1. A close friend of mine went to the emergency room of a local hospital because of heart palpitations.They had him undress and sit on a cart, sharing space with a large number of other patients. They put a heart monitor on him and took specimens of his blood and urine. After three hours a doctor approached him, complimented him for having a very normal heart beat, and said that the temporary flutter was nothing serious. My friend was discharged; a week later he got a bill for more than $2,000.
I find it hard to accept that such fees are justified. If you don't have health insurance and are unfortunate enough to end up in a hospital for a couple days, be prepared to pay a bill in the five-figure bracket, or be ready to turn over the title to your home. There is something dreadfully wrong with this scenario.
2. The U.S. Office of Public Health Agency for Health Care Policy and Research formed a 23-member panel that chose 200 leading back experts to read all available world literature dealing with the most effective treatments for low back pain. After researching tens of thousands of medical literatures and selecting only the finest scientifically based material, this panel published low back treatment guidelines which criticized excessive surgery and urged more conservative spinal manipulative care.
Four months later the AMA, which I refer to as the American Misinformation Association, instead of accepting the conclusions of a very extensive and high quality study, retained a medical writer and published its own so-called guidelines. The guidelines misrepresented the treatment options for low back pain by conspicuously excluding any reference to spinal manipulation. The outcome is that if any patients sue their surgeons for not following the government guidelines, the attorneys for the defense can use the fallacious AMA guidelines to neutralize the government guidelines. It may not be intellectually honest, but they are apparently getting away with it.
3. The U.S. Justice Department is suing the cigarette companies for causing lung cancer. How about adding the AMA to the suit? It is well-documented that the AMA, as early as 1964, joined with the tobacco industry to keep the public ignorant of the dangers of smoking by refusing to endorse a message on the package of cigarettes which cautioned people of the dangers of smoking, while simultaneously collecting $18 million from the tobacco industry for a so-called "study" on tobacco.
In 1968, the AMA opposed the television ban on cigarette advertising, while at the same time, 95% of the MDs polled in the Medical Tribune agreed that smoking was harmful to health. As far back as 1948, Boyd Pathology, a highly respected medical textbook, clearly stated that coal tar products caused cancers. The medical community and the AMA have known about the hazards of smoking for 50 years, as have the cigarette companies and the politicians. However, politicians conveniently exempted themselves from lawsuits, so it's the kettle calling the pot black when the government sues the tobacco companies. It's hypocritical. Since everyone is in a litigious mood, we might as well countersue all of the lung cancer plaintiffs for filing frivolous lawsuits, since a warning message has been clearly written on every pack of cigarettes that they smoked the past 30 years. It seems like no one wants to take responsibility for their own conduct, preferring to lay blame elsewhere.
4. CBS cited on the network news that there were 80,000 unnecessary disc surgeries done in one year. That's more than 1,500 unnecessary disc surgeries every week, yet where is the national outcry?
5. A study done at the University of Ottawa for the Canadian government compared medical and chiropractic care for back pain. It found that chiropractic care was markedly superior in safety, effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and patient satisfaction.
6. A comparison study of the results of back ailments at two Chicago area hospitals conducted by a Northwestern University professor and medical physician found that chiropractic patients were being released from the orthopedic ward 7-9 days sooner than those getting medical care.
7. Chiropractic in New Zealand, a royal commission report that took 18 months to complete, involved the commission travelling to Australian, the United Kingdom, Canada and the U.S. to assess the most recent developments between chiropractors and other health professionals. The report concluded that chiropractic is a "vital, effective, impressively safe, scientifically based profession ... and should be included in hospitals."
8. A major British government study, using the most scientifically acceptable random controlled clinical trials over a period of 10 years, showed that chiropractic care for low back pain was effective by as much as a 2-to-1 margin of superiority over medical care.
9. The largest HMO in the southeastern United States (AVMED) sent 12 patients diagnosed by its medical staff as needing disc surgery to a chiropractor; all 12 were corrected by the chiropractor without surgery.
10. n Italian government-sponsored survey of 17,142 patients, conducted within 22 medical back pain clinics over a two-year period, showed that chiropractic care reduced hospitalization by 87.6% and work loss by 75.5%. (See Medcine, Monopolies and Malice" for complete documentation.)
In light of the above examples from America and around the world, can anyone explain to me on what basis more than 99% of the hospitals in America shut out chiropractic services? Can anyone justify by what bizarre standard this can be considered ethical, proper or acceptable in health care? Does this make any sense at all? If not, can we allow this outrageous polarization to continue without candidly speaking out?
If the U.S. Justice Department has ever had cause to enter in a lawsuit against organized medicine based on fraud by omission, it's now. Then why doesn't it act? Aside from the politicians who may be in the back pocket of organized medicine, I believe many of them are simply afraid to encourage the Justice Department to take action because they don't want to be made to appear foolish in an area where they lack expertise. Medical doctors speak a mysterious and frightening medical jargon which intimidates legislators from challenging the accuracy or good judgment of the medical establishment. Hence, they back off and give the medics free run to do as they wish, which may not always be honest or in the best interest of the public. This is why political medicine has gotten away with so many illegal things through the years and has viewed itself as a quasi-government, immune to challenge or criticism.
The federal court was not fooled or intimidated in the Wilk et al. v AMA et al. lawsuit when it said that the AMA was: "not objectively reasonable ... could not be trusted beyond its next confrontation ... its evidence was incredible and unworthy of belief ... it is guilty of systematic long term wrongdoing ... never acknowledged the lawlessness of its past conduct."
The court was charitable with its words. We could rephrase the court's conclusion more candidly and say that the AMA's conduct was that of a stupid, untrustworthy, lying, chronic unrepenting lawbreaker. It is sad to think that this has been the character of a very powerful and influential force in American health care, with its prejudices and barriers to rational health care.
Chiropractic has a chance to become the nation's conscience for closer cooperation and rational utilization of all health care disciplines. It should be obvious by now that objectivity won't come from the AMA or the pharmaceutical industry. Chiropractors are trained to communicate the principles of health care from a natural perspective without drugs. We can provide the public another option, more balanced kind of health care. The medics don't have an exclusive on health care matters anymore. We need an army of well-prepared chiropractors willing to approach the legislators and tell it like it is, and be willing to support it with highly credible facts.
This approach is not for the timid at heart, but there should be enough principled chiropractors out there willing to stand up and fight for the truth. Prepare yourself with the facts and then tell your legislators that they'll not stand alone; that they will have you and solid facts on their side; and that truth must ultimately prevail. Who knows, maybe Congress and/or the U.S. Justice Department may eventually see the light and take action.
Look at the above facts. I challenge you to ask yourself if what is happening in health care today isn't a national disgrace. Do we owe it to our profession to set the record straight for the millions of patients who could use this valuable care but haven't tried it because of ignorance and misinformation? I believe we do, because when we have been given the ability it becomes a responsibility! There is no better time than now to stand up and fight for the truth. Contact the media and legislators and give them the facts. My book Medicine, Monopolies and Malice provides the documentation for all of this information. You may wish to give your legislators or local talk show hosts a copy. They may interview you. We have a powerful message begging to be told, and if we don't tell it, it's the same as if it never happened. Let's make it happen before it's too late.

The Standard Fruit Company announced this Tuesday the closure of two banana farms in Costa Rica and the dismissal of 111 workers due to the fall of the dollar against the local currency.
The company indicated in a statement that the farms are located in the province of Limón (Caribbean) and that the workers were paid their respective compensations and some were offered work on other farms or temporary contracts.
“It seems that neither the productive sector nor employment in agricultural areas is something that the Central Bank is taking into account and there have been no actions to balance what is happening, despite there being tools available to counteract it,” the statement said. the signature.
The company maintains a fruit production and export operation in Costa Rica that employs 8,000 people directly and 50,000 indirectly.
The company assured that the dollar situation in Costa Rica is generating a lack of competitiveness in the productive sector, which is being taken advantage of by other competing countries.
In recent months, various productive sectors have asked the Government and the Central Bank for actions to stabilize the dollar exchange rate, which has been plummeting since mid-2022 to reach values not seen for more than a decade.
The dollar reached its peak on July 1, 2022 when it was trading at 693.69 colones, but since then it began to decline until it stood at 516.86 at the end of January 2024, which represents a variation of 25%.
This Tuesday the dollar is trading at 521.79 colones.
Other sectors that have complained about the appreciation of the colon with respect to the dollar are the National Chamber of Tourism, the Costa Rican Coffee Institute, industrial entrepreneurs and others in agriculture.
The president of Costa Rica, Rodrigo Chaves, has said that the situation reflects the strength of the economy and the local currency, while the president of the Central Bank, Roger Madrigal, has defended the entity’s monetary policy and has also assured that the rate The exchange rate reflects the reality of the market.

struggling untuk ape?
some struggles to find love, some struggles for money, some struggles for the loved ones who are suffering with illnesses, some struggles in studying, some struggles to reach the work/study place without traffic jam, some struggles to hold their family together, some struggles with undefined emotion, some struggles with the unknown/unseen..some struggles to stay alive, some struggles to get a child, some struggles to find themselves, some struggles.....and the list go on~
whateve kind of struggling we are in, its there for a reason...how much we hated the feelings of having to struggle, it gives meaning to our life...it creates who we are...makes us realize that in life, we can never be on top always...it opens our eyes to the circumstances that other people have to face and allows us to empathize with them because we have been in their shoes before...it's there because its a way that Allah shows us that He's the one who owns our life and its within His hands to challenge our iman and faith towards Him...and to see if we believe with His promises that all the hardship that He gives to us is always within our own limitation, that He is not being unfair to us and that with all the hardship, He also creates solutions to each problems..
whateve kind of struggling we are all in, remember that you are never alone in this world...there's always at least one person who really cares for us and if you still don't realize it, go back to Him who creates you..hold on just a little longer...open your heart and allow others to help you thru your hardship...never give up because if we did, we might make others to give up hope too...you might feel that life is torturing you, but remember, just remember that there are people out there who is suffering even worse than we are...life could have been worse for us, so be gracious that Allah still loves us and reminds us with all this struggling so that we'll never forget Him..go back to Him for He is the most merciful and beneficient..
you might feel that life is worthless...but bear in mind, that dying does not promise an easier process..and dying does not solve your problems and even takes away all your possible chances to make life better for you...(unless you die because its already your time to go...)
you might wanna change some parts of your life or even live other people's life...but do you think that other's life is any better than yours even it seems so...? don't you ever wonder that someone out there might wanna live your life? your life is very valuable because you have your personal experience that others might never have...how bitter the experience is, once you're able to overcome it, you'll realize how great it felt to be able to underwent a terrible hardship and still standing tall...so don't ever think of changing your life with others...unless for more positive ways..
dear friends and family out there, we fought to live everyday..even to breath in and out...we fought to keep ourselves alive from the moment we were born without us realizing it...so why give up now? why allow the faith to die now?
keep going on because its our nature to fight on~without fighting, life is colorless...

What Is Listeria?
Listeria is a type of bacteria found in contaminated food and soil that can cause serious health issues, including severe illnesses such as meningitis, sepsis, and pneumonia. The bacteria has also been known to cause miscarriages, premature births, and stillbirths. As a result, pregnant women are warned to take extra precautions when it comes to their food choices and hygiene habits.
How Common Is Listeria in Pregnancy?
The good news is that listeria is actually quite rare, especially in the United States. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the risk of listeriosis (contracting the infection from a food source) is low during pregnancy. In fact, it’s estimated that roughly one in every 100 pregnancies will result in a listeria infection.
However, the CDC does note that pregnant women are 10 times more likely to contract listeriosis than the general population, so it’s important to take steps to reduce your risk.
How To Reduce Your Risk For Listeria
Foods to Avoid
There are a few types of food that should be avoided entirely, including:
- Unpasteurized milk and milk products
- Deli meats, hot dogs, and other ready-to-eat foods
- Refrigerated smoked seafood
Foods to Eat Safely
Some foods must be cooked or reheated thoroughly before they are safe to eat. This includes food items such as:
- Raw fish, poultry, and other meats
- Soft-serve ice cream
It’s important to make sure your food has been cooked to the recommended temperature to kill any bacteria. Use a reliable food thermometer to check.
Good Hygiene Habits
- Always wash your hands after handling raw foods or animals.
- Be sure to wash all food before consuming it.
- Avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen by using different cutting boards and utensils for raw and cooked food.
- Keep foods refrigerated at the right temperature (40 ˚F or below)
- Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly.
- Throw away any food that is past its expiry date.
Taking these steps can help reduce your risk of listeria during pregnancy. However, it’s always a good idea to be extra cautious and speak with your doctor or healthcare provider about any concerns you may have.
Welcome to my fertility blog. This is a space where I will be sharing my experiences as I navigate through the world of fertility treatments, as well as provide information and resources about fertility and pregnancy.

A Wisconsin state judge has invalidated a school district’s informal policy of affirming a student’s request to transition to a different gender identity, including adopting a new name and pronouns, without parental consent and over parents’ objections.
The ruling is the latest in a wave of conflicting court decisions addressing LGBTQ+ and gender identity issues in public schools, including a recent federal appeals court decision blocking a school district’s policy requiring respect for students’ gender identities, though other courts have sided with transgender students on a range of issues.
Judge Michael P. Maxwell of Waukesha County Circuit Court grounded his decision in parents’ rights, under the 14th Amendment’s due-process clause and the state constitution, to direct the upbringing of their children. But he emphasized that he was basing that holding on parents’ right to make medical and health care decisions for their children, not their right to direct their children’s education.
“This is undisputedly a medical and healthcare issue,” Maxwell said in his Oct. 3 decision in T.F. v. Kettle Moraine School District. “As such, the school district went against the parents’ wishes on how to medically treat their child. This directly implicates an infringement against the parental autonomy right to direct the care for their child.”
The ruling stems from a lawsuit filed against the 3,600-student Kettle Moraine district by the parents of the student identified as “T.F.,” who was assigned female at birth and at age 12 in 2020 began questioning their gender, court papers say. The parents withdrew their child from the Kettle Moraine district and enrolled them in a mental health center, which affirmed that they were a transgender boy and encouraged them to transition.
As T.F. prepared to return to school, the parents told school officials that they did not support an immediate gender transition for their child and they wanted the school to use T.F.’s legal name and female pronouns.
The lawsuit says the school principal informed the parents that school staff members would refer to T.F. by whatever name and pronouns the student requested, even over the parents’ objections. The parents withdrew T.F. from the school district, and their suit contends T.F. later chose not to transition to male.
The parents, along with another family, sued the district with the aid of the Wisconsin Institute for Law and Liberty and the Alliance Defending Freedom, a national group that has battled transgender-supportive policies in schools and asserted religious rights in the U.S. Supreme Court.
Their suit cited only a parental rights claim under the Wisconsin Constitution, though it describes that parental right to direct the upbringing of their children are intertwined with U.S. Supreme Court decisions upholding such a right under the 14th Amendment.
The judge has some critical words for the school district
In striking down the district’s informal, unwritten policy, Maxwell cited affidavits introduced by the plaintiffs from two physicians who asserted it would be unsound to allow a child to have gender roles that were different at home and at school. The judge also credited the doctors’ assertions that no professional medical organization has suggested that a school district should address a child’s “alternative gender identity without parental consent and buy-in.”
“The school district could not administer medicine to a student without parental consent,” the judge said. “The school district could not require or allow a student to participate in a sport without parental consent. Likewise, the school district cannot change the pronoun of a student without parental consent without impinging on a fundamental liberty interest of the parents.”
Maxwell noted that the school district defended its actions in part as based on a fear that not respecting the name and pronouns T.F. sought to use might place it in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the federal law that bars sex discrimination in federally funded schools.
Several guidance documents and a proposed formal regulation from President Joe Biden’s administration interpreting Title IX call on schools to respect transgender students’ gender identities. Maxwell noted that a federal district judge in Texas has blocked the informal guidance letters. He said that other recent federal court rulings have not clearly established that a school district would violate Title IX by failing to recognize a transgender student’s name and pronouns.
“The school district has hidden behind claims of no parental right or unfounded Title IX issues rather than give parents in their district what they deserve—clear guidance on how the district intends to handle these controversial issues,” the judge said.
In a statement, Kettle Moraine Superintendent Stephen Plum said the district “will continue to work with all students, parents, guardians, and staff to clarify expectations. We respect the rights of parents and require written parental consent if and when using student names or pronouns that are at odds with their sex at birth.”

SoCal’s housing market sees slowest September in over a decade
Sales were down by all metrics, according to a new report by CoreLogic
Rising prices and interest rates led to the slowest September for existing home and condo sales in Southern California in over a decade.
A total of 17,369 homes sold last month, the lowest level since 2007 and 21.8 percent lower than historical averages for the month, according to the latest data from CoreLogic. The report looked at sales in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Ventura counties.
Compared to last year, there was a 17.7 percent dip across the region. Sales dropped on a monthly basis as well — the 21.9 percent drop from August is more than twice the 9.8 percent average drop seen between those months. That continues a rare slowing trend over the summer that has been seen just five times in the last 20 years.
The dips in Los Angeles County were more dramatic. Sales fell 19.3 percent year-over-year and 25 percent month-over-month. The median sales price was $595,000, up 3.5 percent year-over-year.
Regionally, the data on sales prices reflects slowing growth. The median sales price for the month was $523,000, down from the all-time high of $537,000 seen in June. While prices are still higher than a year ago, the gain from September 2017 was the smallest seen in three years. CoreLogic said that represents a cooler market and a higher percentage of total sales in more affordable areas of the region.
Mortgage rates are climbing around the country as the Federal Reserve hikes the benchmark interest rate. Mortgage rates hit nearly 5 percent this month — the highest level in seven years — forcing some prospective buyers to pull back.

After completing the work on the Great Smog of London (see previous post) you may think that pollution from coal burning is a problem from history that we have largely been able to manage. However, earlier this year, as bush fires raged around Gippsland, the Hazelwood coal mine caught alight and burned for over a month. Firefighters were warned that too much water would interrupt the state’s electricity supply and smoke from the fire inundated Morwell and Taralgon. Read the following articles and do some research to answer the following questions:
- Air quality continues to deteriorate as fire burns - ABC news 9/2/2014
- Hazelwood fire now under control - ABC news 10/3/2014
- Hazelwood coal fire health impacts – Australasian Science
- Q&A on the Latrobe Valley mine fire - EPA site
- What organisation is responsible for monitoring air quality in the state?
- What are at least five pollutants mentioned that have effects on human health?
- Look up these pollutants on the National Pollutant Inventory and draw a table showing the characteristics of the pollutant and the human health impacts.
- What are the health effects of exposure to these pollutants?
- What groups of people are particularly vulnerable to these pollutants?
This term we will be doing an experiment to observe the effects of sulfur dioxide on various materials (YouTube video). Please organise a time with your supervising teacher to complete this practical work. You will be required to write up and submit the experimental report.

St. John’s assistant Matt Abdelmassih is the rare coach who does as much of his recruiting on the phone as he does on the road. A pre-eminent figure on the NCAA transfer market, Abdelmassih has turned giving talented high-major players a fresh start into a cottage industry.
“I haven’t had one transfer who has underachieved in my time on the bench, whether it be going on to the NBA or high-level overseas leagues,” Abdelmassih says. “I’m not going to arrogantly say that I’m the best transfer recruiter in the country, but the results do speak volumes.”
He doesn’t have to say it. His peers are saying it for him. Two years ago, in an ESPN survey of coaches, Abdelmassih, 33, was cited as the most effective recruiter of transfers in the country. Since becoming an assistant at Iowa State in 2010, Abdelmassih has landed more than 20 transfers, and most have made a significant impact on the program upon hitting the court.
“There’s something to be said for giving a kid his last chance and him only having this one chance to make it work,” Abdelmassih says. “Failure is not an option anymore. I’ve always taken a lot of pride in giving those kids that chance.”
Becoming a top recruiter of transfers requires an advanced degree in backchannel communications. NCAA rules prohibit coaches from contacting a player with another program or his immediate family members, so establishing a relationship with a prospective transfer’s outer circle — i.e., his high school or grassroots coaches — is key. When Abdelmassih started at Iowa State, he would hear whispers about a player being unsettled in a situation and get on the phone to make inroads within those outer circles. Now, he says, players’ camps reach out to him.

In a world filled with constant noise and distractions, hearing the sound of silence may seem paradoxical. Yet, recent research reveals that we can actually hear it!
A recent study conducted by researchers from Johns Hopkins University has provided fascinating insights into the perception that we can hear silence.
The study aimed to settle a long-standing debate on whether silence can be considered a form of auditory experience. Did you know that silence is something you can hear?
Can You Hear The Sound Of Silence? Scientists Suggest You Can
Traditionally, we think of hearing as the process of perceiving sounds. However, silence is not a sound itself but rather the absence of sound. The study’s lead author, Rui Zhe Goh, a graduate student in philosophy and psychology at Johns Hopkins, explains that their work suggests that silence, surprisingly, can be “heard” as something.
To investigate this further, the researchers used auditory illusions, such as the one-is-more illusion, to conduct their experiments. They introduced periods of pure silence amidst these tests and observed how participants’ brains responded compared to when they encountered conventional, noisy illusion of silence.
According to Chaz Firestone, an assistant professor of psychological and brain sciences and co-author of the study, philosophers have debated whether silence can be perceived, but no scientific study has directly addressed this question.
By examining whether the brain treats silences in the same way it treats sounds, the researchers aimed to shed light on the matter.
Read more here: The Wisdom of Silence: Learning to Talk Less and Say More
The study involved 1,000 participants who underwent seven different tests. Surprisingly, the researchers found that participants’ brains reacted to silence in the same way they reacted to noise across all tests. This finding suggests that we do indeed perceive silence, even though it represents the absence of any audible stimuli.
The study’s results revealed that silences could “substitute” for sounds in event-based auditory illusions.
The researchers observed temporal distortions in participants’ perception during silences, similar to those experienced with sound-based illusions. These findings indicate that auditory processing treats moments of silence as it treats sounds, providing evidence that silence is genuinely perceived rather than merely inferred.
Ian Phillips, a philosopher and psychologist at Johns Hopkins and co-author of the study, emphasizes that the illusions and effects typically associated with auditory processing of sounds can also occur with silences. This suggests that our perception extends to the absence of sound as well.
While the study’s silences were embedded within various soundscapes, which should be noted as a limitation, the results are still compelling.

Considering the historical significance of the debate surrounding the perception of silence, this research provides valuable insights. So, next time your words seem to echo in the wells of silence, remember that silence is something you can hear indeed!

The Hermione Granger of 'Harry Potter' film series and her on-screen love interest look cheerful when joined by other co-stars to pose ahead of the movie premiere.
Harry, Ron and Hermione discuss their plan upon learning that Lord Voldemort knew they have broken into Gringotts and taken one of the Horcruxes.
The actor who plays Ron Weasley in the 'Harry Potter' series admits that his character's long awaited kiss with Hermione Granger in the final movie is likely to be 'a bit of an anticlimax.'
Come inside the spooky place deep inside Gringotts with Harry, Ron and Hermione as they break in and try to recover Voldemort's Horcrux.
In their effort to end Voldemort's power and immortality, Ron and Hermione open the door to the Secret and Chambers to get to the Basilisk skeleton.
In another video for 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II', Daniel Radcliffe states that Ralph Fiennes' Voldemort 'starts to losing his mind' when the protagonist destroys the Horcruxes.
Matthew Lewis explains that there are times in 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II' when his character is 'instructing the students what to do, where to go.'
The video from the last 'Harry Potter' film has been unleashed, showing cuts of interviews with some cast members, and giving a better look at Molly Weasley who protects her daughter from Bellatrix.
In addition to offering the two-part event for $20, AMC Theaters is going to show 'Harry Potter' film series in chronological order leading to the premiere of 'Deathly Hallows: Part 2'.
The newly-unveiled snippet opens with a scene of Lily Potter whispering to baby Harry and moves to some new footage, including when Dementors hover above corpses.
Voldemort, along with Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy and the other Death Eaters, is ready to fight against Harry and his army on a newly-released one-sheet.
Take a look at blood-and-dirt-clad Harry who leads Hermione, Ron and the rest of wizarding community on a new badass poster for the fantasy film.

The Palestinian Truth Tour delivers unfiltered information about life in Palestine from the perspectives and voices of artists and activists.An eclectic cast is involved in the St. Petersburg tour stop, taking place from 4 to 6:30 p.m. April 27, at the offices of the African People's Education and Defense Fund.
Best reason to attend: You'll learn something the nightly news neglected to tell you.
Two videos are being screened: Meen Erhabe, a music video for the Palestinian hip-hop group Dam, and No One Need Cry, a 34-minute documentary shot just after the Jenin massacre, a two-week Israeli assault on Jenin, West Bank, which resulted in the deaths of more than 80 Palestinians and Israelis. Filmmaker Maren Karlitsky documented the scene in April 2002 while events were, to some extent, still happening. Without narration, the film allows Palestinians to tell their own stories, and the camera sees what they see.
North Carolina artist Ellen O'Grady, who lived and worked in the West Bank and Gaza from 1989 to 1996, shares paintings and stories from her eight-week trip last summer to the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Grady returned to the area last July and August with the International Solidarity Movement on their Freedom Summer campaign.
Nijmie Dzurinko, a youth organizer and Arab-American activist from Philadelphia, reads poems and stories resulting from her three months in Palestine, working with the International Women's Peace Service.
Jerusalem-born activist Ora Wise performs spoken word. Wise is one of the organizers of this year's National Student Conference in Solidarity with Palestine.
Singer/songwriter Gabriella Callender performs her fierce, revolutionary tunes. Callender, the musical director of the women of color performance group Mahina Movement, has performed throughout her home state of New York and across the country.
It's important to note that the tour has an overarching message of peace and solidarity. Diverse organizations working for Middle East peace have volunteers offering information. Participating groups include the International Women's Peace Service; Voices in the Wilderness (info on Iraq); and the International Solidarity Movement, a Palestinian-led coalition of citizens from around the world concerned with human rights in Palestine.
The event's sponsor is Citizens United for Shared Prosperity & the African People's Socialist Party. It's endorsed by the Florida Alliance for Peace & Social Justice, the American Indian Movement, the African People's Solidarity Committee and others. The African People's Education and Defense Fund is located at 1245 18th Ave. S., St. Petersburg. For more information, call 727-821-2437.

Journal article Open Access
Bruce Cohen of the University of Auckland offers a comprehensive Marxist critique of the business of mental health, demonstrating how the prerogatives of neoliberal capitalism for productive, self-governing citizens have allowed the discourse on mental illness to expand beyond the psychiatric institution into many previously untouched areas of public and private life including the home, school and the workplace.
Through historical and contemporary analysis of psy-professional knowledge-claims and practices, Cohen shows how the extension of psychiatric authority can only be fully comprehended through the systematic theorising of power relations within capitalist society. From schizophrenia and hysteria to ADHD and borderline personality disorder, from spinning chairs and lobotomies to shock treatment and antidepressants, from the incarceration of working class women in the 19th century to the torture of prisoners of the ‘war on terror’ in the 21st, Psychiatric Hegemony is an uncompromising account of mental health ideology in neoliberal society.
In this interview Cohen addresses some of the aspects of his recent book. He concludes that the psychiatric discourse has become hegemonic, a situation in which ‘we have all become implicated as subjects at risk of mental disorder’.

Princeton basketball deserves a real crowd; time for university to be fair
PRINCETON - As the Princeton men’s basketball team rallied from 17 points down to pull within two against Yale Saturday night, the crowd was hooting and stomping, and the energy clearly transferred to the Tigers.
It was only 241 people, but context is everything. After averaging 60 fans for their first four Ivy League home games due to a restrictive university policy, this felt like a packed house.
“It’s been dead, completely dead, so this is nice,” Princeton coach Mitch Henderson said afterward.
Princeton wound up losing this thriller to Yale 80-74, its first conference defeat after a 5-0 start. The Tigers had won 10 straight games, the third-longest streak in Division I. The last time they were this good, in 2017, they were drawing 3,000-plus per game at Jadwin Gym.
But since COVID began spiking in December, the university restricted attendance to members of the campus community — no outsiders — through the end of January. The policy was loosened a bit before the Yale game to include family members of players and coaches.
“It’s definitely a huge difference,” said Princeton guard Jaelin Llewellyn, who tallied 23 points, six rebounds and five assists vs. Yale. “We have to find the energy ourselves because it’s us that has to (do the playing), but seeing people you know and care about in the crowd, it’s really a morale booster.”
Imagine the home-court edge Princeton would have had with a real crowd Saturday night.
It’s time for the university to give its athletes a fair shake. It’s bad enough the Ivy League shut down sports for the 2020-21 school year. It’s bad enough that, unlike several of its league-mates, Princeton won’t compensate for that by allowing postgraduates to suit up. How explosive would the Tigers be with forward Ryan Schweiger, who is averaging 9.8 points after transferring to mid-major power Loyola-Chicago for his postgraduate season?
It’s bad enough that Harvard, which had been the vanguard of the shut-it-down movement, joined the real world and welcomed back all spectators Jan. 25.
Princeton will be updating its policy early this week. Unfortunately, there are just two home games left. Still, two games with a real crowd is better than none.
This Tigers team has the pieces — a dynamic point guard, shooters, a quality big man — to do something special. At Princeton, that never will be a sufficient argument to change the rules. But this should be: These student-athletes have sacrificed a ton, way more than their peers at other colleges, to put on the uniform.
No one is asking the university to change their vaccination checks, or mask mandate, or do anything that would irk epidemiologists.
Two years into this pandemic, here’s a simple plea from someone who has witnessed fans returning to rec leagues, high school games and college arenas across New Jersey.
Let them hear the cheers.

Freedom is on the ballot in 2024
By Debbie Cox Bultan and Congresswoman Annie Kuster, The Hill
With another election year upon us, it is time for Americans to decide which candidates best represent their values.
As leaders of the nearly 100 member New Democrat Coalition, one of the largest blocs of House Democrats, and NewDEAL Leaders, a group of nearly 200 forward-looking state and locally elected Democrats, we recognize the stark differences between our pragmatic approach to politics and the chaotic, backward tenets of the GOP.
As we look to November 2024, we urge Democrats to unite around a core strategy: Focus on how Democrats are committed to protecting our fundamental freedoms while Republicans work to derail Americans’ most basic rights.
Our groups jointly released our 2024 Freedom Agenda, a comprehensive playbook laying out the guiding principles that will shape our policy priorities into the future. It calls for Democrats to avoid the distractions of the 24-hour news cycle and instead underscore how our Democratic values resonate with Americans in every state and ZIP code.
Our Freedom Agenda focuses on three core American values: freedom of opportunity, freedom in communities, and freedom through democracy.
First, freedom of opportunity refers to the ability of Americans to achieve their dreams, including making deeply personal choices about their health care, whom they love, and where they live. To achieve these goals, Americans must have access to strong local economies, good schools, affordable housing, transportation and high-quality health care.
In Congress, Democrats are fighting for these opportunities through legislation that New Dems helped usher into law, like the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and targeted funding for child care. State and local leaders are embracing this federal funding, coupling it with state funding to prioritize affordable housing, expand access to broadband, and invest in underserved communities.
At the ballot box, Americans have consistently voted for candidates who prioritize freedom of opportunity while rejecting extremist Republicans. In 2022, we saw voters embrace candidates who are fighting to protect Americans’ ability to make deeply personal health care decisions, including access to abortion. For Democrats, that means fighting Republican efforts to curtail access to birth control and passing legislation like the Women’s Health Protection Act to ensure abortion care is legal and accessible in every state.
Second, Americans deserve the freedom to live in a safe and strong community. Gathering places — from malls to movie theaters to schools — should be free from discrimination and violence, especially gun violence. In Congress, New Dems successfully passed the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, the most significant gun violence prevention legislation in a generation. Our members will continue to support pragmatic gun safety policies at the state and federal levels.
Freedom in your community also includes access to clean air and drinking water while living without the fear of extreme weather devastating your home. House Democrats passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) in 2022 to lower health care and energy costs, and now state and local officials are putting this legislation to work in their communities to strengthen our electric grid, grow the clean energy economy, and create high-quality jobs.
We’re seeing the impact of this legislation across the country. In Phoenix, Mayor Kate Gallego praised the law for bringing high-paying jobs to her city in clean energy industries. Residents are “excited about being able to reduce those energy bills, whether it is solar on your roof or getting a more efficient air conditioner or heat pump,” Gallego said on the law’s first anniversary.
Finally, New Dems and NewDEAL Leaders are deeply committed to protecting and preserving freedom through democracy. We saw in the 2022 midterms how clearly voters rejected anti-democratic, far-right Republican candidates who refused to acknowledge the results of the last presidential election. On the heels of the third anniversary of the Jan. 6 insurrection on our Capitol and as former President Trump continues to tout the “Big Lie” ahead of the 2024 election, it’s more important than ever that we speak out against anti-democratic rhetoric.
From federal legislation such as the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to state measures in Michigan, Minnesota, and New Mexico, New Dems and NewDEAL Leaders are working to ensure elections are fair, voting is easy, and both parties respect the results — win or lose. We reject the use of violence, whether it is used to harass local election workers or in an attempted effort to prevent the peaceful transfer of power.
It’s clear that at every level of government, Democrats are the true defenders of Americans’ fundamental freedoms, while Republicans are working to take them away.
In 2024, just as we did in 2022, we must demonstrate the stark contrast between Democrats and Republicans. Let’s embrace the pragmatic, solutions-oriented candidates who preserve and strengthen our freedoms and reject those who abandon our values in pursuit of power. The decision couldn’t be clearer.
Annie Kuster represents New Hampshire’s 2nd District and is chair of the New Democrat Coalition. Debbie Cox Bultan is NewDEAL CEO.

The Soul of the Black Earth: Contemporary printmaking from the Heilongjiang Province
23 Jul 2018 – 31 Aug 2018
Monday - Friday, 9am - 5pm
Cost of entry
- Oxford Brookes University
- Headington Campus, Gipsy Lane
- OX3 0BP
- United Kingdom
An exhibition of contemporary Chinese woodblock prints. The exhibition, a One Belt and One Road project will provide a chance to look back on a momentous and critical 60-year history of the Heilongjiang province in China.
This summer, The Soul of the Black Earth, an exhibition of contemporary Chinese woodblock prints, will be presented to the Glass Tank by the Confucius Institute at Oxford Brookes University and the Heilongjiang Provincial Museum of Art in China. The exhibition, a One Belt and One Road project will provide a chance to look back on a momentous and critical 60-year history of the Heilongjiang province in China. The Soul of the Black Dragon River seeks to tell the story of four generations of printmakers. Each print in the exhibition is a document of modern Chinese history and is a reflection of the souls of their makers and the character of Heilongjiang, the Black Earth.
To tell this story we must start in 1958 when thousands of soldiers, demobilised by the Korean War, were sent to Heilongjiang. Their purpose was to transform the Heilongjiang wasteland into prosperous farmland. Yet, amongst the soldiers were many amateur artists who took the fertility of the land and the momentum of socialist realism as inspiration for new, innovative work. These printmakers became pioneers for their use of landscape and inventive utilisation of distinctive printmaking techniques. Generation after generation gave way to new artists, each one as inspired by the political and economic disturbances as the next. Each generation passed on developments to the next, but the artists never failed to produce works characteristic of the Heilongjiang region and with a sense of their own soul.
There are now 200 active printmakers in Heilongjiang, their styles are as versatile as ever and their achievements continue to gain international recognition.
Organised by the Glass Tank, Confucius Institute at Oxford Brookes University and the Heilongjiang Provincial Art Museum in China, we would like to warmly invite you to The Soul of the Black Earth and to share in our story with us.
During the exhibition woodblock printing workshops will be organised for the public to participate in. Dates of these workshops will be announced closer to the time.
The Soul of the Black Earth: Contemporary printmaking from the Heilongjiang Provincial Museum of Art in China will be shown from Monday 23 July – 31 August 2018 in the Glass Tank gallery at Oxford Brookes University.

Reality bites for Rangers
QPR 0 Hull City 1
QUEENS PARK RANGERS made an inauspicious start on their return to the Premier League.
After a first half in which Harry Redknapp’s side seemed to be taking the initiative, there followed a second half in which they gave away a goal through poor defending, missed a penalty and were thwarted by the defiant goalkeeping of Hull City’s Allan McGregor.
Six minutes into the second half Hull scored an unexpected and eventually decisive goal; it provided them with the confidence that they had lacked in the first half. The goal came when their substitute, Stephen Quinn, took an inswinging corner from the right, Rio Ferdinand failed to pick up his opposing centre-back, James Chester, whose header beat Rob Green for the only goal.

CBC reports, "A group protesting against the Energy East pipeline conversion will strap on skis and snowshoes this weekend to 'walk the line', as they attempt to travel at 20 km stretch of the gas pipeline northeast of Thunder Bay."
"The two-day trek includes representatives of First Nations, Citizens United for a Sustainable Planet, the local chapter of the Council of Canadians, Lakehead University, and members of the public."
"Organizer Paul Berger said the TransCanada pipeline conversion project is out of sight and out of mind for many Canadians, and this trek is meant to raise an awareness of the group’s concerns."
"Berger said the pipe crosses all major rivers that flow into Lake Superior."
The article notes, "The protestors will make the 20 km trek from the Black Sturgeon River to Nipigon."
Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow, Eriel Deranger of the Athabasca Fort Chipewyan First Nation, and a local speaker will be in Thunder Bay to speak against the pipeline on April 9. For more information about that event, please click here.
At 1.1 million barrels per day, the Energy East pipeline would be bigger than the Keystone XL pipeline (830,000 bpd), the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion (from its current 300,000 bpd to 890,000 bpd), and the Northern Gateway pipeline (525,000 bpd). According to a Pembina Institute study, Energy East would lead to the creation of 30 million to 32 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year.
Council of Canadians chairperson Maude Barlow has commented, "The Energy East pipeline would pose serious threats to local water supplies and communities along the route. The option then to export to the much larger and more profitable markets of India, China and Europe with massive tankers from the deep water port is also a major concern of ours."
It is expected that TransCanada will seek approval from the National Energy Board for the pipeline this summer. The portion of the Energy East pipeline to Quebec could be converted by 2017, the pipeline extension to New Brunswick could be completed and operational by 2018.

Bringing his lifelong passion for two wheels, dirt and the state of Arizona, Dan Hayakawa joins the Speed and Sport Adventures team with a vast array of adventure skills. From his earliest days on BMX bikes, to an expert level mountain bike racer before moving on to dirt bike racing, Dan’s enthusiasm, passion and smile will always stand out when you are around him.
Dan’s background in BMX and MTB helped him rapidly develop his skills in motorcycle racing. Despite a late start on dirt bikes in his 30s, he quickly moved through the skill ranks in the Arizona off road championships and has won several Vet and Senior expert off-road championships.
Moving on to racing the national AMA EnduroCross series Hayakawa is a constant podium contender in the Vet class where he's pursuing a national championship. In addition, Dan competes in the new AMA Extreme Championship enduro series and really enjoys this emerging series that requires insane levels of fitness as well as the highest level of technical skills.
A lifelong resident of Arizona, Hayakawa is passionate about the opportunities the state provides for recreation and dedicated several years of his life serving as president and in other leadership positions in the Arizona Motorcycle Riders Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to responsible off-road riding and racing in Arizona.
Outside of racing motorcycles, Dan also rides trials motorcycles to keep those technical skills sharp and rides his KTM 790 Adventure bike on fun adventures with best bud Destry Abbott (they quip about their own little motorcycle gang called “Heck’s Angels”). Dan serves on the board of the DA8Strong Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life of cancer patients through charitable support, recreation and services.
In between motorcycle races and adventures, Dan’s 25+ year career in Information Technology keeps him plenty busy (and funds the two-wheeled passion). His techie nature means he’s usually the go-to gadget geek and is usually the first to try out a piece of technology on or off the motorcycle.
Dan is a dedicated family man and resides in Phoenix with his wife Silvia and their now adult children Raven and Kai. He enjoys traveling with his family to exciting destinations, is obsessed with grilling and eating delicious food with his family and is always in pursuit of the next adventure!
