Grandmas Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler
One of my fondest summer memories, when I was young, was picking blackberries for Grandmas Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler.
Hot summer day, getting pricked by the stickers, watching for snakes. ah, what fun!!
The worst and the best were picking wild blackberries in random places in the pasture. Wild blackberries have half inch long stickers and a bigger chance of snakes. However, wild blackberries are much better, in my opinion, than blackberries that horticulturists have improved. They have smaller seeds and more intense flavor.
Making Grandmas Old Fashioned Blackberry Cobbler is a two-step process. First, you need to make the crust which is an easy dough to make. This top crust is similar to sugar cookie dough and easier than pie crust dough to make. Next, youll boil the berries with sugar to sweeten and thicken them. Finally, you put the two components together for the most amazing dessert.

Primocane blackberries vs. Floricane blackberries: Primocane blackberries are the plants that fruit on the current year growth, such as: Prime-Ark45 Thorny, Prime-Ark Freedom Thornless and Prime-Ark Traveler Thornless. We recommend these varieties if you wish to have a fall crop: late August to November-depending on Hardiness Zone.
The other varieties of blackberries on our site are Floricane blackberries. Floricane berries fruit on the prior year growth and are considered summer fruiting varieties: beginning of June to August 15, depending on Hardiness Zone and spring weather conditions. If current spring is colder with late frost conditions it means that your blackberry crop will be delayed. Try to water thoroughly to save your crop through the dry hot season.
Trailing and semi-erect cultivars need a trellis. Erect cultivars can grow as bushes. Send us an e-mail for 14 pages of instructions about pruning and trellising. All of our blackberries are tissue cultured plants.
What Makes Fruit Pies Runny / How To Thicken Blackberry Pie
Pies will get soupy/runny if theres too much liquid in the filling. Some blackberry pie recipes use flour to thicken the filling, and others use cornstarch. Some even use tapioca but I never have that in the cupboard. I like to use cornstarch to thicken my fruit pies because it has 2x the power of flour. So you get better thickening with the same amount. Meaning that your pie filling wont taste like flour.
When transferring the berries to the pie crust, make sure NOT to add the liquid from the bottom of the bowl. This extra liquid can also make the crust extra runny. Dont worry your pie will still be super juicy.
You can use fresh or frozen berries for this pie. If using frozen, thaw the berries first then drain the excess water.

California Republicans lost a fourth House seat Tuesday, as late vote-counting handed political newcomer Josh Harder enough votes to push GOP Rep. Jeff Denham from his seat in the agriculture-oriented Central Valley.
The loss, called by the Associated Press at 6:20 p.m. Tuesday, came as two other Republican-held seats to the South in Orange County were perilously close to flipping as the provisional and late mail-in ballots continued to break for Democrats.
Rep. Mimi Walters (R., Calif.) held an election night lead of more than 6,000 votes that has dwindled as the vote-counting has continued over the last week.
On Tuesday night, Walters's Democratic challenger Katie Porter, a UC Irvine professor who considers Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) a mentor, took the lead for the first time, edging Walters by just 261 votes.
Republican Young Kim, a former assemblywoman and a longtime aide to retiring Rep. Ed Royce (R., Calif.), also saw her lead fall, from 1,957 to just 839 votes against Gil Cisneros, a former Navy veteran and lottery winner after a major vote dump by Los Angeles County, the most liberal of the three counties portions of which make up her district.
The Kim and Cisneros campaigns have traded barbs and accusations of vote-counting misconduct over the past few days and each have pledged to keep a close watch on the process.
"We continue to observe the ballot counting process and remain committed to upholding the integrity of this election," a campaign spokesman told the Washington Free Beacon late Tuesday. "The Young Kim campaign will work to assure that every legal ballot cast is counted."
Cisneros on Monday said his team is "very proud of the democratic momentum that everyone helped build in the 39th, and we'll continue to work to ensure every ballot is counted & every voice is heard."
The three seats are among the seven that Democrats heavily targeted after a majority of voters in those districts voted for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
On election night, it appeared that Democrats had managed to flip just three of the seven seats, knocking off GOP Reps. Dana Rohrabacher and Steve Knight, while Mike Levin handily defeated GOP candidate Diane Harkey in the race to replace retiring GOP Rep. Darrell Issa.
Now, after nearly a week of vote counting, Democrats have picked up four with two more GOP seats in serious jeopardy of falling to the Democrats.
Only Rep. David Valadao (R., Calif.), also in the Central Valley, appears to have strengthened his position in late vote-counting: Valadao on Tuesday evening added another 153 votes to his margin, which has crept up to 2,444 votes in the past week against Democratic opponent T.J. Cox
If Republicans lose all six seats, they will have no representation in Orange County, once a conservative bastion that President Reagan famously described as the place "good conservatives go to die," for the first time in modern political history. They also will hold just eight of the state's 53 seats and none of the U.S. Senate seats.
The poor GOP showing has prompted prominent Republicans in the state to argue that the party needs to do some soul-searching. There are still nearly an estimated 4.5 million registered Republicans in the state, but they make up just 25 percent of the electorate with 44 percent, or 8.4 million registered Democrats in the state.
Even though California's voter registration hit an all-time high ahead of the November election, both Republicans and Democrats saw their ranks shrink between May, before the primary, and September, while the number of unaffiliated registered voters continued to climb to 27 percent.
Prominent Republicans called for a party-wide reckoning. Travis Allen, a Republican member of the California State Assembly representing Huntington Beach who ran an unsuccessful campaign for governor this year, called for new leadership of the Republican Party in California.
"The days of the Republican Party losing ARE OVER," he wrote in a Tweet. "It's time for NEW LEADERSHIP in California. It's time we ORGANIZE TRUE REPUBLICANS across our state to FIGHT and WIN. It's time to TAKE BACK CALIFORNIA." [Emphasis in original.]
Another veteran GOP legislator blamed the party for failing to differentiate itself from President Trump and the national Republican Party.
Kristin Olsen, a former state Assembly GOP leader, wrote in a piece on CalMatters website that the "California Republican Party isn't salvageable at this time."
"The Grand Old Party is dead—partly because it has failed to separate itself from today's toxic, national brand of Republican politics," she wrote.
"I and others have been warning people for years that this day of reckoning was coming if we didn't do something different," she added. "And as Election Night proved, the day has come."

Background: The atrophy of medial temporal lobe structures, such as the hippocampus (HC) and entorhinal cortex, is potentially specific and may serve as early biomarkers of Alzheimer’s disease . In particular, the atrophy of the HC can be used as a marker of AD progression since changes in HC are closely related to changes in cognitive performance of the subject . The evaluation of HC atrophy is usually estimated by volumetric studies on anatomical MRI, requiring a segmentation step that can be very time consuming when done manually. This limitation can be overcome by using automatic segmentation methods. However, the complex relationship between the intensity of the MR signal and the HC boundaries makes it difficult to accurately achieve this task. In the past few years, label fusion methods have demonstrated high performances in anatomical structure segmentation [2-4]. These methods use manual segmentations of anatomical MRIs from a training library to perform the segmentation of a subject. Recently, we have proposed a new nonlocal patch-based label fusion method and demonstrated that this approach can accurately segment the HC on young adults through an efficient fusion of manual segmentations . By taking advantage of the redundancy of information present within the subject’s image, as well as the redundancy across subjects, the patch-based nonlocal means scheme enables the robust use of a large number of samples during estimation. Contrary to classical label fusion working at the structure level, our method deals with a finer level by comparing subparts of the structure (i.e., small 3D cubes). In this study, we propose to validate our nonlocal patch-based method on the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) database by segmenting the HC of Cognitively Normal (CN) subjects and patients with early Alzheimer’s Disease (AD). Moreover, we evaluate the impact of the training library composition (i.e., only AD, only CN or a mix of AD and CN) on the segmentation accuracy of our algorithm. Methods: In this study, we used images obtained from the ADNI database (www.loni.ucla.edu/ADNI). This database contains both 1.5T and 3.0T T1-w MRI scans. For our experiments, we randomly selected 10 1.5T MRI baseline scans of CN subjects and 10 1.5T MRI baseline scans of patients with AD. After a linear registration to the stereotaxic space by using the ICBM-152 template as target image, the left and right hippocampi of each selected image were manually segmented by an expert at our centre. The first experiment was designed to evaluate the accuracy of our segmentation method on the ADNI dataset with a group constituting of CN subjects and patients with AD. The accuracy of the label fusion method varies according to the number of templates. In this first experiment we used a training library of 16 templates (8 CN subjects and 8 patients with AD). The second experiment was designed to investigate the impact of the composition of the training library. Three different training populations were built by combining the selected 20 MRI scans. The CN population was composed of 8 normal subjects, the AD population was composed of 8 patients and the mixed AD / CN population was composed of 4 CN subjects and 4 AD patients. This way, the number of templates in the training library was the same for all the training libraries compared. Through a leave-one-out procedure, our automatic segmentation method was applied on each of the 20 MRI scans. During the experiments, the default parameters were used for all the images (i.e., a patch-size of 7x7x7 voxels and a search area of 9x9x9 voxels). The quality of the obtained automatic segmentations was evaluated by estimating the Dice Kappa similarity index. This index measures the overlap between the manual segmentation and the segmentation produced by our patch-based method. Finally, a pair-wise multi-comparison test was used to detect significant differences between segmentation quality according to the training library for both populations CN and AD. Results: For the first experiment, the median Dice Kappa values are presented in Table 1. The segmentation accuracy was significantly better (p-value=0.002) for CN subjects (median k=0.883 for both HC) than for patients with AD (median k=0.838 for both HC). A median Dice Kappa value superior to 0.8 indicates a high correlation between manual and automatic segmentations. A median Kappa value superior 0.88 is similar to the highest published values in literature [2-4]. The difference in segmentation quality between populations might come from two sources. First, the higher anatomical variability of patients with AD makes the segmentation more difficult and may require a larger training library. Second, the smaller volumes of HC of patients with AD, due to the HC atrophy, can negatively bias the Dice Kappa index measure. For the second experiment, Figure 1 and Table 2 show the Dice Kappa similarity index for both studied populations according to the training library composition. As expected, by using smaller training libraries, the segmentation accuracy slightly decreased compared to experiment 1. For both populations, the best median Kappa values were obtained with the mixed CN / AD training library (k=0.875 for CN population and k=0.835 AD population). Moreover, for both populations, results were statistically similar by using a training library with the same property than the population segmented, compared to a mixed training library. When the entire training library is composed of templates with dissimilar property (i.e., segmenting AD subjects with CN templates), the results are significantly degraded; especially in the case of CN population (see left of Fig. 1). These results indicate that a mixed training library, containing a large number of patch variants, is better suited for segmentation than a non-population specific training library. Similarly to the first experiment, segmentation accuracy was significantly lower (p-value=0.004) for patients with AD than for CN subjects. Conclusions: The goals of this study were to validate our patch-based label fusion on ADNI data and to investigate the influence of the composition of the training library. First, we demonstrated that our patch-based method provides high segmentation accuracy for both CN and AD populations despite the small number of involved manual segmentation templates. During this experiment, the size and the anatomical variability of HC in AD population tended to decrease the segmentation accuracy compared to CN population. Second, we showed that the characteristic of the training library has a significant impact on the segmentation accuracy. By using a population specific training library or a mixed training library, better results are obtained. In conclusion, when the subject’s status is unknown, the results of our experiments suggest that using a mixed training library, covering the different scenarios, is the best strategy to adopt.

Performing arts organizations in Orange County have announced they will enforce strict COVID-19 safety protocols heading into fall. All ticket holders must be fully vaccinated in order to attend performances, and masks must be worn throughout, City News Service reported on Monday.
Organizations participating in the new set of rules include Arts Orange County, the Irvine Barclay Theatre, the Musco Center for the Arts, the Pacific Symphony, Pacific Chorale, the Philharmonic Society of Orange County, the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, the Soka Performing Arts Center and South Coast Repertory.
"The health, safety and wellbeing of our audiences, artists, crew and staff is paramount," Casey Reitz, president of the Segerstrom Center for the Arts in Santa Ana, said in a statement. "Working together to reduce any type of exposure to COVID-19 can ensure a safe environment for everyone," he said.
All participating venues will require proof of full vaccination to attend indoor performances. Guests will be required to wear masks throughout shows regardless of vaccination status. The group will reassess these policies on an ongoing basis.
"As we pivot and prepare for our stages to be active again, we must carefully consider the safety of our patrons, students, staff, and artists as our top priority, as well as university and state directives," said Renee Bodie, general manager of the Soka Performing Arts Center in Aliso Viejo.
"These mandates will allow us to safely share the beauty of live music with our patrons once again, something we have all been waiting a long time for,” she said.

Keep your Dog Safe this Winter
We have two Black Labs. Both dogs absolutely love to go outside in the winter, digging and playing in the snow here in Northern Ontario, Canada.
Topics | Animals/Birds | Winter Fun
While this is terrific exercise for the dogs, it should be done with care and attention, particularly when it is extremely cold.
Humans know to bundle up, wear a hat, mitts and scarf when cold outside. While your dog might have his own fur coat he still needs some special attention in cold climates.
Here are some tips to keep your dogs safe this winter:
Get out in the snow and play with your dog this winter, they will love it and you'll have fun, just don't stay out too long!
- If you have an outdoor dog, make sure he has a warm, dry doghouse or shelter. In extremely cold temperatures, bring him inside.
- Make sure your dog has enough water and water is clear of ice and snow.
- If your dogs coat is dry, ask your Vet about adding vegetable oil to his food.
- Watch for wind chills during extreme cold. Pet sweaters and coats are available. Pet booties are also available to keep paws warm. Do not leave dogs outside for extended periods when extremely cold.
- If the snow is piling up, make sure you clear a path for your dog to do his business or get exercise.
- If you take your dog on daily walks in very cold temperatures, shorten the length of time outside. Check paws for any packed snow between toes. If you've walked dog near roadways that have been salted or treated with chemicals be sure to clean his paws. Do not use salt or other chemicals near where your dog is tied outside area.
- Anti-freeze and windshield de-icer is fatal to dogs. Keep away from all your pets. These products smell sweet and taste good to your dog, make certain they don't have the opportunity to drink them or lick up spills.
- Do not leave a dog in a locked vehicle in winter. Although it may appear to be warmer in the vehicle, temperatures can drop very quickly.

Please do know that I am not able to really pay currently so sorry. If there is some way to repay you, perhaps by writing a story I will. Gender: Male Age: Early 20's Hair: I am not sure what exactly the style is called but it looks like this http://rs1202.pbsrc.com/albums/bb370/AnonymousLolita/Anime Male/anime-guy.jpg~c200 but the color I'd like brown with natural red hilights. Face: I want a face that is quite gender ambiguous. Like in the right clothes this guy could be a male or female. Green eyes wanted with a thinish face. Upper body: He would be a little bit big. Not to large, but a little bit of weight on him. Just a tiny amount. His chest should be tight. Lower body: Nice slender legs. Clothing: Depending on rather or not it's asking to much detail he is a total nerd so he would be wearing a shirt from an anime or cartoon show like Steven Universe or Dragonball Z with some denim shorts or pants. If that is asking to much detail lets put him in a simple gray hoodie.

Since joining the broadcast booth, Tony Romo has been known to call out plays before they happen. But really, his most underrated announcing quirk has to be his ability to narrate on-field conversations as they happen.
During Sunday’s Week 13 game between the Bengals and Chiefs, play was briefly stopped when Cincinnati’s Jessie Bates went down with an “injury.” It was an odd time to get hurt, considering Bates was part of the defensive huddle just seconds earlier.
Well, Romo quickly spotted what happened and, of course, had to narrate the entire dialogue.
Basically, the Chiefs caught the Bengals in the middle of a late substitution. So, in an effort to stop play, Bates faked an injury. This was how Romo called the moment:
Jessie Bates got sniped pic.twitter.com/akS4ELnS3I
— JM Football (@JomboyMediaFB) December 4, 2022
Romo included the sound of Bates in pain because of course he did.
Obviously, that kind of gamesmanship should warrant a penalty. But as long as players can get away with it, you’ll see those fake injuries in NFL games.
Still, fans were not happy that the flop went unnoticed by game officials.

GONE, by Michael Grant (HarperTeen 2008). To Sam and his best friend Quinn, the coastal California town of San Perdido is beyond boring, except when they are able to get on their boards and do some surfing.
And then, everything changes: instantly, everyone over 15 years old is gone. Disappeared. A barrier wall has appeared around the town, the animals are mysteriously "mutating," and some of the kids are developing strange powers.
Part HEROES, part LORD OF THE FLIES, GONE is a fun, fast, accessible read that nevertheless provides substance for the thoughtful reader.
GONE is the first book in a new series; book 2, HUNGER, is forthcoming in May 2009.

One of the things I think about when I harken back to the American Revolution, the Federal period, or the Civil War is the sound of fifes and drums. When I hear them today it helps bring me back to a different era. Edward Jarvis in his Traditions & Reminiscences of Concord, Massachusetts mentions hearing a bass drum for the first time together with fifes and snares in preparation for the spring militia muster “They had music-drum and fife, and one or more of each, and the bass drum after it was introduced. This was considered an important accession to the martial music, and a wonder to the boys. I remember well the time when I first heard one. It was one May evening when Capt. Sanderson led the artillery. It was my early bedtime. My brother Charles had gone to the chamber before me. As I followed, passing near the front door, I heard drums, and besides, the heavy booming sound, strange and beautiful to me. I could not resist going to the door to see, if possible, what the instrument was that made it. The music was at Capt. Sanderson’s shop 20 rods distant. Barefooted and bareheaded I ran to it, and there I saw the bass drum. I stood close to it and heard its full sound. I wished that Charles could be there to see and hear it. But I was told that it would appear when the company should come out and [so] was satisfied with my discovery and hastened home and to bed.”
But not only could beautiful music be played by bass or snare drum accompaniment; they were sometimes painted with wonderful patriotic artwork. Like powder horns, painted canteens and knapsacks, drums also cross over from the arms and militaria collectors to folk art. Here is an example, a Civil War Regulation Painted Rope Tension Drum.
It has red-painted upper and lower hoops, a blue-painted shell with an eagle, shield, sunburst, and banner marked "REGT./U.S./ INFANTRY." Since there is no regimental designation painted before “REGT.” this example was never issued. It has brass tacks around the side vent vent, and if you peep through the vent you can see on the opposite side the original manufacturers off white paper label marked "ERNEST VOGT,/MANUFACTURER OF/DRUMS, BANJOS, TAMBORINES, &c.,/No. 225 BEAVER STREET,/PHILADELPHIA./Contract, December 29th, 1864." This example also has its original calfskin heads, rope, and nine of the ten original leather ears for tensioning the drum. It’s rare to have such a complete drum that hasn’t been restored.
Like young Edward Jarvis, as a kid I got the same feeling listening to the fifes and drums and began to play when I was 10. Not only did the music stir me, but so did the artwork painted on the outer shells. Forty-five years later I still find myself in awe of these pieces of American history and art.

Hmmmm....... apparently I'm wrong. It seems to be hard to find any info, but I've seen a few references to Apple including analog video on the Mini DisplayPort spec-- unlike the standard Displayport, which does not, and which is where my reasoning went awry. I just assumed that Mini DisplayPort was a miniaturize version of the full size spec, but apparently not. As you note, the fact that Apple makes a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter means the analog has to be in there somewhere (although if you read the reviews at the Apple Store there seems to be some problems, so the implementation might be flakey).
I'm actually a little surprised Apple went this route, since they don't usually worry to much about backward compatibility when it comes to connectors.
At any rate, you're still
on the hook for a converter box, since VGA video handles RGB and timing functions as separate entities, whereas composite and S video are looking for those things combined. And no, it doesn't work to just stick all the wires together inside an adapter shell, it has to be done electronically.
EDIT: I just saw that your TV supports component in. Depending on the video card and the display device, just a simple VGA to RGB on RCA cable might
work. You can get a six footer from Monoprice for like $6, so it might be worth it to give it a shot.
Failing that, you'll have to spend upwards of a hundred bucks to get something like this.


Afghan girls compete in robotics challenge after visa obstacles
Published 4:22 pm, Monday, July 17, 2017
WASHINGTON — Their team shirts didn’t say “Afghanistan” and their name badges were handwritten, not typed, suggesting the last-minute nature of their entry into the United States. But the Afghan girls competing Monday in an international robotics competition in Washington were clearly excited to be representing their nation.
The team of six teenage girls was twice rejected for U.S. visas before President Trump intervened at the last minute. They arrived in Washington from their hometown of Herat, Afghanistan, early Saturday, and their ball-sorting robot competed in its first round Monday morning.

“We were so interested, because we find a big chance to show the talent and ability of Afghans, show that Afghan women can make robots, too,” said Rodaba Noori, one of the team members. She acknowledged, though, that the team “hadn’t long, or enough time to get ready for competition.”
The girls’ struggle to overcome war, hardship and U.S. bureaucracy on their journey to the U.S. capital has made their team stand out among more than 150 competing in the FIRST Global Challenge, a robotics competition designed to encourage youths to pursue careers in math and science.
The U.S. won’t say why the girls were rejected for visas, citing confidentiality rules. But Afghan Ambassador Hamdullah Mohib said that based on discussions with U.S. officials, it appears the girls, who are 14 to 16 years old, were turned away due to concerns they would not return to Afghanistan.
Speaking with the assistance of a translator who summarized their remarks, 14-year-old team member Fatemah Qaderyan said she was grateful to be able to compete. Her teammate, 15-year-old Lida Azizi, said she was a little nervous but also excited to be playing and proud.
Though there was a crush of media attention, the girls looked much like other competitors, wearing jeans along with white headscarves.
“I’m so happy they can play,” said their mentor, Alireza Mehraban, a software engineer. “They are so happy to be here.”
While teams had up to four months to build their robots, the Afghan team built theirs in two weeks before it had to be shipped to reach the competition in time, Mehraban said.
Mehraban said their robot managed to score one or two points in the first game and in the final two games of the day they got their robot to successfully hang from a bar, which earned additional points. The team will play three more matches Tuesday.

The recipe PM Narendra Modi wants to share with everyone
- "Drumsticks are very nutritious," said PM Modi at the Fit India Dialogue
- The PM has drumstick parathas two to three times a week
- The Dialogue marks the first anniversary of the Fit India Movement
Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a recipe he would want to share with everyone. Speaking during the Fit India Dialogue with fitness influencers, the Prime Minister, speaking about having nutritious food, said he has drumstick parathas two to three times a week.
"Drumsticks are very nutritious, I used to have drumstick parathas, even now I make it a point to have it at least two to three times a week... I think I should share the recipe with everyone," the 70-year-old Prime Minister said during a discussion that was attended by key influencers, including cricketer Virat Kohli, nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, footballer Afshan Ashiq, actor and fitness enthusiast Milind Soman, para-Olympian gold-medallist Devendra Jhajharia and others.
The Dialogue, organised to celebrate the first anniversary of the Fit India Movement, was opened by Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju who said, "The fitness campaign had become a people's movement."
Footballer from Jammu and Kashmir Afshan said, " Whenever I see girls exercising, taking part in sports, I feel very happy." To this, the PM said, "whatever you have achieved you have become an inspiration for all the girls in the country."
Soman spoke about the importance of fitness at all ages. "Fitness has no age bar, one can be fit at any age," he said.
PM Modi, who is known to follow a regular fitness routine, had in 2018 accepted a fitness challenge by Kohli and shared a video of his exercise routine. In the video, PM Modi could be seen doing several Yoga asanas, including pranayama.
Last year, the Fit India Movement saw an enthusiastic participation of people from all walks of life and from across the country. The Fit India Freedom Run, Cyclothon, Fit India Week, Fit India School Certificate and various other programmes saw a combined participation of over three crore people.

The Great Pumpkin
Among my projects for this past year has been ongoing research for my medical novel, set in the American West in the late 1800s. SHADOW is the tale of the doctors who have now become a rare breed in the medical profession. They were men of a certain stripe from a certain time -- before Medicare, before diagnostic tests, before studies filed and data compiled, before the lawyer class, before a physician became a statistician with a stethoscope or, for the manually dexterous, a scalpel.
Those doctors died off after they were driven out of their beloved profession by new technologies, new ways of dealing with medicine, new approaches to the patient. Patient-centered care was left in the dust and these doctors bit the dust.
The effects of this parting of the ways after the advent of “managed care” are still with us; indeed, medicine is currently on life-support. The doctor-patient relationship has become the Great Pumpkin, the Textbook Ideal over which the lawyers, the politicians and the bureaucrats fight and sue. The only people now left out of “health care” are the doctor and the patient.
The doctors of more than a few decades ago were driven out of their profession in ways that forever scarred them: the lawyers and bureaucrats shoved the exit door at the men who had pioneered medicine in a modern era. This era encompassed a time when the doctor and the patient could still know one another as people, individuals with lives and dreams and, yes, deaths that marked the end of their relationship, a bond that some have called second only to that between a man and his confessor.
It was a time when the lawyers did not intrude upon that bond. The doctor was granted the autonomy and the freedom to ponder, to question, to guess, to use the intuitive skills that were gifted to him as part of the art of healing. He carried to his grave the secrets of his own scars, along with the secrets of the scars of others, the patients he had tried to heal and, often, did heal, while he ignored the pain that came with the sacrifice of healing, or not healing, diseased, sometimes, doomed patients.
Through his dedication to the art of healing, he did himself many an injustice and he rarely spoke of them. When the era of injustices committed to the good doctors rudely dawned, many of them angrily left their profession, leaving it bereft of mentors, guides, teachers and inspiration for future doctors.
The lawyers can be blamed for this abysmal situation but the truth is that the doctor has overplayed his or her hand in believing that he is not replaceable. Ideally, a good doctor is not. In reality, he is. The gray areas in between those two positions are the shadow where modern medicine now exists.
This shadow of medicine is the chasm into which doctors have fallen, and they cannot seem to climb out of it, at least not by themselves. They must ask for help. That simple request, for help, is too painful for too many doctors to even contemplate. Their silence is killing them; that silence might just kill a patient or two as well, but, shush! Don’t tell the lawyers!
There are 3 reasons why any prospective Marine fails boot camp: (1) he is an egomaniac; (2) he joined the Marines for the wrong reasons; (3) he refuses to ask for help. This summary of advice applies to anyone attempting any endeavour. The physicians of the modern era would do well to at least contemplate his or her own humanity and fallibility, and to summon, at a minimum, the selfless surrender to a power higher than the medical licensing board.
It is this perversion of the field of medicine, as it has moved away from humility, that has altered it in ways that must be cured, or at least treated. Decades ago, many decades ago, mortality was more a certainty than a result to be avoided at any cost, and I mean “at any cost.” Medicine was palliative, not curative. A good doctor could cure many patients; some he could not. The fates of many patients were out of his hands. A wise doctor realized those fates were ultimately in the hands of God.
The assembly line aspect of modern medicine has further dehumanized a profession that has long acknowledged the dehumanizing process of its own training. The making of a doctor is the ultimate irony of dehumanizing the student whilst he learns about the human body. The heart, soul and mind of the prospective patient and the prospective doctor are jettisoned in this boot camp of future physicians. The humility of humanity must be restored to the classroom and to the clinic. “Getting to know you” is not just a song from The King and I, although the current crisis of medicine pits the doctor, King, against the patient, I.
It is time for
physicians to join, or rejoin the human race, a race that, in their minds, has run them into the ground. Doctors must leave Perfectville and live real life again if they ever hope to come out of the
shadows of living half-lives, quarter-lives, lives that do not matter.
Life cast a huge shadow over the world of medicine during the days of the late 1800s when doctors had not yet climbed onto their pedestals or hid behind the white coat. Those rugged individualists were mavericks who, one by one, blazed a trail toward modern medicine. Single-handedly, they crustily created and carved a profession out of grave-diggers and grave-robbers and barbers. SHADOW will reveal this world in all of its glory and all of its gore, along with some romance and self-inflicted murder. And I promise that it will one day, or one night, appear, unlike the Great Pumpkin!

I co-host a comedy podcast where we review and make fun of old films. It's called I Saw That Years Ago.
We just had Steve Molaro, Annie Potts and Mark Hamill as guests.
Steve was a writer on The Big Bang Theory and ended up as the showrunner. He co-created Young Sheldon.
When we asked Steve what film he wanted, he said Corvette Summer. It was Annie’s first film and Mark’s first after Star Wars. Since he worked with Mark on The Big Bang Theory and cast Annie in Young Sheldon, he asked them to come along for the ride.
Mark and Annie discuss working together, filming in Las Vegas, how they’ve changed as actors and what the film meant to them. Steve told us how he ended up on The Big Bang Theory, what it’s like living with characters for so long and why he loves really old cereal.
Plus much, much more.
Our podcast is tiny, so we were lucky to have such wonderful guests. Here are some links to the show and a trailer for the film. If you like it, please share it with as many people as you can.

For many people, every time they fly, their feet seem to swell – which is medically called dependent edema.
While feet swelling generally isn’t a cause for concern, it sure can be annoying and painful.
But why might your feet swell when you fly in the first place?
And is there anything you can do to prevent or get over it faster?
Why Your Feet Swell When You Fly
The main reason why your feet swell when you fly is due to inactivity.
When flying, you have no choice but to be confined to your seat for most of the duration of the flight, which causes blood to pool in your leg veins.
This leads to fluid leaving your blood and moving into the surrounding soft tissues and results in swollen feet.
The position your body is in with your legs bent doesn’t help either, as it increases the pressure on your veins and swelling.
Inevitably, this means that you are more likely to notice your feet swelling on long-haul flights compared to short-haul flights.

What Affects How Badly Your Feet Will Swell When Flying?
Conditions that affect your kidney, thyroid, heart, and liver can also cause your feet to swell even if you aren’t flying, though will be made worse when you do fly.
The same applies to pregnancy.
If you are unfit, you are likely to feel the effects of feet swelling more than someone who is fit, healthy, and active.
How to Prevent Your Feet From Swelling
Preventing your feet from swelling in the first place is usually your best course of action.
As swollen feet when flying is caused by fluid buildup in your surrounding tissues due to inactivity, you must try to become more active.
You can do this in a number of ways, thankfully including when seated, by:
- Wearing loose fitting clothes
- Wearing compression socks
- Getting up to take a walk every hour
- Stowing your bags overhead to maximize legroom
- Flexing your calf muscles
- Flexing and extending your ankles and knees while seated
- Avoiding crossing your legs
- Regularly shifting positions while seated
- Wearing loose fitting shoes
- Drinking plenty of fluids (preferably water) to prevent dehydration
- Avoiding sedatives and alcohol that may cause you to fall asleep and hinder activity
You might also want to skip eating any processed foods high in salt because raising the salt level in your body can further increase fluid buildup.
How Long Do Swollen Feet Last After Flying?
In most cases, foot swelling will resolve by itself with normal activity no longer than an hour after your flight.
How to Get Rid of Swollen Feet After the Flight
Even though any foot swelling should resolve by itself once you have landed and stepped off the plane, you can speed up the process by following many of the same prevention measures.
This includes moving around, staying hydrated, wearing compression socks, and avoiding foods high in sodium.
Is Foot Swelling Dangerous?
Foot swelling while flying generally isn’t a cause for concern.
As mentioned, foot swelling will only last up to an hour or so after your flight.
But if your feet are still swollen several hours after your flight, it’s best to seek medical care, as the cause may be a blood clot in your leg, which is also known as deep vein thrombosis.
Some warning signs to look for include:
- Severe leg swelling
- One calf is swollen, painful, warm, and red
- One leg is bigger than the other
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
Why Your Hands Might Also Swell When You Fly
Along with feet swelling, some passengers also notice that their hands seem to swell, too.
While this is less common, as we naturally use our hands more when seated while flying, such as to eat, control the in-flight entertainment, use our phone etc., and the position of our hands is less susceptible than our feet to swelling, it can still happen.
The main reason for hand swelling is the same as foot swelling: inactivity.

Mr. Pertsch, how much do you like German?
I love languages in general because they reflect society – and German is remarkably large, wonderful and diverse.
You are the editor of the new book “Duden: Diversity”. 100 authors present 100 terms that call for discussion – and the book seems primarily to show how language can hurt others.
Not only that, but it comes out in the book, yes: how do we deal with language, are there problematic words that are discriminatory? This is highlighted alongside many other diversity and diversity issues.

I thought I could sell a house quickly, even without an agent. With so many online marketplaces out there, it’s impossible not to find the right buyer. I realized later on that these marketplaces are only viable if you’re selling used furniture or cars. Selling real estate is far more complicated.
After reading a few articles on selling a home, I built a sign for the hardware store. I took photos of the property using my phone and posted them online. Within just two weeks, I gave a tour to dozens of potential buyers. Through realty hand title monitoring, the searching becomes much more streamlined. You can buy the properties anytime from anywhere.
While I felt grateful for their interest, I was exhausted. There were questions I couldn’t understand. Some negotiated a much lower price, and others seemed decisive about buying but didn’t show up again.
After almost six months, I wondered why it was hard to sell a handsome house in a peaceful neighborhood. A report shows that home selling speed is now at 32 days only!
Finally, I decided to work with a licensed real estate agent. At first, it seems like a luxury, but their services are invaluable.
Let me share with you how my real estate agent helped me.
Top Reasons You Need A Real Estate Agent To Sell Your Home
Help You Avoid Legal Risks
A home sale involves plenty of legal paperwork. One of the most important documents is the seller’s disclosure.
According to a second mortgage loans analyst at Maxfunding, the seller must disclose any information that affects the desirability or value of the real estate property. What you think is an insignificant matter could get you in trouble. The seller could sue you for fraud or breach of contract. It is more likely that a real estate professional is more familiar with disclosure laws. Furthermore, they are protected by errors and omissions insurance.
Has Access to Large Networks
Listing your home online or in newspapers may not be enough. Even if you have many friends and colleagues, it’s unlikely that they can market your house correctly.
A licensed real estate agent has a network of investors, agencies, marketers, etc., which means more potential buyers. A larger pool of buyers can translate to faster sales and higher profits.
Cross Out Unqualified Buyers
A real estate agent can tell who’s genuinely looking to buy a look and who’s just curious. You would have to put your life on hold each time you show the property—and you would want to limit that.
Experienced real estate agents know how to gauge a prospective buyer’s qualifications, motivation, and seriousness. My agent also asked whether they’ve checked any other properties and what they plan to do with the property in the next 5-10 years.
I also found out that most potential buyers are hesitant to ask questions when the seller is presenting the house. They tend to feel more comfortable discussing their needs and concerns through a mediator.
From preparation and marketing to price negotiation and paperwork, we can’t underestimate the advantages of working with a professional real estate agent.

All these people, these humans, innocent people just like everybody else, are steadily being forced into slavery, some right now. Is anybody aware that 3,827 people per day are being sold or kidnapped into slavery? Sex trafficking is one of the many forms of slavery still happening in America today. “Sex trafficking is a crime when women, men and/or children are forcefully involved in commercial sex acts.
Human trafficking, or trafficking in persons (TIP) or modern day slavery, is a heinous and widespread crime occurring around the world in nearly every society. Most people often thought slavery was part of the past; however, human slavery is part of our current society and has been an on-going issue around the world. Human trafficking is a type of slavery that involves forced or bonded labour, sexual servitude, child labour, or involuntary servitude all over the world. It is important to note that sex trafficking contributes to more than half of human trafficking and most of these victims are women and young girls. This modern day slavery can happen to anyone, anywhere, and at anytime (Ton, 2012).This literature review of documents and reports
Sex Trafficking of Children Most children that are trafficked are runaways from home because of abuse (Child 1). Some children are victims of trafficking, in other words prostitution, by their family members. The family members prostitute their children for survival (Human 2). Children that are forced or persuaded into prostitution are brainwashed. The children or victims think it is the right thing to do to survive (Surprising 3).
Many of the adults and children put into prostitution were at one point abused horribly. Furthermore, 98 percent of women become prostitutes if abused at a young age. Children were taken from their families and forced to have sex against their will. These traffickers can be charged for sexual assault, kidnapping, and abuse. The population is growing, between 100,000 and 300,000 children are being taken away to work as prostitutes.
Additionally, crime rates increased during this time period. Annie portrayed this through Rooster and his girlfriend. Rooster and his girlfriend were constantly seen stealing anything they could get their hands on. Lastly, during this time period, there was also an increase in prostitution and illegal alcoholism. Both of these illegal acts were portrayed through Miss Hannigan.
There are other reasons as well, but those ones are the big ones. One of the most widely spread influences in business today is Human trafficking. Close to our homes people are being taken. Sadly, we may even know someone who is doing the taking of other people. People have been seriously injured or even caused death by traffickers due to their harsh conditions.
Keeping in mind that human trafficking organizations are now spreading into developing countries which have poorer security and is one of the fastest growing black market, Bearing in mind that human trafficking is the most heinous forms of organized crime and violation of human rights in Europe and the world Bearing in mind that Every year an increasing number of people fall victim of trafficking, mainly for sexual exploitation (43%), but many for underpaid illegal labour. Such trafficking is the modern form of slavery, which treats human beings as a commodity to be bought and sold, to be put to forced labour, usually in the sex industry, but also, for example in agriculture, households, declared or undeclared sweatshops, to be paid a pittance
Your child is then taken from truck stop to truck stop to be used by men. Your child is forced to work in a strip club because they have been told if they tell anyone that bad things will happen to you. Your child was raped to prepare them for what they were going to have to do. Your child is now so emotionally damaged that they are not themselves anymore. They are probably addicted to drugs now because that is something that they were introduced to while they were in these dangerous situations.
The psychological abuse, however, may play the biggest role in what leads to sex trafficking. Traffickers look for young and naïve victims so that they can be easily manipulated. These children have often receive affection through sexual acts, and traffickers use this the gain control and draw the children in. Once they have gained control, they quickly turn to violence (Tiny Hands Int'l, n.d.). Victims are put through a variety of things, like torture, rape, and drugging.
Human trafficking happens for a range of exploitative purposes, which includes exploiting the prostitution of others, sexual exploitation, forced labor, slavery or similar practices and the removal of organs. Sex trafficking includes prostitution, live sex show, mail order brides and sex tourism. Labor trafficking includes bonded labor (which is their labor is demanded as a repayment for a loan or service), forces labor (victims are forced to work against their will, they have to endure the threat of violence or some other forms of punishment), and child labor. All men, women, children at any age can be victims of trafficking. However, most of the victims are women and children.
Human Trafficking in Oklahoma Individuals all over the world are at risk of being abducted and sold into some form of human trafficking or forced prostitution. As a resident of Oklahoma, I am concerned for the safety of my friends and family in regard to this ever-increasing occurrence. Worldwide, human trafficking is the second largest form of organized crime. This is especially true in Oklahoma. Interstate Highways forty, thirty-five, and forty-four all three run through Oklahoma reaching from coast to coast, and from Mexico to Canada.
This study examines the sex offenders while being incarcerated. Imprisoned sex offenders face ridicule because of their offense and they are the most victimized group of prisoners. This study tries to understand how these offenders try to be a part of the general prison population and how their conviction become known among the prison population. 59 interviews of formerly incarcerated men give their stories of how the sex offender passes themselves off as non-sex offenders in the prison environment.
There are cases stacked upon cases that must be attended to daily, while at the same time, crimes are being committed. The court system has trouble keeping up, and in order to cease long, drawn out trials, plea bargaining has been allowed in the criminal justice system. This is useful for both criminally charge individuals along with the courts themselves for several reasons. Most people know the case going on with Jared Fogle, the former representor of Subway. In 2015, Fogle decided to plead guilty to child pornography charges along with crossing state lines to exchange money for sex with a minor (Castillo, 2015).

The legendary tales of the Thousand and One Nights, whose heroine Scheherazade became synonymous with the tales and acquired mythic status within European culture in the early twentieth century, served as the inspiration for the popular and critically acclaimed Ballets Russes Schéhérazade, which premiered in Paris, 1910. My research examines how Ballets Russes audiences confused the production’s femme fatale heroine Zobeida with the peace-making storyteller Scheherazade, who is named in the ballet’s title but eliminated from the plot onstage, and what this confusion suggests about Scheherazade’s status in Paris in the 1910s.

The New Years Eve Grand Dame of Movie Clip Wednesday, Boxer is too busy cleaning eyelashes out of the vodka fountain. So it's the Milk River Madman that continues to take up the mantle that is MCW, the Meme where everyone picks a clip from their favorite movies based on a weekly theme and tries to keep the clip or clips to around 3 minutes long. This week's theme is FAVORITE MOVIE SET IN WINTER. A fairly narrow theme this week and appropriate because of the Nor' Easter that ripped through most of the US and affected just about everyone in some way. From digging out 10" of snow to delayed holiday flights, it let everyone know winter is here.
When I think of winter in movies, I think of war films. War is hell but it's way worse in the winter. A slightly obscure little Navy flick that takes place in the North Atlantic was the first thing that came to mind - 1965's The Bedford Incident. It has a star studded cast including Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier and is about a cat and mouse came played by a US Destroyer and a Soviet submarine in the waters between Iceland and Greenland. A really good movie but I couldn't find a descent clip. I'm sure Karl has seen this one because it's a tension filled Cold-War era Navy movie - and because it's in black and white.
So instead I went with another 1965 war flick - The Battle of the Bulge. Another all-star cast (Henry Fonda, Telly Savalas, Charles Bronsin, Robert Shaw, etc.) with great tank battle scenes (although they are models) and winter ground fighting leading up to the siege of Bastogne. A better representation of that particular battle was in 2002's Band of Brothers, Episode 6 - Bastogne. Interestingly, both of my picks featured James MacArthur (Dano from Hawaii Five-O) who passed away this past year. Here is the movie trailer clip (a little long).

After an amazing start to a new year of Released Time, the program’s teachers and recruiters gathered for a Hakhel lunch to brainstorm how to take the program to the next level.
“It’s all about taking it to the next level,” said Mendel Pink, as he spoke to his fellow Released Time teachers at the exquisite lunch. “Boruch Hashem this past week we got 14 new sign ups to the program, this week we have to get 28.”
The Lunch was held at the home of R’ Moshe Rubashkin and was led by the program’s director Rabbi Shazak Zirkind. “First and foremost, all of you in this room deserve a big ‘thank you.’ The hard work you put in to ignite the Neshamos of the hundreds of children does not go unnoticed,” Rabbi Zirkind said.
Rabbi Zirkind continued to speak on the importance of putting in extra effort to make a lasting effect on the children. During his talk, he shared the following story:
R’ Nachum Gross, a Lubavitcher Chossid was recently stopped on the street by a middle aged man asking him if he was ever a teacher in the Bronx. R’ Nachum replied No, then thought for a moment and said half-jokingly, “but I used to do Released Time there every Wednesday.” Hearing those last words, the middle aged man became a bit tearful and replied “I remember clearly I was in your Released Time class! Thank you so much for everything you taught me, I still remember the love you gave me for Yiddishkeit!”
“The lasting effect the Released Time class has on children is unimaginable,” concluded Rabbi Zirkind, “Now it’s up to all you.”
At the lunch, the Bochurim were informed about the next months’ new initiatives and programs such as the winter Day-camp, Chanumah house parties and Bikur Bayis, the Shabbaton, and a new reward system for the children to encourage their friends to join the program.
The teachers and recruiters left the lunch invigorated and determined to continue growing in their special and holy Shlichus.
Released Time staff and Bochurim give special thanks to R’ Moshe Rubashkin and family for opening their home and being so hospitable.
A family on our makom hashlichus chose to come to us instead of Reform because the mom remembered attending Release Time as a young girl! And I heard a story at the kinus a few years ago about a shlucha who met a young family, and the young mom had had the shlucha’s mom as a Release Time teacher (she still remembered her name a few decades later)! You are planting seeds, and you don’t see the fruit, but we do! Thank you!Share
A chosheveh rabbi at the one of the prominent orthodox organizations told me he became frum through release time.
His father, who was not too excited about release time, was nevertheless moved that the release time teacher walked all the way from crown heights to Bensonhurst to attend his bar mitzvah!Share
Thank you all & NCfJE for what you do for these holy neshomos of young boys and girls. May Hashem bless you allShare

Congress Asked to Continue Support for New Parents at Home
Tuesday, December 16, 2014
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The clock is ticking on federal funding for a program that helps struggling parents with young children.
Unless Congress takes action, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Service's Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting Program will expire in March.
A coalition of 750 organizations and nonprofits, including 22 in Ohio, has sent a letter asking the program continue as it has for decades.
Renuka Mayadev, executive director of the Children's Defense Fund-Ohio, says the concept of home visitations has always had bipartisan support. Research has shown voluntary home visits, usually conducted by nurses or social workers, can prevent serious problems and learning deficits.
"The evidence-based Home Visiting Program has been shown to improve prenatal and birth outcomes and early childhood development," says Mayadev. "Most importantly, it prepares our young children for school."
According to Mayadev, there's another "payoff" to the program. She cites a RAND Corporation report that found home visiting programs saved up to $6.00 for every $1.00 invested.
Mayadev says many parents are very young, experienced abuse or neglect themselves as children, are disconnected from their parents, or have aged out of the foster system. They may also face a variety of financial challenges. She says home-visiting professionals offer non-judgmental support and can help parents be successful in their new role.
"There are many families who are struggling in this economy," she says. "Some are holding one, two, three jobs while taking care of all their children. They could use this support while taking care of a new infant."
The American Academy of Pediatrics, Prevent Child Abuse America, and The Salvation Army are among the national organizations which signed the letter. Ohio signatories to the letter include The Children's Defense Fund, Voices for Ohio's Children, and the Public Children Services Association of Ohio.
Funding nationally has been at about $400 million per year.

Driveway Using Grey Pressed Paving Slabs Orrell Park Liverpool
This project was to transform the front drive and garden, by installing new paving using Marshalls Pressed Paving Flags with Charcoal Driveline 50 block paving dividing every three slabs. We also installed a recessed manhole and a linear drainage system to catch the surface water and send it into a soakaway.
This project was carried out in the Orrell Park area of Liverpool, Merseyside L9.
What Our Customers Say
Abel Landscapes were absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We were given advice by Darren Moss on the best layout for our garden, which included plans for areas we had not even considered. The workforce were so professional and never stopped working for a minute. They cleared up after themselves and left everywhere spick and span. I would thoroughly recommend them.Dianne Young

In the fight against the coronavirus crisis, the German government is proposing strict contact and quarantine restrictions beyond the existing restrictions. In a draft of the draft resolution for today’s video conference of Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) with the Prime Ministers, the German Press Agency states that children and young people should be encouraged to meet only with a steady friend in their free time. Private meetings with friends and acquaintances should generally be limited to a fixed additional household.
According to the federal government’s ideas, in the future only members of one’s own household and a maximum of two persons from another household should be allowed in public. Private celebrations are to be renounced completely up to Christmas. Since November 2, only members of one’s own household and a further household are allowed to be in public, but no more than 10 persons.
Stricter rules in schools
In the future, people should also be quarantined immediately at home for every cold symptom, especially coughs and colds.
In addition, the measures at schools are to be tightened. For example, the wearing of a mouth and nose protector is to be made compulsory for pupils of all age groups and for teachers on school grounds and during lessons. Without exception, there will also be fixed groups of students, whereby the group sizes in classrooms are to be halved compared to normal operation.
