She discovered a lump in her right breast in June 2019. She suspected that something was happening and “out of fear, ignorance or a bad feeling”, as she admits, she decided not to tell her family about it. Alicia Berth (59) came to believe that not thinking about it would be enough for the lump that she felt to the touch to disappear. It was not so. That lump continued to grow in her chest, and by December, when she finally discussed it with her children, the tumor had metastasized to her liver.
As soon as they knew what Alicia was suffering in silence, they took her to the hospital and after several studies a doctor confirmed the suspicions: the tumor was malignant, suffered from breast cancer and had a vital organ taken. With the clear diagnosis, he had to urgently start treatment and in January of this year began chemotherapy, which continued despite the quarantine.
However, he says that since May the medical coverage of the The Federal Include Health Program -which depends on the Ministry of Health of the Nation- does not send one of the three drugs necessary for this treatment, essential for you to aspire to improve your quality of life. A few months earlier, a study revealed that the combination of these three drugs was effective because it decreased the size of the tumors, so her family demands through the courts that they continue to deliver it to her. 6 days after the next chemotherapy, there are no favorable responses and she does not know if the blister will arrive in time.
“I have not received all the medication I need for three months. In July, thanks to a person from Rosario who donated a vial of Pertuzumab -the one that social work does not send-, I was able to receive chemotherapy. But I still do not have the one that I should use on August 14 for my new session, ”Berth told Infobae, overwhelmed by the uncertainty that she lives and knowing that she is not the only cancer patient who suffers from this situation.
Alicia’s full course of chemotherapy is with Docetaxel, Trastuzumab, and Pertuzumab. The last one is the one that Include Health does not send you.
Sorrowful, Alicia remembers how she realized that something in her body was not right. “I saw a lump on my right breast, exactly on the nipple, and I thought it might be a tumor, but I let myself be out of fear or ignorance and thinking that it would be something bad I did not tell anyone … Unfortunately, it grew very fast and when I was able to tell my children, who live far away and I didn’t want to worry them, they took me to the hospital and I found out that it had already spread a lot and turned into a metastasis that now affects my liver ”.
In January, the treatment began, which consisted of four “strong” sessions, the woman says, with a cocktail of drugs that managed to shrink the tumors. He was deluded. After the good news, he had to continue chemotherapy every 21 days with three combined and specific medications for the disease. “According to the doctor, I have to do this chemo for a year and then they will do new studies to see how the tumors are and how to continue,” added the woman, who is also hypertensive and suffers from Ménière’s disease, which causes progressive loss audition.
The drug combination was not random. “It is specified in the vademecum for the type of tumors you have and it is yes or yes the one you should receive”, Betiana, Alicia’s daughter, assured Infobae. So far, the woman has had seven chemotherapy sessions, they did not cut her treatment due to the pandemic.
Since mid-July, Alicia has expected that due to the legal recourse presented to the Bahía Blanca Justice, the doses she needs to re-hope to recover her quality of life will arrive before August 14. “Without knowing what else to do, we asked for an appeal from Amparo, but until now we have not obtained answers from the medical coverage. They say that the drug is not sent because it is missing, but there is to buy it in a particular way. So it is not that they are missing, they are selling it in some pharmacies “, Betiana learned, that she is a pharmacist, and found out that Each vial of the drug that Alicia does not receive costs, in particular, $ 320,000.
The case, which demands to Include Health compliance with the administration of the drugs and is under number 1004/2020 – file 3232, entered the Criminal Court No. 3 of Bahía Blanca by lot. The resolution by the intervening court is awaited on the notice presented after the breach of the precautionary measure was raised (favorable to Alicia’s request, dated July 14) and subtract the sentence.
Why doesn’t Alicia get the medication she so badly needs? The 59-year-old woman, a former worker at the shoe factory in her town, has a non-contributory pension and is not retired so It does not correspond to PAMI, but to include health coverage.
According to the program page, “Include Health is aimed at holders of National Non-Contributory Pensions (PNC), who do not have assistance from health services such as social works, and who voluntarily become members of the program”.
They are recognized in the provincial Cancer Control Plan. The Drug Bank must provide the drugs for free to all the people who “have coverage all the people who reside in the Province of Buenos Aires and DO NOT HAVE health coverage (social work, mutual or prepaid). The beneficiaries of the PROFE INCLUIR SALUD program residing in the provincial territory are covered by the Bank ”.
In addition, it ensures that “The Bank covers the drugs listed in the official vademecum of Oncological Drugs” which details that the three drugs Alice needs must be delivered.
From the Ministry of Health they assured Infobae than “When the management took over, in December 2019, it found that the annual purchase of oncological drugs had not been made to supply the stock and thus provide a response to patients.”
From the agency, they added: “Added to this with the impossibility of being able to buy, because there was a debt dating from mid-2018. Today, purchasing processes have already begun, among which is the drug Pertuzumab to have in stock but also to respond to a series of judicial protections, which oblige the State to deliver the drug, but also to the suppliers to sell it. Something that does not happen so easily due to the debt incurred. On the other hand, These purchasing processes are very expensive and in large quantities, so the different control and control processes make the purchase slow, added to the situation of the pandemic ”.
Hoping that her right to health will be repaid, Alicia said that old ailments have returned in these months: “I felt pricks in my breast as before the treatment.” Sorry for this, she regretted that “The doctors at Penna Hospital who treat me say nothing about it. They don’t pay much attention to me and they don’t give an answer ”.
Before that missing, he says, everything seemed to be fine. “A few months ago they did a study to see how the tumors were and we learned that they had decreased. This shows that the combination of these drugs is the correct one for her, but for three months she has not received them ”, Betiana assured and remarked:“ I spoke with a person from ANMAT, which is the regulatory body for medicines, and they say that the drug that my mother does not receive if it is available in the country. So it is achieved ”.
Despite this serious fault, in these three months, Alicia counted on the solidarity of those who had relatives suffering from cancer and who, after their losses or change of treatment, donated the leftover drugs to a group.
“There is a solidarity group of people who make the vials available to those who need them and foundations that help share requests for help. of those who require oncology or hematology drugs, which are the most expensive, ”Betiana revealed. Thanks to that group, my mother was able to have her blister this month, but there are a lot of cases like hers, although the Vademecum of oncological drugs must be fulfilled by the Drug Bank of the Ministry of Health. It is not that they can choose to have them or not. If it is in the formulary they are obliged to have them by law ”.
Alicia’s daughter added: “This is a very stressful situation. I am 36 weeks pregnant, about to give birth, and I could not connect with my situation due to the nerves and stress of going after a social work and the anguish of not knowing if my mom will have her medication to continue the treatment that was working for him. Until I have it, I will not be calm, the lack of response is desperate. “

Fresh off their first win of the season, Menlo was looking to make it two straight in their 2011 California Pacific Conference opener against Simpson University. The Lady Oaks were able to control the tempo for most of the game and behind the performance of forward Steffany Dudley, Menlo kicked off their conference slate with a stellar 2-0 victory.
The freshman from Sandy, UT continued her recent roll with two more scores to bring her team leading total to seven, including five in the last two contests. With the score deadlocked at zero late in the first half, Dudley got things going with a 32nd minute goal on a beautiful threw ball from Kristina Roome to put the Oaks up 1-0. For Roome, the freshman mid-fielder from Sunnyvale, it was her first assist and point in her collegiate career.
Dudley's second goal came in the 65th minute with the assist going to senior Elizabeth Castaneda. For Castaneda, the forward from San Jose, it was her second assist and fourth point in the last two days.
Defensively, Menlo received key contributions from freshman Kayla Cisneroz, sophomore Valerie Comstock, and senior Mallory Todd who didn't allow the Redhawks any room to breathe in their dominant performance. Freshman goal keeper Arielle Peraza earned her second collegiate shutout after blanking Arizona Christian on Friday.
For Head Coach Scott Myers, he was upbeat about his girls' showing but still understands that there is room for improvement. "It feels very nice to get that first Cal Pac win, but I still think we can fix some things out there," claimed Myers. "I'm glad that the girls are doing what we ask of them and it's great to see our tough non-conference schedule begin to pay off."
The Lady Oaks, who now sit at 1-0 in the Cal Pac and 2-7 overall, will take their show on the road for their first road conference tilt as they travel to Rocklin this Tuesday (Sep. 27) with a matchup against the Warriors of William Jessup. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:00pm.

Saudi Arabian side Al Hilal Make €300m Record Bid For Kylian Mbappe
Al-Hilal have reportedly offered Kylian Mbappe a mega-money offer of £173.2m-per-year (€200m) deal to join the club.
Mbappe, 24, is currently in a contract stand-off with PSG over his future and was left out of their pre-season tour of Japan and South Korea.
The striker is contracted to the French giants until the summer of 2024 but he has so far refused to sign an extension in Paris, with reports again linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
PSG’s owners have said he must be sold if he cannot agree on a new deal, with the club willing to accept less than the £155m they paid Monaco to sign him in 2017 to avoid losing him for nothing.
According to Italian journalist, Tancredi Palmeri, Al-Hilal – one of the four Saudi Pro League clubs owned by the Public Investment Fund has made a mega-money offer to sign him.
He claims they’ve offered the player €200m (£173.2m) per year on a two-year deal, which could include a release clause after the first year solely reserved to Real Madrid.
The report also states they would pay a €200m (£173.2m) transfer fee to PSG as well, which would likely satisfy the Parisians’ demands to let him go.
Mbappe – who is reportedly prepared to sit out the season to force through a move has been long linked with Real but opted to sign a new contract worth £650,000-per-week with PSG rather than join them last summer.


What I've found out so far online:
- I know about the various hole patterns, monitors tend to be 75x75 or 100x100mm square patterns. TVs that you might use for a larger monitor might be 200x100.
- As far as screw sizes, the 75x75, 100x100 and 200x100 tend to use metric "M4" screws at least 10mm long, 4mm outer diameter, course 0.7 thread pitch, etc.
- And for larger TVs, I've seen some vendor specific quick release systems.
But is there such a thing as a "quick release VESA adapter" for monitors?
Here's the scenario:
- When using standard VESA screw mounting, you've got to hold a monitor in mid air, quite precisely, while another person tries to insert 4 rather finicky screws.
- If a monitor connection point is up high or in some other awkward-to-access spot, this gets really difficult, even for a 3 person team.
- Some vendors let you secure the arm to the monitor while it's on a table, then pop the monitor in place, but is very vendor specific.
What would be easier, if it exists at all, would be: * Screw in half of some "adapter" into the monitor mounting point or end of the arm, with a standard VESA hole pattern. * Screw the second half of this "adapter" into the monitor, while it's on a table. * Then lift up the monitor to the mount point and "click-in" or "hook on" or otherwise engage the two halves of the adapter.
I'm NOT looking for "shopping advice", I'm asking if such a things exist at all? And if so, what they might be called?
And if there aren't any "quick release" monitor standards, then= what do other folks do in these situations? This must come up? Does everybody just settle for one vendor for their entire system / company?
And let's say you didn't mind buying from a subset of vendors, do any of the modular mounting systems interoperate with each others parts? Can I get "rails" from one vendor" and "arms" from another?
Moderators: I realize superuser is often about OS issues, but VESA is a pretty important standard for physically mounting peripherals. I'd think most power users would want multiple monitors these days, so options for configuring that would seem on-topic. And I don't see this information discussed, in this way, on other sites. Google searches keep bringing back vendor pages, etc, not useful information.

My husband of 41 years and I have two married, adult children and they have blessed us with six grandchildren. I live in a small, rural community where everyone knows everyone and close family ties are valued. I retired this year after 33 years in education and I hope to have more time to enjoy my hobby of bird watching and photography. To be able to travel and see some of the beautiful places I see pictures of on Weather Underground would be a dream come true.

However, sustainability in dentistry goes beyond just using eco-friendly materials and practices, it involves the entire process from design to operation. Learn more about sustainable practices in all aspects of dentistry here.
The design of a dental practice is crucial in ensuring its sustainability. This includes the choice of materials used in the construction process, the amount of natural light allowed in the space, and the use of energy-efficient appliances. Designing a sustainable dental practice not only saves on energy costs but also creates a comfortable and healthy environment for both patients and staff.
The use of digital technology in dentistry has revolutionized the way dental practices operate. Digital X-rays, for example, reduce radiation exposure to patients and staff while also eliminating the need for traditional X-ray film, which is harmful to the environment. Electronic records and appointment scheduling also minimize paper waste, while digital communication methods such as emails and social media reduce the need for printed materials.
Waste reduction is a critical component of sustainability in dentistry. Dental practices generate a significant amount of waste, including used materials, instruments, and disposable items. Implementing recycling programs for items such as paper, plastic, and metal reduces waste and contributes to a cleaner environment. Additionally, using reusable instruments and sterilization equipment reduces the need for disposable items.
Educating patients and staff on sustainable practices is an essential part of creating a sustainable dental practice. Encouraging patients to take an active role in their oral health and providing them with information on eco-friendly oral hygiene products, such as bamboo toothbrushes and fluoride-free toothpaste, can help to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
Marketing a dental practice as sustainable can attract new patients who value eco-friendly practices. Highlighting sustainable practices such as the use of digital X-rays, recycling programs, and energy-efficient appliances can differentiate a practice from its competitors and increase its appeal to environmentally conscious patients.
Incorporating sustainability into dental practice design has numerous benefits, including cost savings, improved patient experience, and a healthier environment.

Lehmann Maupin is pleased to present an exhibition of recent paintings and drawings by Margherita Manzelli. The Milan-based artist is known for her portraits of fictional women, which emote a deep psychological tension. Manzelli has played an integral role in the reinvigoration of figurative painting, though she exhibits infrequently and does not produce her time-consuming paintings in great volume. Bluebird will be her first exhibition at the gallery, with an opening reception on Thursday, January 24, from 6 to 8 PM at 536 West 22nd Street.
The women Manzelli paints are not self-portraits, but do serve as a reflection of the artist. The subjects’ emotional depth individuality distinguish each figure, even as they simultaneously seem to fulfil purely archetypal roles linked to tropes of idealised femininity—isolation, self-possession, and melancholy. While this is perceived instinctively in the characters' expressions and physical solitude, they feel equally defiant of such categorisation. Each subject is borne of Manzelli’s imagination, their backgrounds contrived as small habitats that may spark recognition for the viewer, despite their nonexistence beyond the painting.
The expert and confident draftsmanship exhibited in Manzelli’s drawings is doubly offset by the fragility of these compositions. Their sparse execution, with the figures themselves only partially articulated, only emphasises the potency of each figure. Colours, patterns, and textures are judiciously applied, though these elements feel secondary to the mood that radiates from each subject. There is a strong element of performance in Manzelli’s work, and a sense of display in the meticulous rendering of clothing, posture, and expression. The people Manzelli paints are aware that they are being watched, and their self-presentation feels as intentional as the artist’s own conceptualisation of them.
Manzelli’s work eludes classification beyond its more obvious figurative representation of women. Her characters are both idealised as skinny, unthreatening ingénues, but are also pushed to the point of the preposterous. They are not aspirational creatures, but rather cautionary, and empathetic as well. The care put into the paintings is palpable, with Manzelli rendering each skilfully in oil paint, one painstaking layer at a time. The effect is otherworldly, though these women, the viewer is reminded, could also be human.

I ripped out the front right bumper of my beloved 350Z backing out of a parking space next to a curb. It popped my bumper and the rubber guard off the car and the crunching sound was even worse. I got 3 estimates because I was paying out of pocket to fix it, and Eddie at Dent Devils was the cheapest and most comprehensive of all the estimates for the work that needed to be done. I’ve had dents and door dings removed by him before when he was in PB and downtown, so I knew he was honest and a true master of his work. He did his magic and the front of my car looks brand new! He also cleared out the buildup in my headlights (noticeably different at night!) and took out another ding on the front quarter panel from when I accidently dropped a ladder against the side of the car. He is a perfectionist and was able to keep the cost pretty close to what he estimated, even though some extra work needed to be done. He let me know what all my options were based on how much I wanted to spend. I HIGHLY recommend him!


A single car pumps out 4.5 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere each year. That’s environmentally destructive, never mind the enormous health impacts. But, it’s also a waste of a hugely valuable resource. What if we could capture those emissions—and use them to grow food?
Researchers have produced a white paper which delves into this possibility: they suggest that using existing technologies, and scaling them down for cars, we could siphon off tons of CO2—and huge amounts of waste water—from exhaust pipes and reuse it in indoor farms. That could help solve two of humanity’s biggest challenges: pollution and the need to increase food yields.
We typically think of CO2 as a dirty emission that we should try to eradicate. But it also happens to be essential for several industrial processes, many of which are related to food. We use carbon dioxide to carbonate drinks, to package produce, and in the production of ice that’s needed to keep food fresh.
CO2 is also a key ingredient in the naturally-occurring process of photosynthesis. In fact, in artificial farming environments such as urban greenhouses, which now account for a growing share of many countries’ food production, farmers have found a way to increase crop production by enriching the air with higher amounts of CO2. It’s become an essential ingredient to speeds up plant growth, and increases yields in modern agriculture.
But that comes at a cost. Greenhouse-grown fruits and vegetables require an estimated 2.81 kilogram equivalent of CO2 to produce just one kilogram of food. Alarmingly, that’s generated mainly by burning fossil fuels. These farming operations require vast amounts of water too.
It just so happens that alongside CO2, the average passenger vehicle also produces about 21,000 liters of water each year, as a byproduct of combustion. The researchers were driven by the idea that both these resources could find a much better use on urban farms. So, they built a rough design for a carbon- and water-harvesting system for a car, then carried out a series of simulations to see how well that system would work in the average vehicle.
This was designed around the aim of extracting CO2 and water from the exhaust stream, a process that requires energy to power different stages of cooling and CO2 adsorption. That energy could be provided by the waste heat generated by a car’s engine, the researchers explain, which would be used to drive a small turbine to power the various processes. First, the exhaust stream would be cooled to enable the condensing and collection of water. The cooler stream of CO2 gas would then be piped to a set of adsorption units to be captured. Further compressing the CO2 would transform it from a gas to a liquid, making it easier and more efficient to store.
This liquid would then be siphoned into a removable storage cartridge, “which will be added [to the engine] as a detachable item, easy to insert and remove,” explains Maria Barrufet, professor of petroleum engineering at Texas A&M University, and lead author on the study. Drivers could remove this cartridge and empty it at various distribution points—perhaps at gas stations—from where the precious resource would be gathered for use in the agricultural industry.
The early-stage results are promising: “Simulations show that the entire process could be done by using the wasted thermal energy from the car’s exhaust, about 1/3 of the energy delivered from the combustion of gasoline,” says Barrufet.
She adds that currently, all the components exist for such a system to work, but only for carbon-capture at extremely large scales, such as power plants. The challenge would be to “scale the system down so that it fits inside a passenger car engine,” Barrufet explains. Since the work is still at the early exploratory stages, there are many questions still to answer—such as how many cooling and adsorption cycles would be needed to properly capture the water and CO2, how to design cartridges that don’t add too much to the weight of the car, and the infrastructure that would be needed to effectively distribute these resources from cars to farms.
Going forward, these are the core issues the researchers hope to investigate in new research that properly interrogates the potential.
In the meantime, the need for alternatives remains clear. More than 50% of the world’s population lives in cities, which are supplied by an increasing number of urban greenhouse farms. “Effective greenhouse production of fresh produce requires tremendous amounts of water and external sources of carbon dioxide to support plant growth,” say study co-authors Elena Castell-Perez and Rosana Moreira, researchers in food engineering, processing, safety and sustainability at Texas A&M University. “Currently, greenhouse operations burn fossil fuels to produce the required CO2. The proposed intervention would eliminate this step.”
The technology may still be a while off. But all important innovations start with a bold idea. And this one—growing food by reducing air pollution, and tackling climate change—certainly seems like one worth watching.

If cities everywhere, in California, across the country, world wide, have a common concern it is not their urban design, as usually explored here, it is public schools.
People may not give a damn about their communities; not pay taxes, vote, mow the lawn, or even nod to neighbors, being nihilists or just plan anti-social. But whether misanthropic or not, having a child in public school connects them to the world.
It is a thin string that tends to bind even the most frail human settlements, and in a democracy, such as ours purports to be, is essential to its function and no less to its future. Schmaltzy I know, but I believe it.
So even if my four accomplished children are way beyond public school, as I certainly am, I am indebted to the institution and as the unquestioned foundation of democracy fiercely support it.
This prompted me the other night to join with the Advocates for Malibu Public Schools to once again rally for an independent school district before a sadly impassive, if not duplicitous, local school board.
How else can you describe the board’s Santa Monica majority dithering inaction made more exasperating by the sanctimonious city’s posture as a bastion of liberal values. Most hypocritical is its treatment of Malibu.
There is just no justifying for Santa Monica, with its 84 percent voter majority, continuing to hold Malibu hostage, with its 16 percent minority. This is further aggravated by the communities being distinctly different and disconnected, separated by 20 miles, one essentially a preening suburban city and the other a exurban village. After all is said and done, democracy’s true test is the majority’s responsibility to guarantee minority rights.
So once again the other night the minority made its case, with speaker after speaker making the point that Malibu is simply asking local control of the schools within its isolated city lines, something that Santa Monica has, and takes for granted
Further, convincingly supported by hard facts, they argued that under the current conditions, with a self serving Santa Monica majority on the board, Malibu is being treated separately and grossly unequally; that Malibu is in a phrase was being short changed in curriculum and cash.
And so it continued, late into the night, with the board’s Santa Monica majority dodging the democratic imperative of home rule, and the paramount moral issue of what will best serve the students of Malibu.The board’s utter failure to step up and do the right thing, reminded me of a poem by Langston Hughes:
“What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up, like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—and then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over- like syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags, like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

Detecting temporal signals of a phylogenetic tree is crucial for
estimating divergence times and ccan also serve as a data quality
control measure before applying molecular clock models. The shinyTempSignal
package implemntes temporal signal analysis under both strict and
relaxed molecular clock assumptions and allows exploring temporal
signals across the entire tree as well as within different lineages.
ShinyTempSignal allows regression analysis of various types of data,
including measurable biological traits and statistical values obtained
from evolutionary analysis. Such a versatile regression analysis is
highly beneficial for discovering potential evolutionary patterns and
addressing biological questions.
Implementing using R shiny, shinyTempSignal
provides an interactive interface that allows users to visualize
analysis results in real-time and explore data easily.

Sofia is a beautiful city, full of friendly people, great weather and ridiculously cheap prices! You can survive as a tourist here extremely well. Live the high life; go to the finest bars and restaurants and pay a pittance compared to many capitals in Europe! However, if you aren't a big drinker or eater, like the drunkard fatty I am, then there actually isn't too much to do in Sofia. Other backpackers we met en-route agreed that Sofia can leave you trying to fill time and perhaps visits to Bulgaria are better spent on the Black Sea Coast where there are, apparently, non-stop parties, tourists and sandy beaches. Despite this, Sofia is a nice place and a good stop if you are backpacking, but I wouldn't recommend sticking around more than 3 days.
What is there to do?
Not a great deal if you’re a typical young backpacker, and even less to do if the weather isn't good. There is a subdued 'National Museum of Natural History' which, as you would expect, contains a lot of stuffed animals with facts and fossils. There is also a Royal Palace which is pretty, but that's about it... Although now I've done a bit of research, obviously a bit too late, I have found a few other apparent highlights but they do all revolve around museums, gardens and religious buildings, which can be good but I find they can also get somewhat repetitive. Accommodation wise, plenty of choice, all cheap and in the centre. We stayed at the Orient Express Hotel. Central, cheap, however no bar...
Eat and drink?
There is a place called 'Happy Bar and Grill' which is a mix of Hooters and TGI Fridays. Good burgers and short skirts...There are plenty of other bars, cafes and restaurants with a mix of food. There are also some really nice breakfast places with plenty of air con as the weather was quite hot which was great. Just like the food, drink is also not hard to come by. Cheap cocktails, cheaper beers, cool bars, reasons why I probably liked Sofia so much. Expect to pay £2 for a cocktail and £1 for a beer in the centre of the city in the nicest bars. Can’t complain at that, however don’t expect a huge clubbing scene, maybe that’s more out of the city but we didn't come across many clubs.
Sofia is a quiet place, and not quite like other European capital cities as its cheap, tranquil and laid back. There is culture but not many backpacking haunts. A nice place, and a good stop off for a backpacking trip but not one that necessarily should be on everyone’s agenda.
The only city in the world that spans two continents (Asia and Europe if you’re
wondering…), and the final part of my and James' Eastern Europe trip. Istanbul
at first glance is breathtaking. It is a city full of culture, tradition, religion
and friendly people. We were lucky enough to be travelling during the month of Ramadan,
which meant each night saw feasts and celebrations outside the gigantic
mosques. A few days or even a week in Istanbul means you won’t be tired of
finding things to do and see, however when we went, the summer, the city was really hot for my
pale northern skin. This made it quite difficult to full on 'backpack' and travel
around the city. Despite the heat, Istanbul is a great place to visit, and a
great city for those with the backpack bug. As you would imagine of the capital of one of the world's foremost emerging countries, Istanbul is tourist friendly, but unfortunately comes
with the prices to match. Expect
Western Europe prices for food and drink, but lower for accommodation. Also
not all of the bars serve alcohol, so don’t come here for a boozy trip!
Istanbul is easy enough to get to by plane, bus or sleeper train (book a day in advance); save €15 for the border fee - a fact that we failed to remember which saw us scraping around the bottom of our bags for change - and you’ll be set. On the accommodation front we stayed in the Green Apple Hostel. Decent enough, fairly priced, right in the centre, nothing out of the ordinary but good enough to say I would stay again.
What did we do?
Istanbul has recently featured in the latest Bond film, Skyfall, and it’s nice to look around and see which sites were featured on the set. An obvious sight was the Hagia Sophia. A pricey entrance fee considering mosques similar sizes next to it were free, but then again it has the status of being a seventh wonder and it was a must see. Another spectacle is the Blue Mosque which is magnificent to see from the outside as well as the in. Near these two great landmarks is also the subterranean Basilica Cistern which has held water underground since Roman times for the local populace. A peaceful and cool spot, which is worth a quick visit, even if it is just to get out of the heat. A final ‘must see’ has to be the world famous Turkish Bazaars, (also featured in Skyfall). You can't visit Istanbul without going to the Spice Bazaar and the Grand Bazaar. Tons to buy and see; just be prepared to haggle.
Eat and drink?
As a vegetarian there wasn’t too much choice, but great restaurants none the less. Decent food and enough choice for those who like fish, kebabs and meat. Drink-wise, as I previously said not all of the bars serve alcohol but you won’t be stuck for finding a few that do. Just don’t expect too many reasonably priced clubs, or stag do’s here… Apart from alcohol it’s worth trying some of the flavoured teas which are found in most bars, which also usually provide shisha pipes. When in Turkey do as the Turkish do and be sure to try one! Overall Istanbul surprised me. It’s a beautiful city, and it has so much to offer. The people are nothing but friendly, even if you do offend them by bartering too hard in the bazaars, and you certainly won’t be stuck for things to do and places to see.
The phrases ‘good crack’
and ‘it’s grand’ spring to mind when thinking of Dublin, not only because of
the Irish lingo but the fact that Dublin is a great place to visit, to party,
and to soak up the culture. Only having spent a weekend in Dublin
I can’t provide too much detail on every corner of the city, but there is
enough here to cover the highlights and a decent trip across the water. Flights
from the UK to Dublin come as cheap as £30 so not massive cost there, the same
goes for hotels. I stayed at the Ardmore which was about a 20 minute bus ride
from town (€20 taxi on a Saturday night) and it came in at an impressive £25 a
night for a few really nice rooms, so if people say to you that you can’t
get a decent cheap hotel in Dublin, they’re lying.
What to do?
There is a great deal to do for a weekend trip but also for a leisurely week. The Guinness Storehouse is apparently a must see, although I didn’t see it because tours were fully booked, but none the less…
Second to the Guinness Storehouse is the Jameson Whiskey factory. Again, you need to pre-book a tour, I’d recommend the day before. It’s about €15 and you get a 30 minute tour including a few 'free' drinks. Apparently they annoyingly don’t make any whisky at this site, but I didn’t hear why due to the free drinks…A few other places which probably aren't on most people’s agenda are The Natural History Museum, The Dublin National Gallery, Dublin Castle, St Stephens Green park and some other park. They were free, it was cold, but they were pretty good sites and worth a visit if you’re sober and have the time. Kilmainham Gaol is the final ‘must see’ in Dublin. A famous tourist prison but also another place that was fully booked with tours, so book the day before, I’ve heard good things.
Eat and drink?
Vast amount of food places,
and not as expensive as previously heard. A personal favourite was the Queen of Tarts, a cute
set of cafes spread in the centre of the city perfect for lunch, coffee, etc.
Drink-wise, you certainly won’t go short in Dublin. Temple Bar is the area I
would recommend. We didn't try many other areas to compare but this is the main
hotspot where all the tourists and all the locals go to. It’s about €5 a drink,
good music, live bands and clubs. On the Saturday night my friend found a
great gig called 'The Irish House Party' which I'd highly recommend. An event
like this gets you into the Irish spirit and also gives you plenty of
time to go out afterwards. 'The Irish house Party' consisted of a small theatre
and a small stage of 5 people aged between 28-50 I'd say, all playing
different Irish instruments. They were full of banter, good tunes, and
even the odd Irish jig. The night was a mix of songs, dancing, jokes and a bit
of a music lesson.
Overall Dublin lives up to its 'good crack' and grand persona. A city which can be done cheap, but also not as expensive as made out if you want to go out every night, stay in hotels and eat in restaurants. Expect cheaper than London but not too far removed from that price mark. Great city, I’d definitely go back.

Q: Can you help us with regard to fall protection practices while working on top of a roof or in areas near substation transformers? We are aware of the exceptions for qualified climbers in OSHA 29 CFR 1910.269. How does that affect us?
A: Most utilities will tell you that they don't require fall protection to work a weatherhead on a roof. Many have no fall protection requirements or programs for working on top of transformers. I am aware that some utilities use the definition of a working surface issued by OSHA – at least once every two weeks or for a total of four man-hours or more during any sequential four-week period – as proof that a roof or transformer top is not a work surface and therefore an exception. (See December 18, 1997, OSHA interpretation letter to Niagara Mohawk Power Corp. at https://www.osha.gov/pls/oshaweb/owadisp.show_document?p_table=INTERPRETATIONS&p_id=22508.)

Amid complaints by European Jewish leaders that the European Union does not have a serious plan to fight rising antisemitism on the continent, a spokesman for the EU told The Jerusalem Post that the EU will not ban the entire terrorist movement Hezbollah and declines to say if the Islamic Republic is an antisemitic regime.
When the Post asked about a full ban of Hezbollah, Katharina von Schnurbein, the European Commission Coordinator on combating Antisemitism and fostering Jewish life, punted the question to her EU superiors.
Peter Stano, EU Spokesperson for Foreign Policy, told the Post that “The military wing of Hezbollah is already on EU terror list. Any changes in the nature and scope of the existing listing are for EU Member States to discuss and decide by unanimity.”
After Hezbollah operatives blew up an Israeli tourist bus in 2012 in Burgas, Bulgaria, murdering five Israelis and their Bulgarian Muslim bus driver, the EU merely proscribed Hezbollah’s military wing.
Hezbollah considers it organization to be a unified movement that cannot be divided into military and political parts. The partial ban sparked Hezbollah spokesman Ibrahim Mousawi, in 2013, to reiterate what other top officials of the organization have stated over the years: “Hezbollah is a single, large organization. We have no wings that are separate from one another.”
When asked if the Islamic Republic of Iran—the chief sponsor and strategic ally of Hezbollah—is an antisemitic regime, Stano said that the “EU has been very clear in its condemnation of antisemitism in general and of the calls for destruction of Israel by anyone who comes up with such unacceptable calls.”
The Anti-Defamation League’s CEO ,Jonathan Greenblatt, testified before the House Subcommittee on Intelligence and Counterterrorism in 2020 and said at the hearing that Iran’s regime is the top state-sponsor of Holocaust denial and antisemitism.
Greenblatt wrote in Newsweek in late June that " Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, played a hands-on role in promoting The Protocols as part of a sustained campaign to demonize and delegitimize the Jewish people." The Protocols of the Elders of Zion was "a 19th century forgery by Russian intelligence services...designed to scapegoat Jews for the empire's hardships."
Several reasons why the EU commission won’t declare the Islamic Republic an antisemitic regime might be explained by attempts not to upset the clerical leaders in Tehran in order to reach an agreement on the nation’s nuclear program.
European Union member nations are also animated by Iranian markets and trade deals, including Iran’s vast oil and gas production process.
When questioned if the EU will condemn the Iranian's regime lethal antisemitism and Holocaust denial, the spokesperson said “We do it everytime we are confronted with such remarks, not only in case of Iran.”
Christian Wigand, EU Commission Spokesperson for Justice, told the Post that “The European Commission reaffirms its firm and unequivocal commitment to the global fight against antisemitism. Any form of antisemitism, incitement to hatred and violence is unacceptable and incompatible with the values and aims of the European Union and its Member States. It must be addressed through form action, both at European and national level. These principles are non-negotiable for the European.”
Hezbollah is widely considered a deeply antisemitic terrorist organization because of its terrorism targeting Jews and calls for the elimination of the Jewish state. Germany, Britain, the US, the Netherlands, the Arab League, Japan, Canada and many additional European and Latin American countries have proscribed Hezbollah's entire organizaiton a terrorist entity.
It is an unusual situation when the commissioner to combat antisemitism, Katharina von Schnurbein, declines to deliver her view on whether the EU should outlaw the world’s most deadly antisemitic organization.
She told the Post: “Thank you for your reply. May I refer you to the reply which you received yesterday from the Spokespeoples’ Service of the European Commission (attached). Please send your requests in the future to the colleagues in charge of press queries.”
On October 13, the JTA’s Cnaan Liphshiz reported that “European Union plan to fight antisemitism ‘not serious,” Jewish community leaders say.” The article dealt mainly with the lack of religious freedom for Jews outlined in the EU plan.
The plan is titled “EU Strategy on Combating Antisemitism and Fostering Jewish Life (2021-2030).” The 26-page document does not cite Hezbollah or the Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran’s regime has conducted surveillance on Jewish and Israeli people and organizastions, planned an assasination and stokes lethal antisemitism across Europe during its annual Al-Quds rallies in European capital. The al-Quds rally promotes the obliteration of the Jewish state.
Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which was designated by the US as a terrorist organization, paid the Pakistani man, Haider Syed Mustafa, carry out an assassination of a European Jew and monitor Jewish and Israeli organizations and individuals in Germany and France.
In 2017, a German court convicted Mustafa for securing intelligence on the former director of the German-Israel Friendship Society and on a French-Israeli professor from an economic university in Paris. Mustafa was sentenced to four years and three months in prison.
Mustafa spied on French-Israeli business Prof. David Rouach, who teaches at the elite Ecole Supérieure de Commerce de Paris and served as head of the French-Israeli Chamber of Commerce, and, according to German authorities, his actions were “a clear indication of an assassination attempt.”
The US government, under both democratic and republican presidents, has classified Iran’s regime as the world’s worst state-sponsor of terrorism.

New Mexico government agencies have limited authority to investigate harassment complaints against lobbyists or from lobbyists against other parties, despite the implementation of a new policy at the Legislature.
Lobbyists are regulated by the Secretary of State’s Office, which oversees their registration and financial disclosures and can refer individuals to law enforcement when a lobbyist is out of compliance with state codes.
But the agency does not have the authority to investigate harassment or sexual misconduct complaints that involve lobbyists as either alleged perpetrators or victims, according to spokesman Joey Keefe.
“There’s not much in state law that allows anyone to do anything in those situations,” Keefe said. “Not everyone has a way to make a complaint through their employer.”
Sexual harassment is illegal under the New Mexico Human Rights Act, which defines it as a subset of sexual discrimination and often forms the basis of harassment-related civil lawsuits. But the avenue for state investigation and discipline as it relates to harassment is unclear when one of the parties is a lobbyist.
A bill that would have given the Secretary of State’s Office authority to investigate such complaints was introduced during this year’s 30-day legislative session but failed to advance.
“We’re only able to police ourselves.” said state Rep. Liz Thomson, D-Albuquerque, one of the bill’s sponsors.
According to Legislative Council Service attorney Jon Boller, registered lobbyists are considered “members of the public” under the Roundhouse’s anti-harassment policy approved by top-ranking lawmakers in January. That means a lobbyist can register a complaint about a member of the Legislature, legislative staff member, or visitor to the Capitol, or be subject to an investigation if a complaint is lodged against the lobbyist. But Boller noted the policy goes only so far.
“There is limited jurisdiction, and it has to be related to a legislative activity or a visit to the Capitol,” Boller said.
An incident involving a lobbyist outside the Roundhouse, unless it was directly related to a legislative activity such as an off-site committee meeting, would most likely not be covered under the policy, Boller said.
Sexual harassment and misconduct allegations have reverberated throughout the Roundhouse in recent months amid the national #MeToo movement, as some lobbyists and legislators have described the Roundhouse as a minefield of inappropriate comments, unwanted touching, leering looks and sexual propositions.
The renewed scrutiny prompted lawmakers to revise their harassment policy for the first time since 2008, and led state Sen. Michael Padilla, D-Albuquerque, to resign from his majority whip position over a decade-old harassment lawsuit.
Lobbyist Vanessa Alarid, who said in December that an ex-lawmaker wanted sex in exchange for voting in favor of a bill she was promoting in 2009, said Tuesday that the recent scrutiny of sexual harassment and misconduct issues could lead to greater awareness. (The ex-lawmaker has denied Alarid’s accusations.)
“All of these conversations about sexual harassment … are educating the public and letting people know the parameters for reporting,” Alarid said. “Until we change the culture, things are not going to be different, and these conversations are helping bring about that change.”
Meanwhile, Thomson said that she believes this year’s bill failed because it was filed too late in the session, and that she intends to revive it during the 2019 session.
In addition to granting the secretary of state investigative ability in complaints involving lobbyists, the measure also would have made sexual harassment training mandatory for lobbyists and given the Secretary of State’s Office disciplinary power in cases in which it confirmed misconduct. It also stipulated that the names of the individuals filing complaints would be kept confidential.
Though it lacks the authority for more binding measures, Keefe said the Secretary of State’s Office is still attempting to educate lobbyists about harassment issues. Before the most recent legislative session, the agency hosted voluntary harassment training for lobbyists, and 112 individuals attended two workshops.
There are now 563 lobbyists registered with the state this year, according to Keefe.
Editor’s note: The headline on this story has been changed to more accurately reflect the issue.

I want to improve the Weather App! 🤩
🌦 About 1-2 months ago I built the Weather App, thanks to Angela Yu's course. It’s a very simple and minimal app. It allows you to write the name of the city, or to use your location. Then, through the OpenWeather API, it shows you the temperature. 🚀
📲 I was thinking: I should increase the features of this app. Maybe add the wind speed, the direction and also the probability of rain. It’s not difficult. I just need to add some code, to get more information from the API. Then I have to change the design. Maybe I’ll use Sketch. I think it's an excellent exercise.

If we have to choose whether to devote resources to solving violent crimes or bike thefts, the choice is obvious. With that said, some are wondering why Chicago can’t have adequate resources devoted to both.
It would be a bitter turn in labor negotiations that have been stalled since December. The village says it doesn’t have the money to meet the union’s demands. CBS 2’s Mike Parker reports.
This week in south suburban Robbins, the police chief is expected to be gone, and a police captain was fired: accused of claiming he once carried LAPD Badge Number 714, which is a fictional badge from the 1950s TV show “Dragnet.”
Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart met with two trustees from the village of Robbins Wednesday, but deferred any decision on taking command of the suburb’s police department.
Dart announced the plan after Robbins police and village officials failed to remove a police administrator whose policing credentials have been challenged by a state regulatory agency.
In 2008, Sheriff Tom Dart took over patrols in south suburban Ford Heights after that village disbanded its police department because of budget woes. The sheriff’s office also has a regular police presence in south suburban Dolton.

Politics Chris Christie says Trump broke his policy promises: 'The wall isn't built. Obamacare is still there. We didn't get an infrastructure package.'
Chris Christie Works to Distance GOP From Trump, Calls Attacks 'Not a Death Sentence'
Christie suggested to his Republican colleagues that they didn't need to secure Trump's approval in order to win over voters."Yes, the president sent out a negative statement about me last week after my Republican Jewish coalition speech, and look at me. I"m still standing alive and on your program," Christie told CNN's Jim Sciutto. "This is not a death sentence for anybody. It's a disagreement.
- Chris Christie said Donald Trump's administration "didn't get a lot of stuff done."
- "The wall isn't built. Obamacare is still there. We didn't get an infrastructure package done," he said.
- Christie blamed the failures on incompetence and poor management in the White House.
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, widely viewed as a potential 2024 presidential contender, said former President Donald Trump's administration didn't deliver on its most important policy priorities.
Trump asked Christie: 'Are you going to say you got COVID from me?'
'Are you gonna say you got it from me?' Trump asked in a call an October 2020 to Christie, who at the time was in the ICU with a bout of COVID so serious he was read his last rites by his priest.'Are you gonna say you got it from me?' Trump asked when calling from Walter Reed Medical Center in October 2020, Christie revealed in his book, according to an excerpt published in The New York Times Monday.
Christie pointed out that Trump failed to build a wall on the southern US border, repeal the Affordable Care Act, and pass an infrastructure bill, despite making these promises central to his 2016 campaign.
"We didn't get a lot of stuff done," Christie told Josh Holmes, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell's former chief of staff, during a podcast interview that aired on Tuesday. "Let's just go through the list of things. The wall isn't built. Obamacare is still there. We didn't get an infrastructure package done that we wanted, so now we're stuck with theirs."
The Trump administration builtwhere no barrier existed before, and another approximately 350 miles of wall that replaced an existing wall. That is a far cry from Trump's promise to build thousands of miles of structures along the border and have Mexico pay for it.
Donald Trump's Former Ally Chris Christie Called Rudy Giuliani a 'National Embarrassment'
In this daily series, Newsweek explores the steps that led to the January 6 Capitol Riot. "Stop golfing and concede," Republican Governor of Maryland Larry Hogan tweeted at Donald Trump on Sunday, November 22. Hogan said the president's "ridiculous challenges that are not based on fact need to end.""We've always had a peaceful transition of power," he said on CNBC."The president has been saying for months that all mail-in voting was going to be bad and that they were going to be cheating. And look: if there are issues and problems, we ought to root them out," Hogan said on PBS's Firing Line.
On the issue of Obamacare, Republican lawmakers tried several times to repeal the healthcare law, but failed to do so despite having majorities in Congress. Infrastructureunder the Trump administration after the former president refused to work with Democrats on a bipartisan bill.
Last month,funding roads, bridges, ports, broadband and a slew of other priorities.
Christie argued that the Trump administration suffered from poor management and that the former president's top advisors were virtually powerless to stop him from doing what he wanted.
"They just were given less and less freedom to do what needed to be done on behalf of the president and the country," Christie said of Trump's aides. "That's a problem. That management style is a problem. I have no problem in the main with the policies that were followed by the Trump administration that they attempted to implement. I really think they were very, very solid."
Christie: McCarthy, not Trump, will be the next Speaker
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) brushed off speculation that former President Trump could become the next Speaker of the House if Republicans take back control of the lower chamber next year."I just don't think that'll ultimately happen," Christie told Julie Mason on Sirius XM's "Julie Mason Mornings" when asked about speculation Trump would come back to Washington to be Speaker, an idea floated recently by Trump's former chief of"I just don't think that'll ultimately happen," Christie told Julie Mason on Sirius XM's "Julie Mason Mornings" when asked about speculation Trump would come back to Washington to be Speaker, an idea floated recently by Trump's former chief of staff Mark Meadows.
But, Christie added, "That's not the point. The point is you've got to be able to get it done."
Christie is on a press tour after publishing his new book, "Republican Rescue: Saving the Party From Truth Deniers, Conspiracy Theorists, and the Dangerous Policies of Joe Biden." Christie was a close advisor to Trump through the 2020 election after becoming the first prominent Republican politician to endorse him in the 2016 presidential primary.
Christie has since been critical of Trump's false claims that the 2020 election was "rigged" by Democrats and insists Trump and the GOP needs to abandon its lies about the last election in order to move forward. But Trump has only doubled down on the conspiracy theories and misinformation,that Republicans must "solve the Presidential Election Fraud of 2020" in order to get GOP voters to the polls next year and in 2024.
"The former president of United States, who's ostensibly the leader of the Republican Party, is still talking about an election that happened 13 months ago that he lost," Christie told Holmes.
