)
- Duck Soba
The Potato Salad, which was a complimentary dish, was delicious. Fragrant and aromatic mashed potatoes with an exceptionally smooth texture was mixed with a light dressing, creating an enticing and refreshing starter.
The Takoyaki balls were luke warm at best. Lacking in crunchiness, the inner had a powdery texture and didn’t contain much octopus.
Gyozas were no better. Extremely oily, the dumplings were limp and lacked flavour. Dipping it in the sauce helped a little. However it’s quickly evident why there’s little flavour, as there wasn’t much substance within the dumplings to give it any taste.
The Okonomiyaki was powdery and consisted mostly of corn starch with little actual vegetables. The mushy texture was not helped by the lack of a signature crunchy outer layer.
While I normally have no problems paying extra for larger portions the charge here was simply unjustified. When all you get is a bowl that is exactly the same size as your neighbours’ one, consisting of a grand total of THREE tiny pieces of chicken, I literally don’t know what the extra money went to.If I wanted only extra noodles, I would’ve ordered exactly that.
Onto the taste then, or maybe the lack thereof, as the broth of this ‘Chicken’ Soba was just a salty, bland and watery mixture with absolutely no depth in flavour, or any flavour in fact. This soba was thoroughly unsatisfying and was a blatant ripoff.
The Duck Soba was no better. With much of the ‘duck’ consisting of just fatty bits of skin, most of the dish was actually inedible, unless you are asking for a heart attack. Dipping the soba in the overly salty soup, which lacked any flavour apart from soya sauce, was unsatisfying at best.
The service was probably the most unprofessional I’ve ever come across in any Japanese restaurant. We waited half an hour to be seated, all the while seeing dirty dishes idling by on empty tables.
Between the clumsiness of the waitress spilling water all over the table, and every single dish arriving at different times despite requesting for all entrees to be served first, this dining experience was unpleasant to say the least.
At this price point, the food court quality food, coupled with the clumsy, disjointed service and half hour wait is simply unacceptable.
Having sampled similar dishes in Japan, this restaurant is a disgrace to Japanese cuisine.
Would Penguin Eat Again?
Suffice to say, I will most definitely not return.
The mediocrity and daylight robbery here is just phenomenal.

IRA Contributions – Hurry the Clock is Ticking!
If you’re like many Americans you wait until the last minute to do many things. Well, in 2016, you get three extra days to file your federal tax return, which means 3 extra days to make those last minute IRA contributions for the previous year!
If you have yet to contribute to your self-directed IRA, consider doing so before the tax deadline in order to maximize your tax benefits. Remember contributions to tax-deferred plans such as a Traditional or SEP are tax write offs for you and contributing to a Roth allows you to save for retirement in a tax-free environment where you can take tax-free distributions at age 59 ½ as long as the account owner has had a Roth established for at least 5 years.
One strategy to make the most of your retirement savings is to start making these contributions early in the year, but if you haven’t done so don’t worry, the tax deadline this year is April 18, 2016!

Beloved title The Simpsons: Hit & Run has received a remake, of sorts, in Unreal Engine 5.
The project comes from YouTuber and developer reubs (as spotted by GAMINGbible), with the game being rebuilt entirely in Unreal Engine 5 in one week. During the video, reubs shares his fondness for the game and how it was an integral part of his childhood. Check it out for yourself below:
“The first thing I need is access to the map. Now I could technically remake the entire map from scratch but you would need a team of like 100 people,” reubs says. “I only have three friends, and I’m including my mum in one of those three friends, so that’s just not enough people.”
The Simpsons: Hit and Run originally launched in 2003 across PlayStation 2, Xbox and GameCube, going on to sell more than three million copies. The game has gained a cult following over time with many regularly requesting a remake of the title.
Last month, the current co-showrunner of The Simpsons Matt Selman admitted that he would love to see a remastered version of the legendary The Simpsons: Hit & Run game, however he conceded that it would be “complicated” to say the least.
“We were all playing Grand Theft Auto at the time and [the] publisher, they just wanted another driving game. And we were like, everyone’s playing whatever version of Grand Theft Auto, people need to get out of the cars,” said Selman.
Making the game more than just about ‘driving around doing missions’ was a worthwhile battle, Selman added.
This followed a producer on the title stating that they believed that the game could be remastered in the near future, something we’re still waiting on to potentially see happen.

A former treasurer for Exponent II, one among Mormonism’s longest-running feminist magazines, stole more than $100,000 from the nonprofit basis in Boston, the crowd introduced Saturday.
Suzette Smith, a qualified organizer in Virginia, turned into Exponent’s volunteer treasurer in 2012 and embezzled donations to the crowd for her non-public use from then till 2017, when her fraudulent actions got here to gentle.
“This was not an isolated incident or one-time lapse in judgment; she actively chose to steal from Exponent II in over 600 different transactions,” the board wrote in a blog post. “She deliberately took measures to hide her activities, such as opening multiple bank accounts, limiting access to those accounts, and falsifying financial statements to make board members think that Exponent II was barely solvent.”
The board reported the case to the FBI previous this yr, since the crime used to be carried out over state strains. After an investigation, the company “presented the evidence to Suzette,” the crowd wrote. “She pled guilty [in court] to the crime of felony wire fraud on November 16, 2018. She will appear before a judge to receive a sentence in February 2019.”
According to a “Statement of Facts” indexed by means of the U.S. District Court for Eastern Virginia, “Smith transferred or paid again roughly $84,319.70 [of] the roughly $191,674.91 that [she] embezzled. Smith’s overall quantity stolen from [the nonprofit] used to be roughly $107,451.21.”
Smith’s deception has been an enormous emotional blow to all the ones ladies running tirelessly and with out pay to stay the ladies’s magazine afloat since its founding in 1974, created to discover feminine tales and problems in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“All our hearts are damaged, particularly the ones ladies who labored for many years to construct the group right into a solvent, sustainable undertaking,” stated Carrie Salisbury, an Exponent blogger. “The way Suzette preyed upon the trust and vulnerability of a group of Mormon women to steal their ‘widow’s mite’ is a betrayal that is rocking our organization to the very core. The only thing sustaining us now is that our trust in each other is not broken, and we’re doing all we can to rebuild.”
In reaction to this incident, Exponent II has carried out a number of “financial safeguards,” guarding who has get admission to to financial institution accounts and cash dealing with.
Smith, who faces conceivable jail time in addition to required restitution and conceivable consequences, stated Saturday she used to be deeply sorry for what she did.
She had “made terrible mistakes,” Smith wrote in an e mail, betraying ladies and a undertaking that she beloved, whilst appearing “for my personal gain.”
“The slide into taking the money was incremental,” Smith stated in a shortened model of what she is going to say to the court docket when she is sentenced Feb. 15. “As part of my rationalization, I pushed aside the details, and only later, after the audit, was I shocked to realize that I had stolen over $100,000.”
Still, she admits she used to be “shameless and arrogant. I acted selfishly and with no regard for others. What makes it worse is that Exponent II was a family to me. They trusted me with an opportunity to be a part of an amazing organization.”
She “acted outside the boundaries of society’s morals and norms,” Smith stated. “I went against my own moral compass — of values such as honesty, trust and loyalty.”
She is in a position “to accept justice, in whatever fines and punishments the courts see fit to place on me,” Smith stated. “My belief in Christ and his grace remains strong. It is my wish to walk the path of redemption.”
Smith’s apology rings hole to Exponent II editors and previous editors, who’ve struggled for more than a yr to regain monetary balance for the magazine after her deception.
She has persevered “to minimize and hide the extent of her betrayal up until this plea bargain,” stated former editor Aimee Evans Hickman, “when she confessed her crimes to the United States government.”
That’s one thing she hasn’t ever finished, Hickman stated, “to her Exponent sisters.”

Lima, Feb 26 (EFE).- Peru’s National Airspace Research and Development Commission (Conida) exhibited Monday four metal spheres that fell from the sky on Jan. 27 in the southern Puno region and which are apparently of Russian or Ukrainian origin.
The spheres fell in a rural area more than 1,000 kilometers (800 miles) south of Lima on the Bolivian border, a researcher with the Conida Superintendency of Astrophysics, Walter Guevara, told EFE.
“We think these are parts of one of the stages of a spacecraft, which, for reasons we don’t understand, fell in that area,” he said.
Though up to now no country has claimed the spheres as its own, Guevara said that one of them had words written in the Cyrillic script, which could indicate they are either Russian or Ukrainian.
“We have asked for aid, through the Foreign Ministry, for the Russian Embassy to help us find out where these spheres came from,” he said.
Guevara said that when they received the report about the objects, they activated the protocol for such cases and asked the Puno regional government to ask local police to close off the area.
After a group of experts came together there a day and a half later, they found that the objects had no exhaust of the gas that would generally be used as fuel or for their pressurization.
“Among the gases normally used is hydrazine, which is very toxic and can cause death instantaneously by just breathing or touching it. When we analyzed each one, we saw they were sealed,” Guevara said.
